VDrift is using SDL2 haptics functionality to implement force feedback.
Start up VDrift. The console will print whether or not force feedback initialization succeeded. Start a practice game. You should feel a force effect on your steering wheel based on the aligning moment force from the front tires.
Force feedback requirements on Linux (obsolete)
- a steering wheel supporting constant force effects (like a Logitech Momo Racing force feedback steering wheel)
- HID_FF is enabled in your kernel
- your device's USB ID is in kernel-source/drivers/usb/input/hid-ff.c
- the ff-utils test program ffcfstress works for you. Note the device name you use with this program (should be /dev/input/eventX).
- write permission to /dev/input/eventX
- VDrift SVN r1547 or later
If you need to recompile your kernel to enable force feedback, you can have a look here Enabling force feedback in kernel
