| The Basic Idea |
Things you need
1. A Wheel with or without Force Feedback

2. X360CE Controller Emulator

3. A general understanding of what buttons are what, and what you wish them to do.
4. To understand that any Force Feedback wheel has rules applied to it's buttons already,
And that there is no need to create such rules in the first place, only to bind them.
| How to Begin Setting Up |
First, when you start X360CE, you'll notice it has a pop up for a missing plugin.
Allow it to create a new one, this is the config for your controller, It won't work without this.

After you've figured that out, try not to be intimidated by the layout, it's pretty simple from here actually.
All we have to do now is click the corresponding button we'd like to route, such as bottom left trigger to brake, and bottom right trigger to accelerate.
This is done by clicking the box of a specific button, and clicking record action, then pressing a button on the wheel.
Also, something I found that helped me was to ensure the wheel itself was set to Stick Axis Y rather than on Steer Left/Steer Right.
This allows the Force Feedback to work more efficiently from my experience.
After you've bound the controls to the Emulator, we can move to the last couple things!

| Adding the game you want the Emulator to Work With |
This is the last step where we use the Emulator, However, you may change certain things later such as where your E Brake is bound.
Our goal here is to use the wheel with a specific game that does not originally support our wheel in the first place.
So in order for the wheel to work, the game must believe there is a controller being used.
By clicking the green "Add" Button, we can navigate our file directory to find our game we wish to play through our steam library, and add it to the list of games for the emulator to pair with.

After you've done this, you should be able to use your wheel in the game of your choice.
Be aware that in the game settings your wheel should be set to the exact same rotation #, and your settings should be less than 30% steering help, and set to the most linear setting on Project Torque.
It's all messing around and finding good preference at this point, so enjoy!
Also, Remember that when you want to play a game with the wheel, you must start it from X360CE.
Otherwise it will not recognize the wheel.

Rick, You'll notice at higher speeds there is less information than at low speeds, this is due to how the game was coded and would only be fixed by the community devs at this point, the best solution would be to port the game to UE5 and implement the Logitech SDK packages to allow the engine to properly orientate the linearity of the force feedback with wheels to be adjusted by how fast the car is moving in comparison to the tire contact patch and road.

I cant make it to work as full force feedback. I mean it works to vibrate and five some motor effect but his is not force feedback. With x360se you will not to fell on the wheel when racing a high speed corner - at least I tried everything I saw and it not works. Just basic vibrations patterns works for me.

Steelpoint, i own the G920, and can verify that it indeed works and feels great, it's simply a matter of tuning the x360ce software!
I understand it's a bit difficult to pin down, however if time is taken to do so, you may find a comfortable spot with it as even CarX feels decent with a mechanical system sometimes!

[At the end of this i realized you were talking about the G29, and I now understand your pain, I am deeply sorry for your experience, good luck, lmfao]

Just saying but it won't work for the Logitech G920 as the output from the wheel is just borked and x360CE Straight up doesn't like it but otherwise good guide :steamthumbsup:

I've found that 0% Steering Help feels really good, the more you have, the less sensitive the car is.
