Thrustmaster TMX / T150 only works first time after reinstalling drivers

Submitted by narenragu on #1

My current setup:

MacOS Sonoma (Server, 4.6.2)

Windows 10 (Client 5.5.7)

Thrustmaster TMX (same as the T150) wheel connected to mac 

 

After the last fix you made, the wheel isn't showing a Code 10 error in windows after connecting, but I've encountered a new problem. When I connect the wheel, it gets recognized as a generic 'Thrustmaster FFB Wheel' that shows up as a generic controller, and doesn't get recognized by the Thrustmaster drivers. This generic controller registers button inputs in the windows controller setup menu, but doesn't show as an actual wheel. If I reinstall the Thrustmaster driver and restart my computer, I'm able to actually get it to show up as a 'Thrustmaster TMX Racing Wheel' that gets recognized by the drivers and racing sims, but if I disconnect the wheel and reconnect it, it's back to showing up as a generic 'Thrustmaster FFB Wheel'. I can only get it to work again by reinstalling the drivers.

I believe it's a similar problem listed in this older support post?

Actually, no matter what I do, I can't get the driver to recognize this as a Thrustmaster TMX anymore! Even reinstalling drivers doesn't help.

Here's the log after reinstalling driver and restarting PC.

Try removing the reset handler like this. Right click on the wheel in the virtualhere client and select Custom Event Handler and paste in this line:

onReset.$VENDOR_ID$.$PRODUCT_ID$=REMOVE

Unplug the wheel and plug it back in then right click Custom Event handler then put that string in

Hi, I've recently set up my Raspberry Pi 4 to use as the server instead of my Mac to see if that would fix the issue. Unfortunately, this still didn't fix the problem, everything remains the same. I know this isn't a steering wheel issue as this works when directly connected to a different Windows laptop. Any ideas?
