CONFIGURE YOUR STEERING WHEEL & PEDALS

RealDrive supports customer-supplied steering wheels, pedals, shifters, and other USB driving controls.

Before configuring controls

Confirm:

☐ RealDrive launches successfully
☐ Your wheel appears in Windows USB controllers
☐ Steering moves in Windows test screen
☐ Pedals respond in Windows test screen

If Windows cannot detect your hardware, RealDrive cannot configure it.

VR Motion software is designed for USB-compatible steering wheels and pedals. Hardware functionality depends on the manufacturer’s drivers and Windows compatibility.

Estimated Setup Time: 10–15 minutes
Configure your steering wheel, pedals, and shifter before starting RealDrive training.

Follow these steps to connect, test, and customize your driving controls.
