@@DDFRacer Raceroom for me is to strong, and to weak in asseto Corsa. Its strange. Asseto Corsa i like to put in 200 the gain and in Raceroom i put 60. I dont know why is so different.
Different devs, different cars, different tracks, different philosophies 😉 kind of like imperial and metric. Feels the same in the wheel but gets it another approach.
Great guide and hope it helps a lot of fellas with their driving. Delighted to see my KTM sausage bin in the guide too, fame at last, or is that infamy ... :P
Hi Dan...just caught up with your updated video...once again a clearly explained informative video. Will give these settings a try on my G25 as soon as i can. Much appreciated you take the time to help us (ancient!) Logitech racers out... Cheers!
No worries Martyn 😁 happy to help out where I can! The Logitech gear is a great way of getting into sim racing and I relied on it for nearly 15 years 👍
@@pellman87 it's a long time since I've played any sim racing..but it felt very subtle after Raceroom did the big update on there force feedback..but you can always strengthen the FFB with the Raceroom settings to suite each race car. I got to say I've had my trusty G25 for years..and its served me well. Dan gave great advice on the G25/27 setup and for the best part I copied his setup with a few minor changes..hope this helps.
In the interests of being completely open and transparent, I do not get paid by RaceRoom 😉 although, I do have a 'VIP pass' which gives me access to the new content they release and also access to a beta version for testing purposes. Every now and then too the devs throw me some redeem codes for a few cars and tracks to give away on my livestreams so all in all it's a pretty sweet deal! More than happy to make this kind of video though, as even without the perks, I'd still be racing and repping RaceRoom each week. It's my favourite for a reason 👍
thanks so much for making this video! Since the update about one year ago, raceroom wasnt raceroom anymore for me. I still own a logitech driving force from years back, and with the help from your video it works perfect(for me). Thanks again!
Thank you for the information, I got it working again. Just had my PC upgraded and I had to uninstall and reinstall RaceRoom Racing several time to get everything to work. You're the man with the plan.
Thanks for making the video! I knew most of the stuff on here already, but one thing I didn't know was changing the Operating Range in G Hub. Holly Molly, doing that made the DTM 92 drivable for me. No longer spinning out with the slightest turn and now able to attack corners aggressively. It sucks G Hub doesn't automatically change it for you and you have to do it for every car, but now I'm looking forward on trying this out with other cars I had similar issues with.
Seems like you're not the only one who suffered from this but it's an amazing feeling when you get that 1:1 input ratio after having it set incorrectly for a while, makes driving feel so much more natural in an instant. Also, it's baffling that it's not picked up automatically and if you don't know this trick then you're missing out big time. I wonder how many people have tried sim racing, bought a Logitech, had the steering set up incorrectly and then lost interest because it felt awful.
I decided to go back to sim racing after two years :D and I run into your channel about settings I need. I remember your beginner days. Hi bud! o// Thank you for this one
Thank you John 😁 I'd been meaning to get around to making this guide for a while but was waiting for the updates and patches to settle down. I know a lot of people relied on the previous guide so it made sense to do a new one and hopefully give people a helping hand again if they need it 👍
my g29 comes tomorrow and i cant wait,......i remember using your first FFB video to try dial in my controller or at least make it useable.. ......but now i can actually be a real boy AND you have done another great, clear and to the point video on settings. i know theres only a couple , but you dont f about with filler crap and just get the settings explained in a good time. i want to suggest that you and DadDf collaborate on a controller one as he seems to stand up suprisingly well in races
I realise that tomorrow has come and gone so I just wanted to check in and see how you're going 😉 hopefully everything installed fine and is up and running smoothly with no dramas with you having an absolute blast! Good idea about the controller settings too 👍 I'll be doing a 1 vs 1 challenge with him at some point over the next few weeks so a controller guide would work out quite nicely!
@@DDFRacer hey man! Yeh got it all running...well kind of....there's still like 7 cars in rrre I need to set up....and havnt tried using it with f1 2020 yet......is taking a small while to get used to but the sensation is already a million times more fun thay just a controller . Havnt been able to get ghub to recognise it....but logitiech gaming software works fine so stuck with that untill I have the time to try make it work with g hub ..although I guess it's not biggie as already working with the other software
I wanted to make this video sooner, but RaceRoom have been dropping a few patches lately so wanted to make sure things were settled before I committed to recording some footage of a menu or setting which could change at a moments notice 😅 this should cover things nicely until the next major update though hopefully.
@@DDFRacer i wanted to know, settings works perfect however 1 setting i cant seem to find what to change to is when i leave my throttle thr car slows down itself more than it should kinda like its on a auto brake if ur foot is off throttle going into a turn where u dont wana throttle and i do for now race with ABS on but no other assist, any idea on setting to change?
Strange, does it work on other sims or is it just RaceRoom that's having a problem? If it doesn't work on any sim, it might be a problem with the wheel itself (perhaps a faulty power adaptor or USB cable) but if it's just RaceRoom then I'm not too sure. Can you still map buttons if you try to create a new custom profile?
So happy to hear that mate 😁 glad the video came in useful! With the new FFB there's not too much you can actually change in RaceRoom and the default settings/recommendations are pretty good to begin with 👍
Always happy to help out! To be fair, the new settings and FFB are much easier to configure and get right than the previous version since there's not really too much to change/break 😉
Especially on wheels such as Logitech, the added effects are really nice 👍 however when you drive on something with more force such as the CSL DD you don't need to rely on them so much since you can feel those _actual_ effects through the lower ends of the FFB.
There is a big variable in here: you can lower the FFB main strength slider whilst increase the FFB multiplier (car wise) at the same time. With this you also use the full range of wheel torque but with other characteristic. I'm not sure whats the best combination...
I'll have to look into this, although I think lowering the main strength and increasing the multiplier might actually reduce the overall resolution of the FFB. If you set main strength to 50% then you're effectively halving the number of steps available, but then boosting it back up with the multiplier wouldn't add those steps back in again, since it's just multiplying the original FFB values 🤔 maybe?
@@DDFRacer that sounds logic and it most likely behaves that way. But in the end, it doesn't feel worse. So the lack of FFB resolution isnt that remarkable, at least for me (G29 too). Additionally, I didnt go down very low with the main strength. Down to 70% seems to work good (and then increase the multiplier of course).
Happy to help 😁 thanks for the sub. I haven't been able to get much racing done recently but hoping to spend more time on the rig in the new year and get some more videos and streams out.
That's a cracking idea actually 🤔 never thought of that! Shame I can't go back and edit the video now 😅 but I'll make sure you mention it in future if anyone asks
I have issues where my wheel somehow doesn't equate to the input I have in the car. I tried the Logitech settings and they are fine, but not in R3E, I guess Ill have to set separate profiles on the Logitech app for each game cause both your and mine settings in-game are almost but identical on the steering part.
Hmm, unfortunately you're not the first person I've heard with these issues. I know some people have solved it with a reinstall of the Logitech software but it's quite possible they may have changed it all since the last time I used it too, it's been a while since I upgraded to a CSL DD which means the Logitech doesn't get a run-in anymore these days.
Don't think you'll have that Logitech wheel much longer! CSL DD shipments have begun already! I'm getting mine monday! So yours should be here next week too :)
Yeah I know right, I was super surprised when I saw that email from Fanatec 😲 mine is expected Tue-Thur but I'm away Thur-Sun next week so it might have to wait a little bit longer than I'd like...
Thanks Dan, really good. One thing, I like the centering spring and it works great in the Logitech G29 settings but it doesn't work in game. Is there a way to fix this, please?
Not that I'm aware of 🤔 RaceRoom bases the force feedback on the physics of the car and what's actually happening in game, whereas the centering spring is an artificial effect which always adds in resistance regardless of what forces might be acting upon the car. Not sure if there's a way to override that unfortunately.
Hello I know this is an older video but I’m having trouble with my game. For some reason in the game the only way for the car to move is to hold down the clutch and the gas at the same time and then you have to keep holding it to go. Any idea how to fix this?
Do you have auto clutch disabled in your options? If so then you'll always need to hold the clutch in to get the car moving otherwise it'll stall, once you're rolling in 1st gear though then you should be fine, this is standard and unlike other sims (e.g. Assetto Corsa) which will accelerate without clutch even when the car is in gear. If you have auto clutch _enabled_ then I'm not sure, that's odd, although I would check your settings from the Logitech profiler to make sure you have combined axis disabled 👍
Great vid Dan thank you for posting especially the bit about having to change the rotation angle per car in GHub..... When i first got R3E and being new to these modern SIMs i went for a good few weeks with mine at 900 wondering why i struggled to drive anything..... .. hopefully my CSL DD should be turning up next week so all a bit academic really .... :)... i'd be interested to see where you land with your setup when you get yours... which rim did you go for?
