Adding Logitech G920 support to DiRT 3 Complete Edition

This blog post describes how you can add support for the Logitech G920 controller to DiRT 3 Complete edition.

Adding support for the Logitech G920

First find your installation folder. This will typically be located at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DiRT 3 Complete Edition\

All the files you need to edit will be under this directory.

Adding in the action map

Go to the actionmap directory then copy lg_g27.xml to lg_g920.xml.

Edit this newly copied file and find the line:

<ActionMap actionMapName="lg_g27" deviceName="Logitech G27 Racing Wheel USB" priority="3">

Replace this with:

<ActionMap actionMapName="lg_g920" deviceName="Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel USB" priority="3">

Updating the action map path

Open and edit actionmap/actionMapPaths.xml

Fine the following line, copy it, then edit it:

<xmlreader processor="ActionMap2" filename="actionmap/lg_g27.xml" map="UPDATE" pool="UPDATE_TEMPORARY" />

Make the new copied line look as below:

<xmlreader processor="ActionMap2" filename="actionmap/lg_g920.xml" map="UPDATE" pool="UPDATE_TEMPORARY" />

Add the force feedback settings

Then finally edit forcefeedback\devicesetup.xml

Find the following line, copy it, then edit it:

<FFBDevice name="Logitech G27 Racing Wheel USB" scaleForce="1.0" scaleFriction="1.0" baseFriction="0.0" maxFriction="100.0" scaleEffects="1.0" delay="0.0"/>

Make the copied line look as below

<FFBDevice name="Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel USB" scaleForce="1.0" scaleFriction="1.0" baseFriction="0.0" maxFriction="100.0" scaleEffects="1.0" delay="0.0"/>

Summary

Once these files are edited you should then be able to launch the game and use the controller. You will need to go into the settings and configure each button on the controller to be used with the game. This can be done by just mapping each button to an appropriate action on the controller.
