Re: F1 24 DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THRUSTMASTER WHEEL

My son have (had) the same problem with T818 and SF1000, the wheel is (was) not reconized only keyboard but wheel works well on F1 23  and Assetto Corsa.

After did some test, I found the problem almost for my son and I resolved the issue.

The problem was Bitdefender Advanced Threat defense, I just created an exception for F124.exe and now all is fine.

Check your security software, may be it's the same issue.

PS : We have also a Logitech G29 wheel and no problem with it, it is reconnized without adding an exception to bitdefender. It seems to be a Thrusmaster/bitdefender issue.

  • I had no faith at all in the Bitdefender idea, like why would protection software decide to block only for F1 24 but unless something else has been fixed by coincidence this has solved it for me as well. Thanks for that little nugget!

    This realy works. Thanks man, the best answer you could get. Bitdefender was the problem, not EA or THRUSTMASTER. YOUR THE BEST. THANKS.

    Thanks for letting us all know @cisco21!

    For everyone still having issues with Thrustmaster wheels not being recognized, please create an exception for F124.exe in Bitdefender Advanced Threat defense. We will also add that workaround to our Community Raised Issues thread.

  • Yeah i dont use BitDefender or some other security typo thing so idk what to do… but other games like F1 18 IRacing and Assetto Corsa still work with the pedals and steering wheel
