Steam Vr Wheel Versions Save

Steering wheel and joystick emulation using steamVR

2.5.4a

3 years ago

notice

I've got a wheel and hotas recently, and haven't had much time to work on this anyway. It will continue to work thanks to SteamVR good backward compatability, but don't expect any further updates. If anyone wants to fork and keep developing maintaining this app, they are free to do so under MIT licence.

Changes:

  • fix for initial joystick position - in the last version was way beyond the lower right quadrant, annoying, fix was easy but I kept delaying it, sorry
  • increased joystick sensitivity, because previous was only feasible with DCS World configurator, Il-2 and ED couldn't use it properly.
  • incorporated configuration enhancement from https://github.com/Meatplay - more configurable stuff!

Important:

The strength of the grip required to hold wheel can be changed: Run steam-vr-wheel. image

Find python: image Edit it's binding and there look for GRIP: image Click on the pen and then on a cog, and then change "Generate click from". image Force - is harder, pull is lighter. Sliders provide more sensitivity settings.

You should also be able to see shared "Stoneface's" binding which does that and also rebinds A button from Grip to be actually A button - gives you more buttons in virtual joystick. image

Have fun!

Installing:

Install vjoy:

Download steam-vr-wheel-2.5.4a.zip, unpack.

Run .bat file, of the mode you want to use, this will feed first vjoy virtual gamepad. Have FUN!

xchecksum, made an autohotkey script which turns on and turns off steam vr wheel when it detects DCS world, IL-2 or X-Plane running. The script should be easy to understand and adapt to your needs. https://gist.github.com/xhecksum/d1da8e1db5f927c79a6e5f58801f6691

Starting to build visual car cockpit

  • Added virtual hands! image

  • Right gamepad now vibrates at start a few times

  • Added visual wheel overlay (no hands yet), possibility to let go of the wheel (pretty neat heuristics I mights say - you can drive one handed or two handed - proximity autograb)

  • Layout editor mode (can be enabled in configureator) - when it's enabled right trigger moves the wheel to the position of the right controller, wheel size is determined by second controller position).

  • Wheel has inertia and centring force when not grabbed

  • Plan to add Dirt Rally telemetry for dynamic wheel re-centering speed (faster you go - faster it recenters).

  • Plan to add more car cockpit elements (lights, turn lights, honking, manual gearbox and handbrake) as interactable overlays.

Installing:

Install vjoy http://vjoystick.sourceforge.net/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/vjoystick/files/Beta%202.x/2.1.8.38-190417/ Add 1 (first) virtual gamepad with 32 buttons and EVERY axis enabled using this: http://vjoystick.sourceforge.net/site/index.php/utilities-218/vjoyconf image

Download steam-vr-wheel-2.5.3.zip, unpack.

Run .bat file, of the mode you want to use, this will use first vjoy virtual gamepad. Have FUN!
