Oversteer is an application to configure Logitech Wheels.
Features (when supported by the device):
- Change emulation mode.
- Change rotation range.
- Combine accelerator/brakes pedals for games that use just one axis.
- Change autocentering force strength.
- Change force feedback gain.
- Device configuration profiles.
- Fix system permissions to access all device features.
- Overlay window to display/configure range.
- Use wheel buttons to configure range.
Additional features when using new-lg4ff:
- Combine accelerator/clutch pedals (for flight simulators).
- Change global force feedback gain.
- Change each conditional force feedback effect type gain.
- FFBmeter to monitor FFB clipping using wheel leds or overlay window.
This software supports the same wheel models supported by the Logitech Linux driver:
- Driving Force / Formula EX
- Driving Force Pro
- Driving Force GT
- Momo Force
- Momo Racing Force
- Speed Force Wireless
- G25 Racing Wheel
- G27 Racing Wheel
- G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel
- G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel
- Experimental support for the Thrustmaster T300RS wheel when using https://github.com/Kimplul/hid-tmff2.
I can test only on a Logitech G29 Driving Force. Please, report your results with other devices.
Use at your own risk. Suggestions, bugs and pull requests welcome.
There's an AUR package kindly created by DNModder.
Install the Oversteer package.
There's an ebuild created by gripped here
You can install all dependencies on Debian systems with the following command (I'm using the meson package in Buster backports):
apt install python3 python3-gi python3-pyudev python3-xdg python3-evdev gettext meson appstream-util desktop-file-utils
You can install all dependencies on Fedora systems with the following command:
dnf install python3 python3-gobject python3-pyudev python3-pyxdg python3-libevdev gettext meson appstream desktop-file-utils
In other distributions use the available tools to install the packages that will have similar names.
The access to some device features might be restricted by permissions. If that's the case, Oversteer will ask to install a udev rule file for the Logitech wheels that gives permissions to access the device settings to any user.
Build:
meson build
ninja -C build
Trying it without installing:
ninja -C build run
Installing (needs administration rights):
sudo ninja -C build install
Uninstalling (needs administration rights):
sudo ninja -C build uninstall
Oversteer can be launched as any desktop application.
It's also possible to use it from the console. Type oversteer --help to see
the command line help.
You can configure game launchers to run oversteer to load a profile or change settings so that it automatically configures the wheel when the game runs.
@Leillo1975 has kindly created a video explaining the basics of Oversteer (Spanish).
ninja -C build oversteer-pot
ninja -C build oversteer-update-po
We could all greatly benefit from your help as with any other free software project.
Reports about what works and what not on different devices and systems are very welcome. You can also help by contributing specific notes for your distro, or doing the packaging work and everything else.
