G29 wheel help
I have my new G29 wheel and pedals for ATS. Could someone who may have one also, or close to it, help me with the proper set up for it to work? I am having all sorts of issues with buttons not working and over steering and sometimes no steering. Maybe a list showing how it should be set up would help. Thank you for any and all help.

Do you have it plugged into the computer ? And is it set to ps4?

I originally had mine plugged to a USB hub and that caused alot of similiar problems. Also you have to have Ghub installed.

First things to check.

GHub is absolutely necessary. It must be installed and running before you can configure your wheel correctly.

Unlike EST2, ATS will not use the G29 correctly. I have the full set. You need this..

It's the gaming software that will make it work correctly...

I own a g29 as others said before me, you need the software running. Either Ghub or LGS.
Only one, do not attempt having both at the same time.
In the wheel software, make sure is set to 900 degrees, 50% sensitivity and Uncheck the centering spring.
In game try to have both trailer and truck stability to Default and ForceFeedback Default as well.

Been using it for 2 years in ATS, ETS2 and a bunch of other sims, no issues at all

had mine like forever, all I did was install the gaming software, and I was good to go. Never had to do any of that. I don't even know what the hub is.

I need to use LGS 9.02.74 is the last version that can handle all my Logi devices at once.
Loving it, super stable, no issues at all. But do get that someone else, with newer devices, may need the GHUB.

Have ghub, still not getting settings right. When I push the gas pedal, it moves forward, but when I let off, it goes backwards by itself. What is the proper set up? I do not get it. I can not get buttons to do anything as well. I did 50% sensitivity on steering, and no centering spring and all that. Does anyone have the layout they can show me? I am about to toss all this away because it all sucks right now. Wasted my money for nothing. Why can it not just plug in and work? Thanks for any help.

Important that when you set up your wheel using the in game wizard that you set the accelerator and brake pedal travel correctly - many folk don't bother with this and it is the reason why many have issues. IF you select the wrong pedal, then restart the pedal process!

A PC has a world of configuration options, starting with the G-Hub app, then Steam and finally in individual games. A controller would also need set up on the PC platform.

Make sure that you do not have brake and accelerator pedals locked together in game settings. Get the steering and pedals working before you even consider buttons controls.

This is what I did for my G920 which is the PC/xbox version of the G29 for the PC/PS. This is without the force feedback feature being active.



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 ~15

Pedal Sensitivity can be left at default and then adjusted in-game.

Navigate to your Steam library, right click on ATS/ETS2, select properties from drop down option box. From the 'Controllerl' Tab disable generic controller. Universal control can be accessed via the controller settings Steam Big picture mode.

Start ETS 2/ATS and go to the controls section in the game, select the 'Keyboard and G920 Driving Force Wheel for Xbox One' option, then adjust the following; ( use [ESC] button to move from one option to another. If you get stuck with the incorrect settings, then [ESC] out of 'Controls' and then restart.

Controller Subtype - Wheel
Transmission-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%
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

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

Most of it is working. I am however having an issue with the Acceleration set up. I have it on inverted, but the truck drives without me pushing on pedal. When I shift, it goes from Neutral right to 18 speed. How can I get use of my pedal and shift right?
hackintoshchap Mar 6, 2023 @ 12:29pm 
Run trough the setup wizard for the pedals, when you depress the pedal there is a horizontal yellow line that should match your pedal input. If it does not mirror what you are doing then perhaps change away from the current inverted setting.

For gear changing without an additional shifter I have only used the setting you see above. Both paddles on either side of the wheel do change gear from neutral for setting a forward or reverse direction. You might want to try using Real Automatic for now if you can't figure it out.

If someone else has an idea with how to get manual shifting setting done, then they might chime in, there is probably some setting(s) that I cannot think of right now.

I tried to go to centered or even normal, but when I push the pedal, it reverts back to inverted.
hackintoshchap Mar 6, 2023 @ 12:59pm 
Click on the long wide thin button marked "Joy Accelerator", Depress pedal all the way, now use the mouse to change the inverted setting. If it doesn't work, then go through the setup wizard again.

My G920 does use inverted for both accelerator and brake, so it is odd that you need a different setting - make sure that you depress the pedals when setting them up - both should be done.

Just take that hub thing and get rid of it and install the Logitech Gaming software. Over 900 hours in between other games, that was all I did for mine. Just installed it and it was go time! All I needed to do was some assignments in game.
I run a full G29 controller set, setup for H-shifter settings at ranged splitter w/blueberry spiltter add-on. Never had to set anything to inverted for any function. Works just like it should
I'm Just not understanding why your having the issue. Then again, I didn't use game hub, I used the Logitech gaming software that is needed for PS G29 controller to work right in windows..

Get rid of the hub, install the software, and reset everything in game back to default, and start again..

make sure the keyboard bindings have been removed that use the wheel and pedals IE accelerator in the keyboard bindings needs to be removed as it will cause a conflict with the wheel settings as the game will try to use both. same with all bindings used by the wheel and pedal and if u have a shifter those as well.

i had the same prob with my 920. took my foot of the pedal and it went into reverse cause i didnt remove the keyboard bindings for bindings used for the wheel and pedals.
bigburd37 Mar 6, 2023 @ 7:24pm 
I have never had this stuff before so please don't think I am dumb, but what do you mean by bindings and how do you change them? I have already tried the Logitech Gaming software, and it made things worse. And before anyone says it, I do not have a potato computer. I no what one is and mine is so new, updated and maybe overkill on memory and capability, it may be too big for game. I am almost there, just the pedals now. Thank you all for your help.
