OSW/Accuforce using a F1 Thrustmaster wheel?

[bootrix2]

Hi,

I've been google searching and found a few threads with no definitive answers. I found racingcoach and have since emailed them a few days ago and awaiting an answer.

What I want to do, is use the Ferrari F1 wheel-addon and mount it to a Accuforce or OSW.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I just made an adapter and a dash for this wheel.
The adapter just cover on the orignal quick release(no need any destruction).use four longer screws to replace the old screws.then install the blue quick release on the adapter for my osw.

That looks really nice. How do I go about getting one? Also how did you get the wheel to work with the osw? Convert it to usb? I can't find any bodnar type cables available.

Thanks, merci! Happy 2018

it is a diy adapter.As I rememer DSD has commercial product for thrustmaster wheel.but no key function and dash. if you also need dash function you may use SLI-F1, or SIM Race F1, or GS-Pro. if you need key function as i known no commercial product exist.you must diy to adapt to bodnar osw.or just make your own button box for this wheel.i(i made a whireless module in this wheel for keys).
Wish this info may help you.
Happy New Year!

All I'd want to do at this point is figure out how to convert the wheel to standalone USB. Sort of like what ricmotech did with the Ferrari alcantra wheel.

Don't think you'll find any plug in adapter. You'd need to open up the wheel, strip out the original PCB and replace with something else e.g. a bodnar button box interface board. I'm currently building my own wheel (with kit from 3drap.it) using one - they support buttons, switches and encoders.

Thanks. After more reading and seeing as racing coach benched their product I gave up. Bought a fanatec rim with bodnar cable. It's already modified and tested with USB conversion. Super simple.

A Arduino could certainly be helpful. It does great in transforming G25|27 Shifter and pedals to standalone devices.

How did you make the adapter to cover up the connector to a thrustmaster base?
