Playable. I've made some improvements to the dynamic updating of effects, and while still far for perfect, the experience is slowly getting better and better. Some drawbacks include possible effect inaccuracies in comparison with the Windows driver and in some games inconsistent pedal mapping. Meaning that all pedals should be detected in games, but may be mapped incorrectly.
Anycase, this version is usable in most force feedback games, supports rangesetting as well as gain and autocentering along with most force feedback effects.
While I haven't personally come across any crashes or lockups with this version, I can't promise that they won't occur under any circumstances.
With that in mind,
- Unplug wheel from computer
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Kimplul/hid-tmff2.gitmakesudo make install- Plug wheel back in
- reboot (not strictly necessary, but definitely recommended)
Done!
- Unplug wheel from computer
sudo ./dkms-install.sh- Plug wheel back in
- reboot (not strictly necessary, but definitely recommended)
Done!
⚠️ Warning: There have been reports that this driver does not work if the wheel's firmware version is any other than v. 31. To update the firmware, you will have to fire up a Windows installation and update the firmware using the official Thrustmaster tools.
- Change range:
Write a value between 0 and 1080 to
/sys/bus/hid/devices/XXXX:044F:B66E.XXX/range
- Change autocenter and gain:
Use the default evdev ways, i.e. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.1/input/ff.html
-
Currently there is support for this driver in oversteer(https://github.com/berarma/oversteer), and ffbwrap(https://github.com/berarma/ffbtools) should work just fine.

If the wheel has a deadzone in games, you can set up a udev rule:
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-joydev.rulesSUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="044f", ATTRS{idProduct}=="b66e", RUN+="/usr/bin/evdev-joystick --evdev %E{DEVNAME} --deadzone 0"
This should make sure that the wheel behaves like you'd want from a wheel.
- Change timer period:
There have been reports that some games work better with a different timer period (see #11 and #10). To change the timer period, create /etc/modprobe.d/hid-tmt300rs.conf and add options hid-tmt300rs timer_msecs=NUMBER into it. The default timer period is 8, but numbers as low as 2 should work alright.
