It's great that you addressed clipping, but I want to make a slightly more in-depth note about it: You can get two main kinds of clipping, FFB signal clipping and FFB power clipping.
Basically FFB signal clipping is what happens when the FFB "gain" (not necessarily FFB level) is turned too high in-game. In perhaps more relatable terms this would be like the "Max Force at Steering Rack" in RealFeel, or the Gain setting in AC, or the Tyre Force in pCARS. This controls how "big" of an FFB signal (on a range of 0-100%) a certain force in the steering rack simulation causes. So for example lets say our FFB system is set so that a force of 100 results in a 100% FFB signal, and turning a car at max cornering power results in a force of 200 in the rack simulation. You set the gain to 0.5/50%, you get a force of 100 as a result and that results in a 100% FFB signal when cornering at max power. Gain to 0.25/25% and you get a force of 50 resulting in 50% FFB signal when cornering at max power. Now if you set gain to higher than 0.5/50%, you get a larger force than 100 at max cornering power. With 1.0/100% gain you get a force of 200, but you can only send out a 100% FFB signal. So you end up with a 100% FFB signal when only cornering at half power, and anything above that doesn't change anything in the feel of the wheel. This is clipping, the wheel will get to max power very quickly, but you lose half of the possible information you could get out of the tyres while cornering.
Additionally some games have an overall FFB level adjustment in addition to this gain. For example in pCARS you have such a system. This allows you to limit and scale the FFB output of the game, for example if you have a wheel that's so strong you're afraid of hurting yourself. This allows for weird setups like a high FFB gain that clips hard, basically turning into an on/off style FFB (which some people like) but limiting the maximum power with the FFB level setting so that the wheel isn't thrashing about wildly.
So that's FFB signal clipping, the FFB signal itself hitting and staying at 100% even when there should be variation in the forces based on in-game events. That sort of clipping can be detected by the game and it's easy to account for, just look at the FFB meter and lower your FFB gain until it stops clipping.
The other, slightly more difficult issue is FFB power clipping in the wheel itself, outside of the game. This is when the FFB settings on the wheel itself are adjusted so that you're asking more from the wheel than it can deliver, and it responds with the same power output you can feel in your hands when being fed with a varying signal. This is the reason T500 and T300 models are usually run with 60-75% overall FFB setting, because anything higher won't increase the maximum power of the wheel, it'll just make it reach the same level of max power with a lower FFB signal level. A T500 set to 100% will start hitting its maximum power output at roughly 70% FFB signal strength, so even if you have perfectly set up non-clipping FFB settings in the game, the wheel itself is causing a third of the FFB range to result in the same power output. Similarly on the CSW V2 you can increase the FFB to over 100, but this doesn't make the maximum power of the wheel stronger, it just makes it get there earlier and clips the wheel's FFB. This is problematic because a game can't see it happen, you need to be able to somehow measure the force produced by the wheel, either by actually measuring it (a force gauge, some benchmarking tools like the WheelCheck program available on iRacing forums) or trying to feel when adding power stops making a difference.
Ideally the wheel would produce 100% of its strength when the game is sending it a 100% FFB signal, 90% of its strength when sent 90% FFB signal, and so on. With that and a well setup in-game FFB that doesn't clip too much you can get both maximum power out of the wheel together with maximum information, making the FFB useful at telling you subtle things. And getting a more powerful wheel (like a direct drive servo wheel) will enable you to do that while bumping up the overall level of forces, making that "subtle" information less subtle and more obvious. =)
+jubuttib Question. What would be the "Ideal" setting i should set my Thrustmaster Control Panel at and "In-Game" Settings at. I am just having a really frustrating time trying to wrap my head around all of this.
The wheel is no good at all...is rubbish..exactly that it is.
Another great video. I'm happy with my t500 and tx combo to cover all the games I want on any platform so never really needed this wheel but glad I watched this review just for the force feedback and clipping tips. Many thanks, great work as always.
I love how the final thought where Darin hoped for an ecosystem has come true. I'm picking the 599XX rim, T300RS Base, T3PA Pro pedals, and TH8A shifter up to get back into sim racing.
