Thrustmaster steering wheel BUG

Hi, I have a bug in F1 23, which I already had in F1 22 and which was not solved.

I have a Thustmaster TS-PC steering wheel and T-LCM pedals. The game does not detect the steering wheel or the pedals, sometimes, after restarting several times, the game detects the steering wheel, the pedals, or both at the same time, but it is random. Both drivers and firmware are up to date.

If you look at the STEAM forums, I'm not the only one who has this error with Thrustmaster steering wheels.

I have all codemasters F1s and this bug appeared in F1 22 and continues in F1 23. Last year with F1 22, I was in contact with Thrustmaster technical support until the release of F1 23, and no solution was found and it was not patched by EA.

Is the developer aware of this bug and do they plan to fix it?

Yes, a workaround is to connect the T-LCM pedals via RJ12 instead. Ensure the TS-PC is in T-LCM mode.

This is a Thrustmaster issue with connected USB pedals, which rim do you have (TS-PC comes with Open Racing Wheel in some SKUs)?

They refused to acknowledge that firmware v13 does not correctly allow the Ferrari rim to operate in PC advanced mode, yet v11 does. Firmwares v12 and v13 added SF-1000 support and compatibility features only. 

I could not test with T-LCM pedals via USB but had a LeoBodnar G25 USB adapter connected to a G923 pedalset without issues on v11.

Downflashing is possible by putting the v11 firmware in the flash folder.

In answer to the developer aware, it is not listed in community raised issues but there are FFB issues with the Thrustmaster wheels that are under investigation / awaiting patch.

Hi, I am using TS-PC with Open Racing Wheel.

I have asked again at Thrustmaster. I have told them that it is a bug that we have several users, that normally the hardware works with the T500RS driver, and that in games prior to F1 22 does not happen.

I have sent them a list of posts from the Steam and EA forums, where other users comment that they have the same bug.

They have answered me from Thrustmaster's technical service that, as this bug is only in F1 games, and not in others like Assetto Corsa or Iracing, the bug is in the game and not in the drivers or firmware.

Regards.
