I’m on Unreal Engine 5.5 and trying to use the Simple Controller (Advanced Input Device) plugin with a Logitech G29 steering wheel. My goal is to use this plugin for both inputs (steering and pedals) and force feedback.
What currently works:
-
The G29 is calibrated in Windows and force feedback works correctly in other games.
-
In UE5.5, the Simple Controller plugin detects the wheel:
-
Find Controller by Device Indexwith index 0 returns Found = true. -
Steering and pedal input from that device drive my vehicle correctly.
-
-
The Raw Input plugin is disabled, as recommended by the Simple Controller documentation.
-
Logitech software (G HUB / LGS) is closed while testing.
For force feedback, I’ve added a small Blueprint section (circled in red in the screenshot I’ll attach):
-
Key press →
Find Controller by Device Index(Device Index = 0) -
Pass the returned device into Rumble Wheel with reasonable strength and duration values
However, the node reports that rumble/FFB does not exist for this device and the G29 never rumbles, even though input from the same device works perfectly.
