iRacing pedal calibration won't stay

[bountyhunter9]

Hey all,

I just picked up iRacing, and as a part of my starter kit, I picked up a Thrustmaster RGT FFB with clutch. (planning to upgrade if I enjoy the sim world)

However, after I started up, I took care of calibrating my wheel, turning it and clicking done, ect. Then it goes to the pedal calibration. I push the throttle, then the brake, then the clutch. (the wizard shows the dot moving up and down as i press each, just like I would expect) I exit the wizard and go to test/race. The throttle, brake, and clutch do not work. I exit, and try to just set up the thruttle and brake, and skip the clutch. Same problem. (whenever I go back in to re-calibrate the pedals, it says that the buttons are unassigned. I also noticed that the configure controls button on the top of the screen never turns to test)

Just for kicks, I tried setting the throttle up to a face button, and then it worked. I don't want to play this way. Any idea why the throttle and brake will not work. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

Are you calibrating it thru the home page intro or when you enter the actual sim? as a temporary fix try calibration under "options" every time you enter the sim. I don't know what the real reason is but try that and it might last while you're in the session (and you might have to re-calibrate each session), or try plugging the pedals into your computer if you can. I don't know the RGT at all but I hope those general temporary fixes might work. good luck

Thanks,

I did try that out. The pedals plug into the steering wheel, and the steering wheel into the computer.

I tried both the general, and the options screen in-game. No go. Any other ideas?

no idea, you can check the sim racing hardware section or contact thrustmaster maybe

I'd definitely post in the Hardware forum on iRacing also.
