Setting up steering wheel in Forza Horizon 5

[q360404838]

I just bought thrustmaster t80 ferrari 488 gtb edition and the steering wheel cannot be detected by Forza Horizon 5. I tried with Vjoy and Forza EmuWheel but failed.

Does anyone get the same steering wheel and setup successfully in Forza Horizon 5?

I had some issues with my Thrustmaster T500 RS. Try booting up the game with your wheel unplugged. After that when you're ingame; plug it in.

The game immediately recognized and worked with my g29 (the Playstation 3/4 version) but wouldn't display any of the Playstation buttons on screen. It simply numbered all the buttons 1-12 or so. zthe Xbox version of the wheel is literally identical, just with Xbox button markings instead.. I'd guess that would work fine as my 360 controller has no issues.

The wheel really didn't work well though. Steering was extremely difficult, and trying to do so when braking before a turn was effectively impossible. Switching to the controller felt like playing an entirely different and much easier game, and I went from finishing 6th against average AI to essentially always finishing 1st against AI several notches higher in difficulty.

Hopefully you get your setup going. It works fine on my archaic Driving Force GT (ps3) and it is a very, very good experience. Much better than FH4, which was terrible (on a wheel).

Steering wheel is going to be more difficult, if it is working correctly. I still use a controller for drifting (if I must), and if I was going to be serious about competing I would only use a controller. Heck, I wouldn't do any MP events with my wheel just so I wouldn't hold anyone back.

But for actually driving, it's amazing. I did turn down most power/force/centering settings by about 20%, and that seemed to be a sweet spot for me. I've spent hours driving around doing nothing but weaving in and out of traffic, watching accidents and enjoying myself. So hopefully you can get yours worked out too.

The wheel feel is fantastic.

Hi, the t80 ferrari 488 is console only. It doesn't work on PC. I made the same mistake. Bought the t80, came home and found out it doesn't work on PC, returned it and got a G920 instead.
