I know this topic has seen several previous thread postings but they are not all up to date. I also know many will be upset with this question because they think this wheel should be used for hard core true race sims, which I can agree that is where you get the most of your wheel and it is a waste to not play them, BUT it is also a waste in my mind to spend this much money and want to chill and play sim games or do fun arcade games with friends and can’t. So with that said my question as the topic suggests is simply wanting to know how compatible is this wheel honestly with all the arcade style games and games that are not the main true race sims?
I have read that there are work arounds for things like Forza with Emuwheel but at best it seems like sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t for people, I am a huge fan of motorsport so hoping 8 will work but overall what at this time is the current situation with compatibility for games? How many of them are supported and of those that are “supported” do they offer terrible FFB?
I am definitely not expecting great FFB from arcade racers, but at the same time I mean the FFB works but it’s so bad it’s not worth using the wheel still. I have read several posts where for example F1 2020 and 2021 work but are lacking badly. I know this isn’t always (probably mostly) not the issue with the wheel base but the developers of the game.
I ask because I am wanting to make sure before buying this wheel that I’m not going to regret it because it can only be played on true sims and struggles on everything else while most is still incompatible. I am not a tweaker for settings and just want to set it up and work on settings a little and play, issues with constantly not recognizing my wheel would drive me crazy.
One last question also, since I don’t own the wheel, I can’t get the True Drive software to let me view online profiles from the Paddock. So for those who can, how often are profiles being added/updated that are really good? How often are they being added/updated for the not top sim racing games? I just wondered how popular this was and if it could also be a great tool at getting some of the working but lacking games to work great by downloading someone’s settings that actually work because they wanted to put in the hours to tweak it.
