In this article, we show you how to check the firmware of your Thrustmaster force feedback racing wheel base.
The firmware must be up to date in order for your racing wheel to function fully in compatible games on PC and game consoles. Also, a firmware update can sometimes resolve unusual racing wheel behaviors.

Important :
Control Panel and driver and firmware updates are only available on PC running Windows® 10 or more recent.
Game consoles do not have access to firmware information.
