    So everything on my wheel works except for the pedals. When i hit the gas, nothing. brake, nothing. clutch, kinda works. The picture shows the default inputs, as you can see, without me hitting the clutch, it's at %50. The gas messes with the clutch input and so does the brake. My wheel has always worked until one day out of the random.

    Not sure what's going on.... so let's start from scratch:
    - First, make sure that you have disabled combined gas/brake pedals in the Logitech control panel configuration.
    - Then start BeamNG and click the "Revert" button in input menu, to go back to default bindings.

    Please let me know if it's still not working correctly after that.

    What you have to do is go on the logitech's website, and download the logitech gaming software for your g27 wheel.
    http://support.logitech.com/product/g27-racing-wheel
    Choose your os and if its a 32 or 64 bit and then download and install. then everything should work perfectly.
    i had the same problem but with a different wheel so maybe it wont work.

    Yeah, I've had the same problem (one of several problems).

    If this tends to happen independent of the game (meaning it's likely not a software problem), I would try to clean the potentiometers (blow, vacuum, whatever removes the dust). That was the solution for me. I'm not sure if you can dismantle the pedal base (plastic cover) without breaking the warranty, but if it doesn't I'd try that.

    I have had to do this several times.

    Scratch that (read to fast), this shouldn't cause one pedal to affect another. With the problem described over the pedal value would vary and live it's own life to some degree. It would swing up and down, making it possible to drive without going crazy.

    It works, but when you hit the brake or accelerator, it's either 0 or 100 percent. The clutch works perfectly thought.

    Very strange... so, let's try the full set of tests:
    - Make sure you install the latest logitech drivers.
    - Go to the steering wheel options in Windows control panel. Make sure combinated pedals is DISABLED.
    - Move the pedals through their whole movement range. This will calibrate them. This step (fully pressing them) needs to be performed each and everytime you plug your wheel to your computer.
    - Move the pedals again. Does the Windows control panel screen correctly reflect the whole range of movement? Or does it only reflect the start and finish of the range? If this is the case, then I'm afraid your pedals are shot (could be the potentiometers or something else).
    - If that seems to work correctly, start BeamNG, open the Legacy input screen, check the list of hardware on the left: move the pedals again. Is their whole range of movement reflected here too?
    - If it does move correctly, please click "Revert" in the Legacy menu again, to go back to the default factory bindings.
    - Make sure the bindings for pedals are clutch_direct, brake_direct, as accelerate_direct. And NOT any of their ON/OFF counterparts (steer_left, steer_right, accelerate, etc), which should only be used for keyboard or gamepad.


    Please let me know what works and what doesn't from this list of steps. Thanks!

    Control Panel > Devices > Right click on your Wheel > Option ( or properties). You might find even videos of that simple thing on Youtube since it's a quite popular wheel.

    For some reason, the g27 isn't showing on the devices. I tried all different cominations for trying to detect it. This g27 is basically new, i don't know what the problem is. It might be because i have windows 8.1.

    Do you mean it's not showing in windows control panel, or that it's not showing on BeamNG hardware screen?

    Then it means the PC doesn't see it. It's a problem outside BeamNG.
    Are you sure it's plugged in correctly and that the drivers are installed fine?

    This sounds more and more like hardware problems...

    The G27 should work perfectly in USB2 ports, and also in USB3 ports.

    Please, make sure the wheel is attached directly to a USB port on your PC tower/laptop. That is, do NOT use any intermediary USB hub; some of them can wreak havoc, creating conflicts between devices, or not letting enough power arrive at the wheel.

    Also, with time, some motherboards USB ports may start failing, or providing less power than what is required by USB specs. In this situation, the wheel may fail intermitently, or not work at all. Try switching to other USB ports, with the hope that they work better. Your USB3 port may do the trick, judging by what you said.

    And finally, even if it sounds stupid, make sure the wheel is connected to the AC plug: the G27 shifter green light may turn ON even if the wheel is only connected to USB and unable to work. Sometimes the problem is overlooked because i'ts too obvious, I speak from experience :rolleyes:
