G29 is pretty darned cheap right now but TM wheels usually have better Sont support, which should I go with, G29 or T300RS VS?
Personally, I wouldn't go with a G29 because it's just a G27 in a different package (deadzone, linearity, internals, all are exactly identical, just look up the graphs on the web). Besides that, it's an old technology (gear driven) wheel with a new technology price. The T300 is a modern wheel (belt driven) and the FFB is a lot better (e.g. less deadzone, more lineair and more power). There have been some reliability issues with the T300 in the past, not sure if those still apply (but someone will fill that in no doubt).

I have a G29 and I remember being in your shoes I use to have a G27 and was deciding G29 and T300 and I went with the G29 and honestly I'm glad I don't have to worry about G29 breaking however I know that the T300 is a better wheel as in FFB which is why I would've got it back then so I could buy an adapter to hook up my G27 pedals with the T300. I'm more of a serious sim racer trying to improve my speed week in. Week out so FFB is huge. However Pedals are important as well and that's where G29 or G27 has the advantage and I bought a $20 brake mod from GTEYE which has been great. More progression braking. There's Nixem as well which I've considered getting it (cheap as well) too see how much better it is.G29 is pretty darned cheap right now but TM wheels usually have better Sont support, which should I go with, G29 or T300RS VS?

I've given my opinion on this to so many people it's ridiculous.G29 is pretty darned cheap right now but TM wheels usually have better Sont support, which should I go with, G29 or T300RS VS?
Everybody has said the Thrustmaster T300 RS is the superior wheel.
I ordered a T300 RS with Ferrari F1 Add-on just an hour ago thanks to the recommendations of a few guys here.
My entire set-up cost €600 so I will be kicking asses if it doesn't meet expectations.
The GTS wheel does look pretty cool but will it's launch be held until GTS arrives? You would have to assume so.Only reason I haven't is the T300 RS came 2 years ago, I may wait and see the new GT Sport one.

The GTS wheel, if its direct drive as claimed is not going to be cheap, likely way above the wheels being discussed here.I'm trying to buy the best I can, even if it means spending $600 but I want it to last. Going with the GTS wheel is probably a safe bet since I assume Sony would support it for a long time.

Personaly I had Logitec wheels back in the PS2 and PS3 days and got on OK with them, just the deadzone issues can be a pain (and in AC you can't currently dial that out either).
I now run a T300 rig with the T3PA pedals and TH8A Shifter, but started off with a T150 and did a quick brake mod to get some progression on the brake pedal, its a great wheel for the money and supports all the Thrustmaster upgrades.
As Scaff mentioned above, the new TM wheel is direct drive. I'd be shocked if it comes in below $US750 without pedals. I'm expecting at least $US999 with the T3PA's and no shifter. I'm also in the market for a new wheel and this new TM wheel is on my radar. I'm hoping it comes in in this price range but I'll wait for reviews to assess the reliability.I may do the T300RS if they lower the price, $400 for a 2 year old wheel is not smart IMHO, the only reason I mention GTS is because it will be the only good FFB wheel to be released this year(the newest one now I think its sept 2015).
I currently have a T80 so I'm not extremely starved for a wheel more than I'm dissapointed with AC support for my wheel.
I think it will be a single belt drive wheel just like the new Fanatec CSL Elite wheel and the price will be around $500USDAs Scaff mentioned above, the new TM wheel is direct drive.

Your problem might be fixed soon 👍I currently have a T80 so I'm not extremely starved for a wheel more than I'm dissapointed with AC support for my wheel.
CSL base + wheel + pedals for 700 bucks can be seen as competition for that T300 too (on PC):As Scaff mentioned above, the new TM wheel is direct drive.

Might want to check some people's opinion on the pedals too, as I spoke only about the wheel and their technical differences. 👍
Don't forget about the T500rs, which comes with the pro set of pedals, and is slightly larger rim than the T300. The paddles are static but that's never been a problem for me.
The pedals are the issue here I think. The 2 pedal set you get with the T300 are good but no where near as good as the Tp3 Pro's you get with the T500rs. I have the basherboards stiff brake mod on mine, makes it feel like a loadcell. It's all upgradable/interchangeable too which is great.
The only problem with t500rs is that the button on the steering does not let you navigate ps4 menu .

True, but is that really a problem? I usually use a pad for menus or launch the game with my tv remote if my pads not to hand.
T500 is the cheapest route to a set up with the pro pedals.
If you live in the U.S. get A Trustmaster T300 from WalMart, they offer A 4 year Service plan. That's A Win, Win. That's what I did. You get A great wheel and peace of mind. just in case the worst happens.
I certainly wouldn't use fade and fail as interchangeable terms in that way. All wheels of a level up to and including the T500 will experience ffb fade. The Fanatec V2 is the first point on the way up through the ranks where fade is completely (or all but) averted (not including a judgement on the recently announced CSL base). It happens gradually while driving, and it's easy to be lulled into not realising it's happened. Ironically, Fanatec's lower end wheels are probably the worst offenders with their literally 2-3 dollar motors. Fortunately for you, you have a wheel with a maybe one hundred dollar Buhler motor that copes much better, but will still fade.I've noticed a lot of T300 users saying the feedback fades or stops after long use. I've never had this with the T500, after 100,000 miles+ of virtual driving it's never failed.
Maybe I'm just lucky, has anyone here had fade on T500?
