pasztet_blr Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I'd like to ask G29 owners. Is it good? Or maybe there is a better wheel for ETS2? Right now i have 9 y.o. wheel with somewhere around 120° degrees turn and its already malfunctioning (its painful to use) :c // Steam || YouTube || Telegram @pasztet_blr || Discord pasztet_blr#5988 \\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Business Analyst Jeroen Posted December 30, 2019 Business Analyst Share Posted December 30, 2019 It's really good. I use it all the time when I'm playing ETS2/ATS. It's easy to set up, once done it's only plug and play. The quality is really good as well, so all I can do is recommend it. You can also buy the G920, it just depends on which one you prefer.

I watched at the online shops, and couldn't find any differences between G29 and G920 except for wheel diameter. G920 is bigger and thats all? // Steam || YouTube || Telegram @pasztet_blr || Discord pasztet_blr#5988 \\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G920 is bigger and thats all? No, their physical characteristics are identical. The only difference is their appearance and the fact that the G29 was specifically made for PlayStation 3 and 4 and the G920 was made for Xbox One. The G29 has a few extra buttons that may be useful, but that depends if you use them or not. I personally don't really use the extra buttons (check image below for a comparison), but I know some people use the +/- buttons to change cruise control speed and the red turning wheel to change radio volume. Both wheels are compatible with PC, so if you only use the wheel for PC gaming I'd definitely recommend buying the G29. But if you have a PlayStation or a Xbox and you want to use the wheel for the console as well, you have to make a choice because they're each only compatible with one specific console.

Juαn.Cruz Σ #00 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I personally use a G920 + Shifter and both are nice. I'm really happy with these. I bought it two years ago and I'm not having any problems for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hai, As stated above it is an easy whee to set up in game and use, I use the G29 and shifter in ETS2, and it is really good! I reccomend it. You can get either wheel but its up to personal preference! Kind Regards, JamesS014 TruckersMP Patreon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsMeerken Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I've been using the G29 for over a year now, and absolutely love it, I'd highly recommend it!

Space Night Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I'm lying in bed waiting for 0530 and came across this thread, I have a g29 and it works great. Lots of functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellekerell Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I've got a G29 Set (the wheel + pedals) in early 2019 and I'm very happy with those. They are definitely high quality products and it's a pleasure to use them. Sadly I couldn't yet get my hands on a shifter but I will definitely do that soon! As others already said, the extra buttons on the G29 are actually quite useful. I personally use the "enter" button as a horn, the red ring to set the speed of the cruise control, + and - on the left side as to change from drive mode to neutral to backwards (driving real automation) The wheel itself has nice clips with which you can mount it to your desk whenever you want... There is one thing though I don't like too much: The cable of the pedals leaves the pedals at the back. I personally have my pedals in front of a wall so that cable basically directly hits the wall... The problem starts with the brakes which you will need to use quite a lot and also heavy (especially with the Winter Mod) which is why it feels like that cable gets pressed towards the wall and is then between the pedals and the wall itself. The cable is not too thick so I'm scared of the cable just getting destroyed but after 1 year I didn't have an issue with that! Let's hope it stays like that. Overall though I can just recommend the G29, it's an awesome wheel and the 450° rotation in both directions is enough to have lots of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctover Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The G29 imho is a huge rip off. I have the G27 which is basically the same but comes with shifter. I'd recommend trying to find a G27, you'll save money and get a wheel that is just as good and wont have to start looking for a shifter to go with it.

Well, G27 has its buttons near gear shifter which is kinda new. I have all buttons on my old wheel on it. G29 is more familiar to me, as it has everything on itself. But anyway, thanks for your opinion! // Steam || YouTube || Telegram @pasztet_blr || Discord pasztet_blr#5988 \\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably a great wheel, but considering how much the 27 was and how much more you got for your money i think its a bit cheeky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellekerell Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Mhm, for me it personally feels like the G29 is definitely the better option as of right now... For me it feels like a higher quality product than the G27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beenz. Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hi @pasztet_blr, The G29 is a great wheel but I would rather the G27. I feel it looks nicer and the buttons are in a better layout.

Nelicopterr Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 The g29 is a good wheel as is the g920 which is the one I use. The g29 is made for compatibility with the playstation whilst the other xbox. I would lean more towards the g920 just because it has caused less problems for users since the compatibilty with Windows is better. But then if you want to use a playstation with your wheel by all means go with the g29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brida91 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 G29 is a nice wheel, i like much the buttons available because i can control much function of truck as.. turn right/left, lights, engine, retarder, cruise control, visual and range-splitter gearbox with optional gear box. I no have compatibility problem with windows, only thing i not like is the gear box is optional but in g27 is a part of the wheel. #drivesafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaper9518 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Yes indeed it is good, but unfortunately I do not have one. A while ago I had G27 the gameplay of the G27 was excellent and now I only play on Xbox Control, I plan to buy a G29 soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caramba2412 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Yes, I recommend G29 and G27 handlebars because they are very well made and have similar parameters. Regards! Greetings, Caramba2412 TruckersMP Support Team Leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaming. Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I love the G29, especially with the H-Shifter it is such a realistic experience. I have a TrackIR in the mail which should be coming within the next few days to make an even more realistic driving experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
