This looks like some new features you are working on for the steering wheels, correct? If I may suggest something. For the windows games that do not support steering wheels make a wheel act like an xinput controller then basically any game that supports xbox controllers will work with a wheel too.

Windows support won't be touched until all emulators are dealt with, including model2emu. Windows games are at the bottom of our priorities, but we have few ideas for wheels.
