<p><strong>NAME</strong></p>
<pre> Steering Wheel SDK
</pre><p><strong>COPYRIGHT</strong></p>
<pre> The Logitech Steering Wheel SDK, including all accompanying
documentation, is protected by intellectual property laws. All
rights not expressly granted by Logitech are reserved.
</pre><p><strong>PURPOSE</strong></p>
<pre> The Steering Wheel SDK is an addition to Microsoft's DirectInput
in DirectX. It is aimed at driving games and enables to
dramatically shorten development time and improve implementation
quality for various types of game controllers (USB/gameport
wheels/joysticks/game pads, FF enabled or not). The Steering Wheel
SDK has been developed and tested for wheels and joysticks using
the Logitech, Microsoft and Immersion drivers. It also works with
Logitech rumble pads (it has not been tested with non-Logitech
rumble pads). By using the Steering Wheel SDK you have the
guarantee that all wheels and joysticks will function
flawlessly. No more situations where force feedback in a game
behaves very differently from one wheel/joystick to another, which
in turn results in user frustration and product returns. The
Steering Wheel SDK comes with a very intuitive and easy to use
interface which enables to read the wheel/joystick's axes and
buttons, and also to create all the force feedback effects that
are necessary for a good and complete implementation. See the
following files to get started:
- readme.txt: tells you how to get started.
- SampleInGameImplementation.cpp: shows line by line how to
use the Steering Wheel SDK's interface to do a complete
implementation for PC game controllers in your driving
game. The idea is to develop support for the steering
wheel. But if a user plugs in a joystick or game pad he can
play as well and get force feedback or rumble. If a joystick
is plugged in, all forces generated by the Steering Wheel
SDK will be played on the X axis and there will be a
constant spring on the Y axis.
- SteeringWheelSDK.cpp: demonstrates force feedback
effects. Just compile, run and plug in a FF wheel, joystick
or rumble pad. See usage at top of SteeringWheelSDK.cpp.
For more details see DirectInput documentation which is part of
Microsoft's DirectX.

<p><strong>NAME</strong></p>
<pre> HRESULT GenerateNonLinearValues(int index, int nonLinCoeff) --
Generate non-linear values for the game controller's axis.
</pre><p><strong>FUNCTION</strong></p>
<pre> Gaming wheels/joysticks/game pads have very different behavior from
real steering wheels. The reason for single-turn wheels is that
they only do up to three quarters of a turn lock to lock, compared
to about 3 turns for a real car.
This directly affects the steering ratio (15:1 to 20:1 for a real
car, but only 4:1 for a gaming wheel!). Joysticks and game pads
have a much shorter range of movement than a real steering wheel as
well.
Because of this very short steering ratio or short range, the
gaming wheel/joystick/game pad will feel highly sensitive which may
make game play very difficult.
Especially it may be difficult to drive in a straight line at speed
(tendency to swerve back and forth).
One way to get around this problem is to use a sensitivity
curve. This is a curve that defines the sensitivity of the game
controller depending on speed. This type of curve is usually used
for game pads to make up for their low physical range. The result
of applying such a curve is that at high speed the car's wheels
will physically turn less than if the car is moving very slowly.
For example the car's wheels may turn 60 degrees lock to lock at
low speed but only 10 degrees lock to lock at higher speeds. If
you calculate the resulting steering ratio for 10 degrees lock to
lock you find that if you use a steering wheel that turns 180
degrees lock to lock the ratio is equal to 180/10 = 18, which
corresponds to a real car's steering ratio.
If the sensitivity curve has been implemented for the
wheel/joystick, adding a non-linear curve probably is not
necessary. But you may find that even after applying a sensitivity
curve, the car still feels a little twitchy on a straight line when
driving fast. This may be because in your game you need more than
10 degrees lock to lock even at high speeds. Or maybe the car is
moving at very high speeds where even a normal steering ratio is
not good enough to eliminate high sensitivity.
The best way at this point is to add a non-linear curve on top of
the sensitivity curve.
The effect of the non-linear curve with positive nonLinCoeff is
that around center position the wheel/joystick will be less
sensitive. Yet at locked position left or right the car's wheels
will turn the same amount of degrees as without the non-linear
response curve. Therefore the car will become more controllable on
a straight line and game-play will be improved.
There can sometimes be cases where the wheel does not feel
sensitive enough. In that case it is possible to add a non-linear
curve with the inverse effect (makes the steering more sensitive
around center position) by using negative values for
nonLinCoeff. This method lets you define a non-linearity
coefficient which will determine how strongly non-linear the curve
will be. When running the method it will generate a mapping table
in the form of an array. For each of the 1024 entries in this array
there will be a corresponding non-linear value which can be used as
the wheel/joystick's axis position instead of the original

offsetPercentage - Specifies the center of the spring force effect.
Valid range is -100 to 100. Specifying 0 centers the spring. Any
values outside this range are silently clamped.
saturationPercentage - Specify the level of saturation of the
spring force effect. The saturation stays constant after a certain
deflection from the center of the spring. It is comparable to a
magnitude. Valid ranges are 0 to 100. Any value higher than 100 is
silently clamped.

the valid range is silently clamped.

<p><strong>NAME</strong></p>
<pre> HRESULT PlayConstantForce(INT index, INT magnitudePercentage) --
Play the constant force.
</pre><p><strong>FUNCTION</strong></p>
<pre> A constant force works best when continuously updated with a value
tied to the physics engine.
Tie the steering wheel/joystick to the car's physics engine via a
vector force. This will create a centering spring effect, a sliding
effect, a feeling for the car's inertia, and depending on the
physics engine it should also give side collisions (wheel/joystick
jerks in the opposite way of the wall the car just touched).
The vector force could for example be calculated from the lateral
force measured at the front tires. This vector force should be 0
when at a stop or driving straight. When driving through a turn or
when driving on a banked surface the vector force should have a
magnitude that grows in a proportional way.
</pre><p><strong>INPUTS</strong></p>
<pre> index - index of the game controller. Index 0 corresponds to the
first wheel/joystick connected. Index 1 to the second
wheel/joystick.
magnitudePercentage - Specifies the magnitude of the constant force
effect. A negative value reverses the direction of the force.
