Simple SimHub plugin for setting wheel rotation based on ACC car

ACC doesn't have a soft lock option. This plugin allows to use hard lock option with 1:1 steering ratio. The same way Content Manager does that.

Currently it works for:
  • MMOs
  • all SimuCUBEs (1, 2S, 2P, 2U)
  • Thrustmasters (300, 500, TGT, TMX, TSPC, TSXW, TX, F1)
Instalation

Put the plugin in SimHub folder. Enable it in SimHub.

Configuration of your wheel

Set whatever rotation you want, it doesn't matter, it will be changed anyway by the plugin (you won't see the change in the Thrustmaster panel though).

Configuration in ACC

Set the wheel rotation to 0. This means that the car will use 100% available steering lock. And the correct steering lock will be set by the plugin.

WARNING: BMW M2 behaves wrongly when rotation in game is set to 0. Any other low value higher than 0 will do. E.g. 10. You can keep it for all cars. It will still behave properly (any value equal or smaller than 360 will do).

Confirmation that it works?

Check SimHub logs:

INFO AccSteeringLock: Init()
INFO AccSteeringLock: found supported wheel: Simucube 2 Pro
INFO AccSteeringLock: setting rotation of amr_v8_vantage_gt3 to: 640

Works very well. Thank you!
great work!
great stuff
Will it work for fanatec? I used this plugin with my logitech g29 and I was delighted, now with my fanate gran turismo csl dd pro wheel it doesn't work for me, in the simhub log it says "no supported wheel found", a great pity, I miss the plugin :(

It won’t. I’m not aware of anybody who managed to programmatically set fanatec wheel lock. Not that I don't want to support fanatec. It's just that nobody knows how.
Hi in simucube tuedrive I cannot see the entry that the wheel rotation set by software. Any advise?

The paddock version of the software don't show this info anymore.
Can't leave home without it.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. I was about to return my wheel but after running this with a guide linking me to the file here. I've knocked off 2 seconds in lap times since using this. Thank you so much!!!

Worked first time, every time. Does exactly what the tin says. Thank you for this.
Thanks! Does what it says. I use in game steering lock set to 10 to solve the M2 cs issue. Works fine.
Pretty sure this mod is really useful. So I'll give it a good rating. Though it's not working on my TS-PC with the S1000 wheel. The wheel appears as "Thrustmaster Advanced Mode Racer" in the control panel. That must be why...

Great, let's use this opportunity. I'll PM you in a sec.
Thank you for the update, this definitely makes life easier in ACC.

I´ve a T150 and it is not working. Havner already commented a Review, that T150 is not supported in Content Manager. Anyway, it is a very nice tool an seemed to be working with all supported Wheels, so 5 Starts and I will buy a new Wheel ;)
Works exactly as intended. A must have for Thrustmaster users
Excellent plugin for Simhub, thank you for the swift M4 implementation!

You're welcome :-)
Probado y funcionando, de momento solo lo he probado en tres coches pero bloquea a su grado. Una gran aportación.
It seems an awesome Idea, It is too difficult to make it work in the t150?
Havner
Havner
I honestly don't know. I base this implementation on Content Manager. And because T150 is not supported there I can only assume that this wheel does not support such functionality. If so, there is nothing I can do about that.
Works perfectly, thanks very much.
Using it with a Thrustmaster T300 and it works perfect!
Each car has it's own maximum angle of rotation and this plugin applies it on the fly.
No configuration needed, just activate the plugin in SimHub and enjoy!

PS: No need to configure the max rotation angle in the TM ControlPanel. Whether you set it to 360° or 1080° it doesn't matter, the plugin does the job right.
