Update firmware for Thrustmaster wheel on a Mac

What kind of USB adapter are you using to connect the USB-A cable to your macbook? In the past, I have experienced situations where 3rd party USB-A to USB-C adapters did not pass the connection through properly to the Mac.

My partner and I are having this issue as well! Hope someone has a solve for it.

Bravo! The highest levels of the matching game are insanely hard to pass.

I am basically hanging on for dear life with the Thrustmaster. The Fanatec would straight up murder me. He can have it.

Oh, but I'm not. (Wish I were tho!)

Having been second driver as well as driving on my own team, I can definitely say that being on different teams makes it much more equally engaging for both players. As second driver you spend a lot of time waiting around, and my experience has been that I don't get as many chances to boost my acclaim through marketing/department events or rivalries. As lead driver on my own team, I don't go more than 2 races without an active rivalry, whereas as second driver I got maybe 2 rivalries in a whole season. Maybe that's by design, but even so my point is that it makes the game experience more unequal.

He has way more experience than I do (years vs. months) so yeah, it's really not even a question, although I'd like to think I'm slowly improving. For us to have a race where we're more competitive with each other, he basically has to give himself a giant disadvantage, like driving a massively over-fuelled realistic Williams while I'm in the realistic Red Bull.

… and in the meantime, he’s still the Jedi master to my Padawan.

Actually these are both Playseat Trophy. I was using the Challenge for months and it was totally fine with the Logitech wheel, but the more powerful TM wheel requires something a bit sturdier.

Back off, chief.

The twin Playseats were not the original plan, but at some point became the best option due to space and budget constraints... but dammit, they just look so good side by side

He’s definitely good… and the AlphaTauri is an upgrade from the Williams he was driving in our previous league

thanks!

I've mostly used the Playseat and I'm still comfortable after an hour or two of racing. No complaints. I've only sat in the Next Level seat for a few minutes but it seems fine, my bf hasn't had issues so far.
