I'm actually surprised that Sim Racing Garage is reviewing the G29. I always thought he reviewed items from the higher end of the sim racing spectrum. I'm interested to see what he says about the G29 after he opens it up.

I guess he is broadening his public. He knows that the stuff he reviewed before is out of reach of many people and genuinely like to help and inform people about his own hobby. Nobody denies his experties and i guess doing these reviews answer loads of requests made on his channel.
For the console you will require a computer, get the Logitech software download from their site Which will allow you to calibrate steering wheel rotation and the sensitivity of the pedals. They have software for both Windows OS and Mac OS. You can even adjust the centering spring force. The brake sensitivity is important when switching between the G27 and G29 pedal set.

But those will only work on a PC. It’s basically changing the way the PC interacts with the wheel and not the way the wheels behaves inherently. Once you plug that wheel into the console it’ll be as default/stock settings. None of the settings you changed on PC will be transferred to the wheel itself. The wheel doesn’t have any storage or smart chip inside if i can put it that way.
Thanks, Georgeagea. I guess I can stop thinking I'm really doing something that in turn does nothing. I guy who sold me the setup recommended that I decrease the radius to 720 from the default 900. You can believe everything someone offers up as gospel. I just would like to see the lap times drop, so like they say there is no replacement for practice and lots of it.
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/g27-g25-dfgt-undocumented-wheel-lock-settings-guide.286646/ do these not work at all? ( I guess you just have to try buttons mapped accordingly because the placement changed)

I was HIGHLY impressed and surprised of Simracing Garage review shown a couple of posts above.
I was really happy too about his feedback (see what i did there) on the force feedback!
I always was under the impression (by the internet, hype and fanboys) that the T300 is WAY better than the G29. Yet he simply said it's debatable and that in some cases it's the opposite way around.
I was keeping an eye for an upgrade to the T300 but it seems it's not worth (especially when reliability issues of the T300 are taken into account).
I would really like to get a Fanatec CSL elite PS4 wheel but it's not available for me, and it costs a fortune.

I had the brake mod and the old shifter mod from them. This one looks awesome though, but I don't have this shifter anymore. The guys there are very friendly and helpful by the way.
That shifter mod looks interesting, I might consider that.
I have an adapter on the way to swap out the factory Logitech steering wheel, it should be a big improvement. The next thing would be to address the brake pedal, maybe the Nixim or GTEye spring(s) but I've yet to try either in person.

Yeah this was a factory issue with the early runs. I got one and sent it back to Logitech and the new one they sent was fine. Best of luck with the fix, I think it is doable.
I had a similar experience: wheel would spontaneously disconnect when driving with a message on PS4 'Controller disconnected'. Sometimes the game could be restarted, sometimes the buttons worked but not the wheel - a whole range of variable symptoms.
Both USB ports were tried, I reinstalled the PS4 system software, and game software. None of these worked.
Then I read on a forum that someone had dismantled his wheel and found a loose connection, so I took mine apart with the help of an excellent YouTube and found that the multi-wire connector which connects the buttons on the steering wheel to the main circuit board in the body of the controller was loose. I pushed it firmly in place and it fixed the problem.
The troublesome connector is at the wheel end of a wire that comes through from the main circuit board up through the steering 'column' and terminates on the wheel circuit board. It is surely a weak point in the design: this thin wire spends it life twisting with the steering wheel - it's not surprising that the connector worked loose.

Got one a few weeks ago (G29) on Amazon Prime days. After three days of use I got a pretty ugly squeal turning to the left, so I ordered a replacement from Amazon.
Once the second arrived, it did exactly the same, straght out of the box. As far I read in the web, it is a pretty common issue.
I ordered an refund and send it back.
Just wondering, that my G27 is 7 years old and without an issue at all, despite several gaming hours. Maybe I just had bad luck with both G29, who knows.

Does anyone know the correct screw size for hardmounting one of these. Just trying to avoid trailing round hardware aisle with a wheel trying different bolts lol
