Configuration for the (unrecognized) Thrustmaster T300 Ferrari GTE Wheel.

Overview

Make the game recognize the wheel and create a key assignment for the T300 Ferrari GTE Wheel. You can most likely use this guide for other Thrustmaster Ferrari wheels or even other unsupported wheels.

Steps

• Download tm_t300rs.xml
  [link]
  and put it in the the following folder
  C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonDiRT 3 Complete Editionactionmap
  You will be able to reassign different keys in the game. But I have configured the file how I like it for my Ferrari GTE Wheel.

• Open actionMapPaths.xml with an editor
  C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonDiRT 3 Complete EditionactionmapactionMapPaths.xml
  and add the following line after line 38
  <xmlreader processor=”ActionMap2″ filename=”actionmap/tm_t300rs.xml” map=”UPDATE” pool=”UPDATE_TEMPORARY” />

• Open devicesetup.xml with an editor
  C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonDiRT 3 Complete Editionforcefeedbackdevicesetup.xml
  and add the following line after line 46
  <FFBDevice name=”Thrustmaster T300RS Racing wheel” scaleForce=”0.6″ scaleFriction=”0.35″ baseFriction=”0.0″ maxFriction=”35.0″ scaleEffects=”0.85″ delay=”0.0″/>

• Start DIRT 3.
  Go in control setup.
  Load the T300 preset.

Wheel options

By default there are configured dead zones. But dead zones for wheels is pretty bad.
I configured them like that:

Force Feedback

I also made a guide that improves Force Feedback.