I'm thinking about the integral package with the 599XX Rim and T3PA Pedals, how is the 599XX Rim for you? :)
At the end when you got ''off track'', your ecosystem story actually happend now. Thrustmaster should thank you.
Hello and thank you ISR for all your great videos! Earlier today I pasted a video link on my last comment of the problem I have encountered with my T300 wheel. Thrustmaster promptly contacted me back and is having me send the wheel in for repair. All I had to do was follow the simple instructions they emailed me. I posted this on here because I have heard negative things about Thrustmasters customer service and how you have to jump through hoops and cross your fingers to get anywhere with them. To me that was not the case. To sum up I thank you Darin for your great review of this wheel, I was leaning towards another fanatec wheel when your review persuaded me to buy the t300..
Awesome man! I have the italia already and trying to save for this one as well. Great videos!
Mark Hink Thanks for watching !
I got this Racing Wheel on Friday and just found out that the red light on it wasn't working. Or it was vaguely blinking which clearly indicated to me that it wasn't working properly. I am now trying to get a new one. Thank you for the review! :D
Thanks Darin. Great review and very informative. Keep up the good work!
Good review Darrin, thanks. One tiny bit of info. The Tech ade pedal overlay shows "Software Clipping" IE the sim reahcing 100% of possible output. It doesnt know what your wheel can handle.
Great review Darin ! A bit jelly as always but i love it !
Nice review Darin,
Some good info.
Keep doing what you're doing :-)
Thank you for these T300 RS videos, my DFGT broke few days ago (ffb motor burned when I was playing GT6), and now I am planning to get this wheel because it's PS4 compatible and seems great quality.
I assume the pedals are still better than the standard DFGT pedals? If yes, I am fine with them because I am not a hardcore sim racer.
Thank you for the video - after watching this - i decided to Order one, and so i did - i want the T3PA Pedals - but at my local computer store there's allready 33 Other people who have ordered them, and i dont think ill have the chance to get em any time soon - but soon as more come in stock , i think i will buy the better pedals
I just got a T300rs to replace my G27. I'm not looking forward to the pedals and lack of shifter though, so I'm keeping my G27 as well until I can afford the T3PA pedals and the TH8 shifter...
Can you make a fresh review of the g27, which comes with tips for exampel, how to adjust the software to get the ultimate feel. It was a long time ago you made that review.
Does anybody have problems with their t300 feeling notchy when they turn it, even if the wheel is off. Like as if there's notches that the wheel snaps to every 5 or 10 degrees instead of turning smoothly
Doing this review with the pedals that come with the rim would have been a smart choice.
yes darins right about clipping
dirt3 literaly woreout my last g27 out
bustedup inside plastic boss broken off due to ffb
new one has all the screws..old one was missing two lol
Good review Darin...thanks!
Good review Diran as usual. How dose it compare in term of ffb only to the Fanatec CSW. be very interesting to hear your honest comparison.
MrSrimera Thanks and I'm not fond of the PC drivers Fanatec uses to implement force feedback. They're decent but Thrustmaster wheels since the T500 has always felt better IMO. The CSW has a smoother turning mechanism but I prefer Thrustmasters. For the price especially considering you could buy two T300s for the price of just the CSW base.
TM also needs to make it easier to get spare parts, such as Pots for the T500RS pedals.
I Leave the settings as they are on game. i go into the t300rs game controller software settings. and change the ROTATION to 360% I turned down ffb force to 70. and damper off totally. i never use damper any more. everything else on full. and the gain in the game. is set to 110 a little high i may have to turn it down more. but it feels great. i use to have my rotation on 900 but i got the idea from gamer muscle videos on youtube the rotation settings at 360% are perfect for F1 cars.
Thanks for the review, really liked all the testing and presentation about it, so impressed with it that i subscribed to your channel.
Wondering if you can help me with a question, i recently bought the T300RS (still on the way to me), but wondering about the pedals, from the review i see you like a lot the Derek, and they seem great, from the review i saw they were tested a lot on PC, but wondering if they will also work on the PS4?
Pabula Thanks for watching and for the comment. The DSD pedals won't work on the PS4 unless someone makes an adapter for them. They are for the PC only and require a stand alone USB port.
