cannot get T150 acceleration to work
The Thrustmaster T150 works fine in the control panel, and in Project Cars 2. I can't get it to work in ATS no matter what I do. I have tried every suggestion I can find, including reinstalling the game and T150 drivers. I want to get back into the game with some new DLC, but need it to work. I used to have the T300 with the better pedals, and miss that setup.

Unplug your USB before you start the game, wait a couple of seconds and then plug it back in.... then start the game. You only have to do it once even if you turn off the game until you shut down your computer and turn it on again then you have to do it again.
I don't have a Thrustmaster, I have an old Logitec MOMO wheel, but that's what I have to do every time I want to play ETS2 or ATS.
It may not be a workaround for you but it works for me and a couple others on this forum that I've mentioned it to.
Good luck.
What do you mean you cannot get the acceleration to work, what is happening precisely? By the way, the pedals should be set to inverted in the in-game Controls options.

Thanks, but I did do that several times, and did it again after I read your post...but it didn't help.

When I run the setup wizard, the pedal works...but in the game nothing happens. I found a few people in threads that had the same problem, and they all had different weird ways to set it up and fix it. None of them worked for me. Everything works on the wheel except for the accelerator.

I am not sure why you quoted this thread but I assume you have done everything I and AyMazingATS said to do. If you have then there should be no reason why your wheel should not work correcty.

Have you downloaded and installed the software and Firmware for your wheel?
Have you got your wheel plugged directly into a USB2 port on your computer?
Is your wheel and pedals listed in the drop down list in the in-game Controls options?
Are your pedals set to inverted in the in-game Controls options? If so are they functioning properly in the Controls options?

Have you released the handbrake on the truck? By default the handbrake is activated.
Are you using a mod truck? If so try a default truck.
I had the same problem you are describing, no response from the accelerator pedal, whether I inverted it or not. I solved it by redownloading the drivers from the Thrustmaster web site and inputting the steering, brake and acceleration on the input page in ATS. It works fine now.

Yes to all, except no I didn't try to release hand brake. Either way, there was no rpm or gauges change. There is even gauges change with brakes.

Yes I did, and even tried to go back to earlier version to try that. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'm just not getting anywhere. It is weird.
same problem here
