On PlayStation®3, in the general menu, use your official gamepad (not your racing wheel) to navigate and
start your games. The wheel will work only when the game is started.
PC INSTALLATION
System requirements: PC (Windows®) featuring a USB port.
The CD-ROM included with this product allows users to install the Force Feedback drivers.
1. Insert the installation CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive. Follow the instructions provided onscreen to
install the Force Feedback drivers. Once the installation is finished, click Finish and restart your
computer.
2. Once your computer has restarted, connect the USB connector (9) to one of the USB ports on your
computer. Windows® will automatically detect the new device.
3. Installing the drivers:
Driver installation occurs automatically. Follow the instructions displayed onscreen to finalize the
installation.
4. Select Start/Settings/Control Panel, then double-click Game Controllers (or Gaming Options,
according to your operating system).
The Game Controllers dialog box is displayed; the racing wheel appears onscreen, with the status
indication "OK".
5. In the Control Panel, click Properties to configure your racing wheel:
• Test Device: Enables you to test and view the 5-position Manettino controller, the buttons, the D-
pad and the racing wheel and pedal set axes.
• Test Forces: Enables you to test 8 force effects and to configure the Force Feedback and
Automatic centering effects.
You are now ready to race!
AUTOMATIC RACING WHEEL AND PEDAL SET CALIBRATION
The racing wheel calibration occurs automatically when you connect the racing wheel's power adapter and
USB connector. (This operation causes the racing wheel to move.) The pedal set calibration also occurs
automatically; simply depress the pedals a few times.
5/12
CONFIGURING THE PEDAL SET
By default, your racing wheel's accelerator and brake controls operate in "Separate" mode; this setting
means that the pedals operate on independent axes.
This mode considerably improves precision when racing.
If your game is not compatible with the "Separate" mode, the pedal set connected to your racing wheel will
not operate correctly. You will then need to exit the game and select the "Combined" mode (in which both
pedals operate on the same axis).
PEDAL SET MODE
SEPARATE
(This mode is recommended for most games)
RED
COMBINED
GREEN
• SETTING THE PEDAL BASE MODE USING THE SOFTWARE
(This setting is stored in the device's memory, even after you restart your computer or disconnect and
reconnect your racing wheel.)
- On Page 1 of the Control Panel interface: select the required mode, then click OK.
• SETTING THE PEDAL BASE MODE USING THE HARDWARE
(This setting is not stored in the device's memory: it must be performed every time you start your
computer
up or disconnect the racing wheel.)
- Simultaneously press and release: both pedals (accelerator and brake) and the Force button (2).
NOTE:
If your game is not compatible with the pedal base's "Separate" mode,
we recommend you switch your racing wheel to the "Combined" mode.
6/12
SETTING THE AUTOMATIC CENTERING FEATURE
By default, the racing wheel's automatic centering feature is deactivated.
Most recent games feature their own automatic centering mode.
It is therefore strongly recommended (in most cases) to deactivate the racing wheel's automatic
centering feature and let your game manage this feature. The Force Feedback quality will be
improved.
The automatic centering mode should essentially be used with games that do not feature a Force
Feedback option, or feature only a "weak" automatic centering feature.
• SETTING THE AUTOMATIC CENTERING FEATURE USING THE SOFTWARE
- Access Page 2 of the Control Panel interface.
- To deactivate the automatic centering feature, select "By the game".
- To activate the automatic centering feature, select "By the wheel".
In this mode, you can adjust the automatic centering feature's intensity, from 0 to 100%.
• SETTING THE AUTOMATIC CENTERING FEATURE USING THE HARDWARE
To activate or deactivate the automatic centering featuring directly within your game, simply press the
Force button (2) on your racing wheel. When activated, the automatic centering feature's intensity
matches the value previously defined for the "By the wheel" setting in the "Control Panel" interface.
AUTOMATIC CENTERING
INACTIVE
(This mode is recommended for all Force Feedback games)
NOT FLASHING
ACTIVE
FLASHING
ADJUSTING FORCE FEEDBACK EFFECTS (on Page 2 of the Control Panel interface)
4 settings are available, from 0 to 150%:
- Main forces
- Static forces
- Dynamic forces
- Aggressiveness
NOTE:
Always remember to close the Control Panel interface entirely
before launching your game!
7/12
USING THE 5-POSITION MANETTINO CONTROLLER
The 5-position Manettino controller enables you to adjust your car's settings during a race.
The 5 positions match action buttons 13, 14, 15, 16 & 17 on your racing wheel.
The Manettino system comprises the following:
- A rotary switch that you can move from one position to another
- A pushbutton located beneath the switch
2 operating modes are available:
- Manual mode
- Automatic mode
TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE OPERATION OF THE MANETTINO CONTROLLER,
TEST IT (IN BOTH MANUAL & AUTOMATIC MODES)
VIA THE RACING WHEEL'S CONTROL PANEL INTERFACE
(i.e. the Game Controllers interface in Windows®)
8/12
MANETTINO IN MANUAL MODE
(This mode is recommended and compatible with most simulation games)
1. Move the slider (7) to MM (Manual Manettino).
This mode allows you to allocate any required features to the Manettino controller's 5 icons.
In this mode, the required feature is performed when you press the pushbutton (and not when you turn the
switch) after placing the switch on the relevant icon.
2. To program the required feature, access your game's options or controller management interface, then
configure the Manettino controller with the required settings.
5 icons
Programming examples and available settings
Anti-lock braking: Deactivated / Low / High
Stability Control: Deactivated / Low / High
Driving assist: Deactivated / Low / Medium / High
Traction and control system: Deactivated / Low / Medium /
High
Braking assist: Deactivated / Low / High
When racing, to activate and adjust the required feature:
- Place the switch on the relevant icon
- Then, press the pushbutton once or several times
Many other configurations can be defined according to the features available in your game's options or
controller management interface (e.g. braking force distribution, tire pressure, selecting cockpit view or
other more basic features).
9/12
MANETTINO IN AUTOMATIC MODE
(This setting is recommended for games preconfigured for your racing wheel's Manettino
controller)
Move the slider (7) to AM (Automatic Manettino).
This mode is mainly intended for game developers, who can define preset features for each of the
controller's 5 positions.
In this mode, the programmed feature is activated as soon as you place the switch on the relevant icon.
You can then use the pushbutton (while leaving the Manettino controller on the same icon) to repeat or
adjust the feature.
TROUBLESHOOTING
- The racing wheel and pedal set do not operate correctly, or calibration seems incorrect:
Turn off your computer, disconnect your racing wheel entirely, reconnect all cables (using the power
adapter and the pedal set), then restart your computer and launch your game again.
If this fails to solve the problem, download the manual calibration software Thrustmaster Calibration Tool
v1.03, available here: http://ts.thrustmaster.com.
10/12
- The racing wheel moves on its own during gameplay:
This is normal; it is caused by the automatic centering feature that is available in some games. To stop
these movements, simply place your hands on the racing wheel or reduce the Force Feedback feature's
intensity.
- The racing wheel remains locked to one side (left or right) after I launch the game:
This is normal in some games. The racing wheel will center automatically as soon as you have declared it
as your racing wheel in your game's options management interface.
- The racing wheel is detected by my computer but does not work with my game:
Open your game's options management interface to configure your racing wheel. Please refer to your
game's user manual or online help for more information.
- The Force Feedback feature does not react correctly:
In the racing wheel's Control Panel interface (i.e. the Game Controllers interface in Windows®), restore all
forces to their default value (100%) and deactivate the automatic centering feature (the
indicator
should not flash).
In some games, it is also necessary to invert the forces (in this case, select "negative forces" or move the
cursor to "-100%" in your game's options management interface). In other games, the forces should not
be inverted (in this case, select "positive forces" or move the cursor to "+ 100%" in your game's options
management interface).
- The pedal set does not operate correctly in "Separate" mode
(e.g. in the game, the selection cursor moves around on its own):
Quit the game and switch your pedal set to "Combined" mode. Launch your game again, then configure
your racing wheel once more via your game's options management interface.
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS AND INFORMATION
- When connecting your racing wheel and during the automatic calibration phase: to avoid
calibration errors, do not turn the racing wheel, and do not press any of the pedals or buttons during
the calibration phase.
- If you do not plan to use your racing wheel for a long time, to avoid pointless electricity
consumption and to prevent any damage to your racing wheel, disconnect the power adapter
from the racing wheel. Remember to reconnect the power adapter before you start playing again!
- Your racing wheel includes a Force Feedback feature: Keep young children away from your
racing wheel, particularly during the automatic calibration phases.
For safety reasons, never use the pedal set with bare feet or while wearing only socks
on your feet.
