Thrustmaster ts xw FFB issue

@BadMayh3m Thanks for the reply.
Yes I have updated the firmware before use and set te settings in the thrustmaster menu to the recommended. Yes at 70 it works fine but to weak for my liking. Especially considering its on 100 in F1 2021. First I also thought it might be clipping but it seems to be something else because the FFB is physically much less then F1 2021 or Assetto Corsa what I also play. And yesterday it got so bad with F1 22 that my wheel was actually broken for a minute or 2 😂 See the video's in the link.

Now I have also send this over to Thrustmaster and done some troubleshooting myself and also noticed that on initial startup of the game the wheel angle is always incorrect. It should be 360 according to the settings but it's more like 320 till 300.Now when you in game and calibrate the wheel again it gets 360 as it should. And sometimes I even get the wheel rotation of the supercars while driving an F1 car. When this happens I must restart the game because recalibration does not fix this. Also an issue I only have in this years game.
Now I don't know if its a hardware or software issue because it only happend on F1 22 but I'll keep on trying in other games and hope it's the wheel it self. Because if not then there will probably be no fix for this.
Just a quick note for the video's. This happend after turning in to a corner and it just locked in position. The video where you see it calibrating is after I closed the game. And I have played 2 hours on F1 2021 since and nothing happend there with higher FFB settings as a preset of that game.
- @Eyturk32 I cant see the vid as very little works with MS Edge.
You say 70 is good but a toddler could turn it.
Wheel damper is what decides how tuff it is to turn the wheel.
As a test set your Wheel damper to 20 and FFb to 70 Im pretty sure you'll have to turn it down.
My next question is what wheel do you have with your base as all wheels are not compatible with this game?
Thrustmaster wheels have the ability to manually set wheel rotations but there are only 5 presets.
Ckeck their support page on how to do this.That's unfortunate that you can't see the video's because I think it will show that it's something else then clipping I think.
70 is indeed good as in it works without issue. For my liking I would like to turn it up like I have in other games but then I get the issue showing in the video. I also played around with the wheel damper and yes it should help making the steering wheel heavy so that's a great tip. Only it does exactly nothing in my case. If run it from the preset which is 1 until 100 and no change in how the wheel feels or turns.
I'm using the Sparco p310 which has a preset in game so it should be supported I guess. I'm really having a hard time understanding the issue with this.
Regarding the wheel rotation I will look it up thanks for that tip also.
Also just to check I just now tried the wheel damper setting on F1 2021 and there it works just fine as it is suppose to. Wheel get indeed heavy to turn.
