Maybe the reason the L3 and R3 buttons are the base is so that even if you swap out different wheels you can still access all the functions easily.

They're like that in the t150 too, so maybe it's just a thrustmaster thing

I think it's safe to say that Thrustmaster is the only company that actually caters to its customers. I absolutely despise most direct drive companies

Thats a very fine point. Simucube is basically a company that despises poor people.
@HappyWheelFan201317 сағат бұрын
I would mostly agree. Thrustmaster is basically the oldest sim wheel manufacturer that's still at it. I have a T818. They purposefully made certain things separate for the sake of increased profit margin; however, they learned from this on the T598 and included items like a desk clamp/mounting kit. They also just recently released an entire QR UPGRADE (not adapter) that attaches to a good amount of standard-style TM rims (I believe 9 of them technically) how the original twist on adapter section of the rim attaches to the rest. It comes with proper cabling too and removes the adapter situation. Very cool option. They definitely listen for the most part, but they REALLY like to take their time on showing that they're listening. In my opinion it's always been worth it to wait so far. T818 was the best sim racing decision I've made and blows my Moza R12 setup out of the water even AFTER the recent Moza FFB update, which did noticeably change the feel for the better. Thrustmaster cares about a really good feeling wheel that caters to most sim racers in one way or another, but I will say it is almost sinister how early they announce products before they're actually ready for release 🤣 I think they said they were working on a console DD for the future right when the T818 was ANNOUNCED too. And they only just finally released it in the form of the T598, which is an awesome wheel it seems, all things considered. I'm not a Thrustmaster fan boy, but I do think their FFB drivers have consistently been best-in-class. I was impressed to find that my opinion still stood tall when they entered the DD market. Thrustmaster just gets it in a way others don't 🤷

I've gone with Simagic and haven't looked back. Even replaced my TH8A shifter with a Moza HGP and feels way more solid than the toy feel Thrustmaster has. I am still using their TLCM pedals but I would still consider Thrustmasters market to be towards console players and people just getting into sim racing and don't want to fiddle with software. If they did a way with the plastics and made the included wheel rim more enthusiast grade right out of the box they would probably peak more interest in the competitive market against other entry level DD wheels. People are looking for the most immersion when looking at products like this and part of that is quality of materials.

I'm not seeing that. Very Happy with Simagic! Also I see Moza trying to cater to different customers too. Im really only able to think of a few companies that id agree with in that, but even then a couple of them are deliberately targeting a high end market with no corners cut. If you want corners cut here and there, then there markets for that too. This isn't as good a simucube obviously. You get what you pay for "mostly"

Honestly I hope that Thrustmaster will do a shaft extension that allows you to put the monitor rightly behind the wheel, because it looks really tall and that breaks the immersion tbh

You shouldn't be using your wheel as a leverage point for getting up and down on any wheel. Yea sure some are pretty strong, but none are designed with the intent to support the vertical forces imparted by holding a person's weight 🤷 Edit Also TH8A. Lol. I know it looks like an R on the box. But come one man, bare minimum requirement when you review a product is to know what it's called. 😂😂

The beneficial thing is that TM has a decent wheel selection, though the retrofit/adapter for the new QR does cost about $30usd, but the newer rims do have the retrofit in the box
@KayoMichiels17 сағат бұрын
You could improve the grip and feel of the rim, by wrapping it with tennis grip tape. I've done it with all my rims and it does wonders! Plus you have a wide selection of different tapes to choose from.

If your circuit breaker has tripped a lot you might need a new circuit breaker if you don’t have enough plugged in to trip it. They can only trip so many times before they get weak and begin tripping at lower amp draw.

2:34 Dayum boy! This cool! I did not saw such comparison/demonstration anywhere else so I had no idea that DD wheels have such coging! I own belt driven wheel from Thrustmaster T-GT II and I thought that DD wheels do not have any coging/grind feel ETC. Or that if it exist then it is suppressed somehow by software/firmware. Sadly no test on PC games. But you did good job and very informative on this wheel! Good s&&t man good s&&t!

I also have had issues with it tripping my circuit breaker. Usually happens about an hour into play with the wheel at 100%. When I've turn the power down to 60-75% I haven't been able to trip the breaker.

As much as i love the price and the wheel, but man that base is just too big. I can't place it lower, so i would need to put my Monitor higher, but then i would sit below the monitor looking upward(this is what you are doing, except when you play VR), but that would strain my neck too much. Too bad :/