The rotation issue has always been a bit of a problem for me, some sims automatically detect it whereas others don't and it's a horrible feeling when your inputs don't match up. After I rebuilt my PC I didn't have much time to get everything set up before taking part in an 8 hour enduro at Spa in rF2 and, for some reason, my wheel bugged out as I took over the LMP2 car from my team mate for the final few hours. Turning the wheel 45' in real life would turn it 90' in rF2 so it was twice as sensitive as it should have been. Man, I held onto that wheel so tight 🤣 baby movements, tiny inputs and it was probably one of the most stressful stints I've ever done. PS. About the CSL DD rim, all will become clear when I put my unboxing video out 😉 but I've been very fortunate and have ended up with two different styles to cover most types of driving...
Sorry I can't help you out with this one John 😥 I haven't used my Logitech for at least a year now since switching to a Fanatec CSL DD, but you're not alone. I've had a few other people say the same thing over the past few months which leads me to believe that either RaceRoom or Logitech have changed they way they do things again which is a bit frustrating, especially since I can't go back and edit this video now. Have you tried asking around on the RaceRoom forums or Discord server?
Well...it works I guess 😅 that's a start, although 10fps would make it a little difficult to control the car properly. RaceRoom is pretty good at running well even on older hardware, so try reducing the resolution and turning all of the graphics to low (especially shadows and number of visible cars) to see if that helps improve things.
Dont worry about replying to this one Dan....but I used LGS.....and oddly, probably because I might have set something up wrong.....but for each car in raceroom I had to set the in game steering angle to 350 for each car or it didn't match up.... Again I might have set something up wrong....but this was after matching the settings for lgs in the video.....wasn't an issue of course. But would be interested if it was something I missed . As I mentioned in my last comment , f1 2020 just wouldn't work right with the wheel ..but RRRE worked like a charm apart from having to change the steering angle to 350. Either way....going from controller to a wheel, even though its a g29, was like might and day. Took a few days to get used too, but I'm now putting in quicker times than the controller and the feeling alone of driving most cars in raceroom and AC is so bloody addictive I cant stop using using it
You do realise by saying "don't worry about replying" that I'm going to reply, right? 😉 In all seriousness mate, sounds like you're having a blast despite a few technical issues with the rotation. How good does it feel when the wheel goes light over crests and gets heavy over bumps? When you get that vibration kick in when the tyres start to scrub? You're right when you say it's addictive 😁 and you'll suddenly find yourself enjoying cars or tracks that you never enjoyed before because now you can _feel_ them for want of a better phrase. It was nice knowing you. Please promise me you'll come back at some point to say hi 🤣
@@DDFRacer haha cheers man....was all good, but moved onto new windows install...and followed this guide again but was still a bit off with the rotation until I turned the driver animation to match settings....now its amazing again and bought a few more cars.....still won't work with f1 2020 yet but I don't play it enough to bother working that out yet. Hadn't been able to use it much since I got it but starting to get the feeling now and knocking my times down. And now extra excited for whenever the next community even happens as I won't feel like so much of a hazard
Many thanks for this, must admit the couple of tweaks made a difference for me. Can I ask on a separate issue. Six months ago you did a video on an ANSE3D wheel for your G29, but when I watch you, you are still using the standard wheel. I have been looking at the MVHStudios GT wheel, so I am just wondering what you think about upgrading the wheel in general terms. Many thanks Andrew
Hey Andrew, unfortunately the ANSE3D wheel cracked and had to be retired 😭 which is a shame because I absolutely loved that thing! It actually happened during the middle of recording my Stefan Bellof video if you want to go and see exactly what happened, but yeah, must have been a small crack which got worse over time due to the flexing. I'd still recommend one though, but make sure you don't get too rough or excited with it like I did 👍 although I can't fault the original G29 rim since it's made of very solid stuff.
@@DDFRacer many thanks for taking the time to reply, recently added the true brake to my G29 pedals and I have to say it’s the closest I have to driving a real car. Tuesday Thunder is a part of my week btw, I’m afraid I use it to see what times people are doing, to see how far away I am from being competitive! As per my school report, “needs more effort “! Thanks again for your videos, really appreciated. Andrew
Hello i don't understand One thing...With ghub wheel rotation set to 900 the game doesn't auto match correct rotation for car? I must change the Number on the ghub for every different car to have a correct wheel rotation?
Unfortunately it doesn't match the rotation, not from my latest experience at least. I've been using a Fanatec CSL DD for a few months now so can't comment on the latest releases of GHUB but when I was last using my Logitech wheel I had to manually set the degrees of rotation in the software depending on which type of car I was driving in RaceRoom.
I have followed this guide and yet my g29 still doesn't match up with the in game wheel? I have changed the ghub rotation to suit the car yet it is still not matching. Many thanks
That is very frustrating 🤔 seems like Logitech or RaceRoom may have updated their software _again_ since I made this video. Unfortunately I no longer use my G29 (upgraded to a CSL DD mid-2021) so I would recommend posting up on the RaceRoom forums or Discord to see if anyone still using a G29 might be able to help 👍
1:54 Do I really need to ALT-Tab out of the game? R3E has a setting which matches the in-game wheel rotation to the rotation in the setup. If I then drive a car with a 540° rotation the soft lock enables when exceeding the rotation.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a way around this one, even with a fresh install of the drivers 😢 Logitech software doesn't connect properly with RaceRoom in terms of rotation for some reason, even with steering match enabled. The option in-game affects the visual rotation of the wheel but that doesn't always match up with exactly what's happening in the wheel. Best way to check is to set it to 900 in the software and then jump in something like the F2 or F3 car which is only around 360 in game. You'll be able to tell pretty quickly if it works or not as you'll hardly get any steering in the corners.
Thanks for the video. I'm using a diy hoverboard ffb steering wheel, and I have no force in the center position, the track texture and kerbs are felt, however the wheel does not load up as I turn into corners. Not sure if I am missing an obvious setting or if it is related to diy FFB Wheel. Any help would be greatly appreciate. NB! I have superb force feedback playing other titles ie, LFS and Assetto Corsa.
Going to be honest here mate, I have absolutely no idea how to help you 😅 sorry about that! Making a DIY wheel isn't a project I've ever taken on, all of my gear is either off the shelf or made my someone else so my knowledge of the technical side of things is very limited. You'd have much better success posting up on the RaceRoom forums or their Discord server 👍
Hey Daniel 👋 unfortunately I don't have a video for iRacing FFB as I'm no longer using my G29. I've upgraded to a CSL DD recently and am using the default recommended settings on the Fanatec forum. Sorry I couldn't be of any help!
Hey mate 👋 sorry for the late reply! I'm not too sure why that would be the case, are the pedals and shifter detected by other sims or is this just a RaceRoom issue? Is the power definitely connected and the cables for the shifter and pedals secure in the wheelbase? Have you tried using the default profile for your controller in RaceRoom or tried creating a new one from scratch to see if that works too? Is the device properly calibrated in Windows? If all of these things check out then I'd suggest searching on the RaceRoom forums or posting up on their Discord server for some more help 👍
Hey, first of all thanks a lot for this Vid. I have a G293 and for some reason i have to put half the steering sense in logitech software for it to be somewhat accurate in raceroom, any idea why?
Ah I wish I could help you but unfortunately it's been a few years since I used my Logitech wheel or their software (upgraded to a Fanatec CSL DD) and even longer since I made this video 😅 so who knows what updates or compatibility issues may have creeped in since then. Your best best would either be the RaceRoom forums or Discord server 👍 I would imagine plenty of people would have the same wheel as yourself and might have encountered a similar issue who could hopefully point you in the right direction.
Very strange 🤔 are you using Logitech Gaming Software or GHUB? I haven't used my G29 for over a month now (upgraded to a Fanatec CSL DD) so perhaps Logitech have released another update which has re-broken things again...
