OMSI - Logitech Driving Force GT Setup Guide.

## Firstly.. ##

Open Logitech Profiler and make sure the following settings are applied to the wheel




## Next ##

Make sure that the wheel is Active in OMSI by clicking on the steering wheel icon on the toolbar ( Press Tab to view Toolbar )

Then setup OMSI in the following Way.



The ticks in the Rev boxes are important

During the initial setup, the Rev boxes will be unchecked and in game it will appear to be that the pedals are stuck on full acceleration/braking when you aren't pressing down on them.

Check the Rev boxes on the Y Axis ( this is your accelerator pedal so make sure that it is selected as Accelerator )

Check the Rev Box on RZ as shown in the above screenshot, and set this as Brake

If you don't want your wheel to automatically centre itself
Uncheck "Enable Centering Spring in force Feedback Games"

This will make the wheel even closer to real life.

You May Configure the buttons as you see fit.

Alternatively you can download this Config File which has all the button assignments pre-set for you.

*UPDATE*
Setting up D Pad to Use as Camera Controls


Step 1. *taken From PDF*
Use the D-Pad as keystrokes, to move the camera
This is really useful, as it allows for you to quickly toggle between the viewpoints as you are driving, extremely handy if you need to check your mirrors to avoid the parked cars (!)
The way I achieved this was to open the Logitech Profiler.
Then click on POV 1.



Go to Select Assignment and then New POV Assignment....



This window will appear. Enter your chosen name in the field given, and click Edit as shown below....




Yet another window appears.

In this new window, go to New Keystroke....


Yet another window appears. Click Record and press the chosen arrow key. In this case, we will use left.


Press OK, then repeat the process for the right arrow key, and if you wish, the space bar.
Then click OK.



Then, click on W under direction.
Change POV West to Keystroke LEFT, which is what you just recorded.
Do the same for E, but this time assign it to Keystroke RIGHT.
Click OK.

2.) Using the positive and negative buttons as a scroll wheel
This is extremely similar to the above tip, however, this time, we will assign Button 16 to the Page Up key, and Button 19 to the Page Down key. This is as simple as selecting the button in the profiler, and recording a new keystroke, as above.
Doing this allows you to scroll through the manual destinations through your wheel. Effortless!

Many Thanks To Evo for making this small guide on how to add D Pad to OMSI using the DFGT

PDF can also be downloaded HERE for those that want the PDF of this small guide Evo has made.

One Minor Update, for those whose Logitech Profiler shows the option to make a new POV assignment for the D-Pad as Greyed out, You must make a Profile FIRST otherwise you will not be able to create the POV settings as used in the Guide Above

Thank you very much!
I have DFGT, and it'll help me A LOT!

Hi,

Do you know if its possible to use the D-PAD as the Scroll Interior Perspectives functions?

Many thanks for sharing your setup

unfortunately the D pad isnt detected as "buttons" within OMSI so this isnt possible.

In the Logitech profiler you can assign each directional key to a keystroke. I used this to assign the scroll interior perspectives (and the horn ). I use a G27 but it should work as well with the Driving Force GT

Great, evo! It would be good if some moderator include this link on the Steering Wheel sticky topic to help other people in the future.

great stuff mate, I can now remove the "it cant be done" part of my post to reflect this, do you mind if I add the PDF to my original Post?

Feel free gizzy

Updated First post with evo's guide AND a download link to his PDF for those who want it.

Thanks again Evo mate

It's better to set 'progressive' instead of degressive for Rz axis.
The intensity of entire brake pedal is used in this way.

Hello. I have a DFGT and I want to see the PDF. But when I click on the link I get nothing. I hope it can be fixed because I want to play OMSI with this steering wheel

It's right at the bottom of the first post, Evo also linked to it initially

I see it. Thank you. My steering wheel works great now

Hi, I recently purchased this steering wheel and I did manage to sort out most controls except for one. I can't seem to be able to get kickdown working??? Which is annoying because then I can't drive the way I like to drive!

Any help appreciated.

you need to accelerate less with your foot being eased off the pedal, just as it changes into 2nd gear use your iron foot and floor the pedal, it should slam down into 1st again for kickdown.

Even that doesn't work the majority of time! The only way to hold gears in is via using the buttons and manually selecting gears, of course that is a pain on the D92 because it doesn't have any buttons!

Surely there is a way to enable kickdown to happen when you go full throttle on the accelerator? If you push on the pedal to about 90% then go into kickdown, that'd be better. Although I don't use kickdown all the time, it is a pain and is annoying not being able to use it while driving. Is there somebody with good knowledge out there or has one of these that could assist?

Regards,
Mr OC Benz

In your OMSI settings, click on the Game Controllers tab. Select your steering wheel and click Axis on the next row of tabs down (two tabs together, Buttons and Axis). For Throttle, move over to the right and check that the "narrowed" check box is empty. With the throttle in a steering wheel, this effectively switches kickdown on and off.

Hi,

This is what I have set up for my steering wheel. I have muddled around to try other ways but they don't work effectively. The kickdown still doesn't work.

Those settings for your Logitech Driving Force Pro does not work for the Logitech Driving Force GT controller. I've tried the settings that you had.

Oh, you've got the new one? Ah... I see.

Uh yeah I guess so. Hopefully there is a way, otherwise I'll just have to drive without the kickdown.

well for one, You have Y axis set to "accelerator/brake" when Y should be changed to "accelerator" and "Rz" needs to be changed via the dropdown to Brake with the Rev checkbox checked and Set to "Progressive"



Copy them same settings but with Progressive for brake pedal instead of "degressive"
