These are now discontinued, but you can find them on ebay for anywhere from $50-$100.Ģ.
If using Lion, you must install the Logitech FFB kext to get FFB to work. But this the lower end wheel model from Logitech and does not have the best FFB. Logitech Momo racing wheel (black) - Works perfectly! All the buttons on the wheel along with the sequential shifter are beautiful. Wheels WITH FORCE FEEDBACK (must install FFB kext if using 10.7)ġ.
I have instructions on how to do this on my site HERE. You will have to re-install the kext to get the Logitech wheels to use Force Feedback. VERY IMPORTANT: Force Feedback has been left out of Lion for some reason. Here is a list of the wheels and the results on the Mac side that I have tested. One of my favorite subjects! I am the developer of the Mac App Store game, Auto Sport Driving and I have tested quite a few wheels in OSX Snow Leopard and Lion. Auto Sport Driving (I am the developer of this game so I really like this one! )Īs far as wheels go. There are others that I have not listed.Ģ. These are just some more modern racing games that run on intel based Macs that utilize steering wheel support. That is just the sad truth that us Mac users have to face. In other words, it isn't worth it to shell out the cash for a wheel if you're going to use it on a Mac. In my opinion, Mac gaming hasn't come far enough yet to host a realistic racing sim.You still, as unfortunate as it may be, have to either go the console or Windows route. Your other option would be to buy a Windows based machine with better internals, buy a wheel, and then then purchase something like rfactor. Your best option would be to go pick up a Playstation 3, or an XBOX 360, buy Gran Turismo or Forza(whichever console you bought), and then buy one of the cheaper logitech wheels. The best solution to your question would be that there are no really good simulation racing games for the Mac. As for those wheels, they're all pretty good(MInus the Ferrari wheel. And I also would think that the experience on that graphics card would be very sub par.
When support for these features is added we will update the game to include them.ĭirt 2, while a good game, is nothing close to a simulator unfortunately.
Please note that additional features of some wheels, such as 900 degree steering, force feedback and H-gate shift support may not be supported on the Mac due to lack of driver support in OS X. Continue to do this for all control assignments. After starting the game with the wheel connected, go to Outside → Options → Controls and then press Enter (↵) on the first control assignment (steer left) to calibrate. Once in the game you will be able to calibrate the wheel (even though Choose Preset says 'Keyboard'). It is important that the wheel is connected and switched on before launching the game, otherwise it will not be recognised. You should note that no steering wheel is calibrated by default, so it will require you to manually assign steering controls in the game. The steering wheels that have been verified to work in DiRT 2 are: From the Dirt2 website regarding the Mac version: It looks promising! I also saw in App Store comments that you can dial down the graphics to run the game on older graphics cards, though no idea if I can dial it down enough to work on the 8600 GT-M.ĭiRT 2 supports all standard USB wheels, which means that most modern wheels will work with the game.
