Hey guys
So i have a thrustmaster 458 spider racing wheel and love using it but on forza 6 i am having a problem which I can’t understand. I have looked around all over the internet and every one is saying to have your acceleration deadzone outside set at 100 but everytime i do that the car won’t go when i am in a race, so i set it to 20 (the lowest) and then it goes fine but after every race the settings reset and the car doesn’t go again i am really confused and i need help please! (This is also the same problem on Horizon 2)
I drive just manual no clutch, i have pushed both the pedals in 3 times and the wheel settings is on 3 (3 blinks of light) i am not sure if i have the auto clutch on or off, my forza settings are the default ones for the wheel.
Steering axis deadzone inside: 0
Steering axis deadzone outside: 95
Acceleration axis deadzone inside: 15
Acceleration axis deadzone outside: 100
Deceleration axis deadzone inside: 15
Deceleration axis deadzone outside: 95
Clutch axis deadzone inside: 15
Clutch axis deadzone outside: 90
Handbrake and things like that don’t matter…
I don’t mind if we can communicate a little easier eg: skype or something but thank you for the help anyway
Firmware current? Should not reset on its own,mine doesn’t,connections all tight?
If this is the cheaper wheel with no force feedback that’s the same one I have currently as I’m saving up for a higher end set up. I never have any issues like you’re describing, makes me think you may have a faulty wheel. Also make sure you’re not using too many USB extension cables or anything like that, although if that was the issue I would expect you to lose connectivity during the game. I don’t believe there’s a firmware update for that wheel as its only XBOX one and cannot be plugged into PC. For note I have mine on the highest sensitivity which is four blanks and I have all my deadzones set at 0 in 100.
You might also try a hard boot of your Xbox by unplugging the power at the back and letting it sit and then using the wheel to power on the Xbox and don’t ever turn on a controller at all just use the wheel to navigate the menu and start the game.
