There was a project, ff-memless-next, to add this effects to the driver on G29, G27 or DFGT. In this Project was involved Simon Wood, the same person that include the ffb support for logitech wheels in kernel, and one of the original devs of the Simracing Open Source game Speed Dreams . This Project seems to be neglected unfortunately :

I hope in a close future someone will retake it and finish this work.

I don't know if this project by Edwin is the same project or another different thing:

Quoting: 1xokOne of my Linux kids has a G29. The device works perfectly under Linux. But with the Euro Truck Simulator the Force Feedback doesn't work. FFB works in Dirt Rally and F1 2017.

Can anyone give me some advice here? The child plays under Xubuntu (18.4 "Bionic Beaver").

Quoting: Frawo
Quoting: PatolaAny one else would like to tell their experience with logitech wheels on Linux?
I got a G920 today and I'm surprised that it works out of the box in ETS 2, including force feedback. Steam does not detect the wheel as a controller, but so ETS 2 does. Unfortunately, as Steam is not detecting it (maybe some settings are wrong), I had to map everything on my own and could not use a controller profile like with my XBox One controller.

Havn't had the time to test other Games, but I'm really pleased how well it works in ETS 2!
G920 works out of the box with ETS2, for DFGT, G27 or G29 don't work if you don't use a plugin.

Is good to see these Open Source projects progress. As a racing-sim games fan, I appreciate a lot this two applications, and I use it often. I would like to thank to @OdinTdh and @berarma for their efforts.
Cheers!!!

Quoting: liamdawe... that video has some serious corruption issues.
I had problems capturing the game window with OBS (dark video and strange colors). Streaming the entire screen I've had flicker problems in the video, but during the gameplay there is nothing unusual.

"Considering it costs less than five pounds though, don't go expecting too much from it."
The game is worth a lot more than it costs. I can tell you that for that price is a gift, and the support of the developer is constant and very good.

in-race UI looks pretty terrible
This issue has already been corrected. What you can see in the video is no longer what you currently have in the game. Take a look to this video to compare:
