Ps4 Heusinkveld sprint and OSW

JustinSj · Aug 25, 2019

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knows how OSW and Heusinkveld sprints can be connected to the ps4.

At the moment, both myself and a buddy of mine wants to upgrade to those. However, many friends of us play f1 on ps4 which simply gives us all a lot of fun playing together. So it needs to be compatible to the ps4.

Any ideas, or is the best alternative the fanatec podium ps4 with the v3's ?

Thanks, justin.

Check this out. But need to have A pc on the side tho. If you use the ps4 alot maby its easyer with fanatec.

Havent tryed to use the gimx to A ps4 but i use mine to emulate A g27 to play forza horizon 4 with osw and protosimtech pedals.

Yes. Connect wheel and pedals to pc, gimx in to pc on one of the usb's and the other on in to the ps4. If you use it on pc you Connect both usb in the pc

Just a heads up, our products are not supported for PS4/XBox/Nintendo Switch and so on and won't work even with a 3rd party solution such as DriveHub.

Sorry I don't understand. The gimx adapter isn't official support from Heusinkveld (and it is possible to use at my own risk) or does not work at all?

The first part of your question is true, the second part I have no experience with.

I can confirm that it works.

I got t500 (for now) and heusinkvelds connected via a gimx adapter to ps4. Works really well.

Regards,
Justin

Sounds great. And how is your wheel/T500 connected ? To the PC together with the Heusinkveld pedals ? Or the wheel to the PS4 and the pedals to the PC?
What for a simulated device do you have configured on the GIMX-Adapter and the PS4 - Logitech G29 ?

thx
Mario

Everything goes to the pc first. Wheel, PS4 controller (yes is a must) and pedals. From there, via the gimx connector (30 euros on their website) you can link them to your PS4.

Yes emulated as a logitech G29, the instructions on their website are actually really easy to follow.

Please don't forget to install the corresponding driver of your wheel on the PC though. that is a must. This cost me quite some headaches before realizing myself

Anyone knows if this goes for the xbox as well? I have a Gimx but cant get it to work, maybe im doing something wrong?

Why not consider something like the Fanatec DD1 PS4 kit, even includes a nice Formula wheel and provides good value. Its always risky when something is not formally supported due to latency and possible future console OS updates, or even game updates. I have PS4 DD1 and it works awesome for both PC and PS4/PS5.