Hello! I did everything just like you in the software and in the game too. But that thing that show you the strenght of the ffb just doesnot show anithing. And the ffb doesnot work if i go onto a curb or when i shift. So do you know what can be the problem? (Sorry for my bad English)
I'm not sure about this 🤔 I've heard a few other people mention this previously but I didn't find out if they fixed the issue or what they did to fix it. Your best bet would either be the official RaceRoom forums or Discord server 👍 also try completely uninstalling the Logitech software, restarting your PC and reinstalling it again if you haven't already tried.
bro i would you to try this: set your ghub steering angle to 280/320 and then lower the steering lock in car setup of race room racing experience to 11 or 12. now you have the same outcome but with faster steering response for those xtra 6 tenth. the standard steering response and turning angle is a bit slow and should be adjusted to your driving instead of adjusting your wheel to the settings of the game. Now because you only have an 280/320 steering angle you dont have to turn the steering wheel more than your arms can turn holding a steering wheel. so 280 degrees settings would only steer your wheel less than 180 degrees left or right wich is optimal for racing tbh. like the F1 cars. * this is something you can tinker with to own style or desires but too low steering lock makes a car way too snappy etc... have fun chasing your ghost *THIS APPLY ONLY FOR THE LOGITECH RACEWHEELS
Thanks for the tip 👍 it might work for some people but I'm not a big fan of it personally, it also depends on the car too. Single seaters generally have a much lower degree of rotation in the steering wheel since they're more nimble cars whereas older/historic cars like classic DTM or Group 5 have a much higher degree of rotation since you're applying constant but small corrections. Having a smaller rotation in one of these cars would make it _super_ twitchy and hard to control, as even a small correction can send the car into a pendulum effect and swinging from one side to the other. Smaller rotation can also induce oscillations in the steering wheel for cars that have stronger FFB effects making it start to shake violently from side to side. That said, it's rare to use the absolute full lock available in a car unless you're at slow speed and navigating a super tight hairpin (Macau for example). Applying full or near full lock at normal racing speeds usually means you're scrubbing the tyres across the track surface and understeering like crazy, burning them up in the process. If you're feeling the need to apply that much steering lock then it's a good indicator that you're carrying way too much speed through the corner, and applying more lock beyond a certain point isn't going to give more grip, just increased tyre wear. Much better to use your feet to steer, reduce the speed and allow the tyres to grip up. They'll last longer and it'll be faster too.
@@DDFRacer true every car has different stiffness or steering angle but the standard settings for me are a bit too slow and pedal sensitivity way too high (snappy) and instant at 25%. standard are good for learning track and corners. after some practise you could try it out. yes but in raceroom settings you could change steering sensitivity in advanced tab (50/100). higher settings brings more rumble in the wheels. set this to your likes BUT below 50 you get lag with steering (the real time steering goes off a bit for logitech wheels). i also set logitech software all my pedals very low 10% and pedal sensitivity to 0. steering sensitivity to 100, 280 degree and 40 spring (based on my own car) and boxed option on. (unboxed you feel the end of the rotation better but its also to your likes). in game ffb page all pedal release and pressing to 0 because that gives you kinda real time pressing in game, less instant bursts when pressing the pedals. i adjust the steering wheel options in practise INGAME to the rotation that i adjusted in the logitech software and change lock from 16 down a bit (i run 11/12 but this is also desired to your likes). below 11 can end up in a crocodile. FFB multiplier with these settings (and i run some time on different tracks different cars) could be changed to around 1.4/1.5/1.6 but 1.6 does redline heavy on certain spots but also depends car. hint always set a button to ffb multiplier and the graphic for best settings. ALWAYS build a setup based on the tyre info in garage after running at least 4/5 rounds. check the tyre info and remember the car behaviour. adjust the settings to your likes. hint raise or lower SPRING RATE to start with if heat is an issue with standard settings and go from there. for me that totally works because heat is a neccesity in rrre. and yes sometimes you go into a corner with too much speed and that is not even my issue, its the rotation of the wheel compared to the screen thats buggin me from the start with this steering wheel. i drive a car in real life and i tried to duplicate that steering so it felt more comfy for me and did went faster. i actually won a 40min race last night on redbull ring dtm2018 or 19 with the bmw m3 timo glock yellow car lol (ingame)
Before you do this, make sure you save your profile first so you don't lose any settings like your keybinds or sensitivity/deadzones. If you go to the 'Control Sets' page you can select the default profile for your device and that should tell you what all the default numbers will be 👍
Hi there,I have a logitech driving force gt and my issue is the game detects my steering wheel,but not the pedals,even when I try to bind them and double click like other people say,still nothing,any help would be most appreciated thxs
Hey Chloe 👋 is the issue limited to just RaceRoom or is it the same across other sims too? If it's across all sims then it might be some kind of hardware failure or maybe even just a loose cable where the pedals connect, but if it's just RaceRoom then I would suggest selecting a new default profile in the Controller page instead of trying to modify your existing one and see if that fixes the issue.
hello. Im thinking of starting to play raceroom i just want to know one thing. Do i still need to change the wheel rotation with Ghub or now thats automatic? Thank u for the response.
Hey Diogo 👋 unfortunately I haven't used my Logitech wheel for about 9 months now so couldn't really say whether or not Ghub works properly with rotation at the moment. Sorry!
Great post and thank you. Dude..I do iracing and decided to try raceroom. Installed it yesterday. I have a logitech wheel that works awesome in iracing but in this sim I can not turn??wtf..i m in practice and I cant get the car to turn right or light sharp enough??
That's an odd one 🤔 did you find a solution yet? If not, it might be worth creating a new control preset from scratch instead of using one of the default control presets and seeing if that fixes it. If your wheel works elsewhere but not RaceRoom then it's definitely a RaceRoom issue although I wouldn't really know where to start. Your best bet would be to run a search or ask around on the Raceroom forums or Discord server 👍
my g29 is new and you said I need to match the steering angle with the steering of the car, so i do that but it still doesn't turn same time as in the game.
It may be possible that Logitech have updated their drivers and software (again) since I made this video over a year ago unfortunately. I would try setting your Logitech to maximum rotation (900) and see if that fixes the issue 👍 it's possible that the rotation now automatically matches.
@@makkermoman8 ahh sorry mate, I'm all out of ideas then as I don't use this wheel any more 🤷♂️ your best chance might be looking on the RaceRoom forums or Discord
In the control options or gameplay options (can't remember which off the top of my head and currently away from the rig) there will be a way to set your gear shift method, either Automatic or Manual. There is also an option to 'Use H Pattern' or similar, make sure this is enabled too 👍
@@DDFRacer yeah thanks for the feedback i was kinda figuring you were gonna say that ive made it manual and checked the h pattern option for some reason it does not work i always have to use my paddle shifters i do not know if its due to the cars i am using in game are only paddle shifters or because my game is bugged
@@xDEATHCLINCHx that might be the issue actually. Even with h pattern enabled, you can only use the shifter in cars that actually have ah pattern gearbox. Which car are you using?
@@DDFRacer thanks for the help i figured it out it was what i was concerned about you can only use cars that have a h shifter inside the car i tested a bunch of cars out until i found a couple that were. majority of the cars are paddle shifters so its kinda hard tell which ones are h pattern lol
Hello I have a problem with RaceRoom each time I launch RaceRoom I have to reconfigure the steering wheel keys. I don't know soft comes the problem I uninstalled the game 3 times nothing to do the keys are not registered. I have the G29 thank you for your help. I'm on a translator sorry Regards
Hey Scorpi 👋 that's a strange problem, I'm not sure what the solution is. I would recommend asking on the official RaceRoom forums or Discord server as there may be someone else who has experienced the same problem and could help.
@@DDFRacer Hello Thank you for your answer I uninstalled RaceRoom which I put on disk C everything works. On Disk D is found Raceroom there my mark Reading error why I don't know? finally everything works now thanks again Regards
If you have a car that's fast enough to take the lead, then you already have one that's fast enough to maintain it 😉 at that point it becomes about not making mistakes and defending properly.
Not too sure what the issue is there unfortunately 🤔 never used a Thrustmaster wheel and I made this guide for Logitech wheels. I'd suggest asking for help on the RaceRoom Discord server or their forums if you haven't already tried 👍
Still cant get my steering wheel to match that or RaceRoom not matter what and only the Ghub software works, any ideas anyone??? also cant seem to use my wheel in the menus to scroll and there are no settings to do this
The menus in RaceRoom are all done through the keyboard and mouse as far as I'm aware 👍 much like rFactor 2, iRacing, Assetto Corsa and so on. As for the steering rotation to match, I honestly couldn't say any more. I've heard a few people say over the past week or two that this is broken again, so perhaps Logitech have released a new update/patch which has caused this not to work anymore 🤷♂️ sorry I couldn't help you mate.
No I don't use UPS, the power supply in my area seems to be very reliable 👍 although we do get some crazy storms in summer, although in that instance I tend to just switch everything off and wait until the weather has passed.
Good luck mate, hope it all goes smoothly and you get RaceRoom up and running with your gear without issue 🤞 any problems then head on over to their forums and Discord server as there's plenty of people to help out if there's not already an existing topic which has a solution.
Will need a few more details mate. Which wheel are you running? Which software are you running? Have you enabled the 'match rotation animation' option in your gameplay settings?
