Re: Thrustmaster wheel issues

It's the wheel base overheating what is causing that (unless it's 100% gone suddenly, that has happened me once and is a different thing). Note! it doesn't feel that warm, but it's the cause and intended feature in these bases in any case. 

I have the game on both steam /PC and series X and I have used my TX wheelbase with both quite a bit now. If you have default FFB settings on PC (both in game and on thrustmaster drivers), it's about the same as you would set the FFB overal forces on xbox to 25% (you read that right, I'm no kidding!), that's how much lighter the FFB is on defaults on PC compared to Xbox on this wheelbase, even though the values in the game are indentical (and I think it's probably the same for all thrustmaster wheelbases). With the default values on xbox, it overheats eventually. 

So, just drop the overal forces to be much lower in the game (I have used 25-40). You should also use the "fan always on" mode on the base (see thrustmaster support for guides how to set it). 

If it's really hot where you play, better to set it 25% or close probably and hope for the best. 

ps. I wouldn't necessary blame CM/EA of this problem, might not be really their fault at all.
