Operating the launch control system:
The maximum value of the left clutch paddle can be adjusted with the
respective thumb knob. Therefore, if the clutch knob is set in the middle of
its travel, when fully depressing the left clutch paddle, its value will go from
the minimum to the value set by the clutch knob, which is middle in this
example. The right paddle always works in a range from min to max travel,
no matter how the clutch knob is set. This system allows the user to mimic
the launch control system used in F1 cars until 2015, where it was possible to
set the clutch bite point.
Finding the correct clutch knob setting:
In a practice session, set the clutch knob at around 50% of its travel, fully
depress both clutch paddles, engage first gear, reach the optimal engine
RPM, release the right clutch paddle. As the car starts gaining speed,
release the left clutch paddle and shift gears as normal. If you notice that
the clutch starts slipping too much, you will need to decrease the left clutch
paddle max value by turning downwards the clutch knob. If you notice that
the engine drops quickly in RPM, then you will need to increase the clutch
slippage by turning the clutch knob downwards.
This value is typically different for each car.

USB CONNECTION
Connect the steering wheel by only using the provided cable.
Please note that the wheel connector it’s keyed as the picture below, so it
fits only one way.
Once the plug it’s correctly seated into the body receptacle, secure it by
turning the retaining ring as bottom right picture.
IMPORTANT: do not over-tighten the ring. Just screw it completely until
it stops rotating, do not apply excessive force.

CONNECTING THE WHEEL
Each GT-X steering wheel is provided with a dedicated Y style splitter USB
extension cord.
User must use this cable to connect the GT-X wheel to your pc, otherwise if
plugged directly to a standard front/back panel USB port it might not work
as expected due to the port not being able to supply enough power.
Just plug the two USB-A plugs into your PC, preferably the back panel ones,
and connect the coiled cable to the USB-A female connector.
Please avoid any additional extension cords, supplied coiled cable must
connect directly to the supplied USB splitter.

BEFORE FIRST USE
The Formula CSX steering wheel needs the Ultimate Game Tech (UGT)
software to display data streamed from the simulator. It’s also a needed tool
useful to customize and configure various options.
It can be downloaded from ultimategametech.com
On the same website, there is a quick introduction on the Layout Generator,
and a useful general guide on the UGT software.

Adjusting shift paddles activation point
Introduction:
Although all the racing wheels are already tested and should work correctly
straight out the box, you might need to adjust the shifter sensor activation
point for a correct use on your setup. If the paddles are already set
correctly, you may skip these steps.
This is a pretty simple
procedure and no
additional tools are
needed
Wait for the software to
correctly recognize the
wheel, then it should
load up as the picture
on the right.
Please note that FW
and SW version might
differ from yours.
Click on “Input devices”
on top, and then “Cube
Controls GT-X”.
A new window with all
the available buttons
and sliders.

10
On the left side of the new window
as highlighted in the next screen-
shot there is the setting you need to
adjust, “Digital Switch Point”.
Usually the ideal value is 50, and all
GT-X steering wheels are factory
programmed with such a value.
If for some reason you are
experiencing the shifter button not
being recognized properly you must
lower the value.
Alternatively if the shifter button
is detected as always pressed, you
must increase the value.
It’s best to do this increasing/
decreasing at around 5 steps at a
time and then test if the shifter is
working correctly.
Once the correct value has been
found, hit “Save Settings” at the
bottom of the window.

WHEEL INSTALLATION
Our universal hub on the back of the wheel body allows the user to install
various adapter, or even connect it directly to your FFB base.
Highlighted in blue the M5x0.8 metric holes. In gray, 5,5mm through holes.
Both of them are available in 70mm or 50.8mm bolt pattern.

useful to install them as your liking.
Before applying the sticker make sure the surface it’s clean.
Black and white long labels are designed to be placed over

Try to install the USB coiled cable by wrapping it loosely on your FFB motor
shaft/adapter in such a way that it will not suffer any strain even when doing
full opposite steering rotations. Make sure your rig is grounded correctly.

Each wheel comes with an auxiliary USB connector that comes out from the
main hub. This will be used with our Cube Controls quick release kit.
