ThrustMaster T-GT Shipped.

[freedom1104]

One of my friend got hold of the new hot cake thrustmaster T-GT before GT sport launched

 

[marcvic]

Niiiiiice.

1- Did you get to try it out
2- Do you have any experience with other wheels? If so, how does it compare?

 

[AH49]

Looks amazing.

But I will have to think long and hard before dropping £700 on this thing. Get it down around the £500 mark and it's easier to justify (though still hugely expensive).

 

[Tyl3n0L]

Look's great and I'm happy for you.

However that "Turbo" thing is ridiculous. isn't it simply a Power Supply? I would rather have a brick than that monstrous thing

 

[PrisonerOfDoom]

Impressions please!

 

[Castrol96]

I'd love to see POV gameplay.

 

[CodeCmdr]

Seriously, that thing is really tacky and it ruins the image of that being a high-end piece of equipment.

 

[super_gt]

a high-end piece of equipment.

This is not high-end wheel.

 

[Lord Kacperov]

This is not high-end wheel.

Well, it’s supposed to be a high-end wheel, as it’s very expensive. And have you tried it out yet? Because if so, I’d love to hear your opinion!

 

[super_gt]

Well, it’s supposed to be a high-end wheel, as it’s very expensive.

Quite expensive but above this wheel there is CSW from Fanatec and Direct Drive wheels.

And have you tried it out yet? Because if so, I’d love to hear your opinion!

Sorry,no.

 

[Firehuntah]

Well, since we can't install a turbo on cars in GT Sport it's nice that we can at least install one on our rigs. Maybe it'll make you go faster in game?

As for the wheel itself, it looks really good and I do think it's a high-end wheel. The price definately suggests it and it has some neat functions and a lot of dials/buttons, some even only for GT Sport. If I had some more money lying around I would definately get it, but unfortunately I don't.

 

[Lord Kacperov]

Sorry,no.

Yeah, it’s weird how it isn’t a Direct Drive wheel. I mean, it definitely looks high quality, and I guess it’s a high quality steering wheel in general (if the price is right), but it doesn’t have Direct Drive?

 

[Corsa]

Hmm. I don't know.
Am I alone in thinking while undoubtedly a decent wheel, it looks rather cheap/plastic?

 

[PrisonerOfDoom]

Hmm. I don't know.
Am I alone in thinking while undoubtedly a decent wheel, it looks rather cheap/plastic?

Yeah, I will agree it looks a little cheap and “plasticy,” but I’m more concerned with how it performs.

 

[Corsa]

Yeah, I will agree it looks a little cheap and “plasticy,” but I’m more concerned with how it performs.

Agreed.
I don't care for the silver trim at the bottom of the rim, and the GT logo is huge.
But as you said all irrelevant as performance is first.

 

[freedom1104]

Niiiiiice.

1- Did you get to try it out
2- Do you have any experience with other wheels? If so, how does it compare?

1- nope, i was out of town currently so no luck yeah

2- according to him, it probably feels and drive like a TSPC (turbocharged T300rs with more 50% force than T500rs without clipping) but then new feature such as the GT mode and DFB feature probably have to wait till GTS launched only can test it

Look's great and I'm happy for you.

However that "Turbo" thing is ridiculous. isn't it simply a Power Supply? I would rather have a brick than that monstrous thing

Its just a power brick yeah. it probably look daft and toylike

Seriously, that thing is really tacky and it ruins the image of that being a high-end piece of equipment.

it does feels abit plasticy and the wheel not really big. probably same size as the t300rs wheel. but the button and the knob felt really great according to him

This is not high-end wheel.

probabaly not high-end if you compare to fanatec csw v2.5

Well, since we can't install a turbo on cars in GT Sport it's nice that we can at least install one on our rigs. Maybe it'll make you go faster in game?

As for the wheel itself, it looks really good and I do think it's a high-end wheel. The price definately suggests it and it has some neat functions and a lot of dials/buttons, some even only for GT Sport. If I had some more money lying around I would definately get it, but unfortunately I don't.

Well the function of GT mode and DFB is probably reserved for GT sport only.

Hmm. I don't know.
Am I alone in thinking while undoubtedly a decent wheel, it looks rather cheap/plastic?

I would say it look like a t300rs wheel wrap in leather and finishes with knob and plastic casing fit the description.

Agreed.
I don't care for the silver trim at the bottom of the rim, and the GT logo is huge.
But as you said all irrelevant as performance is first.

It probably is the TSPC for playstation.

[AH49]

Nothing seems to works on PCars 2 out of the box.

 

[PrisonerOfDoom]

I just watched a video on YouTube of a Japanese player using a T-GT with Project Cars 2 on a PS4 with no problems. Weird.

 

[PzR Slim]

The ‘turbo’ PSU is one of the most ridiculous things I have seen. Such an expensive wheel shouldn’t need such a gimmick.

 

[Brainhulk]

Who is shipping these early?

 

[PrisonerOfDoom]

Who is shipping these early?

I think they are shipping early in Europe and Japan. No one afaik in the US.

Not out of the box without setting no. And it display itself as t300rs in pcars2

Probably Europe and South East Asia.

 

[AH49]

I take it the T-GT is a major step-up form the T300?

If I was to get a T300 I'd need to upgrade the pedals, which starts nudging you towards the £400 mark. Still another big jump to the £699 T-GT but I feel like holding out on a wheel purchase. Wait for some more T-GT reports and hopefully a modest price drop.

 

[super_gt]

I take it the T-GT is a major step-up form the T300?

In terms of torque,speed,cooling,pedals the answer is yes.In terms of smoothness we will have to watch reviews because the TS-PC Racer/TS-XW are not smoother than T300,

Review of the T-GT by Sim Racing Girl. She didn’t seem very impressed based on the high price of the kit. I have been debating between the T-GT and the CSL Elite and I think I might have to go with the CSL.

 

[danh25]

If you have $ 800 dollars in cash, this is also the place to be XD

For the price of this, you can get a complete Fanatec set up. Wheel, pedals with load cell, and the shifter.

Truth. The shipping sucks ass to the US though. And it's out of stock on Amazon.

Now that is something I wouldn't complain about for $800! I'd turn those effects down a tad though. I'd be uncomfortable with that much brake dive with my TVs attached to it.
