Xbox FAQs
Find answers to common questions about using MOZA Racing products on Xbox consoles.
How to switch Xbox / PC mode?
Press S1 + S2 buttons on the ESX steering wheel at the same time and hold for 5 seconds. The base will automatically restart and switch to Xbox/PC mode.
- Xbox mode: steering wheel RPM light will turn from the left and right to the center
- PC mode: steering wheel RPM light will show red, yellow and green breathing lights
How to adjust the parameters of the base in Xbox mode?
Download the MOZA Racing app from the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android).
Why are some buttons of the ESX steering wheel invalid in Xbox mode?
This is due to the Xbox Steering Wheel Development Agreement. All buttons on the ESX steering wheel can work normally in PC mode.
Why are some popular racing games not adapted, like ACC and F1 23?
The Xbox console platform should in principle have no adaptation issues between device manufacturers and game manufacturers, since Microsoft sets the standards and both sides design accordingly. However, with F1 23 and ACC, the games first check if the device is on their adaptation list. Devices not on the list will not be plug-and-play. We are working with different game manufacturers to advance Xbox game compatibility.
Are all racing games on Xbox plug and play?
Most of the games listed are plug-and-play and require no additional configuration. A few games may require manual binding of buttons.
Why is there no force feedback when entering the game?
The games listed on the official website all support force feedback. If there is no FFB, the base may have been restarted or lost power during the game, causing it to lose game focus. Switch to the Xbox homepage or restart the game to regain focus.
Why does the Xbox menu keep sliding down and the D-pad cannot control menu selections?
Throttle and brake correspond to RT and LT respectively. In the Xbox protocol, RT slides the menu down and LT slides it up. If the menu moves automatically, recalibrate the pedal through the MOZA Racing mobile app to eliminate the pedal dead zone.
Why does the steering wheel RPM lights fail to rotate with vehicle speed, and the dashboard is not synchronized?
In Xbox mode, the telemetry function is temporarily not supported.
Can the MOZA handbrake and shifters be used in Xbox mode?
Peripherals can obtain Xbox certification support by directly connecting to the base. If the game supports custom key bindings, the peripherals can be adapted normally (adaptation depends on the specific game).
Why is the throttle or brake output maxed out when the pedal is pressed down a little?
Find the pedal tab in the MOZA Racing mobile app, step on and calibrate the pedals.
Does the Forza Horizon series lock framerate?
All games on the Xbox platform are locked at 60 or 30 fps due to the performance limitations of Xbox.
Can the ESX steering wheel be used on other brands of bases?
No, third-party bases are not supported. The ESX steering wheel can only be used with MOZA bases currently sold in the official MOZA store.
Can the Xbox controller be connected at the same time?
The Xbox controller and the racing steering wheel are two different control devices and will not conflict. However, in the Forza series of games, switching back and forth between the two devices may cause the controller to remain in a constant vibration state.
Workaround:
- Wired controller: Disconnect the USB power supply cable
- Wireless controller: Long press the Xbox button on the controller and choose to turn it off
Can the ESX steering wheel use the ES Formula Wheel Mod or the 12" Round Wheel Mod?
Yes. The ES steering wheel and the ESX steering wheel use the same specifications, and the ES steering wheel mods can be used universally.
