Hello all,

I am developing my own force feedback steering wheel and wish to ask some questions regarding the output of the LFS outsim structure.

After looking through all the documentation, I haven't been able to find a value for the current position of the steering wheel. If anyone knows of the location for this value please let me know!

Alternatively, can we deduce the angle of the steering wheel in relation to the angle of the car proportionate to which direction the car is travelling, or using the G forces available from outsim.

I have angular velocity, orientation, acceleration, position and velocity from the outsim example I am using, my mathmatics skills are not great but I am working on possibly getting some form of force feedback value from these..

Any ideas/suggestions?

Tim.

Maybe you should use another approach and try scanning force feedback effects sent by the game. Have you explored x-sim software, especially Yoda? http://www.x-simulator.de/main/en/yoda2/yoda2.html
