Thank you very much for this video. I had used a DD1 + Heusinkveld Sprint pedal combo in the past when I was heavily into GTSport and GT7 when it initially came out with just the DriveHub and it was a pretty decent experience. Somewhat recently though I ended up parting with my DD1 and went with Simagic for the wheelbase. I was iching to get back into GT7 since it seems they've turned the game from a shitbox to a passable shitbox but wasn't sure how I'd use my new wheelbase. I know Simagic has their own spoofer device but it only seems to support Simagic hardware so my pedals wouldn't work. Knowing that this setup you outlined works is giving me hope again so I'll definitely be looking into the GIMX + DriveHub solution very soon! Thank you very much!
Awesome, I'm glad it gave you some useful info :) I didn't know Simagic did their own device, but it would be great if more manufacturers did that. Better still, a single device from a good company that does the work of the Drivehub, GIMX and hori controller all in one, but that's just wishful thinking.
Hi, it's not made by Simagic themselves, it's the Sigma Cortex Converter (it's only compatible with the Simagic ecosystem and has 4 usb inputs with a screen to show adjustments of ffb and rotation degrees set). And like the Ras1ution 2, it emulates the g29 which as with all g29 emulators gives you the logitech centre wobble. The drivehub looks the best experience so far set to fanatec mode.
@@liquidsk8s thanks for letting me know 👍 While I'm sure that will massively improve the dynamics of the interaction between sim and wheel, I still can't get past only being able to use the Simagic ecosystem. Not that I'm saying that Simagic are bad, but there are other options out there, not to mention the countless people who already have a setup that just can't use the Cortex because their gear isn't from Simagic. In summery, it all boils down to Sony locking the door and preventing us from using OUR PAID FOR consoles to play games/sims the way we want to play them. And they can hardly say it's to level the playing field when there are already so many different brands and wheel types out there that have native compatibility but just aren't quite to the level some people desire.
Thanks for this astonishing guide.I was a little bit scared for input lag, but it runs very smooth.I have simucube1/he pro to play on pc and it works much better than t300 that i tested a year ago.Gt7 seems completely another game.Thanks again!
Mate. All I can say is EXCELLENT job on this tutorial. Out of all the "How to get any wheel working on PS5" videos I've seen, yours is the best one by FAR. I have already been using gimx on my PS4 to play GT7, but I'm thinking of upgrading to a PS5, which led me to your vid. It works well on PS4. I have a Leo Bodnar DD wheel and I see you have a SimuCube. Both are similar in terms of power and NM strength, so I was wondering are you getting any annoying oscillations around the center when driving in GT7? I've heard from various comments that oscillations is one of the main issues when using non-supported wheels to play GT7 using this method. Perhaps the Fanatec mode on the Drive Hub eliminates this problem?
Just bought one of these from you, works great 👍🏻😊 Please can you tell me the reason you use the G27 over the G29? Only reason I ask is that the G29 config gives you the option to map a PS button, which I’d like to do to allow me to centre the VR headset more easily
I believe it just doesn't work. You're welcome to try it, it's not a problem to switch firmware, but I'm pretty sure if it did work I'd be using it. If you try, please let me know, it's possible I'm mistaken, though I'd be very surprised if I hadn't tried it.
Hi mate. I got this working for 2 days. Then had a windows 11 software update. Caused all sorts of problems. Had to factory reset with help from the company I bought my pc from. Now I can’t get it working at all. Once installed I restart as asked but it won’t boot correctly. I have to do a restore point. Then I get all sorts of conflicts from various programs. Had to reset twice now. Very strange.
@@danieladams1851 Wow I have no idea what could be causing all that! I wouldn't of thought the GIMX could be the sole cause, unless somehow the update specifically has caused some conflict. Hope you get it sorted out.
