Hi,
I recently purchased a Thrustmaster T300RS which came with T3PA pedals.
The wheel works great and I have had no problem with it.
I have had issues however with the firmware.
Whenever I switch the PC on it recognises the wheel as simply a 'Thrustmaster FFB Wheel'
I googled the issue as you do and tried the bootloader method here. http://ts.thrustmaster.com/download/accessories/manuals/t300rs/t300rs_bootloader_method.pdf
This worked the first time I did it but hasn't worked since. The only way I can get the PC to recognise the wheel now is to unplug the usb cable and plug it back in. Then it shows up in game controllers as 'Thrustmaster T300RS Racing Wheel'. This is so annoying to have to do every time I want to use it, let alone the damage it might be doing to the wheel.
Yes I have it set to PS3 mode and tried all the obvious solutions etc
Has anyone had a similar issue and found a fix?
I believe this could also be causing a weird issue with my accelerator pedal. Sometimes it seems completely dead as the firmware shows no input when the throttle is fully depressed and won't work in any game, other times the bar will show 50% input. I thought it was a potentiometer issue but not so sure now as the whole set is only 1 week old and had been fine until it started playing up this afternoon. When the issue occurs it feels like i have about a 40% deadzone on the pedal. It's fine now but sometimes PC restarts tend to cause an issue for it when other times it is fine, which is why I am not convinced it is a potentiometer issue.
Once again, any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated
