The VPG Sim Mission Sim 290 mm Steering Wheel combines a compact GT-style format with a 5-inch VoCore touchscreen, telemetry lighting and extensive controls. An aluminium rear structure, carbon-fibre front plate and injection-moulded grips support its sim-racing design.
Why choose this product?
- The integrated 5-inch touchscreen and 118 individually controlled RGB LEDs place telemetry and configurable visual feedback directly on the steering wheel.
- A 290 mm platform with front and rear buttons, rotary controls, funky switches and aluminium paddles keeps a broad range of race functions within reach.
Product details
Display, construction and controls
Mission Sim weighs 1.30 kg and uses aluminium shifters, paddles, knobs and button guards. Controls include twelve APEM front buttons, two rear Magic buttons, two funky switches, four thumb encoders, four front encoders, one 12-position ELMA multi-switch and two shifter paddles.
Telemetry and VPG Console
The 5-inch VoCore touchscreen is paired with 118 individually controlled LEDs. SimHub manages telemetry and lighting; VPG Console adds firmware, input mapping, optional-clutch calibration and Power Health. VPG specifies SimHub 9.10.1 or later on Windows 10/11.
Mounting and upgrade options
The wheel uses a 50.8 mm PCD pattern for compatible standard quick releases. A 70 mm PCD installation requires the separately sold VPG Hub. Mission Sim supports the optional VPG Sim Duo-Mode Paddle (Clutch Kit), which adds wireless clutch paddles and is not included. The supplied USB cable connects through the rear M12 connector; VPG recommends a powered hub close to the wheelbase.

Connection and ecosystem: USB connection and a 50.8 mm PCD mounting pattern. A 70 mm PCD quick release requires the VPG Hub, sold separately.

Frequently asked questions
Is Mission Sim compatible with Xbox or PlayStation?
VPG documents Mission Sim for Windows PC via USB. Xbox or PlayStation support is not manufacturer-verified and is therefore not claimed.
Does Mission Sim include the Duo-Mode clutch paddles?
No. The Duo-Mode clutch system is an optional upgrade sold separately; the standard wheel does not include it.
Which quick release pattern does Mission Sim use?
The wheel uses a 50.8 mm PCD pattern for compatible standard mountings and quick releases. A 70 mm PCD quick release requires the separately sold VPG Hub.
What software is required for the display and LEDs?
VPG specifies SimHub 9.10.1 or later for telemetry and lighting. VPG Console adds firmware, mapping, clutch calibration and Power Health.
Does Mission Sim support USB pass-through?
Yes. VPG lists Mission Sim as USB pass-through ready. The manual supports JST or M12 connection options and states that both must not be used at the same time.