@@austin2727 no worries 😉 let me know how you get on. If that's not the issue then I wouldn't be surprised if Logitech have updated the software and broken things again...
No idea unfortunately, this isn't something I've ever heard of before 🤔 I would suggest searching on the RaceRoom forums to see if anyone else has had the same problem.
Lo siento si esto no tiene sentido, no hablo español, así que estoy usando Google Translate. Han pasado muchos años desde que utilicé el software de Logitech, por lo que lamentablemente no sé si se actualizó recientemente. Sin embargo, hay una configuración en RaceRoom que debe activarse para que coincida con la rotación del volante. Si esto no funciona, es posible que deba reinstalar el software de Logitech. Espero que puedas entenderme y que mi respuesta tenga sentido para ti.
I've never used the Driving Force Pro so, unfortunately, can't really help you out too much 🤔 I made this video before the new models of Logitech wheels were released. I'm sure there's another guide by someone else out there 👍
Hey Marco you know what mate, if you enjoy it and you get a big smile on your face when you go sim racing then who cares what wheel you're using 😁 absolutely nothing wrong with Logitech gear though, it served me well for nearly 15 years! Their software on the other hand...
@@DDFRacer i bought it in 2009 .. saw lot's of use on my ps3 and pc, from gran tourismo to F1 games , wrc games , dirt games ( especialy dirt 3 and 2.0 ), Eurotruck and many many others, always did his job and never let me down
Are you using any kind of driver assists? For example traction control, abs or steering help? These usually add ballast if the car doesn't have it by default 👍
I cant even play the game. When i select car and track and try to race, the game loads for a few seconds and goes straight back to the menu.screen. Stuck in that same loop. If this cant get resolved the damn game will be uninstalled. No wonder the game is free.
Have you tried again and had any success? Sometimes the servers can be a bit hit and miss with RaceRoom unfortunately, I've had that issue a few times as well and usually it's just a case of hanging fire and giving it another crack later. If you're still having no joy, it might be worth posting up on the RaceRoom forums to see if anyone else is having the same problem or can help you out. Just because it's free doesn't mean it's crap 😉 it's just their way of doing things. Let anyone try the base content and then the addtional cars/tracks are extra.
@DDF Racer thanks for the reply. I did try many times with no success. I've uninstalled the game. I see no point of wasting my time with it, when they clearly don't care enough to spend time fixing their servers. Anyway, all the best 👍
It might just be a visual thing 👍 as far as I know in RaceRoom the visual animation is limited to only 180, even if the wheel is turning more than that in reality.
Unfortunately the Logitech software has been updated several times since I made this video and I upgraded to Fanatec a couple of years ago so my current knowledge is pretty limited. Your best chance would be to post on either the Raceroom forums or their Discord server and hopefully someone can help you out 👍
That might be a problem then since this video is also a few years old too 😅 maybe you're running the _newer_ version? As far as I know, Logitech auto updates even if you tell it not to, which can be annoying.
@@DDFRacer It's the old G27 using "Logitech Profiler" -- it seems to work well with these settings even though there is no "Sensitivity" setting in the software. The degrees of rotation even works automatically.
Which car are you driving? If it's a front wheel drive TCR then that's quite impressive 😉 but in all seriousness, you shouldn't be getting any FFB doing doughnuts as the front wheels are pretty much stationary and the suspension wouldn't be under much load.
@@DDFRacer i should absolutely have ffb cause i have back wheels trying to push me forwards and cause im spinning id have other side under a load i absolutely should have feed back
NOTHING can fix the the shitty heavy feel of that game. I will never play it again. Gran Turismo is not dead for me. I know people like to try and bury it. GT games are the best. Wreckfest is tits also. Dont listen to the haters.
Just wondering when was the last time you tried RaceRoom? They've made some pretty significant changes to the physics and FFB in the last year or so 👍 there's also live overlay you can use and buttons you can map to increase/decrease the FFB whilst driving and see exactly if it's clipping out your wheel or not (which would explain the heavy feeling).
If you're used to a direct drive wheel, yes absolutely. If it's your first wheel coming from a controller or keyboard, it's probably quite impressive 👍 and as good as can be expected for entry level gear at that price point.
Been there, done that 😉 although the FFB is rather nice, I decided to uninstall after 2-3 years of spending more time dealing with bugs and issues than actually racing.
I guess if you're *really* used to the old FFB and have based your driving style around it then it's going to take a long time to get used to 🤔 but ultimately it does feel much better in my opinion!
As a friendly comment from a big fan of yours, that happens to be an engineer, so got triggered LOL, it's actually N.m not n.M. Newton is N, while n is for Nano. Meter is m, while M is for Mega. Cheers!
Ahh didn't you know, all the cool kids are measuring force feedback in nanomegas these days 😉 In all seriousness, thanks mate! You only make these mistakes once right 😅 I shall make sure this is fixed up for my CSL DD video next week.
@@DDFRacer hahaha yeah definitely. I want a CSL DD bad man but the situation here in Lebanon now is catastrophic. (i know we have lots of us over there in Australia LOL). We have huge economic crisis and we can't even access our money in the banks, let alone ordering anything... 😥
Does your wheel work with other games? Is the power pack plugged in? Have you tried using the default wheel profile or deleted and created a new one? Have you tried posting up on the RaceRoom forums or discord server if none of the above work?

G923 here got a new life with your guide. And my driving improved by a hundred per cent. No more struggling with the TCR. Thank you!
Awesome to hear 😁 glad it came in useful for you!
@@DDFRacer Raceroom for me is to strong, and to weak in asseto Corsa. Its strange. Asseto Corsa i like to put in 200 the gain and in Raceroom i put 60. I dont know why is so different.
Different devs, different cars, different tracks, different philosophies 😉 kind of like imperial and metric. Feels the same in the wheel but gets it another approach.
Great guide and hope it helps a lot of fellas with their driving. Delighted to see my KTM sausage bin in the guide too, fame at last, or is that infamy ... :P
When talking about kerbs, there was no way I couldn't include that clip 😉 I'm sorry...
@@DDFRacer Absolutely x
Hi Dan...just caught up with your updated video...once again a clearly explained informative video. Will give these settings a try on my G25 as soon as i can. Much appreciated you take the time to help us (ancient!) Logitech racers out... Cheers!
No worries Martyn 😁 happy to help out where I can! The Logitech gear is a great way of getting into sim racing and I relied on it for nearly 15 years 👍
Did you find good setting the Good 'Ol G25? Mines feeling dull and boring compared to RF2.
@@pellman87 it's a long time since I've played any sim racing..but it felt very subtle after Raceroom did the big update on there force feedback..but you can always strengthen the FFB with the Raceroom settings to suite each race car. I got to say I've had my trusty G25 for years..and its served me well.
Dan gave great advice on the G25/27 setup and for the best part I copied his setup with a few minor changes..hope this helps.
Ah, the sequel to the video that got me back into RaceRoom; S3 owe you some commission!
In the interests of being completely open and transparent, I do not get paid by RaceRoom 😉 although, I do have a 'VIP pass' which gives me access to the new content they release and also access to a beta version for testing purposes. Every now and then too the devs throw me some redeem codes for a few cars and tracks to give away on my livestreams so all in all it's a pretty sweet deal! More than happy to make this kind of video though, as even without the perks, I'd still be racing and repping RaceRoom each week. It's my favourite for a reason 👍
thanks so much for making this video! Since the update about one year ago, raceroom wasnt raceroom anymore for me. I still own a logitech driving force from years back, and with the help from your video it works perfect(for me). Thanks again!
Happy to help 😁 especially if it brings the enjoyment back to RaceRoom for you!
Thank you for the information, I got it working again. Just had my PC upgraded and I had to uninstall and reinstall RaceRoom Racing several time to get everything to work. You're the man with the plan.
Happy to help 😎 glad to hear you got it back up and running again!
@@DDFRacer Now since I upgraded my computer American Truck Simulator is screwed up. Do you have AMERICAN Truck Simulator?
@@isdifww I can't say I do unfortunately 🤷
Thanks for making the video! I knew most of the stuff on here already, but one thing I didn't know was changing the Operating Range in G Hub. Holly Molly, doing that made the DTM 92 drivable for me. No longer spinning out with the slightest turn and now able to attack corners aggressively. It sucks G Hub doesn't automatically change it for you and you have to do it for every car, but now I'm looking forward on trying this out with other cars I had similar issues with.
Seems like you're not the only one who suffered from this but it's an amazing feeling when you get that 1:1 input ratio after having it set incorrectly for a while, makes driving feel so much more natural in an instant. Also, it's baffling that it's not picked up automatically and if you don't know this trick then you're missing out big time. I wonder how many people have tried sim racing, bought a Logitech, had the steering set up incorrectly and then lost interest because it felt awful.
