For a long time i think the FFB of the T500 RS has been...Uhm.. Not as powerfull as it should/could be (atleast on Comfort or Sport tires) nor with its spinning speed at oversteering or while transitioning in drift.
The FFB been re-altered in "Ninja" updates during this ~half year GT6 been around.
Personally i prefered the "original" forces than what came during stealth updates.
So I got quite exided when i saw this in Undocumented Changes for 1.09 - "T500RS Sync fixed".
First time on track: I must say that they finally given the Wheel some of the power it deserves, as i imitiatly feelt the need to turn FFB Down EVEN on CH tires.
Sadly (as im a bit of a driftguy), this update has some serious oversteer/countersteer fails! Sure there´s alot of power from the T500, but its not possible to be smoth in a oversteer - the Wheel simply snap-back to center or stops its counter-steer before Lock and then giving a snap-back. Don´t know how to describe it, but its definetly uncomfteble, and smooth (counter)steering is not there at all. I went from FFB 8 - FFB 3 so it´s certanly not the force numbers that creates this oversteer issue.
I´m really glad they buffed up the forces on the T500! Unfortunely - The issues above makes the update a problem.
On a site-note the GT5 2.09 update included this:
"Improved the force feedback control of the Thrustmaster TS500RS Steering wheel controller to improve steering feel. This improvement will allow more precise countersteer on dirt and while drifting."
[2. day Morning EDIT]
Ok, maybe i made a minor mistake. It "might" be possible I *forgot* to pull the power-cord on the T500rs and have been switching between PC and PS3. The last couple of days. Soo DO NOT change between PS3/PC without turning off the power supply completely - just switching/pull USB connection will only mess up your wheel behavior. Crossing fingers this fixes some of the wierd feel i´m expirencing. Will test tomorrow.
Keep on sharing your opinion(s) regarding this update for T500rs.
