Re: thrustmaster sprint

I had the same problem, though taking it to pieces, then cleaning & rebuilding didn't do a thing for it. I even gave up out of sheer frustration & went the FF route. I know that doesn't help much, but you aren't alone!

I am having trouble with my Thrustmaster at the moment. It keeps losing its calibration after a couple of minutes use. This happens in any sim that I play, such as N3, GPL, Toca Touring Cars 2, CMR, any ideas? do I just need to take it apart and clean it? regards nigell boulton

That wheel is pure cack... trash it and buy a better one. I bought mine and 2 weeks after it started loosing calibration after 30 min of racing (pulling left and right randomnly). You always get your money's worth. Nigell Boulton wrote:

Sounds very familiar story to me also... 3 wheels broke in a couple of months!!

I'm probably the only one whos actually happy with this thing (other than the god awful pedals). Mine had a few calibration problems when i used the TM calibration but when I used custom calibration it works fine. HOWEVER...some games dont like MY setup so I have to go back to the TM version. But its really not to bad now. I cleaned the pots and whatnot and it runs fine. I'm thinking of getting a LWFF though when I get some money...I'm finally getting sick of these stupid pedals.

My other Brother-in-law (the one that does not make his own wheels and pedals!) has a Sprint. He was having problems with the wheel not turning to the right, it would turn left well, just not right. Took it apart and was going to replace the pot . . . SO . . . I took it to my brother-in-law that makes, wheels and pedals, and he noticed that the connector to the steering pot was slipping. We put some glue/epoxy of some sort on it and all is well. I could never drive with them dinky pedals! SLG "Nigell Boulton" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Geez, you guys are tough on wheels...My first T1 wheel lasted for about a year before I had to replace anything. I broke a spring... Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Own Grand Prix Legends?

I have the same problem. I believe it is a software problem. I wish they would update the driver. Brett Jeremy Jackson wrote:
