This is a fantastic setup. I loved mine and used it for about 3/4 of a year until the wheel starting shorting out during turning. Known problem with no fix. Upgraded to a Logitech G920 and kept the side panel. love it.
if you are a little good at repairing stuff you can easily fix the wheel, when it breaks. Its the wires inside that break, i replaced mine at it has worked in over a year now, and with all most 900 hours of use
@@noodlemedia2049 yes you should be able to solder them inside again but you have to replace the wiring that goes from the base up in the wheel or it will break again in the place you solder it
This setup is awesome for Farming Simulator, for the few hours you will get out of it before something breaks. This is all Saitek quality with a Logitech logo on it. Had one myself, lasted about 5 hours until the steeringwheel stopped working. Please check out reviews on Amazon or something before buying this, considering about 50% of ppl there had a similar experience as I had
Best thing to do with the wheel is put it in the bin! I've had two and both failed within 6 months of purchase, same problem on both.. The cables inside the axle for the wheel twist become frayed and short out. The side panel is a good addition but one of the potentiometers for the joystick has a habit of being unresponsive during to the cables being too short and getting pulled out. Get a g920 and keep the panel.
This comment may not reach you or mean anything, but I needed to box up my bundle set (I’m moving) and this was actually super helpful - I just followed your process in reverse. Thanks! 😀
U shouldn’t use it it gives trouble after a month I’ve had 3 replacemts sent to me and all stopped working but now I have the Logitech G29 with the side panel and it works amazing
Thank you for this video. Nice to see what it actually looks like. I have an old Driving Force GT but my daughter has been really getting into Euro Truck Sim 2 and trying to share one wheel between two PCs is getting to be a hassle so I'm likely going to just hand down my DFGT to her and get something new for myself. I had considered buying this set and just using the wheel for other games as well even though having no force feedback on this would be a big minus, but it looks from the comments here that this wheel isn't made to last. I will likely just get the G29 then and buy the panel on its own. Thanks so much! This video and the comments really helped me come to a decision!
That works just like the PS4 controller if you want the lights to work you got a hold down (R) one or one under the steering wheel and press the 4 button which would be the (O)on a PS4 controller the blinkers would also be (R) one or one which underneath the steering wheel and on the left side would be the right arrow or the left arrow as it would be on the PS4 controller that works exactly like what I have and this is the reason I wanted to watch the video was because it’s hard to operate logging equipment with a PS4 controller and that looks like that side panel will do just the job so much appreciate you put this video on here
I hope in a bit Logitech takes this seriously and makes upgraded versions. 4 pedals and a proper joystick would be fantastic. Logitech does a decent job. I have to stick with my g29 wheel though...
@@tommelitn5017 Well I wouldn't say that because there are blatant quality improvements on the outside shown in the video. I'm hoping it will not carry the horror stories of unreliability from the old wheels.
Given how mine failed after a month of use with the potentiometer giving out, no. Waiting on my RMA to come in currently. Its a shame its so cheaply made, because it IS absolutely perfect for the game otherwise. Just needs maybe 1-2$ of investment in better components really.
@@Ethan-ck6iz I got this exact same wheel about 3 weeks ago, it lasted 5-6 hours. It looked identical, exept there was only a Saitek logo on it, and the only place it said Logitech was on the box. Pretty sure Logitech have done nothing to the wheel in the video, other then putting their logo on it. Kinda annoying because I rly enjoyed using it for the few hours it lasted. Find it surprising that Logitech wouldn't improve on it before selling it under their name, and out of atlest 30+ products I have bought from Logitech, this is the only one I've had quality issues with
It will be interesting to see if this new Logitech version will eventually require the same upgrade which I have made on a number of the the old Saitek wheels........all of which are still going strong at 1000 hours/2 years plus.
Hey it's a long time when you uploaded this video and i'm wondering to buy this equipment. My only problem is that this deadzone can be configured to like real time movement? Cuz how that works in your video kinda sucks, you move like 5 cm and after that wheel in game starts turning. That can be changed or not? (Sorry for my English).
Update. As for now. No issue with side panel but wheel has a problem. When i turn right it turns instantly but when i turn left you need to turn your wheel like 2 cm to work and at Center it moves to right a little so i need to hold the wheel. I'm thinking about upgrade to Logitech G27/G920 with 6 gears or Truthmaster TMX Pro with 7 gears.
Nice video simul8. I originally had saitek wheel and side panel but steering wheel broke after 8 hours of use, now I have logitech g920 and the side panel
They send you out a kit like this to review and you dont even bother with the side panel, some of us are coming here to see a full review of this new kit.
I like the sidepanel but the wheel is abit to plastic for me also when i use it for other games then farm sim but I do like the thumb sticks on the wheel so I have to have my controller next to me aswell when i play and yes its a cable mess on my desk but thats how it is
Better to use a racing wheel and pedals and the Logitech side panel only (you can buy separately), as the wheel is pretty flimsy and the pedals are small and flimsy (all plastic)
My Saitek branded wheel failed inside of three weeks, the replacement also failed inside 3 weeks - near as I could determine a counter clockwise turn between 90 and 360 degrees caused a short in the USB circuit and all other devices on the circuit would shutdown too (USB 2.0), moving the wheel to a sharper or shallower turn angle would reset the circuit. Today I still use the side panel, but I'm using a G29 wheel. I'll be interested to see if these Logitech branded parts have improved reliability over the old Saitek unit.
That's because it *is* cheap lol. Not talking about the price tag, though, obviously. This thing has "cash-grab" written all over it. With it being so easy these days to make your own button-panel encoders, buying low-quality, high-dollar packages like this is utterly senseless. It's pretty much like throwing your money in the garbage. You'd have to be the biggest dumbass in the store if you see that on a shelf and go "I simply must have one of those." lol Still not as bad as all the "Farming Simulator" or "American Truck Simulator" branded kits, though. If you buy a package like that for only one game, the only thing I could call you would be "sucker".
I know this video is several months old, but I have my fingers crossed for an answer: in the video, you briefly mentioned that you'd try to set up both panels for dual-stick control of the cranes and logging machines. Did you get that set up? Is it worth buying two for the ease of use/realism? Also, now that you've had the panels for a while, have you had any issues with breakage or parts not working correctly? Thanks.
Interesting that G25/7/9 and multiple others don't work on fs19 but the farm sim branded wheel works a treat right out of the box. Seems shady to me, giants trying to make a little extra scratch off this thing? none of the other farm sims had this many problems.
Does the side panel work out of the box as it did in FS15 showing what button number is used for whatever feature in your vehicle? FS17 didnt so that sucked.
This might be a bit uninformed question but why only 2 pedals? IRL many if not most tractors have 4 - clutch, left and right brake, accelerator. Does the farming simulator have an option to brake steer at all?
I love not having the gaming for life lifestyle so i just have a xbox so i can casualy play when i have time but they never make this for console, price wasnt even that jawdroping
I already have a G29 for my PS4, I wish they would just make the side panel. But of course they would have to change the game Settings to allow custom button assignments.
Charlie Ryan - the side panel does work on PS4... there’s a guy called William summing carnt remember but if u type in PS4 with siatek side controller he’s videos of it his works fine on PS4 he hasn’t tried wheel & pedals yet but side controller works on PS4 fine
Not sure if it does but if you are planning to use a wheel with FS and sim racing games get a G29 or G920 since those are designed for sim racing and also work with the side panel for FS.
my old wheel broke like a year ago and i saw this at the store but i think my desk is to thick i i couldnt find anything about it on the box but my desk is 12cm think becuse i have 2 large boxes
Moi je suis French moi demander comment mettre à jour le volant pour tourner les roues complètement sur Farming Simulator 22 sur le volant on se sert aussi pour O2 simulator j'ai un ami qui a tout déréglé le volant et j'ai pas leur en faire merci
I had the saitek wheel, and it had a horrible built-in deadzone. (In-game deadzone was 0 percent, but the wheel would still move two inches to either side before the game would respond.) It was so bad that I returned it after not even a week, and got the g29 instead. Has that deadzone been fixed on this new wheel? I'd love to be able to recommend it, as the rest of the setup was actually pretty good, but the deadzone I experienced was really horrible.
@@Simul8Gaming I'm getting disconnecting and stuttering when turning the wheel. My side panel twist on the joystick is always turning left in game and the wheel is shorting my while USB circuit !

