Question About The Fanatec CSW.

thomascats · Jan 20, 2013

Hello,
I want to by the Fanatec CSW Wheel with formula rim in the next three months.
I have a PC, But also a Xbox360, So, the wheel in not compatible with it.
There is any chance that it would work. - I do not care about the display and the leds, just the Axes.

Thanks,
Thomas.

Xbox 360 use a XID interface I believe. and PS3 HID. XID work with more canned ffb effects.
I believe you need a chip to make it compatible and also pay some license fee to Microsoft.

I have no clue about how MS will go about it with the next version. Always a chance until proven otherwise. I am not to impressed with Forza nor GT and I doubt they will ever go for a more hardcore approach so personally I don´t care much about them
