Frequently Asked Questions - TMX Pro Force Feedback THRUSTMASTER

How do I connect the TMX Pro to my console?

Connect the wheel's USB cable to an available USB port on your Xbox or PC. Then connect the power adapter. The wheel will auto-detect the platform.

Can I use the TMX Pro without the included pedals?

Yes, you can use any Thrustmaster T-series pedals (sold separately) via the RJ12 port on the wheel base.

How do I adjust the force feedback strength?

In the game's control settings, adjust the force feedback slider. On Xbox, you can also use the Thrustmaster Control Panel on PC for fine-tuning.

Will the TMX Pro work with PlayStation consoles?

No, the TMX Pro is designed exclusively for Xbox and Windows PC. For PlayStation, consider the T150 or T300 series.

What is the recommended cleaning method for the wheel?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe the wheel surface and pedals. Avoid alcohol or abrasive cleaners.

Do I need to install drivers for PC?

Yes, download the latest Thrustmaster drivers and firmware from the official website for optimal performance on PC.

How do I mount the wheel to my desk?

ATTACHING THE RACING WHEEL

Attaching the racing wheel to a table or a desktop

1. Place the racing wheel on a table or any other horizontal, flat and stable surface.
2. Insert the fastening screw (11) in the attachment system (10), then tighten the device by turning the screw counterclockwise, so that it feeds into the large threaded hole (9) located beneath the racing wheel, until the wheel is perfectly stable.

ALWAYS NEVER

WARNING: Never tighten the screw alone, without the attachment system in place! (This could damage the racing wheel.)

ATTACHMENT / REMOVAL	DIRECTION
To tighten:Turn the screw anticlockwise
To release:Turn the screw clockwise

AUTOMATIC RACING WHEEL CALIBRATION

The wheel automatically self-calibrates when you plug the racing wheel into an electrical outlet and connect the racing wheel's USB connector to the Xbox One. During this phase, the racing wheel will rotate quickly towards the left and the right, covering a 900 degree angle, before stopping at the center.

WARNING: Never touch the racing wheel during the self-calibration phase! (This could result in improper calibration and/or personal injuries.)

MODE BUTTON AND INDICATOR LIGHT (8)

MODE button for the pedal set

The MODE button allows you to electronically swap the accelerator and clutch pedals. To do so, simply press the MODE button (8) for 2 seconds.

The racing wheel's internal memory stores whether the pedals have been swapped around or not.

THRUSTMASTER® DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE EVENT OF INJURY RESULTING FROM USE OF THE PEDAL SET WITHOUT SHOES.

Warning – Pedal set pinching hazard during gaming sessions

* Keep the pedal set out of the reach of children.
* During gaming sessions, never place your fingers or thumbs on or near the sides of the pedals.
* During gaming sessions, never place your fingers or thumbs on or near the rear base of the pedals.

AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION OF PEDALS

IMPORTANT:

• Never connect or disconnect the pedal set from the base of the wheel when the wheel is connected to the console or PC, or during gaming sessions, to avoid calibration problems.
  = Always connect the pedal set to the wheel before connecting the wheel to the console or PC.
• Once the wheel has self-calibrated and the game has started, the pedals automatically calibrate themselves after being pressed a few times.
• Never press on the pedals when the wheel is self-calibrating or when your game is starting up, to avoid calibration problems.
• If the pedals are not functioning correctly or appear to be improperly calibrated, power off your console, completely disconnect your wheel, then reconnect all of the cables (including the power supply cable and the pedal set cable), power the console back on and restart your game.

ATTACHING THE PEDAL SET TO A COCKPIT

• Attach the pedal set using the small screw threads located on the underside of the pedal set.
• Screw two M6 screws (not included) into the cockpit's pedal support plate and into the two small screw threads located on the underside of the pedal set.

Important: The length of the two M6 screws must not exceed the thickness of the cockpit's pedal support plate plus an additional 10 mm, to avoid damaging the pedal set's internal components.

Layout diagrams for cockpits are available at http://support.thrustmaster.com: click Racing Wheels / TMX Force Feedback, then select Manual or FAQ.

ADJUSTING THE PEDAL SET

Each of the three pedals includes:

• A metal head (8) with multiple perforations (nine for the accelerator – six for the brake – six for the clutch).
• A plastic head support (7) (placed between the head and the arm) with four perforations.
• A pedal arm (6) with two perforations.

ATTENTION: To avoid any calibration problems, be sure to always disconnect your wheel's USB cable from the console or PC before making any adjustments to your pedal set.

Adjusting the HEIGHT of the accelerator pedal

• Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (4), unscrew the two screws holding the metal head (8) and its support (7) in place.
• Select your preferred height position, then replace and re-tighten the screws so that the metal head (8) and its support (7) are held firmly in place.

Adjusting the SPACING of the three pedals

• Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (4), unscrew the two screws holding the metal head (8) and its support (7) in place.
• Select your preferred position (to the left, centered, or to the right), then replace and re-tighten the screws so that the metal head (8) and its support (7) are held firmly in place.

Examples illustrating the brake pedal:

Number of possible spacing positions per pedal:
- Three for accelerator pedal
Three for brake pedal
- Three for clutch pedal

Adjusting the INCLINATION of the pedals

• Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (4), unscrew the two screws holding the metal head (8) and its support (7) in place.
• Turn the plastic head support (7) 180°, then replace and re-tighten the screws so that the metal head (8) and its support (7) are held firmly in place.

Examples illustrating the accelerator pedal:

Number of possible inclination positions per pedal:
- Two for accelerator pedal
- Two for brake pedal
- Two for clutch pedal

Installing the conical stop ("CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE" mod)

This modification (or "mod") is not essential, and is not installed by default. This means that the brake pedal functions perfectly even if the mod is not installed.

This mod lets you experience a different feeling and resistance when braking. It's up to you whether or not to install it, depending on your own preferences.

• Screw the conical stop (2) onto its metal support (1).
• Screw the position adjustment nut (5) onto the bottom (onto the conical stop's screw thread).

- Position the unit at the back of the brake pedal's arm.

- Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (4), attach the unit using the attachment screw (3) and the small central screw thread located on the underside of the pedal set.

The "CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE" mod is now installed!

Adjusting the brake pedal's RANGE of travel and STRENGTH of resistance

By slightly unscrewing the nut (5), you can further strengthen the resistance of the brake pedal by moving the conical stop (2) closer to the back of the pedal's arm (if necessary, use a 14 mm wrench or pliers to re-tighten the nut and maintain the selected position). The closer the conical stop is positioned to the back of the pedal's arm, the greater the strength of resistance will be.

Mechanical assembly diagram showing a valve mechanism with rotating components and directional arrows (no text or labels)

Note: When the conical stop is very close to the back of the brake pedal's arm, you may experience difficulties in reaching the maximum calibration value. Should that be the case:

* Slowly, press very hard on the brake pedal so as to reach the maximum value (if necessary, stand very briefly on the pedal – just for a second), then release the pressure; or else
* Move the conical stop a bit farther away from the back of the brake pedal's arm.
