Force feedback missing?
FH6 supports multiple USB devices on PC, but force feedback goes to Device 1. Connect the wheelbase directly and avoid USB hubs.

Best Wheel Settings Forza Horizon 6
Forza Support recommends starting with default game and wheel software settings, then tuning one slider at a time. Use this baseline as a safe first setup.
Keep Steering Linearity at 50 for a linear steering map. Do not raise Force Feedback Scale too far because FH6 can clip forces, making the wheel heavier but less detailed. For Logitech G29 and G920, turn Wheel Damper and Center Spring down if more tire detail is needed.