Probably the best guide video ever made.
Thank you very much for the kind words 🧡
I just tried the settings it really works thank you so much for the video.
No problems at all 😁 you're welcome! Glad you're getting a better experience out of the wheel now
I decided to go back to sim racing after two years :D and I run into your channel about settings I need.
I remember your beginner days. Hi bud! o//
Thank you for this one
No problem 😎 welcome back! Still here doing my thing in this odd little corner of the internet ha!
And again a superb guide from you. Nice that you did an updated version.
Thank you John 😁 I'd been meaning to get around to making this guide for a while but was waiting for the updates and patches to settle down. I know a lot of people relied on the previous guide so it made sense to do a new one and hopefully give people a helping hand again if they need it 👍
i know its 2 years later so maybe the games changed but i dont have the linearity slider
my g29 comes tomorrow and i cant wait,......i remember using your first FFB video to try dial in my controller or at least make it useable..
......but now i can actually be a real boy AND you have done another great, clear and to the point video on settings.
i know theres only a couple , but you dont f about with filler crap and just get the settings explained in a good time.
i want to suggest that you and DadDf collaborate on a controller one as he seems to stand up suprisingly well in races
I realise that tomorrow has come and gone so I just wanted to check in and see how you're going 😉 hopefully everything installed fine and is up and running smoothly with no dramas with you having an absolute blast!
Good idea about the controller settings too 👍 I'll be doing a 1 vs 1 challenge with him at some point over the next few weeks so a controller guide would work out quite nicely!
@@DDFRacer hey man! Yeh got it all running...well kind of....there's still like 7 cars in rrre I need to set up....and havnt tried using it with f1 2020 yet......is taking a small while to get used to but the sensation is already a million times more fun thay just a controller .
Havnt been able to get ghub to recognise it....but logitiech gaming software works fine so stuck with that untill I have the time to try make it work with g hub
..although I guess it's not biggie as already working with the other software
Got my wheeel back so here again to remember how to enter settings in raceroom baba
A pleasure to have you back mate 🤩 it's been a while!
Great content Dan. Glad to see this guide revived 🙂
I wanted to make this video sooner, but RaceRoom have been dropping a few patches lately so wanted to make sure things were settled before I committed to recording some footage of a menu or setting which could change at a moments notice 😅 this should cover things nicely until the next major update though hopefully.
Well, I've got the Logitech G-29, but R3 might just be one driving sim too many. A very instructive video for those who have both though, Dan.
Cheers John 😁 if you ever decide to pick it up and give it a try then you have the guide ready 👍
Great video! Just what i needed for my logitech wheel! Hopefully things will go and work better
Thanks Lehan, fingers crossed these are some good settings for you mate 🤞
@@DDFRacer i wanted to know, settings works perfect however 1 setting i cant seem to find what to change to is when i leave my throttle thr car slows down itself more than it should kinda like its on a auto brake if ur foot is off throttle going into a turn where u dont wana throttle and i do for now race with ABS on but no other assist, any idea on setting to change?
For some reason, my Logitech won’t appear on the control sets. 3:01, it’s weird and it’s not showing up
Strange, does it work on other sims or is it just RaceRoom that's having a problem? If it doesn't work on any sim, it might be a problem with the wheel itself (perhaps a faulty power adaptor or USB cable) but if it's just RaceRoom then I'm not too sure. Can you still map buttons if you try to create a new custom profile?
I also have this issue idk why
I have the same problem, did you manage to solve it?
what a perfect video.... omg. i am a tweaker and love to get the best out of my gear.... and you taught me a lot
So happy to hear that mate 😁 glad the video came in useful! With the new FFB there's not too much you can actually change in RaceRoom and the default settings/recommendations are pretty good to begin with 👍
Great video, thank you!
(yeah, one year late, but just happen to have linked it to a logitech user and it was VERY useful)
Always happy to help out! To be fair, the new settings and FFB are much easier to configure and get right than the previous version since there's not really too much to change/break 😉
Bump amp and shift feedback adds some cool immersion. Everything else just feels less after playing R3E.
Especially on wheels such as Logitech, the added effects are really nice 👍 however when you drive on something with more force such as the CSL DD you don't need to rely on them so much since you can feel those _actual_ effects through the lower ends of the FFB.
Thanks for the effort, you put into this Dan. Really helpful & informative👍👏
Happy to help out 😁 no worries!
Awesome guide DDF! Thanks for the great explanations!
No worries Jeff 👍 glad it came in useful mate!
There is a big variable in here: you can lower the FFB main strength slider whilst increase the FFB multiplier (car wise) at the same time. With this you also use the full range of wheel torque but with other characteristic. I'm not sure whats the best combination...
I'll have to look into this, although I think lowering the main strength and increasing the multiplier might actually reduce the overall resolution of the FFB. If you set main strength to 50% then you're effectively halving the number of steps available, but then boosting it back up with the multiplier wouldn't add those steps back in again, since it's just multiplying the original FFB values 🤔 maybe?
@@DDFRacer that sounds logic and it most likely behaves that way. But in the end, it doesn't feel worse. So the lack of FFB resolution isnt that remarkable, at least for me (G29 too). Additionally, I didnt go down very low with the main strength. Down to 70% seems to work good (and then increase the multiplier of course).
Thanks ddf, this really helped, u have a new sub btw😉
Happy to help 😁 thanks for the sub. I haven't been able to get much racing done recently but hoping to spend more time on the rig in the new year and get some more videos and streams out.

@@DDFRacer Haha I can now practice without smacking into every wall 🤣

Tnx for the informative video :) really helped :)
Happy to help mate, glad the video came in useful 😁
This really helped
Awesome stuff, glad it was useful!
Thanks fore this info, I Will try it.
No worries Paul, happy to help as always 👍
Very helpful video :)
Good to hear it was useful 👍 happy RaceRoom-ing!
Thank you for this video. Without "you" i am still wondering why me wheel is so off.
Happy to hear it came in useful! Don't forget to set the FFB multiplier for each car too 😉 it makes such a big difference.
I have issues where my wheel somehow doesn't equate to the input I have in the car.
I tried the Logitech settings and they are fine, but not in R3E, I guess Ill have to set separate profiles on the Logitech app for each game cause both your and mine settings in-game are almost but identical on the steering part.
Hmm, unfortunately you're not the first person I've heard with these issues. I know some people have solved it with a reinstall of the Logitech software but it's quite possible they may have changed it all since the last time I used it too, it's been a while since I upgraded to a CSL DD which means the Logitech doesn't get a run-in anymore these days.
Don't think you'll have that Logitech wheel much longer! CSL DD shipments have begun already! I'm getting mine monday! So yours should be here next week too :)
Yeah I know right, I was super surprised when I saw that email from Fanatec 😲 mine is expected Tue-Thur but I'm away Thur-Sun next week so it might have to wait a little bit longer than I'd like...
Thanks Dan, really good. One thing, I like the centering spring and it works great in the Logitech G29 settings but it doesn't work in game. Is there a way to fix this, please?
Not that I'm aware of 🤔 RaceRoom bases the force feedback on the physics of the car and what's actually happening in game, whereas the centering spring is an artificial effect which always adds in resistance regardless of what forces might be acting upon the car. Not sure if there's a way to override that unfortunately.
Hello I know this is an older video but I’m having trouble with my game. For some reason in the game the only way for the car to move is to hold down the clutch and the gas at the same time and then you have to keep holding it to go. Any idea how to fix this?
Do you have auto clutch disabled in your options? If so then you'll always need to hold the clutch in to get the car moving otherwise it'll stall, once you're rolling in 1st gear though then you should be fine, this is standard and unlike other sims (e.g. Assetto Corsa) which will accelerate without clutch even when the car is in gear. If you have auto clutch _enabled_ then I'm not sure, that's odd, although I would check your settings from the Logitech profiler to make sure you have combined axis disabled 👍
Great vid Dan thank you for posting especially the bit about having to change the rotation angle per car in GHub..... When i first got R3E and being new to these modern SIMs i went for a good few weeks with mine at 900 wondering why i struggled to drive anything.....
.. hopefully my CSL DD should be turning up next week so all a bit academic really .... :)... i'd be interested to see where you land with your setup when you get yours... which rim did you go for?