Inside Sim Racing Can you do a review of the Derek speared designs T500rs and G25/7 wheel hub adapter? I'd enjoy it.
You can get them at www.derekspearedesigns.com/wheel-adapters.html
Well, i guess they listened^^ I bought the T3PA-Pro and TH8A a while back and now it's finally time for my Logitech EX to make room for my new T300 GTE :)
Good review Daren ! i know you tried the accuforce some time ago , how is it compared to the t300
Eric Bergeron I love my T300 but the Accuforce is in a different league to be honest. It's also going to retail for a lot more.. www.isrtv.com/pc-racing/simxperience-accuforce-pricing/
There wasn't any actual review in this video. It was a tech segment with pros and cons slapped on at the end. Love the channel, but this video isn't exactly as advertised.
+Anthony Rossomano What should have been added to make it an official review in your eyes?
+Inside Sim Racing (same account, different profile) While the video was very informative on how to set up the wheel for different games, there didn't seem to be much discussion about how the wheel actually performed in the different games you tested. For example, in the Pros list, it was said to have very good FFB, but I don't recall seeing much of that discussed during the video. I would've liked to have seen more discussion put in that direction; was the FFB precise and strong (maybe some games moreso than others)? Was there any fade during long play sessions? Any compatibility issues? Perceived durability? Ergonomics? Some of this may have been covered, but it was either done very briefly and/or in the PS3 review; at least a few of these items should be significantly different enough from the PS3 to warrant discussion. Either way, hopefully this is helpful insight; I'm not looking to rain on anyone's parade :)
Hey ISR, could you make a little bit of a more in-depth comparison of the T300RS and T500RS? I got a killer deal on a T500RS a while ago and have been loving it so far, but Formula cars and drifting have felt a bit weird to me. It's as if I'm not really feeling the slides and such as soon as I should, like the forces hit me a tenth of a second too late or something. I figured it was just a weird feeling I had because I wasn't used to wheel yet after switching from a G27.
But then I was at the Custom Motor Show at Elmia last weekend and there's a simracing section that I spent quite a lot of time at (winning a gift card for setting the best lap around Lime Rock was among one of the things :D) and I got to try a T300RS there as well, it was on Assetto Corsa with a mod car on a mod track (think drift Evo or Silvia or something on Anderstorp) but the wheel just felt so incredibly smooth and on point, to the point where it almost feels like I regret getting the T500 over the T300 (even though I got it for less than a T300 new).
The forces went through the wheel so well, the slightest change of direction and force hit me immediately and I had no trouble what so ever throwing that car around drifting and catching any little mistake. I don't know if it has something to do with the car and track, like it was smoother because the track didn't have all the little grainyness and bumps that Kunos add to their tracks, or what it was. I'm just wondering if there really is such a substantial difference between the too, because if there is I might actually sell my T500 and get a T300 instead. I remember reading/hearing about similar complaints around the time the T300RS came out but I can't find it any more, would love to know!
Just curious as to what you thought the T300RS compared to a Fanatec ClubSport v2 wheel?
$540.00 in Australia , I think the Fantatec 911GT2 wheel and the CSR Elite pedals for $200.00 less seems a better deal?
Richard Anderson That's what i just bought a couple of weeks ago, but i have had to send the wheel back already which worked fine but the alcantara covering was starting to come off already and i had a small stone glued under the alcantara which was pissing me off. The after sales support was ok they paid for the shipping to get it back to them and they are sending me a new wheel now should be here any day now. I also just today bought a Thrustmaster shifter add on cause i didn't like the way the Fanatec shifter knob can rotate and has play in it, also the added adapter you have to buy from fanatec was pretty stupid i thought. That's my 5 cents!!!
When plugging t300rs into pc for firmware update I notice ffb setting is at default,does this need to be turned to full when playing on ps4
Does anyone have a recommendation for a wheel and pedal set (preferably with clutch) for a strict budget? 100-160$?
