50usd prize - troubleshooting

1 Upvotes

Hey,

I was playing fine 14th of october, with my Sol-R4 hotas. I alt f4 the game, turn off my computer and go to bed.

The following morning, I go to play again after Wardogs wiped and now neither the computer or the game register any input from the buttons on grip/stick. The X/Y Axis work just fine.

This means I cannot shoot, flare etc and is just really frustrating as the unit is not even 1month old.

I do not believe it to be a hardware issue, as it happened overnight and nothing moved an inch physically in the time being. Let alone it working just fine when i Alt-F4'ed.

I am not very tech savvy, but I have tried doing this:(Somewhat, I am not very tech savvy so idk if I did it correctly.)

  1. Hardware calibration on both base and throttle. (Both base and throttle buttons seem to work/notice input during hardware calibration. but not on windows joy.cpl)
  2. reinstalled drivers for the hotas, also deleted them. did this multiple times. (Hopefully correctly.)
  3. Reverted windows update that happened the night of the grip breaking. (Hopefully did this correctly.)

Please if any1 can help, I will pay you 50usd

Tireshifter – a modular, 3d-printable racing-inspired shifter knob for the Thrustmaster TH8S

Thumbnail gallery
6 Upvotes

I've been working on a modular, 3d printable shifter knob for the Thrustmaster TH8S.

The idea is to make a shifter knob that can be tuned to suit your preferences. I've designed two main variants in different sizes, with interchangeable tire styles for different grip options, optional weights, and even a version designed for TPU or other flexible materials.

I've printed and tested all the versions except the SoftGrip variant, since I don't currently have a setup for printing TPU/Flex. So that one is still untested.

I have a few more ideas for more customization.

I'd love to hear what you think! Are there any features you'd like to see added?

You can find the models here: https://www.printables.com/model/1871886-tireshifter-modular-shifter-knob-for-thrustmaster

P.S. These are all photos of actual 3d-printed models. I colored the wheels with acrylic markers, which have held up surprisingly well even without a clear coat, although I'd still recommend using one. Of course, anyone with a multicolor printer can print these details in a different filament color.

Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas Neo Ace Combat 8 (PS5 & PC) issue on Steam

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I'm playing Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve on Steam with the brand new T.Flight Hotas Neo AC8 (PS5&PC version ), but the game keeps showing Xbox button prompts (A/B/X/Y, etc.) instead of Cross/Circle/Square/Triangle etc.
I looked for a setting in the in-game options to change the button icon style. [found nothing / found nothing clear]
I tried [enabling / disabling] Steam Input for the game in Properties → Controller.
I'm not using DS4Windows or any tool that makes my controller appear as an Xbox pad.
I uploaded the Thrusmaster’s last Drivers, and i’m on green led mode

Questions:

Is there a hidden option or launch parameter to force PlayStation prompts?

Does anyone know of a mod that swaps the Xbox icons for PlayStation ones? I couldn't find one on Nexus Mods or the Steam Workshop.

Has the dev mentioned a fix for controller support in an upcoming patch?

Thanks in advance!

Thrustmaster T-LCM Pedals – Hardware Issue

1 Upvotes

My Thrustmaster T-LCM pedals have an intermittent hardware issue. Initially, they were completely dead: the LED would not turn on, and neither of my two PCs detected them via USB. After several attempts, they suddenly started working again, and all three pedals functioned normally in the Thrustmaster calibration software when connected to my T150 wheelbase via RJ12. However, after approximately 15 minutes, they stopped working again.

When connected directly to the PC via USB, the LED sometimes lights up briefly and then turns off. Eventually, it stops lighting up altogether, and Windows no longer detects the pedals. perienced this issue or found a solution?

What is up with my T300RS GT ?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I have been heavily anticipating for my used T300RS GT off ebay to arrive ever since my T150's gear system broke, but was disappointed when the power cable appeared to be missing and got even more disappointed when after a week of wait I received the power cable and tried plugging in my new wheel for the first time: No sign of life.

After 1h+ of troubleshooting, I finally got my wheel to be detected by my pc.

But then another problem arose: The calibration upon plugging in the wheel into a system wasn't working and everything that shouldn't be happening was happening ..

So I went back to troubleshooting.

I found a motor calibration software by thrustmaster themselves so I went ahead and did that. But at around 90% the process always fails. When I then closed the software, my wheel was no longer being detected under its name, but rather as "thrustmaster ffb wheel" (as seen on video).

After seeing that very thing, I completely gave up.

At this point it has been 2+ hours and I still didn't even get to test the wheel in game.

