Thrustmaster T500 RS - profiles for each game?

[RobertLidstroem]

Hi!

I'm playing 4 games at the moment, F1 2013, Assetto Corsa, Simbin-pack (Pride & Glory mostly) and rFactor 2.

Now my old logitech wheel had this smart thing called profiles where you could set specific settings to each game. So if i was running F1, i'd decrease the wheel-turn-ratio to 200-250 degrees, etc etc.

Is Thrustmaster telling me they don't have any of that?? The controlpanel is quite useless, yes i know i can adjust the turning of the wheel in it, but thats the general setting.

So, when driving F1 I want 230 degrees, when i play simbin or assettto corsa i want 900 something like a normal car. How do i do this? Don't tell me i actually have to set the degrees when starting a specific game EVERY time?

Any helpful hints?

It's very useful
Just make different profiles and only need to enable the game settings.

Another option is to use on-the-fly degrees of rotation adjustment, but I prefer the above app to adjust the forces also.

If you press the "mode" button and "Left or Right" on the d-pad it cycle from 270 to 1080 degrees. It has 270, 540, 900, and 1080

I made this a long way back :

There are tons of stuff not finished, but the basics work.
You can create profiles for your games (pointing to the executable exe-file) and they will be applied automatically.

I *think* this is 64-bit only; can't check right now...

Never got around to finishing it, or "releasing" it, but if there's enough interest I will take another look at it.

Hey, thanks a million! I will give this a go for sure! I use 64bit anyhow

What i don't understand is why Thrustmaster is so dumb that they don't make their own!? Do they seriously think race-simmers only race one game forever?

I play rallygames, f1, games, sim-games (ie assetto corsa), trucksims etc etc...

I agree with You. Incredibile that a old weel logitech have this software, And a new modern weel have Not.

Still no T300 profiler ?

Do you guys know if something like this exists for the TX wheel base?

Lars,

I used to use your software and found it very useful, especially the auto loading of a profile per game. But for a while now it hasn't been automatically applying the settings I have had to click on the profile and apply manually.

I did ask TM if they would look at adding a profile manager to the software and was told they would look into if for a future version, but, hmmm, we'll see.

I will write to TM as well.
Don`t see any other options for me as a TX owner. :/

I have a TX wheel. I've been looking for something with profiles aswell, but didn't find anything. So right now I'm in the process of making my own application that works for the TX wheel, I just have to figure out where the settings is being saved to, from the original configurator

EDIT: Alright, figured it all out. Working on the application now

Doesn't the profile manager work for the TX?

No, by the looks of it, it uses different keys in the registry

Hi,

It would be nice if you could tell where the settings are being saved.
Thanks
