System Requirements: Control Panel and driver and firmware updates are only available on PC running Windows® 10/11 or more recent.

In this article, we show you how to check the firmware of your Thrustmaster force feedback racing wheel base: T128 ; T248 ; T150 ; TMX ; T300 ; TX Racing Wheel ; T-GT ; T-GT II ; TS-XW Racer ; TS-PC Racer

The firmware must be up to date in order for your racing wheel to function fully in compatible games on PC and game consoles. Also, a firmware update can sometimes resolve unusual racing wheel behaviors.

 

IMPORTANT: If you have a T248R

The T248R does not use the "PC - DRIVERS FORCE FEEDBACK [TTRS]" driver, nor the Control Panel, nor the "Firmware update" application.
