Wine and BZflag come to mind, though I think the support is quite
limited in both.

There's also vDrift (racing sim), they added support very recently.
I plan to add it in my car sim too, but there's still nothing coded.

I have a question: if the force is to be 3D, why only 3 possible values? What would they be, 3 torques or 3 forces? In the case of car sims (ff steering wheels), only one axis of torque is usually used (except for 6 dof platforms, as mentioned).
