    Too rough sounds a bit far fetched. I don't use my the often, generally only the Sunday night league races and various other weekly community events, so I doubt it would be "too rough".

    As for resetting, I guess it's possible, however mid race it would have cost me more by resetting my wheel than just dealing with it

    Well I reckon I'm not rough with my wheels but you only have my word on that. Then again my second wheel was stuffed straight out of the box and I remember someone else (was it Ragoo?) having their first wheel with the same share/option/PS button activating problem within the first few days.
    I understand that you are having no issues with your wheel mate but these things definitely do have issues and it's not like we're kicking the things to get some more speed out of them (tried it, doesn't help)

    No, Sorry, wasn't saying you WERE being too rough, just it seems so weird that alot are having issues yet mines been going so well. I've seen how some treat their wheels in the past, so was always an option. Sorry if i sounded judgemental. My first wheel years ago may have been dropkicked after FFB cut out half way through Brands Hatch in my 2nd season of ROOZ, so i'm no saint :p
    Logitech are normally known for their outright reliability being more than rocksolid, so just a wonder why this one has fallen apart to me

    My G27 is wobbling about like it's got a soft spring rate, it's strange as it was like that since I can remember and driving on Mint's G27 was a wake up call. I hope there isn't a problem like that with the G29. But yes generally if you're rough with it, and smashing the paddles, damage is inevitable.

    Yeah funny thing is I only used the paddles in menu screens as I had the shifter. I only realised in tuning screen of PCars, then tested it in race after.

    You'd think when they made the g27 look prettier (g29) they would fricken bring the reliability with the thing hey

    Had same shifter up issues last night and once I realised I had no chance of getting a decent result last night, I did what @Beau_Albert suggested by changing channels between ps4 and PS3 to reset the wheel. Seemed to work alright for all of 3 shifts. Logitech will be receiving a very angry email/message from me tonight

    I'll really just be asking for a new wheel, or that they fix my current one. It's under warranty, they have to do something

    May take him a little time to adapt..... he may not be quick straight out of the box...... crap... that's wishful thinking isn't it? Yeah i think so..... :unsure:
    Best hope he doesn't quite have the same edge over the competition as he has on GT6 in the last 12 seasons!

    I don't know. Depends whether Div 1 in season 9 has decent numbers. Only 7 or 8 in every race is a downer, but the same happened in pcars Div 1 to.

    I don't know what a tittle is, but I like the sound of it.

    So i emailed Logitech last week asking for a fix to my wheel issues. They suggested I plug in my wheel to the PC and open up the config, which i did. Had a look at the indicators that flash when you push a button, and my up shift paddle was flashing twice for every time i used it (hence where my wheel issues were coming from). I was flashing once as i pulled it, and then flashed again once i released, as opposed to the downshift paddle which illuminated once i pulled it, and then went out once i released it (e.g, only flashing once). Sent them an email back saying that it wasn't a software issue, but a hardware issue with the paddle. Now i will wait for a few days, and hopefully see what there response is, and hope they agree there's a fault, take it away and give me a new one/repair my current wheel.
