Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Italia - pedals problem

[KRUKO]

Hello. Specjal for that game I bought a new steering wheel "Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Italia Xbox PC". But still I can't set up a pedals. When I add first one (for example throttle) it's ok, but when I add second one (brake), the first one is gone.
With xBox pad everything is fine, but not with this steering wheel.
I already try to install drivers from officjal site "https://support.thrustmaster.com/en/product/txracingwheel-en/"
Any idea ?

[Eugene Braggs]

Is this the cheapo 458 or the good one? For some reason thrustmaster makes 2 models with very similar names but they're VERY different products.

If it is the cheapo one - most games see it as a regular xbox controller so brakes and accel will likely be on the same axis with one of the pedals reversed.

Also I recall from reading the manuals that some of these wheels have optionally combined pedals. You have to push some combination of buttons (guide button + something else, or some specific number of presses) to toggle if you want pedals to be combined. The details should be in the manual. As an alternative some games will let you switch mode inside the game.

Switch on "combined pedals" in profiler??

[KRUKO]

I buy a used wheel, so I don't have manual and don't know whitch combined need to use...
And In the back it says "Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 RW Xbox 360 (V.1) N2035
Other games works fine ( Burnout Paradise, Need for speed Hot Pursuit, rFactor )
@Mondyrocks what do you mean ? I try to find the "combined pedals" in settings but I can't find it

[Mondyrocks]

In your thrustmaster software, profiler settings, not in game.

I had the same problem, solved it a few days ago.

In case you haven't fixed here's what I did:

-Open ACC and go into Controls
-Bind the accelerator with your gas pedal
-Leave the brake unbinded
-Save your controls template with the button at the bottom right
-Close ACC
-Open your File Explorer
-Go into Documents\Assetto Corsa Competizione\Customs\Controls
-There will be the file you just saved with a .json extension
-Open the file with a text editor
-Scroll down and you'll eventually find the "raceCommandAxisList" section
-Now the important bit: you'll find a section that looks like this:

{
"axisIndex": 2,
"axisCode": "Gas",
"minRange": 0,
"maxRange": 1
}

-The axisIndex shows you which axis you just binded to the "Gas" value.
-You want to copy this section and paste right below it
-In the section you just pasted change "Gas" for "Brake"
-Put a comma after the } of "Gas"
-Now, look at the min and maxRange values in the "Gas" section
-If like me you have 0;1 then you need to modify the maxRange in the "Brake" section to -1
-If you have 0 ; -1 then put 1 in the maxRange of you "Brake"

It should look like this:

{
"axisIndex": 2,
"axisCode": "Gas",
"minRange": 0,
"maxRange": 1
},
{
"axisIndex": 2,
"axisCode": "Brake",
"minRange": 0,
"maxRange": -1
}

-The comma after the } is important so don't miss it
-Now save the file you just modified and close it
-Open ACC and go back to Controls
-Load the file you just modified with the save/load button in the bottom right
-Both Accelerator and Brake should now be assigned, do not touch them again or you'll have to fiddle with the .json again.

I hope this works for you. This stupid issue prevented me from driving in ACC for MONTHS (bought acc on day-one and only fixed it last week...).

One more important thing. The problem with that wheel is that it is interpreted like a semi gamepad so some buttons like the gear paddles are assigned by default to some functions like view change and stuff. This is a problem but atm I have no fix for it. Still, you can drive if you assign gears to other buttons like I did. It's also worth mentioning that ACC doesn't allow you to combine wheel and keyboard controls (at the moment) which means that if you want to assign more than your pedals and steering, you're gonna have a hard time finding working buttons. I gave up trying to assign my lights and wiper buttons hahahah.

Anyhow, you should now be able to drive in ACC. I hope it is the case, otherwise send me the .json and we'll try to fix it for you.

Have a great one and tell me if it worked! :)

Hey man, I have the standard assetto corsa (non Competitionize) and my controls don't look like how his do (I have the same wheel as well). This is what it looks like:

[THROTTLE]
JOY=0
AXLE=2
MIN=0
MAX=1

[BRAKES]
JOY=-1
AXLE=-1
MIN=0
MAX=-1
GAMMA=2.4

I tried the changes in the min and max yet I can't change the axis anywhere.
Would you know what to do e.g. if i could copy and paste the axisindex lines and put them in my file?

Hey man, sorry for the late reply I haven't been online for some time. Do you have the same wheel we're talking about? If so I'm posting down here my config for you, see if it helps for the regular AC

[THROTTLE]
JOY=0
AXLE=2
MIN=0.0001
MAX=0.996124208438239

[BRAKES]
JOY=0
AXLE=2
MIN=0.0001
MAX=-0.996093690394446
GAMMA=2.4


Don't forget to save and reopen AC from scratch. Let me know if it helped :)

Just picked this up along with AC Ultimate... I typically play F1 series with the old 458 wheel and was just figuring out how to make it work. Your comments are very helpful and much appreciated!

I'm currently scoping out a replacement for this old thing and couldn't be more anxious though there's no shame in this old 360 wheel... it served me well for what it cost! ha

Got mine working with your advice as well, thank you!

[GOG]

I have Ferrari 458. After a bit of fiddling I got throttle and brake to work by adjusting settings as follows -: throttle= no inv > min 100% > max 0% . Brake = Inv on > min 100% >max 0% . I have not as yet tweaked these anymore as I have only just started AC and am getting to grips with the basics.

Hey,
I recently bought ACC as well and I have a similar problem. Since it seems like you have some skills solving those problems I wanted to ask you for help. :)
The problem is, that both, throttle and brake are on the same "key". When i press gas, it also activates the brakes. I already tried your tip but it did not work.
Do you and anybody here can help me fixing it? (I really want to play )

Best regards!
