I have gaming accessory cannot be used with steering wheel

#1 Post by ChristopherCanfield » 29 Jul 2014 19:27

I have a gaming accessory that I am unable to use with my steering wheel while playing this game.

The gaming accessory I am talking about is: “TH 8RS”, (my USB gear shifter),
when used with my steering wheel, which is: “Ferrari GT Experience Racing Wheel”.

This game seems to only recognize one input controller device & as a result, both the wheel & the gear shifter, both plugged into a separate USB jack @ the same time will N O T work.

Any comments or suggestions on this issue would be most helpful.

It's a common thing for older games, also having different parts can be a problem for some newer games as well. It's better to have a single "combo" (wheel + shifter + pedals as one package (for example Logitech wheel with all the accessories)). But maybe someone have had this problem and solved it?

Virtual Joystick, so you can merge your devices into one device that is seen as the "standard" device in Windows.
