Top! enigste defitge info over het evrschil tussen de twee op het web!

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

Is idd niet makkelijk om verschillen te vinden ook al beweren sommigen bij hoog en laag dat er zoveel verschil tussen is 🙄

[@tommysteinberg4802]

Had the T-GT since original release. Love it. Happy i dont need to upgrade

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

Absolutely brilliant wheelbase.

[@Dave062YT]

Very nice ,every aspect covered in detail.....T-GT II with TLCM pedal set is the very best belt drive combination and equal if not better than entry level DD wheels .I love the feedback from the pedals as well as through the wheel and very similar to Trueforce in the Logitech Gpro

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

We agree agree agree... except for the Logitech DD part because I still am looking for a pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow to purchase and test it 😇

[@PauloOliveira-xg9xt]

+1 I have a T-GT II, ​​if I were to buy it would be the G PRO by TRue Force. I've already tried a DD PRO but I miss the T-FDB, whether it's fake, lose detail or whatever, the immersion in Gran Turismo is another level. Maybe buy it when the price of the G PRO with pedals goes down.

[@Dave062YT]

@@PauloOliveira-xg9xt Sadly I dont know if the price will go down .I paid £1262 for mine and its only gone up so far .When TM finally make their new DD for ps as well as pc it will be a better choice if price is an issue

[@Dave062YT]

@@PauloOliveira-xg9xt Honestly the T-GTII is a great wheel so I would ve happily kept using it if I didnt have the money.but I did and have never regretted buying the GPro its just the best ,end of story

[@PauloOliveira-xg9xt]

@@Dave062YT When I tested a friend DD PRO, I really missed the vibe of the T-GT II, ​​so i wasn't too thrilled to upgrade. But compared to what i hear G PRO i feel that a DD with additional vibration like G PRO would be fascinated. Money will not be a problem if programmed for a few months, as i'm happy with the T-GT II i can do this with time. And, maybe in a few months there will be an adapter for the T-LCM, would be gold for us that we already have one.

[@jeffy141]

Nice review bro!

[@marcianzero_yt]

This was really interesting. 23.000 hours are like 15 work-man-years. So a team of couple of people wasting their work-year. Or perhaps they couldn’t source the microcontroller of the T-GT1 any more, then they sourced another one. They ported the code to the new controller in like 100 hours and included the 22.900 hours the supplier for the creation of the new microcontroller. And because that one has a higher clock rate or IPC the responsiveness is technically higher than on the older T-GT. As I had bought the initial version I was having the old fear of missing out… But I also think they increased the msrp on the newer base to cash in some more… Thanks Neosphinx.

Hello and congratulations for the tutorial, can you please tell me if the front engine ring is made of aluminum or plastic?

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

side of the steering wheel, it seems to be plastic.

[@AKK5I]

Great comparison I will still hold on to my TGT wheel base after seeing the new T818 doesn't have a buttkicker style transducer or console support. Direct drive is something I would like to try but its not necessary

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

Same here... tried it, but dont really "need" it 👍👍👍

[@kalebasphalt]

Save up more and get the Logitech Pro Racing Wheel. That does have Trueforce and use the T-LCM or the T3PA. I don't own any of these but based on hearsay that's my two cents worth.

[@AKK5I]

@@kalebasphalt I looked at the g pro and it's a nice package, but it costs $2000 aud in my country, basically a months wage for me. It doesn't have any aftermarket rims atm and I don't like floor mounted pedals (I have a TGT with the t310 square wheel and the t3pa pros with a load cell mod). I basically only play gt and a bit of acc so it doesn't seem like a worthwhile upgrade for the price increase imo

[@kalebasphalt]

@@AKK5I You don't have to get the pedals - they are only so-so. Just get the base + wheel would do. Otherwise, sticking with the GT-optimised T-GT is more than enough for your use case.

[@AKK5I]

@@kalebasphalt yeah but you kind of have to if you play on console

[@KP-rl7ct]

I bought a T-Gt 6 months ago and made the same conclusions. The two bases are practically identical, and overcharging by 2 is not justified. I am extremely satisfied with my base, but if I had to get it new for the same price I would have chosen Fanatec Csl DD.

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

Excactly... too expensive retail-price in comparison with the Fanatec offer but for the rest, also a happy T-GT user here

[@vtg1800]

How you feel use TGT 2 belt driven? I want buy this wheel but worry about belt driven. Some people said direct driven are more smooth and silent no sound. But DD Pro are expensive I think, but Moza not support PS5. I confused bought TGT2 or DD Pro? Now use G29 I think this noisy and must gap in the wheel, uncomfortable

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

My favorite wheelbase for playing Gran Turismo on PS5 is still the TGT. Yes direct drive is a bit smoother, but because TGT is already a very good base, the difference, especially on Playstation, is not so big. If you would play on PC, I would say buy direct drive, but for Playstation, coming from G29,.you will be very happy with the difference. Just try to buy second hand for cheaper price. I made a video long time ago between tgt and fanatec dd on PS. Perhaps it can help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4PIlqmuZ5WcpK8

[@vtg1800]

​@@SimulatedDrivingResource Thanks for kind answer, smoother wheel it's not like driving real car without vibration I don't it, these like driving a toy car, because real car every road have different vibration on wheel. I change my mind after watch your video, I choose TGT2 with shifter TH8A this better option I think, because I want special detail in GT7. Good video mate 👍

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

That is my main problem with most direct drives. You dont "feel" the shifting or revving. They are too focussed on smoothness and details of the road. I am glad I could help. Enjoy the drive friend 💙

[@vtg1800]

@@SimulatedDrivingResource Thank you mate for honest review, have good day

[@billynolanjr2266]

Great review but my question is where does the TS -XW fit in this ? It has more NM than the T GT 2 so it's more powerful on paper anyway ? And is a great base , How is the T GT 2 better ? I always thought the TS -XW or PC was thrustmasters flagship?