The rotation issue has always been a bit of a problem for me, some sims automatically detect it whereas others don't and it's a horrible feeling when your inputs don't match up. After I rebuilt my PC I didn't have much time to get everything set up before taking part in an 8 hour enduro at Spa in rF2 and, for some reason, my wheel bugged out as I took over the LMP2 car from my team mate for the final few hours. Turning the wheel 45' in real life would turn it 90' in rF2 so it was twice as sensitive as it should have been. Man, I held onto that wheel so tight 🤣 baby movements, tiny inputs and it was probably one of the most stressful stints I've ever done.
PS. About the CSL DD rim, all will become clear when I put my unboxing video out 😉 but I've been very fortunate and have ended up with two different styles to cover most types of driving...
I can not for the life off me get the wheel on screen to match my wheel inputs with the G920 & GHUB even after following your advice.
Sorry I can't help you out with this one John 😥 I haven't used my Logitech for at least a year now since switching to a Fanatec CSL DD, but you're not alone. I've had a few other people say the same thing over the past few months which leads me to believe that either RaceRoom or Logitech have changed they way they do things again which is a bit frustrating, especially since I can't go back and edit this video now. Have you tried asking around on the RaceRoom forums or Discord server?
Fantastic video
Thanks 😁 hope it came in useful!
Me trying to connect my g27 to play on a 4gb laptop 💻 😅 just to said ima pc simracer 😆
Cheeeeze 10 fps lol, ffb feel good too! can't wait to build my PC this year 😭
Well...it works I guess 😅 that's a start, although 10fps would make it a little difficult to control the car properly. RaceRoom is pretty good at running well even on older hardware, so try reducing the resolution and turning all of the graphics to low (especially shadows and number of visible cars) to see if that helps improve things.
@DDFRacer thanks for the details, i will check it out, ffb feel good. My PC case on the way 🙌
Dont worry about replying to this one Dan....but I used LGS.....and oddly, probably because I might have set something up wrong.....but for each car in raceroom I had to set the in game steering angle to 350 for each car or it didn't match up....
Again I might have set something up wrong....but this was after matching the settings for lgs in the video.....wasn't an issue of course.
But would be interested if it was something I missed . As I mentioned in my last comment , f1 2020 just wouldn't work right with the wheel
..but RRRE worked like a charm apart from having to change the steering angle to 350.
Either way....going from controller to a wheel, even though its a g29, was like might and day. Took a few days to get used too, but I'm now putting in quicker times than the controller and the feeling alone of driving most cars in raceroom and AC is so bloody addictive I cant stop using using it
You do realise by saying "don't worry about replying" that I'm going to reply, right? 😉
In all seriousness mate, sounds like you're having a blast despite a few technical issues with the rotation. How good does it feel when the wheel goes light over crests and gets heavy over bumps? When you get that vibration kick in when the tyres start to scrub? You're right when you say it's addictive 😁 and you'll suddenly find yourself enjoying cars or tracks that you never enjoyed before because now you can _feel_ them for want of a better phrase.
It was nice knowing you. Please promise me you'll come back at some point to say hi 🤣
@@DDFRacer haha cheers man....was all good, but moved onto new windows install...and followed this guide again but was still a bit off with the rotation until I turned the driver animation to match settings....now its amazing again and bought a few more cars.....still won't work with f1 2020 yet but I don't play it enough to bother working that out yet.
Hadn't been able to use it much since I got it but starting to get the feeling now and knocking my times down. And now extra excited for whenever the next community even happens as I won't feel like so much of a hazard
Many thanks for this, must admit the couple of tweaks made a difference for me. Can I ask on a separate issue. Six months ago you did a video on an ANSE3D wheel for your G29, but when I watch you, you are still using the standard wheel. I have been looking at the MVHStudios GT wheel, so I am just wondering what you think about upgrading the wheel in general terms.
Many thanks
Andrew
Hey Andrew, unfortunately the ANSE3D wheel cracked and had to be retired 😭 which is a shame because I absolutely loved that thing! It actually happened during the middle of recording my Stefan Bellof video if you want to go and see exactly what happened, but yeah, must have been a small crack which got worse over time due to the flexing. I'd still recommend one though, but make sure you don't get too rough or excited with it like I did 👍 although I can't fault the original G29 rim since it's made of very solid stuff.
@@DDFRacer many thanks for taking the time to reply, recently added the true brake to my G29 pedals and I have to say it’s the closest I have to driving a real car. Tuesday Thunder is a part of my week btw, I’m afraid I use it to see what times people are doing, to see how far away I am from being competitive! As per my school report, “needs more effort “! Thanks again for your videos, really appreciated. Andrew
Hello i don't understand One thing...With ghub wheel rotation set to 900 the game doesn't auto match correct rotation for car? I must change the Number on the ghub for every different car to have a correct wheel rotation?
Unfortunately it doesn't match the rotation, not from my latest experience at least. I've been using a Fanatec CSL DD for a few months now so can't comment on the latest releases of GHUB but when I was last using my Logitech wheel I had to manually set the degrees of rotation in the software depending on which type of car I was driving in RaceRoom.
I have followed this guide and yet my g29 still doesn't match up with the in game wheel?
I have changed the ghub rotation to suit the car yet it is still not matching.
Many thanks
That is very frustrating 🤔 seems like Logitech or RaceRoom may have updated their software _again_ since I made this video. Unfortunately I no longer use my G29 (upgraded to a CSL DD mid-2021) so I would recommend posting up on the RaceRoom forums or Discord to see if anyone still using a G29 might be able to help 👍
Hey thanks alot, will do.
1:54 Do I really need to ALT-Tab out of the game? R3E has a setting which matches the in-game wheel rotation to the rotation in the setup. If I then drive a car with a 540° rotation the soft lock enables when exceeding the rotation.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a way around this one, even with a fresh install of the drivers 😢 Logitech software doesn't connect properly with RaceRoom in terms of rotation for some reason, even with steering match enabled. The option in-game affects the visual rotation of the wheel but that doesn't always match up with exactly what's happening in the wheel. Best way to check is to set it to 900 in the software and then jump in something like the F2 or F3 car which is only around 360 in game. You'll be able to tell pretty quickly if it works or not as you'll hardly get any steering in the corners.
Thanks for the video. I'm using a diy hoverboard ffb steering wheel, and I have no force in the center position, the track texture and kerbs are felt, however the wheel does not load up as I turn into corners. Not sure if I am missing an obvious setting or if it is related to diy FFB Wheel. Any help would be greatly appreciate. NB! I have superb force feedback playing other titles ie, LFS and Assetto Corsa.
Going to be honest here mate, I have absolutely no idea how to help you 😅 sorry about that! Making a DIY wheel isn't a project I've ever taken on, all of my gear is either off the shelf or made my someone else so my knowledge of the technical side of things is very limited. You'd have much better success posting up on the RaceRoom forums or their Discord server 👍
Hi dan,
do you have any video for the iracing ffb?
Hey Daniel 👋 unfortunately I don't have a video for iRacing FFB as I'm no longer using my G29. I've upgraded to a CSL DD recently and am using the default recommended settings on the Fanatec forum. Sorry I couldn't be of any help!
Hey quick question.
The game recognizes my wheel but not my shifter and pedals.
Why could that be?
Hey mate 👋 sorry for the late reply! I'm not too sure why that would be the case, are the pedals and shifter detected by other sims or is this just a RaceRoom issue? Is the power definitely connected and the cables for the shifter and pedals secure in the wheelbase? Have you tried using the default profile for your controller in RaceRoom or tried creating a new one from scratch to see if that works too? Is the device properly calibrated in Windows? If all of these things check out then I'd suggest searching on the RaceRoom forums or posting up on their Discord server for some more help 👍
Hey, first of all thanks a lot for this Vid. I have a G293 and for some reason i have to put half the steering sense in logitech software for it to be somewhat accurate in raceroom, any idea why?
Ah I wish I could help you but unfortunately it's been a few years since I used my Logitech wheel or their software (upgraded to a Fanatec CSL DD) and even longer since I made this video 😅 so who knows what updates or compatibility issues may have creeped in since then. Your best best would either be the RaceRoom forums or Discord server 👍 I would imagine plenty of people would have the same wheel as yourself and might have encountered a similar issue who could hopefully point you in the right direction.
Hey !
I have tried the exact same thing you do , but my steering wil not match the rotation in game
Very strange 🤔 are you using Logitech Gaming Software or GHUB? I haven't used my G29 for over a month now (upgraded to a Fanatec CSL DD) so perhaps Logitech have released another update which has re-broken things again...
Hello!
I did everything just like you in the software and in the game too. But that thing that show you the strenght of the ffb just doesnot show anithing. And the ffb doesnot work if i go onto a curb or when i shift. So do you know what can be the problem? (Sorry for my bad English)
I'm not sure about this 🤔 I've heard a few other people mention this previously but I didn't find out if they fixed the issue or what they did to fix it. Your best bet would either be the official RaceRoom forums or Discord server 👍 also try completely uninstalling the Logitech software, restarting your PC and reinstalling it again if you haven't already tried.
