Has anyone been able to successfully connect a Logitech G29 steering wheel and pedals to macOS Ventura yet?

It's supposed to work, it's one of the supported wheels but I plug it in and I don't get the Game Controllers option in System Settings, it's simply not there. The wheel is connected, it's listed and identified correctly under USB in System Information. If I try and select the wheel in ETS2 or ATS, again, it's listed but it doesn't do anything at all, none of the axis or buttons work.

I would expect this to show in System Settings first.

Thanks.

Answering myself.

Forty five minutes on live chat then an hour on a phone call with Apple support and the best they can say is "It might not be implemented yet".

Hello,

This video helped allot. Bare in mind a few devices are still unsupported, so keep checking for updates regularly.

Hope this helps.

That's a year old, it's nothing to do with native support in Ventura.

Have you tried to install the Logitech Gaming Software?
Yes. It doesn't work.

Even if it did, that's not the native support that was promised. The way this is supposed to work is that the wheel is connected to the Mac, it appears in Game Controllers and it works without any additional software.

Apple promised support for gaming in macOS? That must be a recurrent joke among Apple’s top executives :)

LogiWheelForceFeedback.kext is loadable but, LogiWheelDriver.kext can be loaded only with SIP disabled. I’ve tried in Ventura 13.2.1/Intel

And then it still doesn't appear under game controllers in system settings, you still don't get the full 900° rotation and games don't recognise it properly.

I installed the RC of macOS Sonoma and this still hasn't been implemented.

This is with my Logitech wheel connected.

I guess we're never going to get this native support that was promised :mad:
We're at Sonoma 14.5 now and it's still not there.
