system detects and "loads" my Thrustmaster 150 but nothing works.. I try to set up throttle etc and get no response.
You may have goofy numbers saved. Try this in the calibration screen. Press and HOLD the throttle. Then click the max button. release and press the min button. If your throttle responds then you have cleared that issue. So repeat for left / right / brake / clutch. Even if, at first, you don't see any results.
huh, I hadn't used rf2 since the jump to v1121 and now my fanatec gear is ignored as well. Tests fine in windows. Nothing calibrates in rf2. Double Huh.....found the problem. My saved profile was assigning everything to Joystick2. (i.e. press button 1 and it's assigned as Joy2button1. That was a working profile. But I had to re-assign everything. And this time, the joystick was listed as Joystick1. Joy1Button1. Once I changed all my previously working assignments and re-saved the file, everything worked as expected.
