How To Calibrate Logitech G29 on PS5

Your Logitech G29 has to be set up before running on a PS5 to ensure flawless operation. Connect the wheel to your console with all cables and settings in their appropriate places. Once connected, the wheel automatically calibrates by centering and aligning the steering. Then open a racing game compatible with the G29 and access its controller settings. 

Adjust in-game settings like steering angle, force feedback, and pedal sensitivity to match your driving preferences. Finally, practice sessions are a great approach to evaluate your configuration and enhance the experience. Follow these simple instructions to calibrate the Logitech G29 on the PS5 for smooth and intense gameplay. If issues persist, consult trusted PS5 repair experts to diagnose hardware-related problems affecting performance.

Steps to Calibrate Logitech G29

Use these step-by-step instructions to correctly center, initiate, and adjust your G29 on your PS5 console:

1: Connect the G29 to Your PS5 Console

Double-check all hardware connections are secure before powering up the PS5. 

• Start by plugging the USB cable of the G29 racing wheelbase into a matching USB Type-A port on either the front or rear side of the PS5. 
• Then, connect the pedals onto the wheel base using the proprietary connector at the bottom. 
• To connect the wheel base, plug the power adapter into an active wall outlet or surge protector. 
• Lastly, ensure the toggle switch at the top of the wheel base is set to “PS4” mode.

Since the G29 does not have a PS5 mode available, it must be configured into PS4 compatibility mode to be correctly identified by PS5 systems and games.

2: Allow Automatic Calibration

After you connect everything, turn on your PlayStation 5. If the G29 senses power, it will start an automatic calibration. During the calibration, the wheel will move to the left, to the right, and then back to the center. Do not interfere with the wheel when calibrating to maintain an accurate internal wheel alignment. 

If the wheel does not perform this calibration process, it may indicate an issue with the power supply or the USB connection. Disconnect the power and USB cables, reconnect them, and restart the PS5. Ensure the switch is in the right position and the wheel is on.

3: Run A Compatible Game

Many PS4 racing games are compatible with the PS5 and the Logitech G29 with backward compatibility. Some popular examples are F1 23, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Gran Turismo 7, Dirt Rally 2.0, and Project CARS 2. Using PS5 controls, start your game, then open the wheel or controls settings menu. 

Several games provide detailed tuning options to set pedal response and wheel behavior in the setup menus, which you can customize to match your requirements. You can tune the steering rotation angle (usually limited to 900 degrees), level of force feedback, steering sensibility, the dead zones of the pedals, and the response curves.

For example, in Gran Turismo 7:

• Go to “Settings,” then select “Controllers,” and choose “Steering Wheel Settings.“ You can adjust force feedback torque, maximum rotation angle, and pedal response from there to match your driving style. 

Similarly, in F1 23:

• Go to the “Game Options” menu, then select “Controls, Vibration & Force Feedback.” 
• Choose your Logitech G29 wheel profile and change settings like steering linearity, brake saturation, and throttle response.

Proper calibration helps create a more realistic driving experience. Test each customization, making small adjustments until you achieve the desired output. Different games may require different adjustments, so customize the wheel settings individually for each game.

4: Test Your Calibration Settings 

Once you adjust your game’s settings, run a trial or practice on a specific track to test how sensitive your wheel and pedals are. Monitor whether the on-screen steering corresponds to your inputs. Your vehicle may oversteer or understeer depending on how far you turn the wheel, so adjust the steering sensitivity or linearity accordingly.

Adjust the pedals’ saturations or dead zones to overcome excessively sharp or slow brakes or throttle. Changing the in-game settings could eliminate various calibration problems. Remember that the calibration does not work the same for all games. Different tracks, cars, and game settings all affect your controls. Try different calibration options to find the one that suits your gaming style.

Conclusion

Correctly calibrating the Logitech G29 significantly affects the game response and experience. Begin by securing all physical connections and configuring the wheel to PS4 mode. Turning to each side and back to center, the wheel auto-calibrates after powering on. After calibration, run a game and explore its settings. 

Adjust key controls like pedal zones, rotation range, and steering sensitivity. Then, adjust the new settings according to your gaming style for better response. Following these simple instructions, you can calibrate Logitech G29 on PS5 for smooth gaming sessions.