Incredible information and the most recent on this subject that I can find after hours of searching, I even saw your other video from Nov. 2019 on this subject. Thank you for this tutorial. I am setting up my first rig and after researching, it looks like SC2 PRO is the way to go, running on a gaming PC. I would like get the SC2 PRO first and play GT7 on my existing PS4 and eventually get a PS5/VR and a gaming PC but that is a lot of clams, so piece by piece. I have read that the FFB is soft, or not as detailed when using the SC2 PRO and GT7 this way compared to a console compatible wheel, in which the options are limited. My question is: 1) What is your opinion on the FFB in this set up? Is it soft or bland as I have been reading? Or has firmware and settings put it on par with console offerings for GT7 or is it just good enough to get-by? 2) Is there any notable lag with the GIMX, DriveHub, game pad and computer when driving? Being a novice, I don't think I would notice at first and a lot is involved such as monitors but I can't find much info on lag time with this set up. For reference I use my buddy's PS5/VR with a Logitech G923 so I hope this setup will be levels above that. I don't think the console offerings that work on PC (like DD Pro+ or Logitech G Pro) will be enough for some of the PC sims on the computer and I only want one base. Thank you for your time sir!
Hey thanks :) Well I find the FFB decent enough to feel what is going on and to be immersed. Certainly good enough that when the headset is on and I'm in the car I don't think twice about how good the FFB may or may not be. As for lag, I don't perceive any myself. However, this setup is of course a bit of a faff but serves a helpful purpose of using our non-compatible console rigs on GT7. If you want things more straight forward I'd at least consider the Logitech G Pro. The wheel and pedals are very good and you would be able to plug and play console or PC. Also, you may have trouble getting a GIMX now, I see on their site it's always out of stock, so you'd have to keep an eye out and do some searching
Sorry if this was answered elsewhere, but if I've already got a PS4 controller on hand am I good? Or do I specifically need to buy one of these mini-controllers you've used and referenced in the comments? Thanks!
Thanks for bringing this up, helped me a lot to decide against Fanatec ecosystem. :-) Only one thing tha drives me crazy. On straights, the force feedback is trying to turn left and right so hard that I cannot handle it. Do you know which setting I have to adjust to in my Simucube or in the gimx driver that I don't have to think I am in the gym? Thanks! Oh, and yes, I switched to Fanatec mode.
Hmm not sure on that one sorry. I was all ready to say Fanatec mode until your last sentence lol. If it's that hard on straight, it's not inverted is it? I'm pretty sure you would have noticed that though to he honest lol.
It’s because you’re using a honestly terrible workaround. The issue is the game sees your wheel as a Logitech G29. Hence the crazy oscillations. The only way around that is to use the Sigma Cortex converter, but then you are required to use Simagic pedals. For GT7, the best DD option is still Fanatec/Drivehub.
@@karstenduffert8359 the Sigma Cortex is the best option for Simagic. The reason is they have it connect to the console as a Logitech G DD wheel which is a 11Nm FBB profile. The hope is they find a way to use the Fanatec Podium profile which is 20Nm.
Great video thanks mate. Surprised your not in SC2 yet. When I went from SC OSW too the SC2 Pro the difference was really noticeable in regards to fine detail smoothness and response. What air con are you using my room gets sooo hot
No no no, I need you to tell me the upgrade isn't worth it!!!! I got this one: amzn.eu/d/2RKEYpk As you can see it's raised off the floor in a permanent position between cockpit and flight sim stuff, so it takes up no additional space :) Plus takes second to put the hose in or out the window. The problem is I use it all the time now, I like being at the verge of needing a hoodie on lol. This one doesn't connect to wifi, but sometimes I like to turn it on before I get home so I have attached a Switchbot to the button, so a little robotic arm comes out and turns it on for me :)
When I do the axis on steering wheel for me it shows Axis 0 and Axis 1 Imediatelly without even move it, problem is that It does not work for me since it completely steers to the left or right in game so my steering is not working, Any idea on what is going on?
@@AdamsSIMporium yes I did. Figured it out because you are using steering wheels that are not asetek so I disconnected mine and I did the setup just moving the hub without any steering wheel attached and it worked.
I have a tgt2 wheelbase and im happy with the base for now as im waiting for the Direct Drive Thrusmtaser console version so my question is can i still use my TGT wheel base but with heuskinveld Pedals? will my wheel drop in performance or something like input lag or some sort of that?

