Noticed Thrustmaster are also now finally selling separate rims without the center hub as well now.

You can get the 32r evo rim only for £90, I presume it'll also fit the hub that the Sparco r383 & r310 have as well.

Won't fit the the old gte or 599 hub though unless you're willing to drill a hole in it so you can access the d-pad.

On another note I wish they'd just release the T818 black edition on console, I'd definitely take it as I'm already in the eco system, but I'm definitely not buying the T598 as I'd rather just go all in for a Moza setup.

I owned a T-GT for six years. Always thought this was almost the perfect GT wheel. And it still is just that. If only they had given it that extra inch and made it 12"/30cm. 11" is toy and formula territory - 12" would be the perfect all-arounder.
 
I have been waiting for an eternity to upgrade to DD finally but don't want to spend extra for unnecessary items I really won't use. Hopefully Sony/Thrustmaster will release an AIO for purchase at retailers soon. Especially after confirming everything in the ecosystem is compatible, I'm glad I waited. I'll probably give it 'till Black Friday if they announce an AIO package but if not then hopefully BF Deals will apply...

I'm aiming for the same but the RS50 looks great out the box, but not having pedals as part of the package makes it a more expensive proposition.

What do you chaps think of the new "engine roar" feature ?

It complements my bass shaker and partially relieves the "motor vibration" load in the simhub, I use it on the medium setting. This is a great feature for additional immersion in VR

I have just added an SF1000 wheel to my T598 base...are there any settings I should be changing in the T598 base itself to play GT7 (we used to just play F1-25).
 
FORZA HORIZON 6 [PC] + T598: Great Force Feedback settings!

- Recommended steering wheel rim: EVO RACING 32 -
- Additional Harmony FFB (High-Frequency Torque) is functional at launch (with GEAR JOLT & ENGINE ROAR 😍)


On the screen Dashboard of the T598:

- Steering Rotation = 900°

- Select "FFB3"

- Master gain = 100%

- Mode = E (Extreme)

- Inertia = OFF

- Friction = OFF

- Boost Low = + 2 (less if you want less vibrations effects)

- Boost High = + 2 (less if you want less vibrations effects)

- Speed = EXT (Extreme)

- WHEEL Damper = always keep at 0% (important as damper will reduce a lot FFB details)

- GAME Damper = always keep on LOW (important as damper will reduce a lot FFB details)

- Spring = the slider is automatically adjusted by the game (not necessary to change)

- Gear JOLT = HIGH

- Engine ROAR = MEDIUM

- End Stop = HIGH



In the options of the game: (in SETTINGS / AVANCED CONTROLS):

FORCE FEEDBACK:

- Vibration Scale = 0.7

- Force Feedback Scale = 1.1

- Center Spring Scale = 1.0

- Wheel Damper Scale = 0.5

- Mechanical Trail Scale = 1.0

- Force Feedback Minimum Force = 1.0

- Force Feedback Load Sensitivity = 1.0

- Road Feel Scale = 1.2

- Off-Road Feel Scale = 1.0

-Steering Lock Multiplier = 1.0

-Steering Speed Sensitivity = 0.5


SETTINGS / DIFFICULTY:
