Re: Thrustmaster TMX Force Feedback dropouts

I am not a Techie, but I have had a similar problem, with my Thrustmaster TMX force feedback.  My steering wheel used to completely cut out, I would have to completely restart the wheel sometimes even restart the computer.  It would sometimes be a half hour till I could drive again.  I think what happened with my problem is the Thrustmaster TMX force feedback overheated.  I turned down my Gain settings in the Master Game Settings to 75% (see attached pic). I haven't had a problem since.  Might be worth a try?
