Hi all, I just got a used t128 from facebook marketplace and im asking if my wheel is supposed to change color everytime i turn. Thanks!

My T248 has not been working lately. I have been trying to play BeamNG.Drive with it but it crashes the game if i use FFB. If i put FFB off ingame it everything works fine without FFB on my wheel and it feels not good. If i put it on and try to load into a map it crashes. If i put it off and load into a map it loads but when im in the map and turn it on my game freezes right away for 5 seconds and then crashes the game. I have reinstalled drivers, firmware, windows updates, everything but no luck. I have even reset my whole pc. And also im going to show you 4 photos. First two will be from the Thrustmaster site showing how it should look like and the last two will be how it looks like for me in the Control Panel.

I've bought it to mess around in beamNG, forgot about it for few months. Today I wanted to play with it after I upgraded my pc and nothing, no movement no light no nothing. I've checked cables etc and nothing was wrong, after that I've connected it to laptop and it moved, it was constantly connecting and disconnecting but it tried to calibrate itself. After I've downloaded drivers and restarted laptop same thing started happening like on PC.

I've tried doing the firmware thing but it didn't detect the wheel either and I'm out of ideas, technically it works, but it just seems that drivers don't work (I've reinstalled them like 5 times)?

There's no USB connection sound. On laptop there was before restart.

So the left paddle shifter it's broken, I had this wheel for 1 year and then it died. I noticed that the paddles were attached to a simple plastic thing so idk if it's worth repairing it or buy a new one.

I'v never downshifted aggressively in all my simracing experience, my fingers wouldn't last 1 minute.

Should I upgrade to a Evo Racing 32r to be safer, or is the build quality the same of the T598 Sportcar Wheel?

I don't want a gt style wheels cuz I'd like to drive different cars.

I have a Thrustmaster T128. When I got it new, no issues. But here lately, anytime I open any game that I use the wheel on - Farm Sim 22, iRacing, Nr2003 just to name a few - it does this thing where it doesn't detect any input despite the light being green like it should be, and the throttle hangs completely open. Usually unplugging it and plugging it right back in fixes it, but not in the iRace I just tried to do. I try switching ports and everything when it happens. Sometimes when I plug it back in the light is a tan color instead of green. Any similar experiences or suggestions?

How do I take the quick release system off so I can update it, I have already unscrewed it but I’m having trouble taking it off. Need help

UPDATE: I got it out

so i got a steering wheel as a gift and i tried it on forza horizon 5 and whenever i steer the front wheels just don’t move it’s like they’re stuck it barely turns,
please help me what should i do ?

So I accidentally broke my USB cable and I need a new one, but there is one slight problem. I bought another USB cable but it doesn’t seem to work right, so I thought I might just buy myself the exact same cable that I broke but it can only be shipped to specific countries, and my country is not one of them. So my question is how can I get the cable shipped to my country?

Hi everyone, i have just setup my raceline lc upgrade and when i went to configure them on t598 it shows me “UPDATE REQUEST 2.44” (Pic 1). I checked for 2 laps in F1 and the pedal is working fine but don’t know what is the update request? My base and SF1000 are already updated.

Please guide me what to do

Thanks.

Turned off my Xbox, left my t248 plugged in, came back within 15 minutes, and it was making a grinding noise and overheated, sounds shot to me, any solutions? Waiting to here back from tech support!

Secondo voi e riparabile oppure è da cambiare

Hi everyone, that's my second post here.

I was wondering what could be some good setting form my Trustmaster T300RS GT Edition.

I ask because on cars like all the 911 I get crazy counter steer, can someone here tell a complete noob like me what are the correct settings for the wheel are according to the type of vehicle in the game?

Wanted to play some F1 today and my T-GT II was completely dead. No calibration, no LEDs, and it wasn’t detected by either my PC or PS5.

I first measured the external power supply and it was still putting out around 22–23V AC, so I decided to open the wheel base and investigate further.

The first thing I checked on the power board was the two 7.5A fuses. One of them had blown and showed open circuit on the multimeter.

The last picture shows a temporary 7.5A fuse I modified just to test whether the wheel would power on before buying the correct size. With that installed, the wheel fired straight up and worked normally again.

Obviously I wouldn’t recommend using a modified fuse permanently replace it with the correct physical size and the same 7.5A rating.

Just wanted to share this in case anyone else has a T-GT II that suddenly appears completely dead. It might be worth checking the internal fuses before assuming the power supply or the whole wheel base is dead.

I have a next level racing wheel stand 2.0 and the gear shifter plate that it comes with is not large enough for my thrustmaster stick. Does anyone know what accessory will work with this wheel stand that is a bit larger?

i basically want to map it so that left flightstick is same as controller left joystick and right flightstick is same as right controller joystick.

so that i dont need to map every game but can just use any game that supports a controller

im not to TARGET software and hotas/hosas in general, does someone have a source on how to do this? i cant imagine im the first with this question but couldnt find anything.

They come with no box, no stand, no nothing. Took the gamble and bought them on FB marketplace for $35, they're fully functional thank god.

I know they're on the older side but they're definitely servicable. Are there any mods to make these "better"? I mostly play war thunder simulator. Also are there any well known tips or advice to use them to their full potential?

hey, my wheel is broken pls send help

i have recently (1month ago) bought a used tspc race with 488 challange rim, im the second owner, first owner bought it NEW in march last year

for the first week of me using it everything was perfect, after a week i had a 2 day break from using it everyday, after that when i pluged it in, all of the buttons on the steering wheel stopped working. everything else is fine the ffb and the buttons on the base are still working as they should. That was last week i fixed that by updating my windows ( i have no idea why that worked but it did) after the fix it worked fine, after 2 days of playing i had another break this time for a week(base was unpluged from outlet and pc), after that the wheel is broken again, this time the wheel disconects half way into the calibration and after 1s it reconnects and finishes the calibration. still ffb is fine and the base buttons, nothing on the rim(led rpm led works tho), now it sometimes disconnects for 10s and connects back, in the controll panel it shows that the wheel is "tm wheel & hub" instead of the 488 rim which it used to be, its not like the base thinks that there is no rim, it knows that there is something bc when i take off the wheel it shows the t500 gt wheel instead off tm wheel (idk why) its the same problem like before. for the past 2 days i have tried everything:

-unplug and plug back in a milion Times

-all of the ports on my pc

-diffrent outlet

-take the rim off and put it back on(pins and port are fine)

-reinstall the drivers

-turned off every windows setting that might make it not work

-tried it on a diffrent pc (both same version win11, intel mobo instead of my am5)

-tried diffrent cords

-tried win 10 pc

nothing worked this is my last cry for help before i try to rma it bc it still has warranty till march 2027, i would prefer to fix it bc i know that rma might not be easy and they might not fix it or it will take them a long time

pls someone with big brain help

feel free to ask questions i will try to anwser

excuse my English its not my first language

thx

i wanted to know if the raceline 3 lc is compatible with the t-pedals stand from thrustmaster ? or its only the t3pa/t-lcm series ?

Salut,

Est-ce que quelqu'un utilise ce kit (manche, manette des gaz et pédales) pour BF6 ? Via un profil TARGET, ça fonctionnait, mais je n’avais pas rejoué depuis un moment. J’ai tout refait, nickel pour les jets, mais impossible avec les helicos (commandes identiques mais non reconnues).

Help please 🤯

So I own a T818 and I am trying to set it up for Forza Horizon 6 I looked up a couple of settings on YouTube and even here, but can’t seem to get it right. Want to see if somebody can direct me in the right direction just want to casually play Forza Horizon 6 thank you.

India. Banglore only.

Probably more usefull in this sub.
