Well thats exciting. I'll have to jump on it if it actually works.
How about a DFGT on PS4 with full force feeback?
Finally!
Which one of these USB things was the copied one where the creator was dicked around, and which was the legit one built after he left? I get confused. It was either Titan One or ChronusMAX?
From the comments to the video in that announcement thread:
Cronus Max (cronusmax)
That's not going to happen with the CronusMAX PLUS. We've maxed out the space in the hardware with these two wheels and pushed the processing speed to it's absolute limits. HOWEVER, there may be a full featured product in development that is dedicated just for wheels, many wheels, for both ps4 and xbox one.......

Can anything make a T300 appear as an XInput wheel on PC?

Let's give Microsoft and Turn 10 the benefit of the doubt until they've patched in (any) wheel support (at all) in Forza Motorsport Apex, which might just be next week with the big anniversary update if rumors are true.
If it's "Xbox licensed wheels only" then, then I'd start looking for workarounds.

If it really works with FFB, I'll insta-buy it. I just need it for Driveclub and GT.
I was planning on building the adapter myself with a Pi, but this is easier and ultimately cheaper.
I don't think it could be prevented with a firmware update since all the PS4 sees is a g29.
So if I buy cronosmax v2 (firmware 1.20) and your recommend usb hub I'm set and ready to go?

It doesn't STOP and CONTINUES to go from full left to full right to full left to full right aaand so on?!??
If it does that left lock, right lock thing ONCE per power-up, that's just the calibration and completely normal, every wheel has that.
Thought I would give a heads up, right now at jet.com you can get a Logitech G29 for 257 bucks or even cheaper if you pay with a debit card for those without a cash back CC (1.5% discount) thanks to their current TRIPLE15 coupon. With GT Sport coming out in a few months it aint a bad time to buy one knowing that the cheapest I've seen it has been $280ish at any time

Looking at Driveclub VR has made me realise that I need to get a steering wheel to make use out of racing games in general.
I have no knowledge of steering wheels for the PS4, when it comes to what to pick what should I look for?
Are any PS3 wheels supported?

Ha ha. Ludicrous decision.
The screen tearing killed AC for me anyway but this is still shit-tier fuckage.

Well fuck me, I saw a deal on a G29 for 200 euros and I bought it (bought the shifter too).
Time to sell my G27 (and my Fanatec, for that matter). It's basically a Driveclub-wheel only.xD

Could have gone the GIMX route and kept your G27 instead of buying what is essentially a repackaged G27.

Yeah I know and I considered it for quite some time...but then I just hate the hassle of anything extra than plug and play and I wanted to be sure of the compatibility for future proof, even though I'll miss my bad boy.
I'll sell the g27 in no time and it's basically a free exchange.

Updated version of post I made in the Forza 6 thread as per request... This is regarding UWP support for wheels on PC.
So a small chance that older wheels will be supported on the Xbox One, but better news that they are supporting older wheels on PC for their UWP platform.
Interestingly requirements for this support is Windows 10 device family
Sorry for the small derail.

Sorry for being stupid but does that mean UWP will support the G29 which is a PS4/PC wheel?
Awesome if so, I was kind of pissed I wouldn't be playing FH3 w/o a wheel, or atleast the opportunity to use mine. It's not always the most comfortable thing to use for extended periods of time but it's fun to use.

On PC I'm 90% certain that yes you'll be racing with your wheel... Xbox support is implied for your wheel in Microsoft's documentation, but documentation and reality often differ, especially if you've ever entered a jeff_rigby thread.

Nice. For now, all I care about with the g29 is PC compatibility for future racers. And since Forza will be a PC series as well, it's nice to know it'll likely be supported which I was afraid wouldn't be happening.
Just a month or so away from finding out for sure, hopefully there will be more details released before then.

We don't know that. All we've seen for now is MS confirming that peripherals supported on the One will work with games from the Windows 10 app store (or however they've worded it). Haven't confirmed G27/G29/other wheel support at all, other than the Thrusties and the G920.

I never heard that. When did they say it? I only remember them saying that wheel support - without specifying what wheels any further - is coming to UWP and the two PC Forzas. Now Frontier UK's list from a few posts above is hinting at a few last gen wheels (including the G27) and all PS4 wheels. It's not a confirmation, but a big hint at it. I'm raising my guess of this happening from higher up on this thread page from 30% to 95% now with this new info.
"We don't know yet" is basically as far as they have been willing to go when it comes to confirming if non Xbox One compatible wheels will work with FH3 on PC. If they have more up to date information regarding those wheels they should be getting the word out there but I haven't heard anything personally.

