How can I use DirectInput Force Feedback in steering wheels?

I want to support more than just Logitech steering wheels (which have a Unity plugin); I want to support "pro" steering wheels like Fanatec's ClubSport and others, so I need full DirectInput ForceFeedback. It seems that Unity doesn't have direct support for that, is there a way to embed DirectInput calls into Unity or something? Any good plugins out there for it?

 

This was almost one year ago, had someone found a solution ?

 

My company is using Vehicle Physics Pro, which includes a simple DirectInput wrapper DLL, which we use for Force Feedback. It’s not ideal, but it works, we’ve used it on three different steering wheels from different manufacturers. I’ve also heard that the Logitech SDK on the AssetStore works for different wheels since it also acts as a DirectInput wrapper, though there was some problem with that that caused VPP to use something else.

 

Interestingly I went saw on the Fanatec website that they have an SDK but state that you do not have to use it to
program for their wheels, only be able to use DirectInput to control it. My question would be how do you implement DirectInput with Unity as DirectInput is c++ and Unity uses C#.

 

You create a native plug-in: https://www.alanzucconi.com/2015/10/11/how-to-write-native-plugins-for-unity/

 

Probably this is what they did here: https://github.com/MrTimcakes/Unity-DirectInput
