I am new to steering wheel setups, so yeah I have entry level gear. I love F1 and I bought my wheel solely for F1. To have it work for a few weeks and then lo and behold, they patch it out, is actually quite frustrating and downright disgusting. I think I have every right to want to know if my wheel works before I give them any more of my money. EA seems to have the time to put together all their marketing and constantly tweeting about pre-ordering - so yeah, why so mysterious about this?
As far as I know it was I who threw a "petulant" here in this thread. Sorry for that, caught you by mistake.
My take on this is 100% the same as yours.
It's untasteful to ramp up the marketing and the pre-ordering campaign while holding back on peripherals compatibility.
As I said, it is one thing to hold up on it if it is still up in the air whether a Cube Controls AMG enthusiast wheel or the La Prima Asetek wheelbase will be compatible with the game. It being "up in the air", as in pending confirmation, is a reasonable justification to sit on it. A provisional list with the extensive number of tried and true wheels and wheelbases known to be supported by the current iteration of the engine?
That's inexcusable.
The game is building on the same platform as all the previous entries in this franchise even after the release of the current gen consoles.
The posts verging on petulant I had in mind were the ones looking for the kind of info we only get after the review embargo ends. It's unreasonable to hit on staff asking for how contracts work in career mode when there's a marketing "deep dive" material scheduled for the following days.
Wanting to know if a Logitech wheel will be compatible on release? That's basic and utterly sensible, and EA should be forthcoming with that sort of info.
Last year we at least managed to wrangle such a list 1 day prior to the official release date. That's not enough; EA can and should do better. A provisional list should be that touchy of a subject - specially when I cannot browse social media without being bombarded with a "GET IT NOW" ad.

Hey @EA_Vendcera
Trueforce is a SDK from Logitech with the main purpose of delivering an extra layer of feedback. Haptic feedback on top of the usual FFB we get from the DirectInpit API.
There's a secondary, but arguably even more important usage for it though. Microsoft has a considerably limited API for their consoles, so these wells have limited usability. More often than not, a number of buttons are simply not available for Microsoft players.
Logitech has made it possible for devs to enable those extra buttons (and RPM lights) via the Trueforce SDK.
Their inquiry is a fair one, as you can see. Trueforce support was a nightmare of its own last year, but that's besides the point. It would be greatly appreciated if EA made it clear whether Codies made Trueforce enabled.
It is a SDK. The creator makes it available, and it is up to any dev to make use of it. Users could ask Logitech if they happen to know if Codies implemented those features in F1 24, but it is not up to Logitech. Only Codies/EA can say if Trueforce is available, and the extent of its features - only buttons, buttons and RPM lights, inputs and haptics feedback, only haptics etc etc.
Community ManagerHey @Casual_Gamer9188 and @mariohomoh,
I can confirm that Logitech Trueforce is supported on all platforms!
