G29 wheel and pedals $250-300. Logitech.
I've had mine for a year and no problems.

[Mr. Pink]

Thank you, I’ll check it out :)

Logitech G920 with a steering knob and TH8A shifter. Couldn't be happier with my setup unless I got it for free.

currently the game won't detect my logitec steering wheel, just fair warning its problematic for some folk

G920 and no problems in hundreds of hours of use in ETS 2 and ATS.

The game supports wheels with a 900 degree turn radius. So that is Lagitech G920, G29 and G923 with either playstation or xbox button setup.

From Thrustmaster the T150 (automatic 2 pedals) T150 Pro (Thrustmaster Pro versions have 3 pedals), there is also the TMX and TMX Pro

The New Thrustmaster T248 is released on October 21st.

There are cheaper wheels with suckers to stick to the top of your desk for a fraction of a thrustmaster or Logitech but you get what you pay for so look for a deal on the above models and get a much better piece of kit that can last for years.

Also, enter the competition to win a new Thrustmaster T248:

i too am currently experiencing issues with my numbskull pedals i.e. they don`t work on the game

You have got to go through the setup process - these things are not plug and play. It seems common to not set up pedal in particular. The game actually wants you to set up brake and accelerator travel, Axis and whether your pedals require and inverted setting (or not)

Make sure that you download the software for your wheel. I use G-Hub, but some prefer the older LGS for force feed back. Never download both as running 2 different applications for a wheel causes all sorts of funky stuff.

If anyone ends up with two different logitech software on their computer, I have a safe link for the discontinued Logitech WheelDriverCleaner - give me a shout if you need it.

I recommend that once you activate you wheel software and allow drivers to download and the wheel to be seen in the software that you then reboot your computer before continuing with setting up for ANY games.

Here are my personal G-Hub settings for G920

Click on your Wheel and Pedal picture when it appears in G-Hub, you have three TABs on the side menu Assignments Box with + in the centre, wheel, wheel image and three pedals.
Select 'Steering Wheel' and set the following options.
Operating Range 900
Sensitivity 50
Centering Spring Strength ~25

Many wheel and pedal sets don't register or will not set up IF you have a generic controller setting active for the game. From the Steam Library, right click on ETS 2, select Properties, then 'Controller'. Disable 'generic controller'. You can also do this for all your Steam games via the big Picture mode for Steam.

For my Logitech Logitech pedal settings, the following work for me - these are in the games own control settings section.

Controller Subtype - Wheel
Transmission-Real Automatic - Unless you have a shifter use REAL AUTOMATIC
Steering Sensitivity 100% (slider to the right)
Steering Non linearity 0-10% depending on your preference.

Steering Axis - Joy WheelAxis
Steering Axix deadzone 0% (slider 100% left)
Steering Axis mode - Centred

Acceleration Axis - Joy Accelerattor
Acceleration axis deadzone ~0 - 5%
Acceleration axis mode - Inverted
Click 'Joy Accelerator' button and depress accelerator to set up.

Brake axis - Joy Brake
Brake axis deadzone 0%
Brake axis mode - Inverted
click 'Joy brake' button and depress brake pedal to set up.

Keys and Buttons menu settings (If you want to use the paddles for turn signals, then choose your personal shift up/down options.

On the Secondary controls set wheel paddles for
Shift up - Right Paddle
Shift Down - Left Paddle

Set up wheel and pedals BEFORE you start thinking about setting any buttons. features

Best steering wheels for beginners:
Logitech: G29, G920, G923
Trustmaster: T150, T300 аnd soon T243 will be on sale (but i don't know price)

The good starter wheels have already been mentioned, so just a word of advice :-)
Shop around, check price history over some time (there are websites that have info about it over a period of recent time)

In short, prices for wheels change quite often and may even vary at the same time at different sellers.

if you're just trucking and not racing then the g29 is more than good enough. if you are racing too then the g29 pedals aren't great and not too robust so you will need something better - something with a brake load cell pedal- i use thrustmaster l-tcm pedals and they are brilliant

[Gamsy]

In the budget segment, the G29 pedals are the best. You just need to change the spring in the brake pedal. It's 1 minute & 1$