To be fair Microsoft only confirmed the list of supported wheels for Windows 10 version 1607 API the 3rd August, but Turn 10 will of known what was being targeted as they were the driving force behind wheel support.

Hopefully all wheels will be supported (or at least all recent/popular wheels).
It would benice better than nothing to be able to buy the wheel only from a G920 set (using pedals from the g29 and the shifter is already compatible with both).
It would be

My phrasing or you disagree that Turn 10 wanted wheel support for UWP but had to wait for MS to update the OS to support them?

You said "driving force"; that's also the name of another popular Logitech wheel (DF and DF GT). So, pun (doubly) not intended. xD

has anyone actually used the chronusmax and can provide feedback on how it works?
hey.
is someone able to tell me if the g29 wheel fits on the original g25 wheelstand from wheelstandpro? the one that was sold when gt5 was released?
there seems to be a revised version that is compatible, but i would like to keep my old stand if possible.
anyone made the same upgrade?

G29 has the exact same holes AFAIK for both wheel pedals as G25 and same dimensions (mould)
And since G27 have the same as G25, I guess G29 fits into G27 as well

I just bought a g29 after selling my g27, everything under the wheel and pedals is exactly the same as a g27. I have it mounted on a playseat.
In fact, the g29 is a slightly updated, reskinned g27. Even packaging is the same size.
thanks guys. so i guess ill get the g29 then.
its currently cheap on amazon uk
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00YUOVBZK/
its 100€ more in germany.
so, another question, as im out of the loop on wheel situation atm.
the g29 is fully compatible with ps4? But the games still have to support the wheel? Or is there a "generic wheel middlewear" or whatever in the ps4, so games just have to support "wheels" and all official ps4 supported wheels work? or more simple: Will all games that support wheels automatically support the g29?

Not really. This gen is dumb.
Official list from Logitech http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g29-driving-force#compatAnchor
Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_...mpatible_games#cite_note-trustedreviews.com-3
Major games are supported; I guess something like The Crew isn't considered major xD
Straight from Fanatec's Blog:
Sony, why you do this?
So if you want a Fanatec wheel on the PS4, you will likely have to buy an entirely new wheel base and wheel.
Again, this pretty much cements the fact that if you want to enjoy sim racing, you are better off making the PC your home. Forza MS # is coming to the PC. So basically you are only missing out on GT Sport, which is has a lot prove to make it worth a $500+ investment.

Damn i really want that new Porsche wheel they just released in America too.
What I don't get is does Sony really expect people to fork over $400+ ($600+ for Fanatec) for a FFB wheel just for their platform? For what. like 4 games? DiRT Rally, Project CARS, AC, GT Sport. 3 of which are on other platforms. Who is that market?
It can't be all for the licensing fee because the amount of people who would not buy the game because they can't buy the wheel would essentially balance that out. About the only thing I can think of is "perfect user experience" and brand protectionism. I guess Sony figures that if one of their customers has a bad experience with an accessory that that reflects negatively on them... (DS4 still has a POS battery... lol). But how much is that really worth?
Unlike Microsoft, Sony doesn't use XID, so it isn't a hardware/software issue. Sadly, this is probably one of those "arbitrary business decisions".

Matlo is adding support for the DirectInput API to the Gimx Adapter, does that mean all wheel compatibility is coming to PS4 in the future?
Looks like DFGT is fully compatible with the PS4 wheel mode http://cronusmax.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157283&p=1039226#post1039226

Apologies if this has been answered earlier but are there any wheels that work with both X1 and PS4?
Not sure if this has been linked, but a new CSL entry level wheel base for Xbox and PC has been released, and its half the price of the CSW

I almost jumped but I came to my senses. I just wanted to use my clubsport pedals again, so I checked basher boards website and he stopped doing pre orders for his cpx adapter, and you can just buy one again. Im going to do that since my TX wheel is perfectly fine.
Yes.....and no.
The very expensive fanatec clubsport wheel, will work with Xbox one and only Dirt Rally and Project Cars on PS4.
The next iteration of the Fanatec csl wheels will be platform locked. There will be no cross platform wheels anytime in the near future......if ever.
