When you hook up your Thrustmaster wheel to your Xbox One or PS4, it's pretty much plug and play. It's also important you make sure your wheel is in the correct mode. Xbox One wheels on Windows 10 should be fine, but if you're using a PS4 and PC-compatible wheel, consult the manual to ensure the correct mode is selected for PC.

On some, for example, you need to select the PS3 compatible mode for use on PC.The application will display the current firmware your wheel is on as pictured. To check for and install any updates, simply click the check for update button in the lower righthand corner. How to check the wheel before racing. The majority of your wheel setup process will take place in each of the different games you want to play, but there are some things to check before you get started.The Thrustmaster application allows you to check the input of each part of the wheel and pedals, ensuring they're working correctly and testing the force. It's also useful to get familiar with the buttons on the wheel and what each of them is numbered as, because you'll need to know that in the games.One particularly useful feature you can handle here is the rotation lock. If you have a wheel with a 1,080-degree rotation on it, such as the TS-XW and the T150 Pro, you can limit how much of this you want to use. 1,080 degrees is a lot, and unless you're playing something like Euro Truck Simulator 2 or Farming Simulator 19, you're not going to use all of it.Racing games don't really need a lot of rotation, so you can knock it down in here to something less and it will translate to all your games.

Our top Thrustmaster wheelThustmaster makes a number of great wheels, and you can set all of the PC compatible ones up in this way ready to hit the virtual tarmac.

Whether you're racing on console or PC, the TS-XW is a worthwhile investment for the more serious sim racer. Not only does it look like the real thing, but its sophisticated force feedback system feels like the real thing. And if you don't like the Sparco wheel, you can swap it out for a number of other designs. An affordable alternativeThe TS-XW is pricey and sim racing is already an expensive business. If you're looking for something a little less expensive, the T150 Pro is a solid alternative.

So I have a Thrustmaster TMX and am soon getting a new wheel however I never ran FFB above 75% since that is what people suggested but at 75% I get FFB clipping (Besides Once).If I play games like F1 2018/2017 if I put my Overall Strength to 150% and then the rest of the settings like On-Track to 40-50% and Rumblestrips to 60% I no longer get clipping, but is that safe for the motor on the TMX? Well I messaged them about that when I had around a week left in my Warranty which is why I believe they said that and its been the week now so its a tad late. Thats why when I get another wheel in September I will make sure its not Thrustmaster, since if they say it about the TMX I dont see why they would change their ways on a more expensive wheel like the TX or T500.Them saying that kinda confirmed to me to go with the G920 instead since that is pretty bad support if you ask me.

With my experience with Logitech (Customer Support) I can safely say that they are more than likely better than that. The subject of clipping and related stuff is often greatly misunderstood by people, sadly.There are two kinds of clipping - hardware based and software based. The hardware one is affected by your wheel control panel FFB strength and unless the manufacturer of your wheel completely screwed up the settings or your wheel is defective, you should be perfectly fine to set the FFB strength to 100% (or whatever the default settings for your wheel are, I'm not sure about TMX) and not get any hardware based clipping ever. Getting hardare based clipping would mean the drivers are asking the wheel to run at above what the wheel's motor is capable of providing, and again, unless the drivers are not written correctly, that just should never happen. So just set the wheel to default settings in its control panel (that's why they are defaults) and forget about this part of the settings and this kind of clipping.The other kind of clipping is the one people usually talk about. That's software based clipping.

It depends entirely on your FFB settings in that given game. If you set your FFB too high, you will lose detail because the game physically can't ask your wheel to generate more than 100% of it's power, under any circumstances. So even if you set the FFB in the game so high that the game would in theory ask your wheel to generate 200% force, it physically still only ends up being 100% (because 100% of it's currently set FFB strength is all the wheel can offer to the game), anything above the 100% gets lost (aka clipped).

So you then have to set your FFB in the game so that you make as much use of the available 'dynamic range' of FFB as possible - so that your FFB gives you enough information/force when it's low, but only ever reaches 100% (or even slightly above) at fairly extreme situations, like say unexpectedly hitting a curb or something. If you set your FFB like this in-game, you should rarely get any (software based) clipping and your wheel should be perfectly fine running at these settings pretty much indefinitely, unless it's defective or has some kind of design flaw with its cooling, for example (which I'm not aware of TMX having, unlike the T300).
