How to get ffb with your Codemasters games DiRT Rally 2.0 and DiRT 4 using your simucube osw direct drive?

 

IMPORTANT: don’t trust guys around which give you the wrong information. Double check your device settings and compare with the line below, This is the correct way to declare your DD to be able to choose between Direct Drive driver and DR2.0 FFB settings, With the correct parameters this will greatly improve the FFB in Dirt Rally 2.0 and please add the link to this page which is updated regularly and do not just copy/past these info. Thanks.

 

The current DR2.0 FFB will not give you as much surface information as the DR1.0 but you can play with params to improve it. Beware all grayed settings are in fact perfectly usable. After a lot of game and simucube FFB tweaks, the feeling should be closer to DR1 but more attenuated unfortunately. We are all waiting for an FFB bug fix from Codemasters.

 

MMOS


DiRT 4 and DiRT Rally 2.0 MOD FOR SIMUCUBE MMOS MANAGEMENT

For OSW Simucube users, you have to enter the description of the device manually and create the corresponding generic actionmap file. I posted the instructions in Codemasters forum and here.

ATTENTION: THIS MOD DOESN’T CONTAIN ANY FFB PARAMETERS,
This allows the game to recognize the mmos device as a DD steering wheel only.
