Dave, you get all the pedal adjustability a man of, uhm.. "ample" manly proportions needs
o+o <--- 74.5mm ---> o+o
The 3 holes are spaced 12.5mm apart, so you can move each the pedal closer or further by that much.
On max the pedals would be 99.5mm apart and closest would be only 49.5mm apart.
oo+<---- 99.5mm ----> +oo
+oo<- 49.5mm ->oo+
Thats a lot of adjustability.
I just realized that every pedal has 4 holes on the back, and owners must fix them using only two screws. I understand that each pair of screws are used for a different angle:
In any case, if any of the users who already own a T500 RS could upload a photo of the pedals turning around this piece, I would be grateful.
I feel so eager to this particular issue, but it is important for me, because I will play with the pedals turned around since the first day I buy its, and it is something that I can not personally try in a store.
So you've been using Fanatec pedals for way over a year (irrelevant), they are better than a TM - which you haven't used (speculation) - and I'm a fraud??? You are HILARIOUS!
BTW using any phrase that includes "my _______ are way better than _______", without actual proof, sounds more like a teenager defending his choice vs. an adult open to discussion.
Sincerely,

It sure does take all types. Now - in the light of day and after an early morning visit to the range, some time spent cleaning the pine needles from the rose beds and a nice fizzy cup of Lucozade and a Marmite sammich, perhaps my frustration at the entire T500 dev team was a little over the top - I just hold the ergonomics consultant to account for it, bet he/she never played a game in their lives
Well I've never experience the G25 but no doubt there is difference between gear and belt. There is advantages of both even in real cars. (the steering wheel uses gears and the fan uses a belt) As far as noise my Gt3 is louder pulling against the FFB ( a sawing noise) than G27 but G27 is louder when driving in dirt.
The rubber pads also have those same 4 holes, so combined with the pedals 3 vertical and horizontal holes, the 2 pairs of vertical adjustment threads on th epedal shaft you can see that you have many many many options.
You can offset the pedal plates to the left or right, the gas pedal can be raised and the rubber pad can be reversed changing the angle. Combined with the ability to tilt and raise the entire pedal box (depending if your cockpit has a flat pedal base or is angled) no one can say that the Frenchies over at Thrustmaster don't have a foot fetish of some kind... gotta love them, always the lovers never the fighters
Discovered another little engineering/design fauxpaux by the TM team.
While reversing the pedal plates to do the "hanging pedals' thing, I noticed the pedal shafts are not threaded, the 4 holes are populated by pressfit hexbolts.
That is all 4 holes, even though only 2 of the holes are used at a time. This means after you are done trying out different pedal plate positions you end up with the "pressfit" hex bolts in various stages of "almost in the holes".
The result is a couple of the looser hex bolts falling out as you test the pedals - hex bolts scattering over a hardwood floor is arecipe for "lost parts". Not a game changer, not worthy of a groin shot, but still a little silly that this passed their QC. I can see many frustrated pedal owners needing new hex bolts at 1am on a Sunday morning.