@@DDFRacer no i didnt try to reinstall logitech software but i will soon
Great video
Cheers crunchie, hope it came in useful for you mate 😎
bro i would you to try this: set your ghub steering angle to 280/320 and then lower the steering lock in car setup of race room racing experience
to 11 or 12. now you have the same outcome but with faster steering response for those xtra 6 tenth. the standard steering response and turning angle is a bit slow and should be adjusted to your driving instead of adjusting your wheel to the settings of the game. Now because you only have an 280/320 steering angle you dont have to turn the steering wheel more than your arms can turn holding a steering wheel. so 280 degrees settings would only steer your wheel less than 180 degrees left or right wich is optimal for racing tbh. like the F1 cars. * this is something you can tinker with to own style or desires but too low steering lock makes a car way too snappy etc... have fun chasing your ghost *THIS APPLY ONLY FOR THE LOGITECH RACEWHEELS
Thanks for the tip 👍 it might work for some people but I'm not a big fan of it personally, it also depends on the car too. Single seaters generally have a much lower degree of rotation in the steering wheel since they're more nimble cars whereas older/historic cars like classic DTM or Group 5 have a much higher degree of rotation since you're applying constant but small corrections. Having a smaller rotation in one of these cars would make it _super_ twitchy and hard to control, as even a small correction can send the car into a pendulum effect and swinging from one side to the other. Smaller rotation can also induce oscillations in the steering wheel for cars that have stronger FFB effects making it start to shake violently from side to side.
That said, it's rare to use the absolute full lock available in a car unless you're at slow speed and navigating a super tight hairpin (Macau for example). Applying full or near full lock at normal racing speeds usually means you're scrubbing the tyres across the track surface and understeering like crazy, burning them up in the process. If you're feeling the need to apply that much steering lock then it's a good indicator that you're carrying way too much speed through the corner, and applying more lock beyond a certain point isn't going to give more grip, just increased tyre wear. Much better to use your feet to steer, reduce the speed and allow the tyres to grip up. They'll last longer and it'll be faster too.
@@DDFRacer true every car has different stiffness or steering angle but the standard settings for me are a bit too slow and pedal sensitivity way too high (snappy) and instant at 25%. standard are good for learning track and corners. after some practise you could try it out.
yes but in raceroom settings you could change steering sensitivity in advanced tab (50/100). higher settings brings more rumble in the wheels. set this to your likes BUT below 50 you get lag with steering (the real time steering goes off a bit for logitech wheels). i also set logitech software all my pedals very low 10% and pedal sensitivity to 0. steering sensitivity to 100, 280 degree and 40 spring (based on my own car) and boxed option on. (unboxed you feel the end of the rotation better but its also to your likes).
in game ffb page all pedal release and pressing to 0 because that gives you kinda real time pressing in game, less instant bursts when pressing the pedals. i adjust the steering wheel options in practise INGAME to the rotation that i adjusted in the logitech software and change lock from 16 down a bit (i run 11/12 but this is also desired to your likes). below 11 can end up in a crocodile. FFB multiplier with these settings (and i run some time on different tracks different cars) could be changed to around 1.4/1.5/1.6 but 1.6 does redline heavy on certain spots but also depends car. hint always set a button to ffb multiplier and the graphic for best settings.
ALWAYS build a setup based on the tyre info in garage after running at least 4/5 rounds. check the tyre info and remember the car behaviour. adjust the settings to your likes.
hint raise or lower SPRING RATE to start with if heat is an issue with standard settings and go from there. for me that totally works because heat is a neccesity in rrre.
and yes sometimes you go into a corner with too much speed and that is not even my issue, its the rotation of the wheel compared to the screen thats buggin me from the start with this steering wheel. i drive a car in real life and i tried to duplicate that steering so it felt more comfy for me and did went faster. i actually won a 40min race last night on redbull ring dtm2018 or 19 with the bmw m3 timo glock yellow car lol (ingame)
Hi Dan! Thanks! And now how to return to the default settings? I forgot all the numbers😭
Before you do this, make sure you save your profile first so you don't lose any settings like your keybinds or sensitivity/deadzones. If you go to the 'Control Sets' page you can select the default profile for your device and that should tell you what all the default numbers will be 👍
Hi there,I have a logitech driving force gt and my issue is the game detects my steering wheel,but not the pedals,even when I try to bind them and double click like other people say,still nothing,any help would be most appreciated thxs
Hey Chloe 👋 is the issue limited to just RaceRoom or is it the same across other sims too? If it's across all sims then it might be some kind of hardware failure or maybe even just a loose cable where the pedals connect, but if it's just RaceRoom then I would suggest selecting a new default profile in the Controller page instead of trying to modify your existing one and see if that fixes the issue.
hello. Im thinking of starting to play raceroom i just want to know one thing. Do i still need to change the wheel rotation with Ghub or now thats automatic? Thank u for the response.
Hey Diogo 👋 unfortunately I haven't used my Logitech wheel for about 9 months now so couldn't really say whether or not Ghub works properly with rotation at the moment. Sorry!
@@DDFRacer okok np ty for the anwser and keep the great work 👍👍
Great post and thank you. Dude..I do iracing and decided to try raceroom. Installed it yesterday. I have a logitech wheel that works awesome in iracing but in this sim I can not turn??wtf..i m in practice and I cant get the car to turn right or light sharp enough??
That's an odd one 🤔 did you find a solution yet? If not, it might be worth creating a new control preset from scratch instead of using one of the default control presets and seeing if that fixes it. If your wheel works elsewhere but not RaceRoom then it's definitely a RaceRoom issue although I wouldn't really know where to start. Your best bet would be to run a search or ask around on the Raceroom forums or Discord server 👍
i have a similar issue where i can only turn right and not left
my g29 is new and you said I need to match the steering angle with the steering of the car, so i do that but it still doesn't turn same time as in the game.
It may be possible that Logitech have updated their drivers and software (again) since I made this video over a year ago unfortunately. I would try setting your Logitech to maximum rotation (900) and see if that fixes the issue 👍 it's possible that the rotation now automatically matches.
@@DDFRacer well that doesnt work either
@@makkermoman8 ahh sorry mate, I'm all out of ideas then as I don't use this wheel any more 🤷♂️ your best chance might be looking on the RaceRoom forums or Discord
do you happen to know how to get the h shifter to work for the logitech g29 shifter
In the control options or gameplay options (can't remember which off the top of my head and currently away from the rig) there will be a way to set your gear shift method, either Automatic or Manual. There is also an option to 'Use H Pattern' or similar, make sure this is enabled too 👍
@@DDFRacer yeah thanks for the feedback i was kinda figuring you were gonna say that ive made it manual and checked the h pattern option for some reason it does not work i always have to use my paddle shifters i do not know if its due to the cars i am using in game are only paddle shifters or because my game is bugged
@@xDEATHCLINCHx that might be the issue actually. Even with h pattern enabled, you can only use the shifter in cars that actually have ah pattern gearbox. Which car are you using?
@@DDFRacer thanks for the help i figured it out it was what i was concerned about you can only use cars that have a h shifter inside the car i tested a bunch of cars out until i found a couple that were. majority of the cars are paddle shifters so its kinda hard tell which ones are h pattern lol
Hello
I have a problem with RaceRoom each time I launch RaceRoom I have to reconfigure the steering wheel keys. I don't know soft comes the problem I uninstalled the game 3 times nothing to do the keys are not registered. I have the G29 thank you for your help. I'm on a translator sorry Regards
Hey Scorpi 👋 that's a strange problem, I'm not sure what the solution is. I would recommend asking on the official RaceRoom forums or Discord server as there may be someone else who has experienced the same problem and could help.
@@DDFRacer Hello
Thank you for your answer I uninstalled RaceRoom which I put on disk C everything works. On Disk D is found Raceroom there my mark Reading error why I don't know? finally everything works now thanks again Regards
What is the name of the wheel you have in this video?
Very informative btw
I'm running a Fanatec CSL DD these days, but when I made this video I was using a Logitech G29 👍
How can I make the car faster to maintain the lead after overtakes Thanks!
If you have a car that's fast enough to take the lead, then you already have one that's fast enough to maintain it 😉 at that point it becomes about not making mistakes and defending properly.
my steering wheel doesnt show up on the control set im using a thrustmaster ferrari wheel
Not too sure what the issue is there unfortunately 🤔 never used a Thrustmaster wheel and I made this guide for Logitech wheels. I'd suggest asking for help on the RaceRoom Discord server or their forums if you haven't already tried 👍
Still cant get my steering wheel to match that or RaceRoom not matter what and only the Ghub software works, any ideas anyone??? also cant seem to use my wheel in the menus to scroll and there are no settings to do this
The menus in RaceRoom are all done through the keyboard and mouse as far as I'm aware 👍 much like rFactor 2, iRacing, Assetto Corsa and so on.