The gas pedal on my t300 rs is not working properly when i push the gas pedal as far as it can go , thecar moves but very slowly and cant go past 4th gear any help would be appreciated
Does anyone know why the buttons seems to activate by themselves? Using the PS4 Pro currently, often get the game paused or the directional pad functions changing settings, sometimes sent back to home screen as if PS button has been pressed, it's very irritating for someone in the middle of a race.
Hello I acquired the steering wheel thrustmaster t300rs there two weeks, however, I find it hard to control the game Driveclub I would like you to give me some tips to better control it because the car is sliding a lot in the game and I can not make a run without be the last one ... thank you in advance
Do any of the wheels sitting in front of you make a plastic cracking noise when in use? My new 599xx evo alcantara wheel does. Thrustmaster says it's normal, I'm calling it BS.
I had the T150. If i buy the T300 Base could i take the wheel from the t150 to the T300 Base
I just bought mine and eagerly awaiting delivery. Manage to get the staff discount at Futureshop in Canada and got it at 400$ Cdn *$50 off. With the money saved i got extended warranty.
I also purchased a set of t500 rs pedals from someone on craigslist and will get myself a TH8A shifter soon from Amazon. *this is quite the upgrade coming from my trusty G25.
Only then will i reach driving heaven :)
Darin you convinced me that The Crew might be worth a pick up on PC ( for triple screen ) looks like it will be nice to take a break from serious racing once in while with that title.
I currently have a t150 want to upgrade but nothing too expensive is there a big difference between t150 and t300?
I wanna buy every wheel in the world
If i get the money
Yeah me too haha xD
Any Insight on the Brushless motor in compared to the T500 motor. Is it worth the switch to get the T300 motor upgrade
Nice review! ;-)
Hi Darin
I just bought the T300RS and F1 Wheel Add On. I really like it thanks for the review. But... I need you help me out here the wheel it is 2.7% off the center what do you suggest how can I fix that. Thanks in advance.
When my tx shipped, the shipping box had t300x written on it. Perhaps this means t300(xbox-one).
can you please tell people about all the problems with this t300rs. mine has went dead in 2 weeks. just keeps slamming to the right and no longer calibrates. seems lot of people are having this problem. I find it hard to believe you guys are not having the same problems with your t300rs's. you guys have lots of viewer's that need this info. if iam wrong with my opinion that you guys haven't spoken about this issue. then I apologize.
Thrustmaster is their Sponsor ;)
hi id like tho know i have this but would i work with a th8a and tspa im just getting into raceing sims please help
Is it worth buying the t500Rs or get the t300 base and get the ps3/4 wheel?
Are those pedals even worse than the one that comes with the G27?
Anybody have an idea why I can't get the driver or anything to download to my computer for this wheel?? I'm a PC noob and not too familiar with how everything works and I tried to get my wheel up and running but everytime I installed the driver my computer has to reset and it said it would automatically install after the reboot but never did so what am I doing wrong and is there somewhere where I can find a good tutorial on how to do this thanks!!
Have you ever had a problem with it rebooting midrace with iracing? I recently purchased one and it randomly acts as if its been unplugged and reboots/uncalibrates itself. Any suggestions?
Im looking into this for dirt rally so i need a clutch so yeah and is there some kinda rally wheel
where is the man pedal?
Thanks. A really good review. I lile it so. Thanks.
Super noob here. I have an Xbox 360 with the Thrustmaster 458 Ferrari VIBRATION cockpit. My question is do force feedback wheels also have vibration? It's really cool to have the whole "cockpit" vibrate when I go over curbs.
yes
So as the wheel is almost 2 years old, is there any information about a newer version or does it still worth to buy it now? :)
Its 2021 and it is still worth for 400 usd
hy guys, does everyone know if it will be a new logitech g27 on the horizon. the g27 is ancient and i was expecting that a new model will come out like 2 years ago
Very nice review, really enjoyed it. I'm new to this and I want to choose my first set, this seems like a good choice but I would like to have clutch and manual too.. any suggestions? Can one merge for example fanatec csr pedals with a thrustmaster steering? Also, what did you mean when you said it has no progressive braking.. do you just mean it has little progressive braking (i doubt it has none at all)?
mitoand9 Thanks and it has very little progression. You can get the Thrustmaster T3PA or T3PA pro pedals to have a clutch. The shifter is a TH8A and that's the best way to go on the PS4. There is an adapter t make Fanatec pedals work but the guy that made them has them on backorder
All right, thx for the tips
I have the thrustmaster t300 ft edition teach me how to connect it please from Jason 😊😊😊😱😱
Do all t300 have the auto calibration problem?
