There are a couple of companies who make mod rims for the TGT/TGT2 rim. It keeps all the buttons and dials, but lets you change the rim out. Acelith and SimPush are the two I’ve found, this is a SimPush mod I’m using on my TGT2 wheel currently, it’s been nice. I have an Acelith one as well, that more of an F1 shape.
You can swap basic controllers by simple activating the next one and asigning your same account as the current user.
How do you like the TGT2? I'm trying to decide whether to get that or the T808 for my next wheel.
That’s basically the same reasoning stayed with TM too, I was too far into the ecosystem already to switch. That and I’ve heard to many horror stories about Fanatec customer service. The TGT2 has been a good wheel, with the caveat that GT is your Main/Only racing game. If you also play PC games, other options may be better potentially.
Cool. It sounds like a good wheel with a lot of feedback strength, I'm just hesitant to buy it cause it's so close to the price of the direct drive ones but it's probably the one I'll go with.
If you don't have a rig there is zero point in DD. Highly recommend the GT Omega Art though. Check it out online. Re the TGTII, I have zero complaints so far. Certainly enough feedback for me.
Yeah, I had two rigs going at the time too, so swapping both over would have been a bit much. Nothing really wrong with the TGT2, it still works great for other games, and is a good wheel. The big thing is that the built in bass shaker only works for GT, and the GT specific dials may not be so useful in other games. A lot just seem to prefer to jump right to a DD, by the time they’re spending TGT money these days.
Why do you say that? The stands I build are basically like half rigs (professional Carpenter and Professional sheet metal fabricator) and my chair is a highly customized gaming chair.
Yeah that was kind of the way I was leaning too but how much better can the direct drive really be unless you're going super high end.
Far enough
Also I'm currently using a T300 that I've had to take apart and fix due to a weird obnoxious clicking noise it started making after a dirt race with a terrible setup screwed it up.
I came from a T300 as well, the TGT2 is a pleasant step up from the T300, no doubt. I have zero regrets about choosing it, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it so far. And to be honest, my PC rig has a TS-PC base, which is basically just a TGT without the GT bits, and for PC only. The running internals gear is all the same, as far as I know, just no bass shaker/GT mode. So technically I’ve liked mine enough to buy it twice lol.
Haha, well that's a pretty solid endorsement. I already have the TLCM pedals and the TH8 Shifter which is the main reason I don't want to get away from the TM stuff, though apparently the Shifter will work with other stuff but on PC only.
PC has more sims. Period. And let's not get into the debate that GT7 isn't a sim 😂. You can get ACC on PS5 though. If getting the T-GTII base then get the T-GTII wheel also would be my advice. Make sure to shop around unless money isn't an issue, I managed to get the wheel and base combo for £500.
PC games are neat, and have some cool options, like triple screens and wheels that consoles won’t work with. But in the end, I gave up iRacing to come back to GT personally, it was “too realistic” for me, by is the happy middle ground. PC games have so many options and settings, that I felt like I spend more time navigating menus and reading/learning, than I ever did actually on track. iRacing has some cool features though, like in race driver swaps, and full 6-24h endurance races. Which is pretty cool.