As for the steering rotation to match, I honestly couldn't say any more. I've heard a few people say over the past week or two that this is broken again, so perhaps Logitech have released a new update/patch which has caused this not to work anymore 🤷♂️ sorry I couldn't help you mate.
@@DDFRacer not your fault the video did help alot! Probably a logitech problem as you say, still a great video and well informative 👍
@@DDFRacer On the video option/advanced/steering animation/ match setup, it seems to line up the steering or is it just for visual?
Do you use UPS for your gaming pc?
No I don't use UPS, the power supply in my area seems to be very reliable 👍 although we do get some crazy storms in summer, although in that instance I tend to just switch everything off and wait until the weather has passed.
Right now I’m downloading it and have a wheel and pedals lol
Good luck mate, hope it all goes smoothly and you get RaceRoom up and running with your gear without issue 🤞 any problems then head on over to their forums and Discord server as there's plenty of people to help out if there's not already an existing topic which has a solution.
wait you can use a g27 shifter on a g29 wheel without adapter?
Yes 👍
ok thanks a lot
Did the socks come with the pedals ? 🧦
Last time I checked Fanatec weren't in the business of making socks 🤔
my wheel still doesn't match up with the wheel in game
Will need a few more details mate. Which wheel are you running? Which software are you running? Have you enabled the 'match rotation animation' option in your gameplay settings?
@@DDFRacer ah crap I must've missed that haha I'm using a g923 but I'll look for the match animation setting. Thanks!
@@austin2727 no worries 😉 let me know how you get on. If that's not the issue then I wouldn't be surprised if Logitech have updated the software and broken things again...
@@DDFRacer it was the animation setting! Thanks again :)
I can't open up the force feedback tab! Why?
No idea unfortunately, this isn't something I've ever heard of before 🤔 I would suggest searching on the RaceRoom forums to see if anyone else has had the same problem.
Alguien sabe Prq si giro el volante la animación del juego no queda a la par???
Lo siento si esto no tiene sentido, no hablo español, así que estoy usando Google Translate. Han pasado muchos años desde que utilicé el software de Logitech, por lo que lamentablemente no sé si se actualizó recientemente. Sin embargo, hay una configuración en RaceRoom que debe activarse para que coincida con la rotación del volante. Si esto no funciona, es posible que deba reinstalar el software de Logitech. Espero que puedas entenderme y que mi respuesta tenga sentido para ti.
Help, I got a DFP
I've never used the Driving Force Pro so, unfortunately, can't really help you out too much 🤔 I made this video before the new models of Logitech wheels were released. I'm sure there's another guide by someone else out there 👍
me still using Logitech profiler on a old Driving Force GT hahahahah
Hey Marco you know what mate, if you enjoy it and you get a big smile on your face when you go sim racing then who cares what wheel you're using 😁 absolutely nothing wrong with Logitech gear though, it served me well for nearly 15 years! Their software on the other hand...
@@DDFRacer i bought it in 2009 .. saw lot's of use on my ps3 and pc, from gran tourismo to F1 games , wrc games , dirt games ( especialy dirt 3 and 2.0 ), Eurotruck and many many others, always did his job and never let me down
Why I have 10kg BoP when I doing single event?
Are you using any kind of driver assists? For example traction control, abs or steering help? These usually add ballast if the car doesn't have it by default 👍
I cant even play the game. When i select car and track and try to race, the game loads for a few seconds and goes straight back to the menu.screen. Stuck in that same loop. If this cant get resolved the damn game will be uninstalled. No wonder the game is free.
Have you tried again and had any success? Sometimes the servers can be a bit hit and miss with RaceRoom unfortunately, I've had that issue a few times as well and usually it's just a case of hanging fire and giving it another crack later. If you're still having no joy, it might be worth posting up on the RaceRoom forums to see if anyone else is having the same problem or can help you out. Just because it's free doesn't mean it's crap 😉 it's just their way of doing things. Let anyone try the base content and then the addtional cars/tracks are extra.
@DDF Racer thanks for the reply. I did try many times with no success. I've uninstalled the game. I see no point of wasting my time with it, when they clearly don't care enough to spend time fixing their servers. Anyway, all the best 👍
Why mysteering wheel lock 180😅
It might just be a visual thing 👍 as far as I know in RaceRoom the visual animation is limited to only 180, even if the wheel is turning more than that in reality.
The game doesn’t say that my wheel is connected, Sadly.
Sorry to hear that 🤔 does the wheel work with other games or is it just RaceRoom specific?
my G-Hub does not recognize my G27, anyone an idea ?
Unfortunately the Logitech software has been updated several times since I made this video and I upgraded to Fanatec a couple of years ago so my current knowledge is pretty limited. Your best chance would be to post on either the Raceroom forums or their Discord server and hopefully someone can help you out 👍
@@DDFRacer very kind to take the time for that answer, thanks
a problem, my Logitech wheel is 270 degrees (Logitech momo)
Unfortunately that is the limit of rotation your wheel has been designed with
@@DDFRacer ok
@@DDFRacer but I found out that I can mod my Logitech momo to 900 degrees
My Logitech software is older than both of those shown lol.
That might be a problem then since this video is also a few years old too 😅 maybe you're running the _newer_ version? As far as I know, Logitech auto updates even if you tell it not to, which can be annoying.
@@DDFRacer It's the old G27 using "Logitech Profiler" -- it seems to work well with these settings even though there is no "Sensitivity" setting in the software. The degrees of rotation even works automatically.
2:45
yah nice im doing donuts and my wheel does absolutely nothing XD
Which car are you driving? If it's a front wheel drive TCR then that's quite impressive 😉 but in all seriousness, you shouldn't be getting any FFB doing doughnuts as the front wheels are pretty much stationary and the suspension wouldn't be under much load.
@@DDFRacer i should absolutely have ffb cause i have back wheels trying to push me forwards and cause im spinning id have other side under a load i absolutely should have feed back
@@DDFRacer actualy its super od how if u pump the gas pedal in mid corner u cant even feel that in this game xD
NOTHING can fix the the shitty heavy feel of that game. I will never play it again. Gran Turismo is not dead for me. I know people like to try and bury it. GT games are the best. Wreckfest is tits also. Dont listen to the haters.
Just wondering when was the last time you tried RaceRoom? They've made some pretty significant changes to the physics and FFB in the last year or so 👍 there's also live overlay you can use and buttons you can map to increase/decrease the FFB whilst driving and see exactly if it's clipping out your wheel or not (which would explain the heavy feeling).
@@DDFRacer 3 weeks ago or less. It feels heavy
@@jgbelmont fair enough mate 👍 no wrong opinions and no point doing something you don't enjoy.
AwwWwweeesoOOooomeee
Hope it comes in useful mate 😎
g29 feels vague. Nothing interesting
If you're used to a direct drive wheel, yes absolutely. If it's your first wheel coming from a controller or keyboard, it's probably quite impressive 👍 and as good as can be expected for entry level gear at that price point.
Solution: Switch to rF2. :D
Been there, done that 😉 although the FFB is rather nice, I decided to uninstall after 2-3 years of spending more time dealing with bugs and issues than actually racing.
if only everyone would understand what you're saying and finally stop moaning. 😉
I guess if you're *really* used to the old FFB and have based your driving style around it then it's going to take a long time to get used to 🤔 but ultimately it does feel much better in my opinion!
As a friendly comment from a big fan of yours, that happens to be an engineer, so got triggered LOL, it's actually N.m not n.M.
Newton is N, while n is for Nano.
Meter is m, while M is for Mega.
Cheers!
Ahh didn't you know, all the cool kids are measuring force feedback in nanomegas these days 😉
In all seriousness, thanks mate! You only make these mistakes once right 😅 I shall make sure this is fixed up for my CSL DD video next week.
@@DDFRacer hahaha yeah definitely.
I want a CSL DD bad man but the situation here in Lebanon now is catastrophic. (i know we have lots of us over there in Australia LOL). We have huge economic crisis and we can't even access our money in the banks, let alone ordering anything... 😥
its dec 2022 i have a G923 and RR didnt recongnize my wheel
Does your wheel work with other games? Is the power pack plugged in? Have you tried using the default wheel profile or deleted and created a new one? Have you tried posting up on the RaceRoom forums or discord server if none of the above work?
