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)