This is great thank you :) Couple questions if youre able to help; In gt7 does it detect it as the fanatec dd gt wheel? If not, could the ffb profile be not as good as if it did, considering the fanatec csl is not a direct drive wheel... Or maybe that's irrelevant Is there an alternative to the hori gamepad? Doesn't look readily available these days Thanks!
Thanks :) game sees it as CSL with the Drivehub on Fanatec mode. I don't know if the ffb is different or wheel or perhaps game sends out the same ffb and telemetry regardless and the wheelbase. You can use the Nacon PS4 Compact Controller which should be on Amazon.
@@AdamsSIMporiumthis doesn’t sound right. It shouldn’t see it as a CSL. It’s using the G29 profile not the Fanatec one. The CSL is belt fed though so that profile is also completely different. The profile being used is crucial to performance.
@@liquidsk8s No, it is right. You're welcome to keep the Drivehub in it's normal mode, but you will have a horrible experience, particularly when changing direction. In Fanatec mode that goes away. Sure it makes sense to assume profiles should correspond nicely, but that's not the real world situation in this scenario.
@@AdamsSIMporium did you read what I said? I never mentioned “drivehub normal mode”. I run Fanatec mode, I know exactly how it works. Everything I’ve found, the gimx/drivehub combo has the Simucube connecting as a G29 not a CSL. How did you confirm which profile your on. My point was the the profile is critical to which FFB profile is being sent to the wheel. IE if my DD2 connects as a G29 it will run like crap.
Can I use this for the fanatec csl dd ? Bc the dd pro is to expensive , is there any difference ffb? I have a pc and a ps5 I would like to play gt7 and some forza on the pc
Yes, the good news is you don't need the GIMX as your wheel is supported by the Drivehub, though you still need the Hori controller. Have a look at the Drivehub website: www.drivehubnow.com/fanatec-wheels
Is it possible to use it to connect contorller to both xbox and PC so that both read the controller input at the same time? OR maybe anyone could recommend any solutions which can achieve that?
@@AdamsSIMporium trying to figure out if I can send input from the wheel into xbox and at the same time use the same input to control the software on PC, like Simhub
How strong is the FFB? Thats my biggest concern. If its just a center spring I can keep playing on my G29. But if its really strong like 20Nm I´d wanna try this before I spent another 1-2k for a GT7 DD setup. Have the SC2 Pro and Heusinkvelds for PC.
Well that depends on how strong you set it. I have a 28nm wheel, I could crank it up to break my wrists in GT7 just as I could in any game. The game doesn't determine how strong it is.
So hear this.. I have a cal elite ps4 edition but I have a usb compatible wheel and an emulator to trick the wheel into thinking there’s a fanatic wheel connected.. would I be able to just use gimx to connect the wheel only and just map buttons? But keep the fanatic wheelbase directly connected to the ps4?
On PS4 you don't need the Drivehub, but GIMX would only work as Logitech, so in that scenario the game wouldn't mix and match Fanatec and Logitech. You will need to run wheel and base through as Logitech. However, that may work if u got a Drivehub too as per this video. In Fanatec mode it emulates the CSL elite. In theory then you could just connect the base natively. It's just whether or not it would accept 2 usb connections for the wheel...
If you only have a PC rig and want to play GT7 with a wheel then of course it's worth it :) Don't go out and buy a PS5 just to do it though. It's a good game but it wouldn't replace a PC sim as your sim of choice. It is fun though, and gorgeous, and the best looking racing game in VR in my opinion. Perhaps it's the OLED display in PSVR2 or the HDR, and the lighting and textures in game, but car interiors look so real. They have nailed the look of chrome.
Trying to figure out how to get ddpro working on ps3 console. If anybody has a clue let me know thanks.i want to play GT5/6 f1. 2010-2015 if possible. 2015 plays on ps5 but no wheel support.
Thanks this helped me set it all up great! but there is a weird centre of the wheel wobble though on the wheel will adding deadzone help this or do you know a good range for this to add to the DZ?
