Thrustmaster T300 Ferrari GTE Wheel

[braindeadmc2003]

Hi,
i am tring now for 2 hours to get the Thrustmaster T300 working without luck. I have read that the t150 is working fine so i dont´t know what i am doing wrong.

The buttons are recognized but not the wheel or the pedals. If i start Asseto Corsa ther is no response in windows usb devices too. Just the buttons are working.

Virtual client for steam is installed, steamlink with the "Thrustmaster Racing Wheel FBB" is recognized and in use by me. Steam link is on beta, client too.

is there a workaround?

When you are streaming, minimize big picture and bring up the virtualhere client.

In the virtualhere client right click on the device "Thrustmaster Racing Wheel FFB" and select properties , and tell me the vendor id and product id.

[braindeadmc2003]

Hi, here you are...

Vendor: Thrustmaster
Product: Thrustmaster Racing Wheel FFB
Vendor ID: 0x044F
Product ID: 0xB66D
Adress: 112

Just to be sure, i have the T3PA 3-Pedal-Set from Thrustmaster but i dont think thats the Problem because there is no Wheel Rotation recognized also. Hope the Infos help.

OK thanks, i will investigate...

Hi, is there any Progress?

Ok i was hoping for a response from valve about this wheel, but didnt hear anything, so ive bought the wheel, im getting it delivered tomorrow so hopefully ill have an answer next week, with a yes or no if i can get it working..

Noting this. My T300RS wheel Works fine connected to my machine directly but not through Steam link. Really don't want to have to buy a 20m USB cable!! :D

Same here :-)...allready in my shopping cart to buy it if virtualhere don´t works

Ok i got the wheel and i am investigating now...

[virtualhere]

Ok so the wheel does work. I updated the virtualhere client drivers to 4.3.7 to better support this. After you get the virtualhere client update via the steam client, can you tell me if it works ok when you select the wheel now.

If not, i think also the steamlink firmware may need a small update from valve.

(When the steamlink selects the wheel (in the steamlink menu) it will select on the (Vendor ID: 0x044F Product ID: 0xB66D) in ThrustMaster FFB mode but when the wheel reboots itself and calibrates it comes back as ThrustMaster T300 Wheel which should be selected automatically, however this is a different Product ID, so im not sure if it will automatically select it, if its not let me know)

Just spent the best part of an hour on Team Viewer with Michael from VirtualHere. Despite my idiocy on forgetting to switch the wheel back from PS4 to PS3/PC mode, we seem to have nailed the problem down to one of 2 things.

It seems one of the symptoms was win 7 drivers were being installed by VH rather than W10. The root cause of this was either that Steam was set to run in Win 8 compatibility mode (right click steam.exe select properties under compatibility tab) OR because of some strange registry settings I had because I ran a program called Stardock Start 8, which is supposed to be a menu front end to make W10 look a bit like W8.

Either way, the T300RS wheel now works via steam link having unselected win 8 Combatibility, uninstalling Start 8 (and making sure the damn wheel switch is in the right position!).

Hopefully this post will be useful to others and might save Michael some of the time he spent messing about on my machine! Thanks again sir!

Hi there,
tested the update and now the T300RS Works. But now I have a big problem with frame loses in Asseto Corsa and Race Room. If I play without the wheel everthing works fine. Is there a option that i miss?

[virtualhere]

ok, i think you need to

* reduce the game resolution

or

* run virtualhere on another device e.g do you have a router you can ssh to, or know much about the raspberry pi? If so i can send you a license for one of those

Hi, I have frame loses with T300RS and DiRT Rally.

- VirtualHere 4.3.7
- T300RS Firmware 28
- SteamLink Lastest Version

The game works fine with the xbox controller.

But unplayable with T300RS through VirtualHere.

I notice something, when I leave the game, in Big Picture menu (steam link), it is going down like the down pad arrow is pushed. I think it's something with the pedals of the T300RS.

Maybe this bug send to much info and I loose frames ?

Anyway, I can try to install VirtualHere on my raspberry pi on the same network or try with a laptop runing on the same network ?

[virtualhere]

Sure, ideally just run virtualhere server on the pi3, ill give you a virtualhere license key. You wont have any performance issues then. Just install virtualhere server on your pi. Run the virtualhere client, when you see "Raspberry Hub" listed, right click USB Hubs->License....->Copy to clipboard and paste into an email to [e-mail]

[confusionhunter]

To me, it would seem that the USB signal from the T300RS via Virtual here is bandwidth hungry especially compared to my old wheel which would run 1080p no problems. I wonder if the force feedback software is more sophisticated and causing the bandwidth to drop frames (or potentially poorly coded drivers?).

It seems we are reaching the limit of what a lync unit can do, so it would be useful for Steam to release a version with more capacity and a 1GB network adapter.
