[p][/p][p]Note: Is my old PC, PS3, or Xbox One racing wheel model compatible with TDUSC?[/p][p]Some older Logitech, Thrustmaster, or Fanatec models are no longer supported by the SDK provided to us each year by the technical support teams of racing wheel manufacturers. If you encounter problems with models dating back to the PS3-Xbox One era or earlier, please use the following solution:[/p]

• [p]Go to UserSettings.cfg located in C:\\Users\\YourUserName\\Documents\\My Games\\Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown and set Engine.Input.EnableNaconSDK = true; to false.[/p][p][/p]

[p]This will allow your machine to enable DirectInput, the standardized API that will ensure the most basic controls of your steering wheel work.[/p]

• [p]Also, make sure you have installed the software provided by the manufacturers (Logitech G Hub; Fanatec Driver; Thrustmaster Drive; Moza Pit House, etc.) in order to configure your settings and update the steering wheel's firmware and drivers.[/p][p][/p]

[p]Example: the Logitech G27 is no longer supported by the Logitech SDK and now uses the DirectInput system for basic commands, but you can continue to use Logitech G Hub to configure your settings.[/p][p][/p][p]Let us know if you have any further issues with your wheel after this update![/p][p][/p][h2]🖥️ PC[/h2]

• [p]Enabled multiple controllers at the same time.[/p]
