3.2. Programming Gear Assignments (Logitech Gaming Software)

The gear shift positions on the Driving Force Shifter can be programmed using Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) for PC. When you launch LGS with the G29 connected and select the Driving Force Shifter, you will be prompted to assign commands. Commands cannot be assigned to buttons 13 through 18.

If your game supports DirectX button assignments, the shifter positions can be programmed in the game. The table below shows the default DirectX button values for the shifter positions in each wheel setup:

4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Logitech Driving Force Shifter, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Keep the shifter clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Logitech Driving Force Shifter, try the following troubleshooting steps:
