so we just got a G29 steering wheel and pedals. we can get it to work on one game on the PS4 ( none of the rest are supported!!) but we cant get it working on dirt 3 on the PC!! now I had the g27 working on this yesterday

cant get either to work on grid though :mad:

any tips on getting the g29 working?
 
I bout one recently and couldn't get my PC to recognize it at all, so I plugged it into a different USB port and it worked fine.. May work for you also
 
yip this is the problem. ive set it up with my PC and its working with Dirt Rally but not dirt 3. ive also got the G27 which worked with Dirt 3 straight up. Im starting to wonder which one to keep. going to try the G27 with Dirt Rally and see how it does.
 
What version of Windows? Windows 10 has a nasty habit of automatically overwriting the drivers for most logitech wheels with the wrong model...
 
yea its Windows 10. scary thing is the G27 seems to work with more games that we have than the G29 does. so far the only game I can get the G29 working with is Dirt Rally and my lad doesnt have that installed on his PC...

went for the newer one thinking it had PS4 support for my lad.. its not compatible with the games he plays... off to buy a thrustmaster tomorrow and see what games I can get the G27 working with as so far it works with Dirt Rally and Dirt 3 which is a step up from the G29...

this fat man carry on has a lot to answer to.. so far its cost me a fortune on steering wheels and pedals...

anyone looking at getting a G29!!!

Ive got it working with Dirt Rally and ive managed to get it working with dirt 3 to a degree ( no force feedback ) so yea it does work but its not suited for my lad as it wont work on the the crew on the PS4

we have ordered the thrustmaster T80 as this is fully compatible with his PS4 ill either see if I can return the G29 or try and get my money back on it.

well keep the G27 as this will work on the PC

strange indeed. the first video i watched on the wheel the guy used it n the crew and drive club he said it worked great. could there not be a firmware update for it at all
 
yeah as in the first vid he covered ps4 and in the second he covered pc. cant remember what vid it was (re formatted pc since and lost history) but ill try find it again
 
I have a g29 and so far it's worked with Dirt Rally, Forza horizon 3, and project cars. I had some problems getting it to work with Grid Auto sport if I remember right.

Definitely ensure software is on and also the wheel is on correct setting and plugged in before you turn the pc on. (I found turning it on after windows was running would sometimes mean it would go mental)
 
good to know it works on forza horizon 3. yea we had it working on Dirt Rally and Dirt 3 but so does the G27. the main issue were having is we bought it thinking it would be compatible with the PS4 but The crew doesnt support it which is the problem as thats the main game he plays on his PS4. It doesnt work on The crew on PC either.

not sure how accurate but according to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Logitech_Racing_Wheels_compatible_games

g29 is compatible with the crew on pc and ps4,

maybe a firmware update is needed, this was the case with my thrustmaster tx useless until the firmware was updated

Yea I saw that list aswel hence I bought it. but the folks on the ubisoft forum say different.

I got the g29 working on windows 10 all fine but you need to work at it, first for pc leave set to ps4 mode. Install the logitech driver. You will probably find the driver will not always see the wheel. If this is the case then you need to correct this in device manager. If the above is ok then for dirt 3 you need to create a profile for the wheel to be detected , follow this vid -

And yes this does work as i picked up the wheel in the sales and wanted to play dirt 3.

Hope this helps

Like Overlag above, mine is only detected in ps3 mode. Op mentioned it working on ps4 so I wonder if this mode was ever tested.

yea I tested the PS3 and PS4 mode.
as I say I mananged to get it working on dirt 3 and dirt rally but the list of compatible games for the lads PS4 was the killer.
