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 Index with 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.
