OS X Steering Wheel compatible with Macs

RosieKarma said:
Hello,

Ive done a lot of searching on the internet to try and find a steering wheel that is compatible with Macs.
I personally have a Mac mini and would mainly want to use the steering wheel for eurotruck simulator.
I would prefer if it had a clutch and H-shifter, however, if there is not a compatible one with such extras then I shall deal without them.
Thanks for any help of advice,

Rosie

So i can just buy the g27 and go straight to playing Euro Truck Sim 2. Or do i need download a bunch of stuff to get to work.

It will likely work in basic mode but the complex options like Gearsticks will likely not work. I'd ask the Euro Truck Sim 2 developers as they should know for sure.

How did you install a Kext file om el capitan Ive been trying for days now and can't get it to work. is there a guide somewhere ? did you disable SIP?

Hmmm, my EC was installed on top of Yosemite so the kext would already have been there.
Are you saying that something like Kext Utility doesn't work? I would think it's just a question of disabling SIP, installing the kext and re-enabling SIP.

well I just realized that the kext is actually installed, I was looking in the wrong library... But the Force Feedback still doesnt work :( I cant enable it in the optins the checkbox is greyed out.

I'm running 10.10.5, is the logitech G27 compatible with that version?
I want to play Farming Simulator 15 with it.

And is the logitech driving force GT also compatible?

Sorry, I don't know what you mean. You have a Driving Force GT, yes? Have you looked at the link I posted? On that site, it is clear that the Driving Force GT is supported out of the box by Feral in GRID Autosport.
I might be missing something, but I can't see what your issue is.

Sorry my friend. I have the "LOGITECH PS2 GRAN TURISMO 3 A-SPEC GT FORCE FEEDBACK WHEEL" I don't believe it is the one you refer to. Mine is the GT Force. Can anyone help?
 
imacken said:
Have you actually tried the wheel with GRID Autosport?
Click to expand...
Yes I have.
I have also tried installing LogitechForceFeedback.kext and
LogitechGamingInstaller neither of which seem to have helped.
When in game the wheel input is not recognised either.
Does anyone have a work around for this older wheel the "GT Force" from circa 2003. It has a USB connection so I thought the software update/patch/3rd party software may help but I can't get it to work.
Can anyone help?
Imacken many thanks for your help with this it is appreciated.
 
Are the wheel and the button presses recognised in something like Controllers Lite? (Get it on MAS if you haven't already got it.)
 
Imacken, Thats great they are all recognised. What do I do now?
[doublepost=1467141133][/doublepost]PS.. also ....
On box it is a GT Force within Controller Lite it is a
Wingman Formula Force GP
 
Not sure, but I'm surprised that you are getting nothing in game if the basic controls are working. Drop Feral Support an email. They are incredibly helpful. You can contact them via the Support tab in the game launcher.
 
Imacken, Will the full version of the Controller App help me?
I have only tried Controller Lite?
 
Wouldn't think so. Your best bet is Feral. They are very helpful. If that wheel can work somehow, they will know!

Hi, I know his is a very old post and was hoping to still going to get an answer. I read the previous conversation and I as well am looking for a wheel but can't afford a g27. Do you know any other wheels?

If you don't want to follow DesertS I would suggest the Driving Force GT controller; it's said to work with OSX and Driving Simulators as STDS. As it has been on the market for a while you might find a used one for a good price.
