Wingman Formula Force
I have the Wingman Formula Force and not the Wingman Formula Force GP. I don't know the difference between the two. I don't see my wheel in the supported list. Ubuntu detects my wheel: I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c291 Version=0000 N: Name="Logitech WingMan Formula Force" P: Phys= S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-2/1-2.4/1-2.4.4/1-2.4.4.2/1-2.4.4.2:1.0/input/input16 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=event14 js0 B: PROP=0 B: EV=a0000b B: KEY=30000 fc000000000 0 0 0 0 B: ABS=30700 B: FF=31f2f0000 100
When starting Oversteer I receive the message: No device available
What should I do or should I forget using this wheel?
I know nothing about that wheel except that it's very old.
I can add it to Oversteer in case you're interested. Try it first with evtest to check that it can read all the events and see what each event corresponds to in the wheel.
Ok. Since I'm a simple user of Ubuntu, I tried this: Install evtest. Used evtest in terminal for my wheel. It seems that the wheel is detected with all the commands from buttons to brake and gas pedals. I got this report: wingman formula force evtest.docx
Thanks for you time.
Wingman Formula Force is only one year older than Wingman Formula Force GP, the latter adding a few minors changes from what I read.

I see it has only 4 buttons but in your document there are 6 buttons and a d-pad, in addition to the wheel axis, two pedals and the shift paddles.
It seems the d-pad and 2 buttons aren't really used even though they're reported by the device as being in use.
Yes, I have only 4 buttons, wheel axis, two pedals and the shift paddles. So, is it possible to add the Wingman force formula to oversteer? Thanks.
I don't know how it works when you add the wheel to your database.
I plugged the wheel and open Oversteer and I got no device available.
But, the one I have is Logitech Wingman Formula Force, and not, Logitech Wingman Force.
I don't know if it makes a difference.
Wingman Force is with bungee cords, and Wingman Formula Force is built with gears.
Thanks.
I made a mistake in the commit message but all that matters is the USB vendor/product id.
This is the id I've added: 046d:c291
Make sure you install the new version after updating your local directory.
Still not recognised. Since I'm not that familiar playing with files in Ubuntu, I did this: Downloaded new oversteer-master. Replaced local files after unziping oversteer-master. From there, I can see that 046d:c291 is listed in /oversteer « wheel_ids.py » I can see in /oversteer/data/udev « 99-logitech-wheel-perms.rules » that Wingman Formula (Yellow) is put as 046d:c202 but no identification in this file for 046d:c291 Same in /usr/local/lib/udev/rules.d Should I check another file to see if 046d:c291 is present? From which file the wheel is recognised?
Yes, updated wheel_ids.py and I can see in my local file « oversteer » line 27 '046d:c291'
For me works, the only that don't detect correctly are the shift paddles.
But I think we need to configure it inside new-lg4ff, I'm changing and test the kernel module.
Is udev important? Why are there two different udev files? Should I erase one? For vguardiola, did you do something different to have the Wingman Formula Force work?

No, it's my mistake. I'll push a new correction here shortly.

Where are the two different udev files?
I don't think udev is important to your issue. It looks like an installation / code update issue.
I only clone the report and build/install it and oversteer detect well the wheel.

/usr/local/lib/udev/rules.d and in /oversteer/data/udev
I tried to reload udev rules via the terminal as instructed with udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger and I got « Failed to send reload request: Permission denied »

The first one is where it gets installed, the second one I guess it's where you have downloaded the source code.

You need to use sudo or run it as root. Restarting the computer does the same.
I've just pulled your last changes and now the shift paddles are detected
I erased the oversteer file and started again from the beginning by cloning as vguardiola did, and followed the steps. Everything is detected now: All the buttons, shift paddles, steering, pedals, and force feed back. Many thanks for your work.
