steering wheel brakes just slamming in reverse and accelerator not working
so i recently bought a Thrustmaster T150 steering wheel, so i went on american truck sim to play with it, when ever i play the game

no.1 problem : when i try and key bind the controls the accelerator pedal does not show up at all

no.2 problem : my brakes just slam in reverse for no reason at all when i am not even touching any buttons :/ (it is also like this with a few of my other games)

thank you to anyone who can help with this problem.

First, did you get the firmware/software installed?
If so, can you check the settings in the software?

When the brake makes the truck go in reverse its cause simple automatic is in use.

If the pedal not show up at all and its just one of them but the other works seems strange. Change the USB port maybe? Just guessing here.

There are dedicated wheel and pedal settings for setting up your wheel - the keybindings are for keys (on/off) rather than progressive adjustment via an variable adjustment.

Use the 'Real Automatic' setting for wheel and pedals as the two basic auto choices are for keyboard. You should also add forwards and reverse options for gear choice - this can be the paddles on the wheel. Select a 'neutral' gear key or button too. :104:

so i set the paddles on my wheel as throttle and brake and now it works perfectly, thanks anyways though :)

That is a weird way to drive - how do you change between forwards and reverse?

T150..I used this wheel for a few years before upgrading.

Do you have the slide switch set to PS3?
Have the latest firmware installed?
Have you checked the Thrustmaster Control Panel to make sure the pedals are not being reported as combined?

I have the same arrangement on my Drift Oz wheel, even though I have perfectly functioning pedals, I use the flappy paddles for brake and accelerator, because...reasons.
Pull on the right to accelerate, pull on the left for brakes, double pull for reverse, then double pull right to go forward, rather like a disabled-adapted car.
Judicious use of the cruise control helps, as well.
Not conventional, but it works for me:steamhappy:
