Hey everyone. I have a problem with GT7 playing on the Logitech steering wheel, namely the gear shift does not work when the gearbox is switched to manual. The paddles are set and in the menu they normally work like the L1 and R1 buttons, but they don't work just during the race/challenges, it looks as if the game did not see them then. In the controller settings I tried changing to L2 and R2 but that didn't help either. Has anyone had a similar problem or know how to deal with it? I checked in history, but I did not saw such a subject posted yet. Wheel is Logitech G923, im playing on PS5. 2

I’ve had issues with mine in certain parts of the game also. I know it won’t work in sport. I can go test it and it all works, it’s weird.

He doesn't mention an H shifter. @Marcusss97 is it your paddles or is it the separate H shifter that aren't working?

What car? Is it all cars?

Yes, sorry I didnt mentioned it. These are factory paddles on the steering wheel, I dont have a separate H-Shifter. I havent checked all the cars which I have until now, but I think all of them, because it didnt worked in one of music races, in 2 of challenges in 2 different cars and i 1 normal race. As I wrote, I tried to change gearbox to other buttons and it doesnt help so maybe its not fault of paddles or steering wheel but something is wromg with the game. I need to check how it looks on gamepad, Im worried that I will have to reinstall the while game :/

I have a Logitec G29 and a H-Shifter so not sure if this also applies to you without the H-Shifter but may help.

When you have a car that has a standard gearbox fitted, you also need to use the clutch pedal otherwise it will not change gears. If you have a racing gearbox it acts as a sequential and does not require the clutch (like paddles). That's my experience.

But I have read that if you have pressed the clutch pedle in a race, you then need to use it for the rest of the race regardless of any settings. I'm not sure how true that is as I haven't tried that out, I'm also not sure how that would affect the paddle shifters too as they shouldn't need the clutch at all.

Hopefully this makes some sense and you can try these out.

After some time I tried to look if manual gearbox works on standard gamepad and yes, I can shift gears in every car (I guess). I tried to play with wheel in WRC 10 with manual gearbox and it also works in this game, so I dont really know where is the problem in GT7. As I wrote I tried to change buttons on wheel to shift but it didnt help, it just looks like game dont see it or dont allow me to use manual gearbox when wheel is connected. What is funny, it worked when my friend was playing on my wheel when I borrowed it to him and he played in several games like WRC, F1 and also GT7, I would like not to unistall the game but maybe it would help.
