Thrustmaster T500 / F1 Wheel will not be recognized

Hi guys,

because of some circumstances I don't play F1 2021 for half of a year.

Today I connected my wheel to PS5 and start F1. But the game did not recognized the wheel.

The PS5 recognized it, because every time I connect the wheel it turn around a few times.

This is what normally happen when I start the game. But when I start the game now, nothing is happening.

I checked the firmware of the wheel, the console. Is the latest one. I checked F1, it's the latest version.

I deleted and installed the game again. Issue still there.

When I install F1 2020, the wheel still works. I checked the wheel compatibility list of both games. Both game got this wheel in the list.

I just played it in novembre with this wheel and it works fine.

The only thing which changed is the firmware of PS5 and the verison of the game. I don't think that it's a PS5 problem, because the wheel reacts when I connect and in F1 2020 it still works.

Could it be a Version Bug of F1 2021? Is there anything known

Key Facts:

Wheel: Thrustmaster T500 / Ferrari F1 Wheel (Latest Firmware)

Console: PS5 (latest Firmware)

Game: F1 2021 (latest version)

Thanks in advance,

Simon