As always EPIC hypersonic review by Darin Ganji.... Oh yeah B-|
What is the "dashboard" you use on the left of your wheel? I'd like to get one, seems to be quite useful !
Also would you say that this wheel (and only the base, not the pedals) really take over the T500RS, that it the difference is so that I may want to upgrade from 500 to 300 ?
Thanks
If you want to upgrade form T500 to T300 you can also just buy the base only and then fit it with your T500 Rim and paddles :)
Great video.
Hi, was wondering. Can the T300 RS base use the TX 458 Italia Rim? Or the TX 458 base use the T300 RS rim?
lonely soldier boy yes they can
Are you the same group as The SimPit? We are having a big discussion on wheels in my League. I have a T500 but am thinking of getting a T300. What is your thoughts in that. I will never give up my T500 pedals. But tye 500 base in comparison to the 300. I know one is brushless and one is not. Also not all the buttons work on T500. Would like to know if I cam just get a T300 rim. Or should I switch out base and all because of brushless. Thanks in advance for your time.
Right now the store price in Benelux of the T300RS is about that same as the T500. I would still pick the T500, since the pedals are much better and the wheel has proven durability.
hey can you guys make a review on the maxrace f1 converter using logitech g27 shifter with t500rs steering wheel and pedals on xbox one and xbox 360 talking about how it preforms with forcefeedback and functions thanks
EXTREMELYBADBOYZBMX I'll look into them sending me one.
Inside Sim Racing thank you very much
I'm quite sure there's no force feedback while using the converter, I know for a fact the G27 on 360 doesn't.
I have the logitech driving force gt right now
is this wheel a lot better ?
All the way, but anyway don't buy it. This model have a design isssues ( T300/TX ). In less of 6 months i've broked two wheels, all comming from cooling problems from the power supply and the ffb motor. If you want something better (but old) go for the T500 if you can.
Is the base unit much of a improvement over the G27? You think its worth upgrading?
magzire Yes much better
Hi Inside Sim Racing, do you know if it is possible to purchase the t300 ps4 wheel alone? I would really like to fit it to a t500.
Hi from Paris, France Inside Sim Racing ;)
I am changing my old Logitech Momo Racing to get a better experience, now that better/nicer games are available on PC (Assetto / Project Cars) ... but eventually, I can play on my PS3/PS4 or Xbox One ... but main usage will be on PC !
I am very new in the Sim Racing community, as I didn't play with a wheel for 5 to 10 years by now.
So, I am reading and watching many many reviews, and I am now hesitating between 2 wheels (and bases ... initially Fanatec was in my radar, but price is too high, and reliability sounds really bad ... especially with that kind of price) :
- T500
- T300
Here in France and now (end-March 2015) they are both very close in terms of price (360€ vs 295€).
T500 :
- Pros : the motor seems stronger / more powerfull : better effects ?
- Pros : 3 Pedals with good physical feeling on brakes (but wihout conical option as in the T3PA Pro ... but 169€ alone !!)
- Pros :Fixed shifters available (even if I don't know for now if better or not than follow-paddles)
- Cons : not brushless motor ? (durability issue ? reliability ?) more noise !
- Cons : is there a switch to change mode for 1080 to 270° as on the T300 ? I don't know :(
T300 :
- Pros : Brushless Motor (durability ?) less noise ! ... precision in the effects ?
- Pros : lighter ... precision in the effects ?
