Thrustmaster’s renowned proprietary H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) system gives racers the opportunity to experience incredibly lifelike sensations, thanks to magnetic sensors allowing for up to 16-bit resolution. In this game, with the TMX racing wheel, you need to adjust the STEERING WHEEL ANGLE to 140° at least, in SETTINGS / GAME / STEERING WHEEL ANGLE. The T500RS had a spring based brake pedal, which allowed you to stiffen the brake pedal by installing a spring mod.

The conical brake mod is where these pedals really come in to their own. The T3PA-Pro pedals come with two brake mods in fact. The first is the spring based brake mod from the T500RS pedals. This is OK, and effectively makes the brake pedal stiffer. It’s best to follow the guidelines to ensure that nothing goes wrong when you start racing. Also, failing to install the appropriate software affects how the pedals work. When gaming on a PC, for instance, it’s best to ensure that your Thrustmaster pedals are set right in Windows. Thrustmaster Pedals Sliding to the FloorThese are designed to work on all T range Thrustmaster wheels, and they should be a must buy for those who have a T300 or TX racing wheel. If you already have a T500 RS, these are practically the same but with the extra braking mod. As mentioned, the design is almost identical to the T500RS pedals. That isn’t a bad thing. Unlike some cheaper pedals, the T3PA-Pros feature a full metal construction. This really elevates the perceived quality of this pedal set.

When you notice that your Thrustmaster pedals are not working as they should, you should first examine them to pinpoint the possible cause of the issue. Fortunately, it’s easy to fix most pedal problems on Thrustmaster pedals without consulting the company’s customer support team or finding a technician to fix the issue. Then there is the new conical brake mod, which is from the standard T3PA pedal set. The conical brake mod is a piece of high-density rubber, shaped like a cone. Potentiometers are the heartbeat of Thrustmaster pedals. When debris builds up on the pedals, it can infiltrate the potentiometers, thus causing the pedals to malfunction.The pedals themselves offer a huge amount of customization. This is possibly our favorite part of the pedals. You can adjust the spacing between each pedal by mounting the pedal plate in one of three locations. If the potentiometers in your Thrustmaster pedals approach the end of their lifecycle, your pedals’ efficiency will start to dwindle. This doesn’t mean that you should replace your racing wheel and pedal altogether. Instead, you’ll only need new potentiometers. Malfunctioning brake pedals are also a major issue of concern to sim racers. Just like is the case with a real car, your virtual car’s brakes are its most important system. on this game we recommend to reduce wheel’s angle of rotation and to adjust Advanced Wheel Settings)

This introduces progressive braking, and can be configured in a range of configurations to adjust the progression rate. The conical brake mod can add up to 70 pounds of extra resistance in to your brake pedal.

The pedals that come with the T500Rs look very similar to these, but feature a spring brake mod. It certainly isn’t to the same quality as the conical brake supplied with these pedals. The PC should also be calibrated to match the pedals’ settings. Keep in mind that Thrustmaster pedals don’t always correct themselves by default to rudder axis or toe brakes. Thus, you first need to calibrate them when you switch from one game to another. Cleaning the Potentiometers This allows you to run a closer brake and throttle pedal for heel and toe downshifting, if that’s your style. The most common problem with Thrustmaster pedals is underperformance. Many sim racers who use Thrustmaster wheels have at some point had problems with accelerator pedals that only rev to 3000 or thereabouts.
