    Hello,
    I have had great fun playing (with) BeamNG Drive for last few months and I have decided to try my old force feedback steering wheel, but I have encountered a problem :-( So i would like to ask for help.

    I have Logitech WingMan Formula Force GP steering wheel - I understand it is quite old, but.. why not. And Windows 10 64-bit. I tried searching in forums and have found some people having problems with force feedback, but nothing about it not working at all.

    I have installed Logitech Profiler software, both this software and windows sees my steering wheel and I have force feedback enabled. I can use the wheel for steering without problems, but force feedback does not works - BeamNG says "no force feedback hardware found". In BeamNG in hardware, the wheel is listed as joystick0. In BeamNG in controls, force feedback, x axis, I have tried to check the checkbox to enable force feedback anyway, and tweak the sliders, but without success :)

    Only thing that works is enabling centering force, so I know that the wheel servos are ok.

    Does anyone please have some advice on this? Can I somehow force detection of force feedback capabilities on this wheel?

    Thank you for advice!

    Can you take a screenshot of your Controls > ForceFeedback tab menu in BeamNG? That will show whether it detected any force feedback motor or not.
    If any motor is detected, please run the support.exe tool included in your BeamNG installation directory, and paste the resulting support ID number here. Thanks!

    Here are screenshots of controls-force feedback and controls-hardware. Just to be sure, I tried it with different racing game and force feedback works there (can I name the game here, if it helps?)

    We most probably cannot support FFB in your device. But just in case it's an unknown bug, could you please run the support.exe tool in your game installation directory, so I can take a quick look? Thanks!
