Virtual Wheel

Virtual Wheel transforms your Android device into an efficient wireless steering wheel for your PC, offering an immersive experience for racing and driving game enthusiasts. By effortlessly connecting your phone or tablet to a computer, you can enjoy a new level of control over your favorite games. An accelerometer is required on your Android device to harness the app's full potential, and both devices need to be connected to the same network.

Compatibility and Setup

The Virtual Wheel app is compatible with older Windows models, such as Windows 7, Vista, and XP, and there is planned support for Mac OS X. However, it doesn't currently support Windows 8. Setup involves installing a PC client, connecting your device via a shared network, and configuring the IP address and port settings as displayed in the PC client. Bluetooth connectivity is another feature expected to enhance your gameplay soon, adding to the app’s flexibility.

Performance with Popular Games

Virtual Wheel has been tested with popular racing games like Live for Speed, NetKar Pro, F1 2012, Simraceway, and various Need for Speed titles. The app is designed to work seamlessly with games that recognize steering wheel or analog input, extending its utility across a wide array of driving simulations.

Advanced Features

Providing customizable control layouts and calibration, Virtual Wheel ensures a tailored gaming experience. It incorporates advanced features like variable throttle and brake control, as well as steering animations, for more realistic gameplay. Although it remains in beta, which may present some inconsistencies across devices, its innovative approach offers a dynamic and enjoyable enhancement for gaming sessions.
