G29 Shifter doesn’t work with Forza 7 on XBox

Kayak Killer184 · Dec 12, 2017

Can anyone give me some guidance in using the G920 wheel and G29 shifter with Forza7/6/3 on an Xbox console? The wheel and shifter is recognized and works with Project Cars 2 but only the wheel and pedals work on the Forza games.

I have tried the three button reset, a new shifter, installed the app on my PC and it recognizes all three prices (ruling out a bad shifter port on the wheel). Am I missing something? Is the shifter supported in Forza 7?

Logitech confirms new G920 wheel for Xbox One

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...-ps4-and-reveals-a-new-xbox-one-contender-too

The G29 starts shipping in July. Both units will cost £299.99 - a significant price point, but one that puts it in line with Thrustmaster's top-end console wheels. Like them, both the G29 and G920 will have a separate stick shifters should you want to go beyond the paddle shifts on the main unit.

It seems likely the Xbox version will be around the same price and it doesn't release until October.

I have a ps4 logitech g29

It doesn't seem so, as according to the
official product page, the steering wheel is only officially compatible with the PS3, PS4, PC, and Mac. It doesn't seem to be developed with any Xbox support in mind.

You could try Forza on PC, if that's an option available for you.

The April xbox update killed the Logitech shifter in forza horizon 4 and forza 7

Others and I reported this to MS recently, but no fix as of yet. - https://forums.forza.net/t/wheels-logitech-g29-shifter-not-detected/599505

My racing sim setup at home uses both those games and was working fine up until the April xbox one update.

Now my racing sim setup is useless to me, I'm stuck playing forza 6 till MS fixes this issue if they ever do

Hello,

I purchased the Logitech G920 Driving Force Steering Wheel that comes with the floor pedals. I have it hooked up to my Xbox One. The paddle shifter works great when I play Forza Horizons 2 but the paddle shifter does not
work at all on Forza 6 or Forza 7. The car shifts gears automatically which I do not want. On these 2 games the steering wheel works fine as well as all of the buttons but I just can't get the paddle shifters working. I believe I have it configured properly
in the controller set up page. Is there a glitch that anyone knows of? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello Mindope. Sorry to hear you're having this problem. I have the a steering wheel myself for Xbox and the only way for me to get it to work is if I open the game using the controls on the wheel itself. Let me know if this works for you.

Hi, thanks for the suggestions, however the shifter works perfectly fine with Forza horizon 3.

I've been experiencing the same problem as you for almost a month now.

I've deducted that the April update seemed to accidentally turn off shifter functionality for Forza Horizon games.

I've had no problem using my Logitech shifter for Forza Motorsport 6, so I doubt there is an issue with the shifter itself.

I tried to report this issue to Forza Support, but I have received very little communication back.

To whomever operates quality assurance or bug testing, could you please look into this matter?

I had no problem using my shifter with Forza Horizon 4 before the April Xbox update.

Many other people are experiencing this issue thinking something's wrong with their $100+ equipment when this issue only recently started persisting.

Cleaning, reconfiguring, or unplugging anything has done nothing to solve the problem. The shifter works just fine with non Playground developed racing games.

It’s the shifter but I found out it is not compatible with forza horizon 4 now I’m just looking for games that are compatible with the shifter as well as the wheel
