Pedals of steering wheel reversed and always full throttle
I've recently bought a budget steering wheel, Thrustmaster T80 ferrari edition. I installed the drivers for it and it works great in all games, but when I try to play ATS the pedals are switched (Gas is named Brake and vice versa) also the reverse (brake) is always on full....so whenever you spawn outside of garage the engine redlines and goes reverse like a crackhead. Thanks for help in advance :D

Then you go into Options >> Controls.

Click on Acceleration axis and then step on the gas pedal. Do the same for the brake.

Test the pedals. You will see a yellow line below each axis. If needed change the pedal orientation using the drop down boxes below each axis.

I have done this many times but it always returns back to previous mentioned problem...

Maybe try going into windows controller and set it up. Then try the game settings. I had to do that on my new computer. Windows 10 did not want to see my wheel and pedals...

Adding to that... in windows game controller/thrustmaster ctrl pnl.
Make sure that the "combined pedals" checkbox is, "UNchecked".

I frequently have to open up Logitech G Hub and toggle the steering to anything then back to 900 otherwise ETS2 only sees like 450 instead of the full 900. I think this is more likely to be a Logitech G Hub thing than ETS2, so maybe your driver isn't playing nice with ATS or vice versa. ATS runs on the same game engine as ETS2, but I'm mostly playing ETS2 at the moment.

I think I figured it out....I calibrated the wheel and pedals in joy.cpl and set combined pedals off, reconnected the wheel and now it works flawlessly