Steeringwheel lasted for about 8-10h for me before it start unconnecting itself, total crap.
Does this work for all farming simulators

What is the size of the clamp for the desk
When it breaks, it's the wire bundle behind horn
I wish I could have packages sent to me lol idc if I need to return it after review or not
No you don't need to return it back.

Gazzathegamer you can hook side panel to Logitech wheel for Xbox
Lewis Mitchell can you really?
Lewis Mitchell can you do that
I Think you Can Try
Gazzathegamer Not herb
It's so nice! I'm really hoping to get one for christmas! :-))
SAME!
Logitech g920 And u can buy the sidepanel and pedals
I had this wheel for approx. 6 months and it developed a short in the wheel when turning. Good luck to you
You could probably just Bring it to a tech shop to fix it
Hey, people who know the answer please respond. How do i use this kit on need for speed or like forza?
It will be interesting to see if this new Logitech version will eventually require the same upgrade which I have made on a number of the the old Saitek wheels........all of which are still going strong at 1000 hours/2 years plus.
What upgrade?
Amazing Video Sim!
How much Money it cost?
The side panel is spot on but the wheel gets kicked out and knocked out all the other gear keyboard mouse etc but this looks different
I was looking into getting the side panel but heard many complaints about quality of the front plastic and buttons
Hey is there a steering wheel for farming simulator 2019 for Xbox one
Can you USE it ?
I think the panel is cool but just getting a joystick for flight sims would be a cheaper and better alternative in my opinion.
Yea I've been using a logitech extreme joystick with FS22 and it works great with my G27 wheel. Trying to keep the budget down lol
Could you show us all of your settings ingame for this bundle?? like what buttons do what and how you set up the joystick?
Nice video I have bought similar equipment yesterday. What do you think about using on ETS2? Thank you
The dead zone on the steering wheel does not go away, at least I tried
Does it work on xbox 1 and ps4 or could u try find out in the future
I would like to know this also lol
Same
it works for ps4 i dont know about xbox

Is this a new Version? I think I hust bought the Old one because it doesn't say: "Heavy Equipment Bundle". Please Help
If it's an saitek version it's the old one, since Logitech bougth saitek and they rebrand the product and made some little improvement

Looks very cheap I’d rather stick with the g920
Jimmy's Adventures its so poor quality i have one myself, i was so disapointed..

This is just the saitek wheel and side panel
That's what I was thinking
Because logitech owns saitek now. So yes it is
the button numbers 7 and 8 are turn signal
do you use both panels together or do you just use the new one?
I want one
My one question, if I have a g29, can I use the side panel seperately, for ETS2/ATS
Why do you have to turn the steering wheel 90 degrees before it registers in game
I can use that for my fire truck simulator (firefighters simulation game)

Where can you buy that knob what sits on your g29
Can be connected to notebook? (Acer nitro 5)

Is that 1 USB included with the panel or is it just the pedals and the steering wheel and then the panel is Separate?
