4.1 Vites Kolunun Montajı

The TH8A Shifter can be mounted to a table, shelf, or a racing cockpit. The clamping system accommodates surfaces from 1 mm to 55 mm (0.04” to 2.17”) in thickness.

1. Place the TH8A Shifter on your desired surface.
2. Cl'yi ayarlayınamping system's position and rotation as needed.
3. Cl'yi sıkınamping screw until the shifter is securely fastened.
4. For cockpit mounting, utilize the built-in screw threads after removing the clampsistemi.

4.2 Connecting the Shifter

The TH8A Shifter connects differently depending on your gaming platform.

• PC (Windows 7/8/10): Connect the TH8A directly to your PC using the provided USB cable. The shifter is compatible with all racing wheels on the market when used with PC.
• PlayStation (PS3/PS4/PS5/PS5 Pro): Connect the TH8A to a compatible Thrustmaster racing wheel (e.g., T500RS, Ferrari F1 Wheel Integral T500, T300RS, T300 Ferrari GTE, T150 Series, T-GT) using the DIN cable. The shifter must be connected to the wheel, not directly to the console.
• Xbox One/Xbox Series X/S: Connect the TH8A to a compatible Thrustmaster racing wheel (e.g., TX Racing Wheel, TMX Series, TX Series, TS-XW Series) using the DIN cable. The shifter must be connected to the wheel, not directly to the console.

5. Çalışma Modları

The TH8A Shifter offers two distinct operating modes: H-pattern and Sequential. You can switch between these modes by changing the shift plate.

5.1 H-Pattern (7+1) Mode

The H-pattern mode simulates a traditional manual gearbox with 7 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. This mode is ideal for realistic simulation of road cars and classic racing vehicles.

1. Ensure the H-pattern shift plate is installed.
2. Engage gears by moving the gear stick into the corresponding gate.
3. The adjustable resistance allows you to customize the feel of each shift.

5.2 Sequential (+/-) Mode

The sequential mode allows for rapid upshifts and downshifts by simply pushing the gear stick forward (+) or pulling it backward (-). This mode is commonly used in rally, touring car, and formula racing simulations.

1. Ensure the sequential shift plate is installed.
2. Push the gear stick forward for an upshift (+).
3. Pull the gear stick backward for a downshift (-).
