Hey all,

very new to simracing, only really started in project cars 2 last week. I bought a G29 second hand off ebay. It seemed to work for a while, but soon it developed a problem where suddenly the wheel became very stiff, stop being centred until eventually it would stick to one side permanently, until I unplugged it then plugged it back in.

This happens randomly. Sometimes, it will work perfectly for one race. Then it becomes very stiff and starts handling awfully, eventually off-centring entirely to one side.

Has anyone had this issue before? I've tried looking on the internet, but I can't seem to find anyone with a similar problem. I thought it might be that the power cable was disconnecting on a violent turn, but I've tried re-cabling it so that the cables fit in nicely, which didn't make a difference.
 
Sorry to hear, but I started having similar intermittent issues with mine (after about 5 mins of use, sharp movement would activate the "Option" button) in the 2nd year. I found that if I pulled it apart and re-seated all the molex connectors it would work for a little bit longer. I'm suspecting the intermittent nature of my problem is actually due to some board issue or maybe an EM interference problem. But in all honesty, mine NEVER worked properly so it could be anything.

I've had three other great Logitech wheels, but I'm done with them now. The G29 completely soiled me on them.
