Thrustmaster t598

When using the steering wheel and pedals on the ps5, the game does not default to t598 as primary controller on first launch. If ps5 is put into rest mode it remembers t598 was set as primary and no issue. Theres no way to know ps5 controller is default until you start a race and getting to the first turn and steering doesn't work but pedals are ok.

Another issue is after crashing the car and restarting the race. The wheel does not reset to 0. So when you launch at lights out the car turns and crashes straight into the start grid.

    It is the same on Xbox and Logitech G923 and at the beginning I didn't understand why the wheel seemed to disconnect itself. To avoid this I have to launch the game and confirm the loading screen (see screenshot), with the wheel and the game should identify the wheel as the primary controller.

    If there is a doubt, you can check in the options, in controls, the primary controller is indicated (see screenshot).

     

    For your other issue, there is an option in the vibration menu of the wheel, "steering centre force" that should realign the wheel in respawn or restart.

     

    I hope it helps.

    1) For Force Feedback steering wheels is definitively not recommanded to use the rest mode on PlayStation (same for the Quick Resume on Xbox). 
    These modes are optimized for gamepad controllers but not for wheels (and create some issues).
    So to avoid steering wheel issues, the best is to completely closed the game before launching it again. 
    2) It's better to Turn On the PlayStation before plugging the wheel on the console = plug the USB only when the PlayStation is On.
