UPDATED: Logitech G29/G923/PRO RACING WHEEL Support Compromised on Windows 10/11

UPDATED 2022-11-28: Nice catch from our user, to get your rev-led ready for SLIMax Manager Pro do not install G Hub but “Logitech Gaming software” (LGS). The steering wheel driver is correctly installed even if LGS indicates no usb device detected after installation (it’s safe to uncheck run at startup in LGS settings and exit).. Follow these links below to download the corresponding version:

Windows 10/11 64-bit
https://download01.logi.com/web/ftp/pub/techsupport/gaming/LGS_9.04.49_x64_Logitech.exe

Windows 8/7 64-bit
https://download01.logi.com/web/ftp/pub/techsupport/gaming/LGS_9.02.74_x64_Logitech.exe

Unfortunately there’s a significant issue with G HUB driver on Windows 10/11 which prevent to get access to the rev led (shift-lights) features from SLIMax Manager Pro or from game apps. Sometime this is working after uninstalling G HUB or just quitting G Hub but most of the time it doesn’t work. however, everything is working as expected on Windows 7 using G HUB for Windows 7. G27 use its own driver and not G HUB so it works.

for nerds/geeks: the issue is certainly related to a wrong report from the G Hub driver to windows of the length of HID OutputReportByteLength… and if you’re lucky quitting the G Hub restore the correct number and matches the HID Report registered by windows… writing to usb device in this case works as expected…

Any G-Hub bypass/workaround is welcome, if you found a reliable way to use the Rev LED with our software, contact us

This was a lucky day πŸ™‚

[Pedals Set MOD] G.Thrust-natec or G.Fan-master?

Hi,

you get bored with your (too good) HE PRO or Sim3Pedal !
need to feel the good old days…

or simply pacing like a caged lion (maybe sick of working from home! )?

okay, don’t worry, here’s some cool stuff for you!
go to your kitchen (i.e. garage)
and prepare the diner (i.e. make a hardcore pedals set mod).

first, rummage through getting some broken, not functioning, unreliable, soft like “caramel custard” (flanby) parts from your old G25/27, T3PA Pro, CSP V1/V2, CSL Elite,…

 

 

then do your magical mix!

adding some screws, nuts, washers, a bit of elbow grease as usual in DIY project!, also a bit of 3D printing and after some hard work, feel happy like a teen getting his first date and get a pretty decent pedals set:

okay now the big challenge!
try to get a T.RJ12 USB adapter….

damn’! out of stock worldwide…

anyway, if you can’t find it use the big USB adapter provided with your T3PA Pro:

(no error here, the dust on it is also part of the adapter! keep it to increase reliability)

That’s it!

πŸ˜‰

Cheers,
z
