@JBF77 , I copied and pasted this from thrustmaster sight.
Automatic” cooling mode:
When you are using the wheel in a game, the cooling fan starts up when the wheel has reacheda certain temperature
after a few minutes of game play, depending on the strength of the Force Feedback effects used
When you’r e done playing: due to the motor’s thermal inertia,the cooling fan continues to operate until the temperature drops below the fan’s startup level Your wheel has beendesigned in this way in order to facilitate cooling, and to protect the motor this may take from 5 to45 minutes, depending on the temperature reached while using the wheel in a
game
“Forced” cooling mode: (requires Firmware V25 or above)
•
In this mode, the cooling fan operates whenever the racing wheel is powered up, and stops only whenthe wheel's USB connector is no longer powered.This mode enables quicker cooling of the motor, and is particularly useful:
-
When playing with a very high Force Feedback setting
-
When playing in a high temperature environment.
Process to switch from the “Automatic” cooling mode to the “Forced” cooling mode
(and conversely):
•
The selected mode is automatically saved to the racing wheel's internal memory(i.e. you do not
need to repeat this process after restarting the wheel).
•
You can switch from one mode to another at any given time (even during a game).
-
Simultaneously press the “ST*” and “MODE” buttons
= The “Forced” mode becomes active (the LED flashes twice).
-
Simultaneously press the “ST* ” and “MODE” buttons
= The “Automatic” mode becomes active (the LE
D flashes once)
