Actually I have Win 7 and Win 8, but somewhere I remember to use Win xp so that's what I did on my laptop and it did the trick. Edit: But I use the wheel on PS3 and GT5.!

I contacted Thrustmaster about the insanely low stock in the U.S. I couldn't wait and I bought a g27, but here is my question and their response
Message : Hello, I am having a hard time finding the t500 rs in the states. Only one available is the f1 version on amazon at $699.99 which is way to high... I am looking for the GT version however NONE are to be found. What is going on?
From them:

'received mine yesterday...i like it so far and for the price I'm not complaining..I don't have the f1 rim and this wheel is perfect for all around use.
i was curious to find out if bigger wheel might work with some mod?
I'm working on that right now
Eager to see your mods

Mine's also gone from "loud to acceptable volume" since I used it the first time (might have sounded like it was a new thing - it wasn't, sorry), but at the time, I wrote that post, the fan was way louder, in the start than usually. I haven't had time to use it for quite some time, but as I said, I'll get a video up, once I use it the next time.

Yes it's a wonderful little platform. The only hangup for mounting "any old rim" on there is the DPAD and the small diameter of the hole pattern.
The hole pattern is something I already worked out. The DPAD is another story. Of course, it can simply be covered if a person wants since the actual pad portion literally falls off. (it's held in place by the rim itself)
Pre-made hub/button plate? Yes thanks...

As far as the DPAD is concerned, that doesn't look like anything a sufficiently large drill bit couldn't solve.
The fan just continue to amaze me. I had no idea there existed such crappy fans. And I have had my fair share of turbo jet engine fans. But the thing was those moved a lot of air this fan move no air yet manage to make such noise???
Anybody have a suggestion for a good fan to replace it with?

Just some month ago they where on sale for almost 50 % the retail price it goes fast
Btw is it normal that your T500RS get so hot you are almost getting burned on it. Long since the fan was in top shape but I feel it´s in a seriously bad shape now.
what part gets that hot?? the top??? and it's normal for ANY electrical device to get so hot that it burns your hand lol.

Use a thermometer of some sort, touch the area to get a temp. Shoot a video of this and send it to Thrustmaster. Either a YouTube link or a short clip.
You don't even have to do that, if you say its basically dead not turning they will send you out a new one..Mine was playing up and they wanted the proof, couldn't be arsed so next day i said it was dead, sent out that day no proof required.
.I don´t have any thermometer. I sent an email though with video of it will see if they respond. It should be very obvious this isn´t acceptable. Sounds like it run at half speed now and all that grinding.
Anyway I hope you don´t have to solder or anything to replace it? I watched some guide from fatkakr which involved soldering guns and what not. I confess I seriously dislike heavy modding I can do the nixim brake mod and SRW S1 button box mod and simple stuff like that or build water cooling setups etc but I don´t want to solder stuff or cut wires.
