hid-fanatecff VS new-lg4ff

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.

I found that the above comes in two variants, PS/PC and XBOX/PC. While the former is currently supported via an external driver (new-lg4ff), the latter has native kernel support. While I do expect to have a smoother experience with the native module, the custom driver claims to have a richer feature set than the native hid-logitech module (differences).

Go to the game settings and adjust the FF levels. (Except if you're on Linux, you'll also need the experimental kernel module, as the stock one has only rudimentary FF support).

The people Behind the logitech driver new-lg4ff most logitech wheels work fantastic now.

On Linux there's libratbag/Piper for keyboards and mice and new-lg4ff/Oversteer for steering wheels, if you want to take a look at how they do some things or straight up just fork them and port to Windows.

You want this for your G29 if you haven't already installed it. I will admit that sim racing is a blind spot in Proton's support, but this should at least fix some of the wheel-related problems.

In my opinion the best (community) support at the moment is from Logitech. I have one and it works very well with the new-lg4ff driver. I know the creator, u/berarma, and I know that the support is active. If you need an opinion on models, the G27 (second hand) or the G29 work great on Linux with new-lg4ff.
