IMPORTANT: After the firmware update, open the WHEEL CONTROL PANEL, and double check that the firmware version. It must be notify:

-
V2.03 (and not V2.00) for the T248
-
V58.06 (and not V58.00) for the TX
-
V8.07 (and not V8.00) for the TS-XW
Exactly like on this picture:
It's important to double check the Firmware version number in the WHEEL CONTROL PANEL because lot of guys only install the new driver package and forget that after this they must absolutely launch the other software: THRUSTMASTER FIRMWARE UPDATE software to install manually the new driver.
LAST POINT TO CHECK:
Make sure that your game is not set in QUICK RESUME MODE (because this mode is made for gamepad controllers and brings some Force Feedback or Telemetry issues with Steering Wheels). More details here about this mode: https://ts.thrustmaster.com/faqs/eng/FAQ_About_Quick_Resume_Xbox.pdf
