Inline comments:
In `@README.md`:
- Around line 65-66: Update the README sentence describing steering to remove
the claim that it uses the wheel’s whole rotation; describe it as steering taken
from the wheel axis with configurable sensitivity, keeping the surrounding
force-feedback and pedal behavior unchanged.
In `@runtime/src/controller_mapping_wizard.cpp`:
- Around line 234-238: Update the g_builtinMappedGuids branch in the
candidate-building logic to match the intended behavior: exclude built-in mapped
devices from setup candidates by continuing without candidates.push_back, or, if
overrides are required, place them in a list and UI section that does not label
them unrecognized. Keep DrawSetupList’s messaging accurate for all displayed
devices.
- Around line 418-420: Update the baselinePending handling around SnapshotAxes
so the baseline is refreshed while axis events are consumed, but
SDL_EVENT_JOYSTICK_BUTTON_DOWN and SDL_EVENT_JOYSTICK_HAT_MOTION continue
through normal processing instead of being discarded.
In `@runtime/src/settings_overlay.cpp`:
- Around line 507-530: Update the pedalCombo candidate mapping so “Detected
automatically” remains -1 while manual options include axes 0 through 7. Move
the Accelerator and Brake pedalCombo calls outside the ffbEnabled conditional,
keeping them available regardless of force-feedback state while preserving their
existing RuntimeConfigFile updates.
In `@runtime/src/wheel_ffb.cpp`:
- Around line 288-290: Restrict the FfbForceWheel() override in IsWheelInstance
so it does not classify every connected device as a wheel; apply it only to the
intended unrecognized wheel instance, such as one for which SDL_IsGamepad is
false, while preserving normal gamepad behavior on other ports.
- Around line 212-216: Update CloseSession to restore the port’s stickDeadZone
from kWheelStickDeadZone to kAuroraStickDeadZone when the session ends, using
PADGetDeadZones(port) and guarding against a null result. Preserve unrelated
session-close behavior.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Restore the port dead zone when the session closes.
OpenSession lowers stickDeadZone from kAuroraStickDeadZone to kWheelStickDeadZone. CloseSession (Lines 161-175) does not restore it. After the wheel is unplugged, or after force feedback is turned off, the port keeps a 600 dead zone. A gamepad later assigned to that port then reports stick drift for the rest of the process.

Before i can merge this i would need a thirdparty account of this working and not interfearing with the main controller stuff. I cant test this due to not owning a racing wheel. also look at the conflicts + coderabbit comments |
sounds good |
|
I have a Wii Logitech Force Feedback Wireless, is there a prebuilt binary I can test? |
|
give me a few hours and I can have a custom build up and running with the aforementioned fixes. |

quick note on the size of 0441cbe: it merges 99 existing upstream commits, which accounts for most of the +20,330/-1,472 across 207 files in the first-parent diff. the actual PR against main at 6fa2473 is +1,147/-51 across 9 files. that includes the original wheel feature (+875/-36). comparing against the same upstream merge without the new wheel fixes isolates those fixes at +452/-193 across 7 files. |

adds racing wheel support. a wheel gets recognised on its own, the pedals and
the wheel reach the game properly, and force feedback runs a centering spring
plus vibration off the game's own rumble.
built and tested against a logitech g29 on windows with g hub. the pedals, the
steering and the force feedback have all been driven on that wheel and work.
everything below was tried on it unless it says otherwise.
how it works
a wheel that sdl recognises is treated as a wheel: force feedback, steering
that uses the whole rotation, pedals on a and b. sdl keeps its own wheel list,
about 70 devices across 13 vendors, so this isn't limited to the wheels named
here. it covers the logitech line, thrustmaster, fanatec, moza, simagic,
simucube, asetek, cammus, vrs and pxn.
force_wheel = trueunder[ffb]picksup the ones sdl doesn't know, like mad catz and hori.
logitech driving force wheels also get a full button layout with no setup,
since their layout is known. any other wheel plays right away but takes its
buttons from the set up wizard that's already there, and a mapping you capture
in the wizard always wins over the built-in one.
why the pedals are read in the runtime
sdl's windows backend only reports axis changes, so a pedal you haven't
touched reads as centred instead of released. bind that through sdl as a
button and it reads as held, so both pedals come up stuck down until you press
them. the runtime reads the raw axes instead, with a threshold that's right
whether or not the axis has reported yet.
there's also no convention across brands for which axis is which. the usual
a1 = accelerator, a2 = brakeguess was wrong on all four non-logitechfamilies i checked, and thrustmaster is the exact opposite of it. it isn't even
fixed per model: a g29 only reports that order because g hub is installed, and
the same wheel without the driver puts the clutch on a1. so the pedal axes are
worked out at runtime by watching which axes sit at full deflection. wheels
that put both pedals on one axis work too, and there are accelerator and brake
selectors in the f10 menu if the guess comes out backwards.
layout detection is kept separate from wheel detection on purpose. guessing a
button layout for an unknown wheel is worse than not guessing, because sdl
would then count the wheel as mapped and the set up entry would disappear, so
there'd be no way left to fix it.
steering
steering skips the pad layer's 8000 unit stick dead zone, which was eating
about a quarter of the wheel's travel, and has its own sensitivity setting
(default 350%, adjustable 100-900%). rotation range still belongs in the
wheel's own driver, around 270 degrees suits a kart game.
force feedback
a spring condition effect for the centering and a sine effect for the
vibration, driven by the game's
PADControlMotorrumble commands. no newtelemetry is involved. both effects are reissued every ten seconds, because
directinput drops a playing effect whenever the device gets reacquired, which
is what made the wheel go loose part way through a session.
picking the haptic device needs care: sdl exposes three haptic interfaces for a
g29 and only one of them has a usable force feedback axis, so it's picked by
capability and not by name.
strength, spring, vibration, steering sensitivity and the pedal axes all live
in f10 -> controller settings. they apply as you drag and are saved to
Config.toml.config
new keys, all optional:
[ffb] enabled,strength,spring,vibration,force_wheel[controller] steering_sensitivity,accelerator_axis,brake_axiswhat isn't covered
device list and published layouts, not from testing.
itself, nothing here can fix that.
collision. the game gives rumble on/off and the wheel position, that's it. a
constant force effect drops into the existing session if race state hooks
ever land.
