Thrustmaster TX Support

[Austin-2]

Hello,

I was looking for support for a Thrustmaster TX wheel. Mine is the Ferrari 458 wheel, but it is technically a Thrustmaster TX.

https://support.thrustmaster.com/en/product/txracingwheel-en/

From my understanding, this wheel is the same as the T300RS, but for Xbox/PC instead of PS4/PC. The drivers on Windows use the same files.

I was able to get the wheel working with tmdriv, but it did not have FFB.

I would love if there would be support for my wheel on Linux!

thanks!

Works for me in Euro Truck Simulator 2 and Project CARS 2 with force feedback. I don't have a comparison to Windows therefore I don't know how accurate the force feedback is.

Here is the dmesg output (with added comments):

The only thing I did not manage to do is to set up a proper udev rule for the tmdrv script, I just ran it as root - maybe someone can help me with that (/etc/udev/rules.d/50-thrustmastertx.rules):

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="044f", ATTRS{idProduct}=="b664,b65d,b669", GROUP="users", MODE="0666"

Yes, I did reload the udev rules (sudo udevadm control --reload) and reinserted the Thrustmaster TX.

Hi all, is this works for Thrustmaster TMX ?
