    Hello, I have T300 + T3PA pedals + TH8A shifter. Today I was setting up the controls but it doesn't detect any inputs of my TH8A shifter, I don't even know if the game detects my TH8A shifter.
    I have the shifter connected to the USB port.

    In the "assignment" menu there is only : JOY (for T300 keys (without any number after "JOY")), in AMS1
    I have JOY1 and JOY2

    The game doesn't recognize any inputs of my TH8A.
    When I try to assign a key (GEAR 1 for exemple), I have the following message: mutiple inputs detected, and nothing happens.

    It works in AMS1 and RFACTOR 2.

    If you have an idea of the problem, I will be very happy.
    thank you in advance

    It is true that the game is in early access but what is curious is that for some it works. I also tried to plug into my steering wheel T300 but it doesn't work either.

    Strange, my th8a inputs are detected in the key assignment tab. Maybe try another USB port?

    Thanks for the reply, but I have already checked and installed the latest drivers, but unfortunately that does not change anything. I really don't understand that it can be the reason.

    Same combination here, and working. Try to make sure your H8 is connected without an usb hub. Plug that thing directly to a single usb port.
    Next problem might be a H8 not on first position on you game controllers settings. Check this please. If the H8 is not in first place, you have to uninstall all gaming hardware, and re-install it in the correct order. First the H8, after that the T300. Since i have the H8 on position one and on a single usb port i did'nt had any problems with it.

    Hi Benz,
    I have an issue for everybody who have this problem (reiza, shame on you to NOT answer to simracers who bought your game):
    For assignate th8a gearbox you have to: 1) put the gear - 2) click on for assignate - 3) back to the center of gearbox - 4) put the gear once again !
    gear 1 = 0 - gear 2 = 1 - etc etc ...
    Thanks to you to tell me if it works...it's ok for me!
    good race

    Hi Vins
    Thank you for your reply
    Unfortunatly it doesn't work
    I'm very surprised it works on the other games like, automobilista 1, rfactor2, assetto corsa.
    Thank you for your help

    It don't help you but work fine for me T500RS and TH8A no problem. And I don't have to do any trick for gears assignment: just click on gear number, set the gear and return to neutral, done, next. If you have other unused USB devices I guess you tried to remove them (possible conflict?).

    Thank you for your interest in my request
    But I don't understand what you mean by "If you have other unused USB devices I guess you tried to remove them" I don't know how we do that, can you explain it to me?

    I mean if you have E.g. an Hotas plugged, an USB HUB for a hard drive, etc. free as much as you can your USB port. It could come from a power problem. I had that when my power supply on my PC was slowly dying, so I needed to only use USB port really needed.

    Have you tried using the "custom" preset instead of a Thrustmaster one? This way it would be looking for multiple USB inputs (instead of everything plugged into the wheel base). I'm having no issue with my configuration (includes a TH8A) using this option.

    Yes I have already tried "custom" but when I do that it doesn't even detect my T300 steering wheel.

    I had this problem and after shutting the game and opening it again I managed to overcome this problem. Well, after this update I deleted the Automobilista 2 folder from Documents so I had to configure my controllers again (T300Rs + TH8). It happened again, my TH8 wasn't being recognized. Again, I just exited the game and started it again and I managed to map the TH8 with no problem. So that's my suggestion, exit and open the game and try again.
