The Logitech G29 and G920 are the same wheel inside. Two motors, gears, around 2 Nm of force. The G29 has PlayStation buttons, the G920 has the Xbox layout. In F1 2020 they take the same settings.
With so little force, the job is simple: keep the effects low so the little information the wheel has comes through clean.

If you want to compare with other wheels, the values for Thrustmaster and Fanatec are side by side in my F1 2020 wheel settings guide.
G HUB settings
On PC, set the wheel in Logitech G HUB before you start the game.
Operating range 900. Leave the wheel at its full range. The game limits the rotation by itself for the F1 car. If you also cut it in G HUB, the two limits work against each other.
Sensitivity 50. This is the linear setting. Above 50 the wheel reacts more around the centre, below 50 it reacts less. You want the same response everywhere.
Centering spring strength 20. The game controls the force feedback, so this value does very little once you are on track. 20 is a safe number.
Pedals at 50, combined pedals off. 50 is linear again. Combined pedals puts throttle and brake on one axis, which is for very old games. With it on, you cannot brake and use the throttle at the same time.
On PS4 and Xbox One there is no G HUB. The wheel runs at these defaults, so you only need the in game part.
Calibration settings
In Settings, Controls, pick the wheel and open Calibration.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Steering deadzone | 0 |
| Steering linearity | 0 |
| Steering saturation | 0 |
| Throttle deadzone | 0 |
| Throttle linearity | 0 |
| Throttle saturation | 0 |
| Brake deadzone | 0 |
| Brake linearity | 0 |
| Brake saturation | 0 |
Everything at 0 means the game does exactly what your hands and feet do. That is what you want.
The brake pedal fix
The Logitech brake has a rubber block inside. The first part of the travel is soft, then it gets very stiff. A lot of people never reach 100% and do not know it.
Check it in the calibration screen. Push the brake as hard as you would in a real braking zone and look at the bar. If it stops at 80 or 85, raise brake saturation until the same push gives you 100. Do not go further than that, or you will lock the fronts with a light touch.
Force feedback settings, and why
Strength 60. It sounds low for a weak wheel. It is not. If you push it high, the wheel reaches its maximum in a medium speed corner and has nothing left for a fast one. Every corner feels the same weight. At 60 you keep a difference between a slow corner and a fast one, and that difference is the information.
On track effects 20. Bumps and surface. On a gear driven wheel a high value turns into rattling, because the gears have some play.
Rumble strip effects 25. Enough to know you are on the kerb. Not so much that it covers the rear tyres on the exit.
Off track effects 20. You know when you are on the grass.
Wheel damper 5. A little weight so the wheel is not loose on the straight. More than this and the wheel is slow when you need to catch a slide.
Understeer enhance off. It makes the wheel go light when the front slides. On this wheel the force is already light, so I would rather keep it honest. If you really cannot feel the front go, turn it on and see.
Maximum wheel rotation 300°. The game default is 360°. At 300° you turn the wheel a bit less for the same corner, which helps in hairpins and chicanes where the Logitech is slow to turn by hand. If the car feels nervous on the straights or in fast corners, go back to 360°.
What to change when it does not feel right
One change at a time, three laps each.
| Problem | Change | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Fast corners all feel the same | Strength down to 50 or 55 | The wheel is clipping |
| Wheel feels too light everywhere | Strength up to 70 | More force, but watch for clipping |
| Wheel rattles on the straight | On track effects down to 10 | Gear play turns road noise into rattle |
| Kerbs shake the whole desk | Rumble strip effects down to 15 | The effect is bigger than the grip signal |
| Car is twitchy in fast corners | Rotation back to 360° | Slower steering, calmer car |
| You lock the front tyres all the time | Brake saturation down, or brake linearity up 10 to 20 | The pedal reaches full pressure too early |
| You cannot reach full braking | Brake saturation up until a hard push shows 100% | The rubber block stops you short |
Clamp the wheel hard to the desk and stop the pedals from sliding. I know it sounds basic. A pedal set that moves 2 cm under braking costs you more than any slider on this page.

FAQ
What are the best F1 2020 settings for the Logitech G29?
Force feedback strength 60, on track effects 20, rumble strip effects 25, off track effects 20, wheel damper 5, understeer enhance off and wheel rotation 300°. In G HUB: operating range 900, sensitivity 50, centering spring 20.
Are the G29 and G920 settings the same in F1 2020?
Yes. The two wheels have the same motors, gears and pedals. Only the buttons and the console they work with are different.
Why is the force feedback strength only 60?
Because the wheel only has around 2 Nm. A higher value does not give you more force in the corners that matter. It only makes the wheel hit its limit earlier, and then you lose the detail.
What wheel rotation should I use on a G29 in F1 2020?
300° in the game for F1 and F2 cars, with the operating range at 900 in G HUB. If the steering feels too quick, use the game default of 360°.
Why can I not reach 100% brake on my Logitech pedals?
The rubber block in the brake pedal makes the end of the travel very stiff. Raise brake saturation in the calibration menu until a hard push shows 100%, or mount the pedals so you can push harder without them sliding.
Do these settings work with the Logitech G923?
The G923 uses the same motors and gears, so I would start from the same values and adjust from there.
