  • Is there any software tool for Unity 3D to drive a vehicle (car) using Logitech G27 racing wheel with force feedback?
  • How to utilize force-feedback feature of G27 in Unity 3D?

Also intrested in this.

There is no tool available to get force feedback, the only way to get it would be using unity pro and plugins to create a corresponding input manager that handles input and gives you forcefeedback, completely avoiding the unity one

dreamora,

OK, force feedback would not work without Unity pro. How about basic functions in Logitech G27 with Unity ( free version)?

Would wheel, pedal and shift work with Unity input manager?

Thank you in advance!

You should be able to use joystick axes for the wheel, pedal, and anything else that isn’t a button. You will have to test to see which control is set for each axis.

Birdbrain,

I really appreciate for the answer! That really helps me.

How do I set up the Input Manager for the Logitech G27 racing wheel?

I think that I got JoystickController code working with the racing wheel with pedals set in separate mode. I found the code from http://wiki.etc.cmu.edu/unity3d/index.php/Joystick/Controller The code supports up to 20 buttons. I think that the code doesn’t support POV switch.

Wheel and pedals work out of the box with G27. Brake and accelerate are both mapped to the same axis as + / - of one joystick input and the wheel is mapped to another.