@@liquidsk8s I'm not sure you understand the point of all this. It's for using equipment for which there simply is no profile, equipment that is not compatible with the PS5. This allows you to use it, and these are the profiles you need to use. Is it perfect? No. Is it actually pretty good, allowing you to use otherwise incompatible equipment and have fun? Yes.
@@alimflerendes6955 Yes, go to 7:12 to see that setting. If you leave at 100, you will have the full 20nm. Mine is 28nm so I think I set it to 15 or so.
Hello mate I was wondering if you could help me out, I’ve been using CSL dd, Drivehub/ ps5 for 8 months without a problem and now it doesn’t work. Everything is updated and tried new cables. The hori controller controls ps5 through the hub no problem but nothing on the wheel. My process is plug hori in, then wheel, then usb to ps5, then my wheels display says “USB NOT CONNECTED” Are you having any issues? I’m wondering if it’s hard wear or soft wear problem. I’m really struggling to find a solution, I’ve tried contacting collective minds but they don’t get back to me
Hi, I'm having no issues. I don't connect things individually though. Wheel and Hori are always connected to Drivehub for me, which is always connected to the PS5.
@@AdamsSIMporium yeah sorry that may have read wrong. It’s normally always connected and has been for months. I’m just talking about recently it’s been playing up so I’ve rewired it and that’s how I do it
@@Readie1 Oh right, sorry no idea why it would just stop suddenly. Hard to troubleshoot the issues too, could be the Drivehub or Hori, or neither... All I can say is maybe contact Drivehub or see if they have forums, which I'm sure you have aleady. Hope you figure it out though.
@@AdamsSIMporium yeah it’s a pain. I’ve tried contacting them and get absolutely no response awful support. I’ve had to order another and try it even though I don’t want to give them more money, it’s that and prey it fixes or fork out for a GT dd pro
I think I had that before, not sure in the fix, I think just a restart did it. Run gimx launcher as admin if you're not, and of course don't use a USB hub.
Hello, thank you very much for the tutorial, I'm trying to configure the PS button but I couldn't find it, at minute 19:45 of your video the button options menu appears like mine and doesn't show the PS button, how did you manage to assign it to one button in gimx-config?
Hey sorry not sure what you mean. The time you point to is the end of the video, but I just looked at my GIMX config and I don't have any PS button assigned.
@@AdamsSIMporium Hello again, thank you very much for responding so quickly! Let me try to explain better, for example at minute 5:48 when choosing the type of control, the G27/ PS3 PC is selected, which does not present the PS button option, my question is, how can I activate the control on the PS5 without the PS Button?
Hello again! I managed to connect the Gimx inside the PS5, I thought it was necessary to press the PS button, and it was able to access the menus, but when I try to play the steering wheel doesn't respond, and I noticed that my pedals are being recognized as if they were pressed up to the maximum, well at least I understood how to connect the steering wheel, thanks again for the tutorial!

Only "gimx-launcher" yes, but you just run it and click start. Once you have set it up the first time, you can have it running in 2 seconds from then on.
Hi, yes they are on ebay and etsy. TH-cam might have deleted my comment for VERY strict anti-spam even though I'm an active and legit TH-cam user. Heck, even THIS comment might get deleted!!
I would it expect it too yes, and without the Hori controller. If your wheel is listed on the Drivehub site as compatible, you only need the Drivehub. If not, you need a GIMX too, but the Hori controller is only needed for PS5.
Hi, sorry for the very late reply, but it seems the only place to get one now is from Etsy... www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1544756349/gimx-usb-adapter-compact-version-for-ps4
@@finnchen0111 Not sure about reverse, but you shouldn't need to set a neutral. It should just go in to neutral when not in a gear when using h shifter, like any PC sim really.
how would you do all these settings on your computer if this is connected directly to the PS5 as opposed to connected to computer for remote play? cheers
Setup up the config and run launch with PC, and can remote play on PC. The wheel controls the PS5. Remote Play can be played using any controller like normal, so the connected works.

