Programming Function
You can play GRAN TURISMO or other racing games with the default button configuration. For games requiring different configurations, you have two options:
- Adjust button configuration within the game's Options/Controllers menu. This allows saving your custom configuration. IMPORTANT: The RACING WHEEL SV 950 is recognized as a "game controller" in game menus. Select "game controller" settings, not "steering wheel" settings.
- Use the "on-the-go" programming function of the RACING WHEEL SV 950. This allows reprogramming buttons without entering game menus, but the configuration is not saved after the console is turned off or the wheel is disconnected.
