Thrustmaster t150 doesn't work
Hi Guys. So today I bought the t150. All drivers of 2017 just installed, but the wheel doesn't work. The button is setted on PS3, and doesn't work. Tried with the button setted on PS4, and doesn't work. The game don't recognize the wheel. But if I go to check the force feedback on the PC, the wheel is connected and works, so do the pedals. I have this problem even with Assetto Corsa and Project Cars. Can anyone help me pls ?

Have you updated the firmware?

Go into the control panel for game controllers and click advanced.

Make sure that the wheel is selected to be the top in the list.

Even if there is no controller still go there and select your wheel. I had to do it with mine when I first got it.

Also since you fooled with the switch for ps3 and ps4.

Make sure it's on ps3 and disconnect the wheel from the computer and then the power source from the wall.

Wait 30 seconds or so and then plug in the power to the wall and then plug in the usb cable to your pc and let the wheel calibrate.

Keep in mind that on many occasions the wheel will calibrate itself on startup. Sometimes it doesn't but when it does you will have to go into the control panel for the wheel to calibrate the pedals. Just hold each one in for like 3 seconds.

Then calibrate your wheel how you like it. Turn it full left past the soft lock and then full right past the softlock and then come back to the center and press the square button to lock the position in. The wheel may move a little bit or it may not.

Thank you for the advice, but I solved the problem with one simple thing. So for those who will have the same problem make sure to de-biff the "generic controll" on Big Picture. Disable this and you will be able to use the T150.

haha that to. That's such a pain in the ass. I don't understand why steam doesn't fix that.

The steam app offers a controller interface that can cause problems with racing titles and wheels. Right click on the game in steam library and choose properties. "Steam Input Per-Game Setting" change 'Use your Global Steam Input settings to "Force Off".
Some have reported this setting can change on its own when Steam client updates.

This will allow you to keep saved settings for other controllers/pads if you use them with other games.