Not really because my gear isn't compatible with that, I'd still need to go through a GIMX first, same as with the Drivehub.
Can another controller also be used? I can't find this one from the video thank you
Yes, you can use the Nacon PS4 Compact Controller, which is on Amazon I think.
Does this work for cammus c12 or c5?
It should. The GIMX basically turns any input in to a Logitech wheel, you could use a dance mat if you wished lol.
This is great thank you :)
Couple questions if youre able to help;
In gt7 does it detect it as the fanatec dd gt wheel? If not, could the ffb profile be not as good as if it did, considering the fanatec csl is not a direct drive wheel... Or maybe that's irrelevant
Is there an alternative to the hori gamepad? Doesn't look readily available these days
Thanks!
Thanks :) game sees it as CSL with the Drivehub on Fanatec mode. I don't know if the ffb is different or wheel or perhaps game sends out the same ffb and telemetry regardless and the wheelbase. You can use the Nacon PS4 Compact Controller which should be on Amazon.
@@AdamsSIMporium Thanks :)
@@AdamsSIMporiumthis doesn’t sound right. It shouldn’t see it as a CSL. It’s using the G29 profile not the Fanatec one.
The CSL is belt fed though so that profile is also completely different. The profile being used is crucial to performance.
@@liquidsk8s No, it is right. You're welcome to keep the Drivehub in it's normal mode, but you will have a horrible experience, particularly when changing direction. In Fanatec mode that goes away. Sure it makes sense to assume profiles should correspond nicely, but that's not the real world situation in this scenario.
@@AdamsSIMporium did you read what I said?
I never mentioned “drivehub normal mode”. I run Fanatec mode, I know exactly how it works.
Everything I’ve found, the gimx/drivehub combo has the Simucube connecting as a G29 not a CSL. How did you confirm which profile your on.
My point was the the profile is critical to which FFB profile is being sent to the wheel. IE if my DD2 connects as a G29 it will run like crap.
Can I use this for the fanatec csl dd ? Bc the dd pro is to expensive , is there any difference ffb? I have a pc and a ps5 I would like to play gt7 and some forza on the pc
Yes, the good news is you don't need the GIMX as your wheel is supported by the Drivehub, though you still need the Hori controller. Have a look at the Drivehub website: www.drivehubnow.com/fanatec-wheels
Is it possible to use it to connect contorller to both xbox and PC so that both read the controller input at the same time? OR maybe anyone could recommend any solutions which can achieve that?
I don't know sorry, not sure if anything can do that. Why do you want to be able to if I may ask?
@@AdamsSIMporium trying to figure out if I can send input from the wheel into xbox and at the same time use the same input to control the software on PC, like Simhub
How strong is the FFB? Thats my biggest concern. If its just a center spring I can keep playing on my G29. But if its really strong like 20Nm I´d wanna try this before I spent another 1-2k for a GT7 DD setup. Have the SC2 Pro and Heusinkvelds for PC.
Well that depends on how strong you set it. I have a 28nm wheel, I could crank it up to break my wrists in GT7 just as I could in any game. The game doesn't determine how strong it is.
@@AdamsSIMporium Awesome, thanks! Your GIMX ships to Turkey? Also what should I chose? USB-C oder Micro? Have a Simucube 2 Pro and Heusinkveld Pros.
@@PrepaidKreditkarte81 Hi, sure can ship anywhere. You can choose C or Micro, makes no difference, just whichever you prefer.
So hear this.. I have a cal elite ps4 edition but I have a usb compatible wheel and an emulator to trick the wheel into thinking there’s a fanatic wheel connected.. would I be able to just use gimx to connect the wheel only and just map buttons? But keep the fanatic wheelbase directly connected to the ps4?
On PS4 you don't need the Drivehub, but GIMX would only work as Logitech, so in that scenario the game wouldn't mix and match Fanatec and Logitech. You will need to run wheel and base through as Logitech.
However, that may work if u got a Drivehub too as per this video. In Fanatec mode it emulates the CSL elite. In theory then you could just connect the base natively. It's just whether or not it would accept 2 usb connections for the wheel...
