Need help with G29 steering wheel

[gamerthangs]

Hey, so up until recently, I have never had an issue with my steering wheel. Then ATS updated and now the game wont recognize my steering wheel. I have plugged and unplugged the wheel, downloaded Ghub to make sure the wheel is showing there, and just about the all the things I could possibly google before coming here. I have some photos of my settings and wont mind sharing them. Just really want to get help with my wheel and get back to playing. Any assistance is appreciated

My G29 is working fine, has been and no problem with the 1.49 update. Just did a check, in controls, mine is set to keyboard+Logitech G HUB G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel USB Controller sub type Wheel than my Transmission settings. All my buttons set to my preferences, hope that helps.

The G29 being the Playstation/PC variant, Logitech recommends using the Logitech Gaming Software, rather than G-Hub .. (I have a G29 also, and it is printed in the documents that come with your Wheel/pedals).

That said, your post makes it sound as if you just recently installed G-Hub, and that you were previously not using G-Hub, but the wheel was working. Am I reading that correctly? And, If I am, does that mean you are using Steam Controller Inputs, and have previously configured your wheel thru Steam Controller setup?

Make sure ur wheel is on default or ats in logitech software. I had same when I first used ats.

Also worth checking is that the little black PS/PC switch (on the wheel axis top) is set to "PC" i.e to the right position.

Logitech G HUB works perfectly with a G29. Maybe there is an update?

I did not say it doesn't work, I said Logitech, the maker of the hardware, recommends using the LGS software. I have done what they recommended, and with over 1700 hours between ATS and ETS2, have never had a problem with the wheel and pedals behaving correctly. Your mileage may vary.

Yes that is correct. I have never used it before until I started googling and seeing that a lot of people were saying to download it. I uninstalled it, and the wheel still doesnt work. I dont believe I have tried to the Steam controller set up. I never had to do that before cause this has been the first time I have had an issue with the wheel

My options are Ps3 or Ps4 on the top. I have always had it set to PS3 since I Got the wheel and it worked perfectly. Should I switch it to PS4?

DO NOT use "Steam Input" .. SCS themselves advise against using "Steam Input" even with just gamepads, because the game includes a VERY complete set of settings for just about any wheel or controller on the market.

Personally, I would suggest downloading and installing the latest version of Logitech Gaming Software. Do basic install, make all settings as "Default" when in setup on LGS. (edit: To use the wheel correctly, you MUST have one or the other Logitech software/drivers installed. I prefer LGS to Ghub).

There is a "correct" way to "hook up" your wheel. With PC powerd ON, and everything DISCONNECTED, First, plug the wheels power cord in to the wall outlet. Next, Start the LGS Software and then plug wheels USB in to your PC's best USB 2.0 port (USB 3.0 is fine if you don't have any older 2.0 ports) .. The wheel should "self Calibrate" .. Once that is complete, you can log in to Steam, start the Game Launcher, and then use the in-game settings to MANUALLY assign wheel and pedals controls (do not use the Wizard).

You must do the first bit every time you want to use the wheel (minus configuring controls).

1. PC On, nothing running, NOT on Steam.
2. Plug in Wheel AC power.
3. Start LGS Software.
4. Plug Wheel USB to PC .. let calibrate.
5. Start Steam app, and log in.
6. Start Game.

NO, Do not change. Mine is set to PS3 also, which is correct for PC use.

Edit: After reading Few Goose's comment, I went to Logitech website to verify, and INDEED the FAQ says to use PS4 for PC:\

PlayStation®3: Set the mode switch to PS3. Your G29 racing wheel will appear as a Driving Force GT in supported games.
NOTE: The clutch pedal, RPM indicator lights, and optional Driving Force Shifter attachment will not function on PlayStation®3.

PlayStation®4: Set the mode switch to PS4. All buttons and accessories will function in games that support them.

PC: Set the mode switch to PS4.
NOTE: You must install Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) 8.70 or later on the PC for full functionality. Once you’ve installed LGS, all buttons and accessories will function in the games that support them.

Not sure if there was an update in the instructions or if I misread some years ago. sorry for the bad info.

I have a G29, Win 11, you must set the slider to PS4. It's recommended that it's plugged in to a USB2 port.
[recently a friend of mine was having issues with his g29 on one racing game, he plugged in to a usb3 port and it fixed]
LGS or Ghub both work, as a matter of fact I have them both plus Logi profiler... since I have different peripherals, that is my only complain to Logi. Hardware wise I'm pretty happy

[H.G.B.]

in addition to Goose answer:
The G29 should also be connected directly to the PC's USB port and not via a hub. The latter can lead to problems.

Here are pictures of my settings

That documentation is outdated, Logitech Gaming Software was replaced with Logitech G Hub.

That Document is the current Document on the Logitech Website, and G-Hub does not replace LGS. They are both still available to download, and according to the Hardware Developer, LGS has functionality that GHub does not.
