OpenSceneGraph VS hid-fanatecff

I started in 2001 with OpenSceneGraph which made extensive use of intrusive pointers. This was 10 years before C++11 note. That codebase continues to be relevant and as performing as ever.

browse github and try to contribute. I started with OpenSceneGraph

I have been using OpenSceneGraph for over 20 years. It is used in the military a lot and I myself have seen it used to simulate war scenarios with realtime data aboard of a command-and-control center of a battleship.

Does http://www.openscenegraph.org/ fit?

Speed Dreams: It is a fork of TORCS, and was born as the need to include many more functions to the latter. In Speed Dreams the menus would be completely redesigned, adding many more options and making them much more intuitive; the game acquired dynamic time, improvements in reflections, career mode, a new simulation mode and multi threading. Over time many more options were implemented, such as local multiplayer mode, Force Feedback, and of course more and better cars and tracks, a new and more powerfull graphic engine (OpenSceneGraph) among other things, making it a much more complete game than its predecessor. They recently they have presented version 2.2.3. You can also install it in AppImage and Flatpak format.

Here is an example: https://github.com/openscenegraph/OpenSceneGraph/blob/master/examples/osgsimplegl3/osgsimplegl3.cpp

openscenegraph (mainly focuses on graphics, used by openmw for example)

Is not little, is very complex open source racing simulator. There are a lot of cars, categories, tracks. The physics has a lot of work . About the graphics, the devs are working on change the graphic engine to OpenSceneGraph, that actually works, but needs much more polishing. You can see his quality on this video: https://youtu.be/4daTgcxEWRg

I love Godot for a complete game engine. For just the renderer you could consider http://www.openscenegraph.org

But... sim racing is an exception. Most of the games will work (though not iRacing), but support for the hardware is not there. If you google around, you'll find a lot of projects like this one), that are clearly of the "well, if you compile this thing, and you tweak a bunch of configs, maybe it'll mostly work in some games most of the time, if you're lucky" variety.

- Installed hid-fanatec to get it working with FFB (https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff)

The fanatec wheel should be supported by this HID driver, but I have not tested it out. And the Rift S is just a no go.

Yep oversteer in combo with the hid-famatefff driver is likey the best bet.

there's oversteer: https://github.com/berarma/oversteer which says it works with your wheel once you also add this module: https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff

Fanatec Wheels, Probably the biggest update in 2021 we had, there is now a community driver on Github https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff That has the elite and sport working and appears to be experimental with the DD setups. I do not have a fantec wheel to test this.

The CSL DD has experimental support with this driver https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff

I'm using the CSL: DD, Logitech shifter and clubsport v2 pedals, there is support at the moment for the CSL DD https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff but it's experimental and some games don't work right now like the f1 games and beamng and I use simhub for my dashes which isn't on linux. so sadly there isn't much for linux options in my case.

Not completely true. There exists a driver for Thrustmaster T300: https://github.com/Kimplul/hid-tmff2 Other wheels I also have seen supported are some fanatec wheels: https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff

If your wheel pedal and shifter is of the Fanatec kind, there is a driver on github.