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

I have good news... I bought both a second hand ts-xw and ts-pc and will do a video on them probably first week of 2023. I will try to compare these then with the T-GT.

[@billynolanjr2266]

Just a question. Do you play with the XW on ACC? I find the FFB very weak in comparison with EG. BeamNG but perhaps it are my settings.

[@jujuboyn9862]

Hello the TGT 1 base and well compatible with the ps5 because I can't make it work

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

Yes it is compatible and normally plug and play. Dont forget to push the PS button (to assign the wheel to your user). If that doesnt work, try to change the GT slider to the other position.

[@tb6539]

hi i really enjoyed your video i have a question which you or anyone else reading this may be able to help me ? ive owned the TGT ( first one ) since 2018 has never given me any problems however when i power it up and it calibrates each time it stops at end of each rotation like spins to left extremely loud thud and then when it spins to the right theres an extremely loud thud !! now i thought this was normal ? untill i saw a video of sim racing garage by barry rowland on you tube now when he started the tgt up it softly came to a sto on each calibration spin ? so i sent a video of my tgt start up to thrustmaster support and they said it was not normal and that i should send it to them for repair at a cost of £220.00 as its out of warrenty . I did some research and found on line an article which stated thrustmaster are aware of a minor problem of the electrical motor inside the tgt there was also a link for a thrustmaster calibration tool 3.0 which apparently resets the electrical motor ? i could not download this link ? has anyone ever heard of this or tried it and again the main question is should the tgt stop and make a loud thud at the end of each wheel rotation during the initial start up of the wheel please can anyone advise me thankyou in advance Terry

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

I have not experienced the issue, however the tool you mentioned does have a certain effect. On a group I moderate on FB, there was someone that experienced a similar problem, but there the wheel stayed completely right. So yes, it is a possibility it may fix your problem www.google.com/search?q=txrw_calibmotor_v3_00&client=ms-android-samsung-rev2&source=android-home&source=hp&ei=w33RY6GwIOyJi-gPl5ORkA8&oq=calibmotor+&gs_lcp=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&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-hp

Mine makes a weird noise and the fan is very loud

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

Have you tried opening it? Sounds like a clogged up fan 😕

[@lennertester]

@@SimulatedDrivingResource no, I don’t know how to. I’m afraid I’ll break it. It’s only a week old. What is a clogged up fan anyway?

[@lennertester]

I don’t know if it’s bad but it also smells very weird.

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

@@lennertester ok no, it can't be a clogged up fan then. Over time dusts starts to form on the blades of the fan making it work harder to cool the base and making more noise but that cant be it with a new base. This weird noise is all the time? If you would need to describe it, what does it sound like?

[@lennertester]

@@SimulatedDrivingResource 1) the fan is extremely loud. 2) when i turn the wheel it’s like something is keeping it from turning, idk how to describe it. 3) it also smells a bit funky, idk if its because its new but i don’t like it.

[@boxboxbox624]

That's very disappointing. I never used the T-GT and went from Logitec G29 to T-GT 2 "pack" so no pedals as I purchased the T-LCM pedals. I believed I was purchasing the best that Thrustmaster had to offer but now I feel naive and somewhat scammed out of my money. The only positive I see is if I went down that Fanatec rabbit hole I'd still be waiting for my purchase!

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

Well, to be fair, it's a good base either T-GT or T-GT 2. I still use it and don't plan on choosing something else soon but yes, TM can be a$$holes when it comes to marketing. But in the end, they make good products.

[@PauloOliveira-xg9xt]

Are you comparing a G29 with a T-GT, to feel naive? I will wait to see the your feeling when you buy a DD PrO (I already tried it).

[@janochicago5356]

you say that t-gt1 is almost the same, t-gt2 is a completely different steering wheel because it doesn't work with the new gt7 vr technology. I listened to you and bought t-gti open box, no return, no guarantees for $430 = tax and it doesn't work with gt7 ps5. and I could have it not much more expensive and I would have a new t-gt 2 from the manufacturer for $630. but I listened to you and lost $430 + tax because you said it was the same. you cheated me and it is punishable.

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

Afaik, it works and TM agrees. support.thrustmaster.com/en/product/t-gt-en/ Please take your technical issues to them.

[@AngelusFromHell]

So basically it's a restyling, not a real evolution.

[@SimulatedDrivingResource]

In my opinion. Yes. Why change a winning product. There are not many wheelbases out there that can rival the TGT on the Playstation platform. The TGT 2 shouldnt have existed or at least be something more like a T818 for console.
