Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 spider wheel problems (xbox one)

Miscellaneous Hardware & Peripherals

Hello,

I just downloaded the demo of forza 6, and was looking forward to downloading the full game after testing my new wheel.

however, I bought a thrustmaster ferrari 458 spider wheel, from ebay, and it doesn’t work and wondered if anyone owns this steering wheel set?

All buttons on the wheel work, as do the pedals in different games, but the steering left or right is not registering at all.

I downloaded a couple of demo’s as well (WRC5 & Sebastian Loeb) both of which are compatible with this wheel, and they are both doing exactly the same as Forza, all buttons work, and pedals, but steering doesn’t work.

Am i missing doing something, is it just a plug in an play wheel or have i done something wrong?

I went into calibration setting in sebastian loeb, and it wasn’t registering on that screen either… i have seen someone play that demo with a wheel on youtube, so it should work.

so, is this a broke one that should go back, or can anyone offer guidance.

I have tried a hard reset of usb ports
I have tried draining the battery fully
I have tried in both standby mode, and power saving.
I have tried alternative usb ports.

Thanks in advance

When you turn plug in the wheel does it self calibrate, does the wheel automatically rotate anti clockwise and clockwise?

I have the Thrustmaster wheel and it works with nearly all driving games. Works best with Forza,

Plug in the USB to the wheel

Take the power cord out of the power source, wait until the orange light goes out. Plug it back in and turn on the Xbox one.

The wheel ( should ) start spinning, calibrating.

Don’t forget to depress all the pedals a couple of times as well as they don’t self calibrate.

Hope this helps.

If the steering doesn’t work then it sounds like its faulty.
