Hi,

I wanted to know if some interface to detect motions is present in AirSim? Which could be then fed to a motion platform like D-Box? Also if AirSim supports Forcefeedback system in steering wheel as well?So that we could have a real feel while driving a car?

Regards, Haider

One of the contributor had submitted force feedback code for DirectX. see PawnSimApi::setRCForceFeedback() in https://github.com/Microsoft/AirSim/blob/master/Unreal/Plugins/AirSim/Source/PawnSimApi.cpp#L210

If D-Box etc are available through DirectX Joystick interface then you might be able to use it. Please feel free to contribute :).

@sytelus I am using G920 logitech wheel and want to use it with the city map. Will I get the rumble on the wheel by just adding the force-feedback part in the PawnSimApi or do we need to do some additional settings?
