If you have a load cell modification installed you may have to press pretty hard to get to 100%.

If you have a brake mod installed, you should get the brake slider all the way to 100%. You should probably rotate your wheel and work your pedals just to make sure everything is working. iRacing will only use 900° of rotation so anything higher is basically ignored. Here on the Test Input tab, you should set your Rotation/Angle to 900° or higher. You should occasionally use it to make sure your wheel software is updated.

Note the Check for Update button on the lower right. Thrustmaster T500RS Settings – Test Input Tab Now you should end up with a window that looks something like the image below. In the small window that appears, click Properties. Click Settings (the cog or gear icon), then type USB Game Controllers in the search box. Click Start or the little Windows icon on the left side of the task bar.You can update your firmware quickly and easily using that link. Also note that there is a Firmware Update link under Thrustmaster. In your list of programs, scroll down to Thrustmaster. Windows keeps trying to hide the control panel from users, and they’ve done a pretty good job of it with the latest update to Windows 10, but there are at least a couple of ways you can get into the settings for your Thrustmaster T500RS.

I recommend you install it using the instructions provided with your wheel and pedals.Īfter you get everything connected and get the Thrustmaster software downloaded and installed, you will want to head over to the Control Panel. If you don’t plan to use a load cell brake, there is a brake mod that comes with the Thrustmaster that is pretty good and it’s very easy to install. If you want a really good wheel and a brake pedal that feels like the pedal in a real race car, I recommend ordering the modified Thrustmaster T500RS from Ricmotech. If you want the load cell on your brake pedal, ordering from Ricmotech will save you some work and around $20. The upside to ordering from Ricmotech is that you can get the wheel with the load cell modification pre-installed. Ricmotech’s free shipping isn’t very fast, and it does take them a few days to actually ship your order in my experience.
With that in mind, the only upside to ordering from Amazon is that you are probably going to get your wheel sooner.
If you have Amazon Prime you can save on shipping, but Ricmotech also offers free shipping on items over $100. If you’re in the market for a T500RS for iRacing or any other racing simulation, there are quite a few places you can get them. I recommend this load cell modification for any standard brake pedal. On a side note, I also added a Ricmotech load cell modification kit to my brake pedal. I recently upgraded my steering wheel and pedals from a Logitech G27 to a Thrustmaster T500RS with T3PA Pro pedals.