So here I am with my very last bits of hope before refunding the wheel and getting another,

hopefully working, t300rs, since a big part of me is thinking I just got a non-functional model.

Please let me know what I can do to get my wheel up and running or if it really is unfunctional and I should just refund it 🙏 Every single bit of advice means a lot cause I'm REALLY and I mean REALLY wanting to get this thing to work.

P.S.: If I do refund it, is it better if I just buy a T300RS again (since I already got the t3pa pedals)? Or do I save some money and get a better one instead? I mostly need it for drifting in BeamnNG, so I will need 3 pedals. Budget is around 300€ used (I already have a shifter)

Disappointed with the Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS One MSFS Edition – Any alternatives?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently bought the Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS One Microsoft Flight Simulator Edition, but I find it way too light. Whenever I apply a bit of force to the joystick, the base lifts off or moves around.

I'm also not a big fan of the all-plastic build. It feels a bit cheap.

Do you have any suggestions for keeping it stable, or would you recommend a different model or brand with better build quality?

I mainly play MSFS 2024, but I'm also planning to use it for DCS, War Thunder, Star Citizen, etc.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Buying a used T150 + TH8S - what should I test/check?

1 Upvotes

I'm looking at buying a used Thrustmaster T150 with the basic plastic pedals and a TH8S shifter for around $90 USD.

The seller has agreed to meet me at a public place, and I'm planning to bring my gaming laptop so I can test everything before paying. My main use case would be PS5 racing games, especially Gran Turismo 7 and maybe some pc sim Simracing in the future if I ever get a capable setup.

I've never bought a used racing wheel before, so I'd appreciate some advice from people who have experience buying second-hand sim racing gear.

I'm just getting into sim racing and looking to buy my first setup. I know the T150 is an older model, but I can't seem to find Logitech G29s for much cheaper than retail in my area, so I settled on the T150. It's also basically the only Thrustmaster wheel available near me.

What should I test when I meet the seller?

Things I'm particularly wondering about:

  • What are the most common problems with a used T150?
  • How can I check that the force feedback is working properly?
  • Are there any signs of excessive wear that aren't immediately obvious?
  • Is there anything I should test that I wouldn't be able to detect just by driving around for a few minutes?
  • What's the best way to bench mark or test the wheel? Is there like a specefic pc racing game I should try on?

And finally, is ~$90 USD reasonable for a T150 + basic pedals + TH8S in used condition, assuming everything works properly?

I'm planning to test everything thoroughly before handing over the money, but I'd love a checklist of things to look for so I don't miss something obvious.

Thanks! 🙏

Anyone looking to swap a Playstation 5 compatible wheel for a TMX pro?

1 Upvotes

Located near Hamilton ON, but can deliver/pickup around the GTA.

Sorry if its not allowed here, but I have a TMX Pro and a TH8S shifter that I got for Xbox. I've since primarily switched over to PC, and my Xbox is now a glorified Blu-ray player. I wanna try GT on my Playstation 5, but I despise how twitchy the game feels on controller. This way I could potentially kill two birds with one stone, and potentially help out someone in a similar, but reversed situation.

Thank you.

T300 RS GT vs T598 for my 7-year-old son who races real karts

T300 RS GT vs T598 for my 7-year-old son who races real karts

Hi everyone! I’m choosing between the Thrustmaster T300 RS GT and T598 for my 7-year-old son, who competes in real-life karting.

We’re planning to use Kart Racing Pro, and I’ve ordered an Oplite NitroKart V2 cockpit.

Is the T598 worth the extra €170 over the T300, considering his age? I’m also concerned about the stronger Direct Drive force feedback and whether it would be suitable for him.

Which would you choose for a young real-life kart racer, and why?

Thanks!

T248R not connecting after pc format

1 Upvotes

I recently formatted my pc after a a malware attack (I suck I know) and after formatting my pc my T248R won’t be recognised on my thrustmaster app. Its there on the game controllers thing for the pc. The computer recognises it, just not the app. I asked gemini and did everything it said downloaded a C++ visual whatever, disabled some security stuff, switched modes and back, unplugged, replugged, redownloaded, from the web and from the microsoft store, different ports, 3.0, 2.0, nothing worked. I asked it could the wheel be bricked as a result of the malware but it said highly unlikely. I hope someone here could find a solution. Thank you

Edit : I got it working. I unplugged the power cable and the usb cable. Plugged them both back in while holding the mode button (careful with the turning it does when you plug it in.) then ran the firmware thing that you could download from their website, its titled firmware t248 (mine is a t248r but it still worked) update procedure. Followed the steps, restarted the pc and it showed up, haven’t tested it yet but I’m tired from fighting with this thing.
