Hi all has anybody else had any problems on Forza 5 with a Thrusmaster TX wheel, the following explanation shows what has been happening.
I have a Thrustmaster TX force feedback wheel that I have had for around 4 months, this has been an outstanding wheel up until the last 6 weeks or so. I am getting problems playing Forza 5 with the wheel and was told to contact Turn 10 by Thrustmaster support.
Okay what happens is that while racing or driving in any way shape or form, the wheel reverts back into the pause menu screen all of its own accord, also the car view changes itself, and it changes down gears itself, this is almost always happening in races where I either crash or quickly press the back button to continue.
I have used a game pad and this does not occur with this, I have also used the wheel on Forza Horizon and Project cars, there has been no problem on either of these, it is only on Forza 5, this is now becoming increasingly frustrating.
Thrustmaster support have said that filters are used on certain games,
The wheel functions are working as they should via the Thrustmaster control panel and software.
have you tried plugging it into to the pc and going though its setup again it could be a software issue that need reinstalling?? you can also test the wheel by configuring the buttons with the pc softwear
Unplug the wheel base from both the wall power and USB, then remove the wheel from the base, and walk away for five minutes.
Return to the wheel and install it on the base as if you were doing it for the first time. Crank the wheel collar as tight as you can possibly get it by hand, and tighten the screw down as far as it will go.
I’ve had to this a couple of times in the 18 months or so I’ve had mine - the rim can become slightly loose over time with use, which causes the phantom random button presses you’re seeing.
