I was new in the Thrustmaster T300RS-thread and I asked questions that may have been answered somewhere else already, but couldn't find the answers.
This is why I want to open this thread for the Thrustmaster T80 wheel, as nobody else seems to have done, maybe due to:
I currently play GT6 on my PS3 with a Logitech Driving Force EX (2 pedals only, no clutch, and I can pull the FF cable because I prefer to play w/o FF).
Anticipating Drive Club and Project Cars, I bought a PS4 and a T300RS.
After I installed the T300RS on my PS3 I was completely shocked about
1.) the strenght of the FF (even in position 1 FF is WAY TOO STRONG (for me));
2.) the rotation angle 1080 degrees leeds to situations where I have to steer cross-handed through hairpins or even change the grip! Currently you can change the wheels angle of rotation (see description below), but that doesn't work properly in GT6, as you have to re-do it again each time you start a new game or even if you just restart the current race!!!
3.) The resistance of the pedals is way too high (for me), coming from Logitech where there is nearly no resistance at all and even in my real life car, the resistance of the pedals is much lower.
After driving 20-30 minutes using the T300RS, I have cramps in my arms and feet and even holding the car on a straight road isn't easy, given the strenght of the FF.
My main 2 questions were now:
1.) Does anybody know a way to reduce the strenght of the pedals-resistance to a normal level?
2.) Does anybody know a way to reduce the strenght of the FF (a possibility to switch off FF alltogether would just be great and I would owe the person a
3.) Changing the wheels angle of rotation is a GT6-problem as I understand (see Note 2 at the bottom of the picture below; I managed to change it to 270 degrees but with this setting no car is driveable!). This may be better resolved in DriveClub and Project Cars!?
In short: I would like to behave the T300RS (or any other wheel???) very similar (or the same) as the Logitech Driving Force EX.
Anybody can assist me to achieve that?
P.S.: I definitely don't miss the clutch pedal as I most of the time drive with Automatic, and for shifting with the paddles... who needs a clutch pedal?
Thank you very much in advance!
To which I got the following, very helpful reply:
I now ordered the T80 from Amazon on Saturday morning 01:40 for 88,64 € and got the shipping notice the same Saturday 22:34 (!), not even 21 hours later.
Meanwhile (opposed to the massive negative critics on that wheel), I have also seen some positive reviews on YouTube about it, and now I just want to share experience, opinions and Q&A about it with everyone who feels like having to say something about it.
Special thanks once more to fatkrakr, who showed me this wheel which (as I hope and expect) will be exactly what I wanted and Need!

) are to their lowest. 
I didn't even really know about that one myself.
