I’m pretty sure they will refine the shape for their next direct drive base…but yep, too tall and ugly for me!

Apologies for late reply - have you tried testing different levels of shadows in the graphics settings?

@OldManPlaysDrivingSims only tried highest and lowest setting.

Nice combo! I love the TGT2, forces are excellent 👍🏻🏁

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you - if only I did it on laps 1 and 2! 😂 More practice needed 👍🏻🏁

AI 120 your going to hurt yourself ..I've had a lot of bad luck with my pc during first mini season since recovering from hospital last week's race heart rate up to 110 bpm first race this season without pc problems, I still blew it though speeding on pit exit don't know if you watched it, it was close...😉...ps try the 2024 stock cars there supposed to be using new 1.6 tyre module..

@@andrewcrawford2093 That's a bummer re your PC Andrew, any idea what the issue is? I'll give that 2024 stock car a go!

I seriously considered the T818 for my PC setup, if I could fine a good second hand one, I would probably pull the trigger...I had hoped the price may drop a little for the 818, now that the 598 is out.

It is an Amazon Warehouse returned product, so not used much at all - the TGT2's are heavily engineered, pretty bullet proof wheel bases.

It certainly works well…Funny how other manufacturers have not tried it.

Not haptics in the pedals - the TGT2 has a transducer built in, which sends a rumble through the steering column to the wheel…on my rig, that rumble reaches my pedals…not massively, but I can feel it 👍🏻🏁

With the TGT2 You can feel track effects and gear changes as the transducer is designed to work with the TLCM pedals. Kind of cool but no advantage. It’d be a nice upgrade for you. You can buy the servo by its self 👍 It sends subtle vibrations through my rig as well so in VR it’s a pretty submersive experience

@ Yep, bought the base stand alone, very happy with it!

At the moment, I really think it is! - the T598 May overtake it if GT7 is updated to natively support the wheel and base, and firmware updates improve the ff of the T598…but for the time being, you can’t go wrong with a TGT2 👍🏻🏁

I’ll check it out…I certainly love my Ferrari SF1000

@ oh. If you have the SF1000 , then dont look at it 🤣. I just would put 500$ (canadien) on the SF1000. I mean the 488 is almost half the price and 31 cm.

It is, however an upgraded belt drive system from previous TM units…it is very smooth and gives fantastic weight and ff 👍🏻🏁

@OldManPlaysDrivingSims coming from a t300 I want to get away from my gogging as they call it or clipping

@@chrisdettanascar9264 I've never noticed it with the TGT2

6nm compared to 3nm for starters, new brushless motor technology…and more - it’s a massive step up from my T300 base.

Welcome to the club! - you have just purchased an excellent base…load cell pedals next?

@@OldManPlaysDrivingSims when ive made friends with the wheel...........probably

I will be very interesting hear your T598 thoughts, I do think once some sims support it properly via patches, and Thrustmaster release new firmware, it will improve over time…I may pick up the base alone, if all the above is proved to be true.

Apart from a slightly bashed box, the thing looks brand new! - always worth keeping a wee eye on Amazon Warehouse for returns 👍🏻🏁

Thanks! - I am absolutely loving it so far…the T300 will be going on eBay at the weekend 😂

@@OldManPlaysDrivingSims How old are you? I will be 70 next year

@ 62…a mere whippersnapper! 😂

Great recommendation - I will have a look. Thanks!

Yep, TLCM's will be fitted on my PS5 rig very soon...not impressed with T595 pedals or wheel 🙄

Couldn’t disagree more as I just switched from the g29 to the T598. The pedals are nicer than I thought and the base is amazing. The weak point seems to be the wheel quality. Thrustmaster has other wheels available so no biggie imo

@ T598 will be a massive leap from a G29 for sure…not so much a T300, and from the reviews, in its current firmware/level of native support, a step down from a TGT2…the pedals will be better than your G29 pedals, but no match for TLCM’s.

@ totally agree on the pedals. Already ordered the TCLM set. I have driven other wheels just didn’t own them. I was about to purchase the TGT2 just before this released. I would of been happy with either one. The price was just better.

It sure is…only spent an hour or so on it, however very impressed so far 👍🏻🏁

Yep, I’ll get Direct Drive eventually…just not tempted by T598 😕

@@OldManPlaysDrivingSims just behause of Looks ?

@@gameplays1993 No, not at all - the looks were the first thing that struck me (and not in a good way), however I race a lot in VR on both PC and PS5, so the looks alone are not a deal breaker alone - the combination of small pedals/no load cell, and some lukewarm reviews re native software (sims) support, particularly GT7, and so-so force feedback, made my mind up - I have no doubt things will improve, this is early days for this wheel base, and software updates/firmware updates will no doubt improve things over the next six months. I will keep an eye on it, and once the wheel base becomes available to buy separately in the UK, I may well buy one...but for now, the TGT2 will suffice.

System specs?

Surely!

It was a great battle you were having up front!

@@OldManPlaysDrivingSims I loved it. What a race, what a track and all wet. Thanks

Hmmm...I knew there were a few under 50's in, but had not realised it was a formal change. No disrespect to anyone, but it has changed the dynamic I have to say...a big point of why I joined was the age thing.

My pleasure!

Thanks Lucas, a few points gained from the first race of the season 👍🏻🏁

@@OldManPlaysDrivingSims Long season again. But some great races to come. A wet Hockenheim up next.

Thanks Jim, AMS2 is such a great sim - glad you enjoyed the video, and do ask if you have any AMS2 questions 👍🏻🏁

It sure is, a real labour of love. Original AC is going to be around for a long time, despise AC2 incoming 👍🏻🏁

I’ve just bought it! (not had time to fire it up yet)

AMS2 or Ride 5?

Cheers mate, really appreciate the positive feedback - I just could not catch David! Hope to see you on track.

I know - very odd.

Here you go Kev, come join us discord.gg/vev3pF2b

You would be most welcome 👍🏻⬆️

They are!

Yep, I’m pretty impressed - I have Ride 4 on PC, got that in a Steam sale as well, and I’ve never even installed it! 😳

Thank you! - much appreciated 👍🏻🏁

It’s a joy, isn’t it 👍🏻🏁

Try starting off with short gaming sessions...15 to 20 minutes at a time, then build it up gradually..30 min, 40 mins, 50 mins etc,...train you brain :-)

Cheers mate - I thought something was odd in the race, right from the start.

Glad you enjoyed it mate, it was a bit confusing with the network sync issues, but I had a good time.

No problem!