@@AdamsSIMporiumthat’s interesting. I have an old Cronus max plus there I wonder if that would work. I’m gonna dig it up and see what is possible
Anyone using with SImlab pedals?
Is it worth the effort? How do you find GT7 compared to top end PC Sims? Thanks
If you only have a PC rig and want to play GT7 with a wheel then of course it's worth it :) Don't go out and buy a PS5 just to do it though. It's a good game but it wouldn't replace a PC sim as your sim of choice.
It is fun though, and gorgeous, and the best looking racing game in VR in my opinion. Perhaps it's the OLED display in PSVR2 or the HDR, and the lighting and textures in game, but car interiors look so real. They have nailed the look of chrome.
Adam, did you sell the 4090 ? Looking to buy one ?
Sorry mate don't have it now, person I was selling it for (non ebay user) changed their mind.
Trying to figure out how to get ddpro working on ps3 console. If anybody has a clue let me know thanks.i want to play GT5/6 f1. 2010-2015 if possible. 2015 plays on ps5 but no wheel support.
Thanks this helped me set it all up great! but there is a weird centre of the wheel wobble though on the wheel will adding deadzone help this or do you know a good range for this to add to the DZ?
Hi glad it helped. Have you put the Drivehub in to Fanatec mode?
It’s because this workaround doesn’t really work.
It still relies on a G29 FFB profile which destroys your FFB with oscillations.
@@liquidsk8s Works perfect for me.
@@AdamsSIMporium it would work far far better with the right profile. Trust me, it’s far from perfect using the G29 profile.
@@liquidsk8s I'm not sure you understand the point of all this. It's for using equipment for which there simply is no profile, equipment that is not compatible with the PS5. This allows you to use it, and these are the profiles you need to use. Is it perfect? No. Is it actually pretty good, allowing you to use otherwise incompatible equipment and have fun? Yes.
Hi ive followed all these instruction and when i go into gt7 on ps5 it doesnt work? Pls help
Hi, In what way doesn't it work, and what wheel are you using? Also confirm the Gimx is on the G27 firmware?
I have micro stuttering with PSVR2 when I use drivehubnow
That's concerning, perhaps some update has caused issues? I will have to try.
@@AdamsSIMporium The pedals are Heusinkvelds Ultimate Plus. With Fanatec without the hub it works perfectly.
So hoverboard diy or any diy sim wheel should theoretically work with this? Can anyone confirm?
Anything should work really
@@AdamsSIMporium perfect. Will try it after I make it compatible with pc 1st! Thanks for the reply!
Does the Ras1ution 2 work with GIMX adapter?
I don't know, but I have just sent them a message asking them if they would be interested in me trying one out...
I've got a VRS DFP would it work with this system as well
As far as I know, yes, because the Gimx will basically take any input and output it as a Logitech wheel.
My base is 20nm . With that system can I play it at a higher strength ffb, or does it feel the same as g29?
@@alimflerendes6955 Yes, go to 7:12 to see that setting. If you leave at 100, you will have the full 20nm. Mine is 28nm so I think I set it to 15 or so.
Hello mate I was wondering if you could help me out, I’ve been using CSL dd, Drivehub/ ps5 for 8 months without a problem and now it doesn’t work. Everything is updated and tried new cables. The hori controller controls ps5 through the hub no problem but nothing on the wheel. My process is plug hori in, then wheel, then usb to ps5, then my wheels display says “USB NOT CONNECTED”
Are you having any issues? I’m wondering if it’s hard wear or soft wear problem. I’m really struggling to find a solution, I’ve tried contacting collective minds but they don’t get back to me
Hi, I'm having no issues. I don't connect things individually though. Wheel and Hori are always connected to Drivehub for me, which is always connected to the PS5.
@@AdamsSIMporium yeah sorry that may have read wrong. It’s normally always connected and has been for months. I’m just talking about recently it’s been playing up so I’ve rewired it and that’s how I do it
@@Readie1 Oh right, sorry no idea why it would just stop suddenly. Hard to troubleshoot the issues too, could be the Drivehub or Hori, or neither... All I can say is maybe contact Drivehub or see if they have forums, which I'm sure you have aleady. Hope you figure it out though.
