There are plenty of racing simulator controllers (wheels and pedals) available in the market that you can use with your PC gaming setup. But when it comes to reliable and popular simulation control, Logitech has a huge user base and best-in-class products apart from mice, keyboards, webcams, gaming headphones, and more. This brand literally offers a wide range of driving simulator wheel and pedal controllers for PC gamers and Logitech G29, G920, and G923 are one of them. Unfortunately, several players are encountering issues with the SnowRunner simulation because either the wheel & pedal controller not detecting or not working.

As per plenty of reports, the steering wheel and pedal set of Logitech G920/G923/G29 might stop working all of a sudden during loading into the SnowRunner video game or somehow the PC itself might not be able to detect the connectivity temporarily.
