As far as the readme states, the wheel is supposed to show up as a generic thrustmaster product. But mine shows up as "Thrustmaster TMX GIP Racing Wheel". I bought this wheel only a couple months ago and it has the latest firmware version. Maybe this behavior was changed by thrustmaster along the way?

If needed i'd be willing to setup a usb packet capture. This wheel is the only thing i still need to boot windows for.

The aim of this driver is to initialize, if necessary, a Thrustmaster FFB Wheel and make it appear to the system as the "real" wheel and not to provide any further support for input or ffb.

If necessary another driver has to be implemented.

I suspect it is necessary to send a specific usb packet to wheel when the input device is open like for the t150 and the t300
