Remarks

The GameInputForceFeedbackMotorInfo structure is a member of GameInputDeviceInfo. It defines the information about a force-feedback motor and uses a pointer to the GameInputFeedbackAxes enumeration.

On modern devices, force feedback is typically used on racing wheels with one single-axis motor connected to the steering wheel itself. However, the GameInput API supports devices with any number of force-feedback motors and assigns a unique index number to each motor on a device. The "normal" axis is used for special cases where the applied force is dimensionless, such as a pressure suit for a flight simulator.
