@Scooteria6282 Open again the T128 Control Panel and double-check that the firmware version is V5.03 (and not V5.00) as show here: https://ts.thrustmaster.com/download/pictures/PCMAC/T128/T128X_CPL_FW5_03.png

It's important 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: https://i.ibb.co/wCgRy3Q/T128-Firmware-update.png

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
• Make sure that your gamepad controller is completely Off before starting the game (you can turn it ON but in this case, it must be connected to the Xbox with a wired cable to avoid the auto sleep).

As this, but firmware is now V5.04 (T128 XB)