- Pros : GTE Wheel can be "free" / included in the package ... with rotating paddles/shifters
- Pros : mode 1080 & 270° : very good :)
- Cons : no way to have fixed paddles/shifters ... which can be good but I don't know cause I never tried ... I need to compare, I believe ... but the possibility to choose (on the T500) sound a better choice :)
- Cons : Pedals !!! Nothing to add : brake is badly implemented ... no clutch
So, my choices are :
- T500 for 360€ (+ GTE wheel @95€ if I don't like fixed paddles) => 460€
- T300 GTE for 295 + T3PA Pro for 169 => 460€
So finally : my question is : is it a better choice to get the T500 with good pedals + 2 wheels/rims ... or get a T300 and add good pedals for about the same price ?
Or to summerize : is T300 base better than T500 for the same price ?
Thanks for your help !
Gilles MORICE You should come to our forums and ask that same question. You will get a lot of answers from the community there as well. www.isrtv.com/forums/
I think you forgot to add the link of the sticker guy to the description
Just picked one up for £200 on amazon, it's that price for 5 hours from 6:30pm on the 24th of November
+SmokingSpitfire Same here! very excited
And how is it? :)
How would you say it compares to say, the fanatec wheel bases? I have a dfgt at present and would look to upgrade in the future. Is the wheel noisy?
I also noticed that the paddles on the 300 are now on the wheel, unlike the 500 which are on the base. Probably worth noting as that was a problem for many people.
***** but don't the paddles on the base of the 500 still remain? Or are they removable?
Jamie Key They are removable. Personally i like pedals on the base better but each his own. Ow and this wheel isn't noisy. The T500 is though. The T300 not thankfully.
At 4.33min ,what is wheel stand model?
I take up gt steering omega wheel stand or wheelstandpro v2 deluxe for my thrustmaster t300?
It was the GT Omega Evo chassis
Hi I'm looking to get some of them decals where the link please
where do you find the cockpits
I am going to upgrade form my G27 to either T500RS or T300RS+T3PA... Which do you recommend considering that at the given moment i'm going to use it on the PS3 and PS4... later on when i get a better pc build i'm going to use it on that to.
I would really be happy if you gave me an advice :)
Patrick Z I would go with the T300 setup
Hi Darin, would you say that the T300RS is better than the T500? On the PS4 I race on Driveclub, and F1 2015, and on the PC I race on iRacing, Assetto Corsa and ETS2, with the odd bit of Project Cars. Which of the two would you recommend?
Thanks!
+JJM Automotive Photography I would take the T300 as it's a bit quicker to turn and has brushless motors. Love the T500, but the T300 has more current tech in it.
Does the t300 have the same motor as the t500? Because it is a much better deal right now to get the t500.
no the t300 has brushless motors and the t500 has brushed ones
Well damn I never noticr the iracing notepad to change the dampening and weight of the wheel with dampening there is a reason I enjoy thruetmaster wheels due to the dampening lol belt wheels need it imo to give that extra weight feel I still have a hard time gelling with my cswv2.5 lol I def get why thrustmaster guys can't get away from thrustmaster there is a certain feel they have and yes I really enjoy it lol
T300rs or fanatec csr? For ps4? I want to start in the Sim world I want a really good wheel for my money with having to go crazy because I don't have to mush
cocorecord1 t300 is better go with that
Does the Fanatec CSR even work with the PS4? I should go with the T300 :)
It's too bad we can't be playing Project CARS in the next few days since it got pushed back so far. I barely use my TX wheel anymore as Forza 5 is getting boring and I'm not getting Horizon 2 until I can get the T3pa pedals and shifter if they ever come back in stock. I really wish that sleek, premium wheel rim came on the TX and not that chunky plastic one. I'd love to get into PC gaming but my laptop isn't capable enough if I was to get a gaming PC I'd want to go all out but then I might as well go with Fanatec setup, and if I do all that I might as well upgrade my car while I'm at it lol. I had traded in my DFGT in and bought a used and tested TX wheel so I ended up only paying $200 so I'm sure in time used T300 wheels will be around $250 used. Hopefully this wheel has all the hardware issues worked out in it that caused a lot of problems in the TX wheels.
How do you get the control panel
what difference between t300rs and t300gte
the base wheel isn't same?great video thx..
Base the same. Wheels and pedals are different. I`ve got the rs alcantara wheel with fanatec csl elite lc pedals. I love both of them!
@@NewBlackYork thx m8
Which steering wheel is better, the Thrustmaster T300 RS or the Logitech G29?
