TM TX wheel calibration problem.

[KWAKAMAN]

Hi.
Sorry if this has been answered before. Think I have read similar somewhere but I cant track it down.

My Thrustmaster TX wheel ends up side down after calibration. Start up. (180 degrees out).

Have updated to the latest firmware so its not that.

Using on a XB1. I turn on the power, then connect usb to xb1, which fires up the Xbox. Tried visa versa also.

Should I connect the wheel the xbox is booted?

Sure I have read somewhere that a hard reset and power brick disconnect has to be done to do a total xbox reset.
Not sure if I have dreamt this or not..lol.


Anyway... anybody know a cure to get wheel to end up the correct way after its start up process?
By the way. The wheel works perfectly apart from the start up sequence.

Sounds normal to me, If i plug in my TX when the xbox is on the dashboard my TX will calibrate past center like yours. Try loading the game first before plugging in the TX and it should calibrate normally.

You should always turn on the XBO first, then connect the wheel to the XBO. I've found strange things to happen if you don't follow this process in that order. That being said, it shouldn't really matter where the wheel ends up after calibration as long as its centered properly when you're in a game.

Im also on the One...I was having similar issues but the wheel didnt stop completly upside down like yours...Maybe a little to one side...Since I use a headset when I game my "boot up ritual" is different as follows.....Turn Xbox on with contoller, plug headset in controler, start game with controller (just to main game menu), plug wheel into wall socket, plug wheel into Xbox..BUT about 3 weeks ago when I powered my wheel on it would go thru the calibration/lights would come on but when it stoped it was upside down and lights go off. Tried to plug into PC but it wasnt even being recognized. After a few emails to Thrustmaster with a video of what it was doing, they said it was the breakaway cable giving me problems. They sent me a new one and it has been doing great since

Yea, that definitely sounds like a USB connection issue and the break-away cable has been known to cause problems for some people.

The calibration is completed after you press on the XBONE Guide Button or connected to a PC game. Once you plug in the USB cable the wheel spins up to determine the rotation limits in the left and right directions and then comes to a stop at somewhere near the middle of it`s rotation but this is not the final calibration.
