In the video, Will demonstrates how to configure non-standard racing peripherals for Forza Horizon 5 using third-party software tools, vJoy and Forza EmuWheel. He starts by addressing the hardware limitations beyond well-known brands like Fanatec, Thrustmaster, and Logitech. Will details the steps to download, install, and configure these tools, emphasizing the need to reboot the PC due to vJoy’s device drivers. He then walks viewers through enabling axes, feedback effects, and button configurations in vJoy, specific to a Simicube 2 Ultimate base, and setting up game controls using the Forza Emu Wheel configurator. The process includes saving configurations as JSON files and addressing device conflicts by muting hardware with hush.exe. Will highlights the importance of precise vJoy settings to avoid errors and fine-tuning force feedback settings. He concludes by recommending starting with the "ascetic corset profile" in the Sim Cube True Drive app, inviting feedback from viewers about their hardware setups, and encouraging engagement through likes and subscriptions.
