How to trick GIMX/Drive Hub into Fanatec DD mode?

I´ve been using the GIMX and Drive Hub with GT7 and PS5 successfully for the last 2 weeks with my Simucube 2 Pro DD base and Heusinkveld Pedals. I´m using the G27 Firmware on the GIMX and used the "glitch" holding "options + share" buttons for 10 seconds to trick the Drive Hub from Logitech into Fanatec mode instead of the Logitech mode. So, Gran Turismo is thinking a Fanatec CSL 2.0 is connected. It gets rid of the Logitech centre wobble. The problem is that it´s still a belt driven wheelbase, so GT7 delivers FFB for belt driven wheels to the direct drive wheelbase instead of FFB for DD wheels.

My question is, is it possible to trick the Drive Hub through GIMX into thinking that a DD base is connected? A Fanatec DD1/2/Pro/CSL or even a Logitech Pro.

How is the situation with a Fanatec DD or Logitech Pro firmware for the GIMX? Is someone developing something like that? Is that even possible? Or is it too difficult?

Tricking GIMX or Drive Hub into Fanatec DD mode (Direct Drive mode) is not a straightforward process, as these devices are primarily designed to work with specific gaming peripherals.

Got my Simucube 2 Pro and Heusinkveld pedals working with the Drive Hub and GIMX by spoofing a Fanatec CSL 2.0. This removes the Logitech wobble, but the force feedback feels like it's still designed for a belt-driven wheel. Anyone know if it's possible to trick the Drive Hub into thinking it's a direct drive base, maybe a Fanatec DD1 or Logitech Pro? Perhaps something similar to the thrill found in Slope, where you're constantly adapting to the terrain.

Emulating a DD base like a Fanatec DD1/DD2, CSL DD, or Logitech Pro is theoretically possible with GIMX, as it involves spoofing the USB protocol of those wheels, and the Drive Hub already supports them in Fanatec mode.
