🏎️ LMU Thrustmaster FFB Resetter

A modern, standalone utility designed to fix Force Feedback (FFB) loss in Le Mans Ultimate (LMU) and other sim-racing titles for Thrustmaster wheels.

It works by programmatically resetting the USB driver stack for the wheel without physically unplugging it, allowing the game to regain control.

🧐 The Problem

In Le Mans Ultimate, a known bug causes the Force Feedback to completely cut out during a race. This usually happens when the USB communication hangs.

• Simply resetting FFB in-game often fails because the driver itself is unresponsive.
• Unplugging the USB works, but is dangerous and slow mid-race.

💡 The Solution (The 2-Step Fix)

This tool enables a safe, two-step recovery process that takes less than 5 seconds while driving.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: The Workflow

To successfully restore FFB, you must perform these two steps in order:

1. Step 1: Hardware Reset (THIS APP)

   • Press the button you bound on your wheel using this app.
   • Result: The USB device restarts. You will hear the Windows disconnect/connect sound. The wheel may auto-calibrate briefly.

2. Step 2: Software Reset (IN-GAME)

   • Go to Le Mans Ultimate Settings → Controls.
   • Bind a button (keyboard or a different wheel button) to "Reset FFB".
   • Press this button AFTER Step 1 is complete.
   • Result: The game detects the re-connected wheel and re-initializes the physics.