@@AdamsSIMporium yeah it’s a pain. I’ve tried contacting them and get absolutely no response awful support. I’ve had to order another and try it even though I don’t want to give them more money, it’s that and prey it fixes or fork out for a GT dd pro
done everything but now im getting a error - failed to read packet header from the gimx adapter. Does anyone know what could be causing this
I think I had that before, not sure in the fix, I think just a restart did it. Run gimx launcher as admin if you're not, and of course don't use a USB hub.
@@AdamsSIMporium i deleted the question fight after i figured it out. Now i cant get the drivehub into fanatec mode. just stays at G27.... aghhh
Hello, thank you very much for the tutorial, I'm trying to configure the PS button but I couldn't find it, at minute 19:45 of your video the button options menu appears like mine and doesn't show the PS button, how did you manage to assign it to one button in gimx-config?
Hey sorry not sure what you mean. The time you point to is the end of the video, but I just looked at my GIMX config and I don't have any PS button assigned.
@@AdamsSIMporium Hello again, thank you very much for responding so quickly! Let me try to explain better, for example at minute 5:48 when choosing the type of control, the G27/ PS3 PC is selected, which does not present the PS button option, my question is, how can I activate the control on the PS5 without the PS Button?
Hello again! I managed to connect the Gimx inside the PS5, I thought it was necessary to press the PS button, and it was able to access the menus, but when I try to play the steering wheel doesn't respond, and I noticed that my pedals are being recognized as if they were pressed up to the maximum, well at least I understood how to connect the steering wheel, thanks again for the tutorial!
@@AlexandreMonteiroSilvawell you're getting closer lol, what wheel and pedals?
Is a DIY FFB Wheel project based on STM32 controller board and a hoverboard BLDC motor, a steering wheel rim that I made myself, using a zero delay board and a DIY pedals with Leobonar load cell board.@@AdamsSIMporium
So you need to launch it on pc every time before playing on ps5?
Only "gimx-launcher" yes, but you just run it and click start. Once you have set it up the first time, you can have it running in 2 seconds from then on.
How do you even get a GIMX device?
Good timing, check the comment from Michael :)
There is no comment @@AdamsSIMporium
@@TheD9000 Oh yeah, there was before. Someone called Michael said he was making and selling them on eBay.
Hi, yes they are on ebay and etsy. TH-cam might have deleted my comment for VERY strict anti-spam even though I'm an active and legit TH-cam user. Heck, even THIS comment might get deleted!!
@@MichaelButlerC Found yours on ETSY, not on eBay though. I will add the link :)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Would this work with Xbox as well?
I would it expect it too yes, and without the Hori controller. If your wheel is listed on the Drivehub site as compatible, you only need the Drivehub. If not, you need a GIMX too, but the Hori controller is only needed for PS5.
Where can i buy a gimx adapter?
Hi, sorry for the very late reply, but it seems the only place to get one now is from Etsy... www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1544756349/gimx-usb-adapter-compact-version-for-ps4
i don't know why I can't use fanatec mode I followed your steps but it still doesn't work.
I figured it out, the DriveHub still shows the G27 mode, but the game is Fanatec Mode! thanks for your video!!!
I've got a new problem now, I don't know why I can't use reverse and no neutral in the game
@@finnchen0111 That's odd. Tried making a new config? What shifter is it?
@@AdamsSIMporium I had, and Shift made by SimJack
@@finnchen0111 Not sure about reverse, but you shouldn't need to set a neutral. It should just go in to neutral when not in a gear when using h shifter, like any PC sim really.
do you need to be in remote play
No, not at all.
how would you do all these settings on your computer if this is connected directly to the PS5 as opposed to connected to computer for remote play?
cheers
Setup up the config and run launch with PC, and can remote play on PC. The wheel controls the PS5. Remote Play can be played using any controller like normal, so the connected works.
