Thrustmaster SF1000 Firmware Update V6.27 Released

A freezing issue on PC and Playstation consoles has been fixed, and various new features for EA Sports F1 23 have been added, with Thrustmaster SF1000 Firmware update V6.27 released.

The Thrustmaster Formula Wheel Ferrari SF1000 originally became available in 2021, as a replica of the wheel found in the F1 car, officially licensed the Italian manufacturer winning their 1000th Grand Prix in 2020. It includes a 4.3″ interactive screen, 21 lights for revs and marshal flags, 25 buttons, seven encoders and two thumb wheels. And included native integration with F1 2020 at launch.

Obviously there needs to be updates to catch up with games which weren’t released when the SF1000 first appeared, so it’s a good idea to check your firmware every so often. You can find out what the wheel is currently running by pressing the E5p encoder and chacking the Racing Wheel Paramaters on the wheel screen menu.