+jelmer nieuwenhuize I just sold my g29 to get the t300. Deadzone and clunky ffb was pissing me off big time.
Inside Sim Racing Which base is better between the TX and the t300 leaving compatibility away ?
Doesn't really matter although the T300 has more degrees of rotation
Where to get those XP-Designs Pedals?
Where did you get that button box from?
I have the T300rs and had a great time with it but after 5 months its broken calibration is now endless turning from side to side :(
kurt peel okay so i now know its not worth it
Well ist a nice wheel when it works. Its actually my third one now . i ve been givin a new one twice by the shop. Long live guarantee :)
sorry turned off, just kept droning on and on?
so t300rs or g29?
Wait, does that clipping effect hurt the wheel or something? Why is it so bad? I didn't get it, please help!
ok, I couldn't open the link (said I don't have acess to it) but it doesn't matter, your explanation was good enough, I got it.
Thanks mate :)
do we need ps3 or Xbox to play this??? can we simply connect it to PC? and play NFS most wanted?
I believe NSF Most Wanted doesn't have wheel support so you probably can't play that with a force feedback wheel, it's more made for games like Project CARS, F1 2015, Dirt Rally, Forza, Gran Turismo, Assetto Corsa, rFactor, iRacing etc. and this wheel works with PC, PS3 and PS4 :)
Why it cost so much in uk
im jonesing for the crew
hopefully i can afford it
Does the ferrari f1 wheel rim work on t300? Thinking of buying 1 for my t300
Edit: nevermind next time ill watch the video lol
yes you can
are those pedals for PC only or they can work with ps4? I am considering getting a serious kit when project car comes out but idk if I should get the kit or not or if I should just do complete PC for project car and the kit. If someone could help? that would be great!
The pedals that come with it work on the PC, PS4 and PS3
What is a (forgive my spelling of the name) Manatino switch? What does it do?
it's programable in game to do whatever you like. has 3 positions. Real good use in the more in depth games would be fuel consumption qualifying, race, and fuel saving mode. other games like project cars you could set it to change the in game wheel screen modes. I personally find it versatile even though Darin didn't. Really useful especially if you don't have a button box.
Hello, would you be able to offer a comment on how the wheel only compares to the clubsport V2? They both seem to use brushless motors, hall sensors and belt drive. The fanatec with a wheel ends up being 1000 in canada, where as the T300 wheel and crap pedals end up being 450. I'll be running clubsport V2 pedals and the fanatec shifter anyways.
lewisyang91 I just drove a Fanatec CSW V2 last week and it's a cool wheel, but not worth $600 more than the T300. Honestly, if they were priced the same, I would probably still take the T300. I just like the way force feedback is implemented with Thrustmaster overt Fanatec offerings.
Inside Sim Racing Sweet, that makes my decision MUCH easier =)
Was initially pretty surprised that not more people compared the two wheels, as tech-wise they are very similar. There isn't an industry standard to put latency or sheer force on sim wheels so it's harder to judge that way, but even putting on the motor manufacturer would have been nice. Thanks for the fast reply, and keep up the awesome channel!
lewisyang91 Don't believe anything Darin says about Fanatec. He used to work with them and they sacked him, that's why he is lying. They are expensive but they are in another league, only an idiot would take a T300 over a CSW for the same price.
plidex Incorrect ! I left Fanatec after he begged me to stay on longer. I LEFT due to their lack of quality control and testing to insure that the public is getting a product that won't fail. After seeing how things were behind the scenes, I didn't want my name associated with that company. Working for him was the biggest nightmare of my life. If you like equipment that has a high failure rate, go for Fanatec. When they work, it's good gear, but I don't trust any of it for my sim racing. I gave them fair reviews of product after I left. Think what you want Fanatafanboy, but you're very wrong.
Inside Sim Racing lol sure dude, I don't know how there is still people that believe what you say.
and which do you recommend on the best on for playing ps4
Fanatec Clubsport Wheelbase V2 is the best you can get, but out of most people's price range, so the T300 is probably the most practical option because it's very good and not as expensive as the Fanatec hardware :)
