    Until March of this year I mostly used a belt driven wheel (CSW V 1.5 and V2) I now own a OSW Direct drive wheel and really happy with my purchase. My question ,what is needed for a particular sim game to be able to communicate with a OSW D.D wheels ? The game in question is the Forza 7 demo . I am able to create a input profile and all my settings work as it should (steering/pedals/shifting and buttons on my wheel ) . The only thing that doesn't work is actual FFB effects thru the wheel no effects at all.. Is this a game issue or a Granity or MMOS issue. I have read in different forums that some of the wheels that have preset in game are also having some FFB issues. Thank you .

    Hi Artistichalo, not sure if this helps; but I tried the demo last night with CSR and had a good response to FFB, strong and precise.

    MS were saying you can connect just about anything! but I don't know if they meant premium wheels though?

    Hope you find a solution.

    Regards Jerry.

    The FFB for OSW wheel is not working in Forza 7 because some stuff are broken in Windows 10 current build. You need to download latest Windows 10 Insider update / build to have FFB working with OSW wheel.

    Or wait till October 17th when this update will be released as public Win10 update.

    I wonder if this is what is keeping me from getting any FFB from Project Cars 2......

    Would you happen to know what the latest version number is?
