Deadzone Removal Range - 0.12(basically have to go all the way right or all the way left then come back to get the values)
Deadzone Removal Falloff - 0.06(only DRF allows increments possible of 0.00 [??? no idea why] and increments of 0.01)

Soft Clipping (Half Input) - 4.00 (basically have to go all the way right or all the way left then come back to get the values)
Soft Clipping (Full Output) - 8.19 (here 8.00 is not possible on CONSOLE...fine increments to available, huge jumps only possible...)

I did all my tests with BMW Z4 GT3 vehicle, with Jack Spade Classic settings.

• ZERO CLIPPING/ NO CLIPPING at all!
• of course, only BMW Z4 GT3 tested, but have to test with various cars and etc.
  
  • but so far across a good amount of GP and International tracks, I had NO CLIPPING at all.

so feel free to test it out and post what you think or if you had other issues or recommend other settings, questions, comments and more, hopefully to help each other out and new G29 owners.

Quickly, we can see the DRR is 0.16. For now, i'm keeping my stance for DRF where a ratio of 2:1 to 4:1 is good. So DRF between 0.04 and 0.08.

On the online version, the Scoops calculation brings the 2 values to Knee 0.38 while Reduction could move between 0.26 and 0.49.

However, take those with a grain of salt. I don't have access to a G29. I didn't test them.

This will be your job, happy G29 owners!

Cheers!

G29 on PS4 - default settings: (only setting I had changed was TIRE FORCE to 94) now trying to fine tune/ dial it in. (hard on PS4 since we do not have the increments available to us on PC...huge jumps on PS4 when you move the slider!)



this is the software (screenshots) for Logitech downloaded on their website, if anyone has a better website please do let me know.

64-bit version: http://www.logitech.com/pub/techsupp...4_Logitech.exe
32-bit version: http://www.logitech.com/pub/techsupp...6_Logitech.exe

since this is all new to me, I got wheelchecker from iRacing forum, here below also whoever needs it. (version 1.72)
WheelCheck_1_72.zip

if anyone has suggestions or recommendations please do let me know or us know in the G29 thread here and G29 users.

I still can't get the G29 to work with Pcars on the PC.
I think the Profile is bugged.
The biggest issue is none of the Cars Have the DOR set. (except the ones that are 900)

and cluch pedal doesn't work also.

do you think i should leave "Steering Deadzone=1" or change to "0"

hi @poirqc, thanks again for your help. I changed the following, and was wondering if you an give me tips, what do i need to look for to know it is better? feels better? FFB telemetry?

these are the values I changed:
Deadzone Removal Range = 0.16
Deadzone Removal Falloff = 0.04
Scoop Knee = 0.36
Scoop Reduction = 0.28

and Tire Force = 49 (this I had done before already)

so the increments are only possible, NO fine tuning like on the PC is possible on PS4:
1) if you put slider all the way left first, then come back, they go by 0.04, 0.4 or 4
2) if you put slider all the way right first, then come back, they go by 0.06, 0.6 or 6
only setting which goes by 0.01 is:
3) DRF (Deadzone Removal Falloff) - only setting where increments are by 0.01 and has positive "+0.00" and negative "-0.00" ??? is there a difference?

thanks again.

[rocafella1978]

so after going back and forth, not sure what to look for and how it should feel (guess that's the main problem...)
but this is what i found to work for me with (tiny bit of clipping, just don't know how to get rid of it in right hand turns...)

these are the values I changed and feels "good"? to me.
Deadzone Removal Range = 0.16
Deadzone Removal Falloff = 0.08
Scoop Knee = 0.36
Scoop Reduction = 0.30
