    Guessing for a slow sim like SNOWRUNNER... this would be just fine ?

      Yup, the TH8S would be just fine for snowrunner.

    I would be worried about that cheap plastic mount breaking.

    sure its an inexpensive h pattern shifter, but what else can it be used for? could gear 1 and 2 be used for flaps? and gear 3 and for for landing gear up and down? Gee tom, why don't you find out yourself? anyways, i like the background cars. They look good. thank you for another video. Peace

    That's a definite down step from the old RS. I still have two of them, one is my handbrake for rally. I took the sequential top lengthened the slot and removed the spring. I added an external spring for tension and it really works great. I have it in the analog hand brake mode. It's brilliant. I am so happy with my Fanatec shifter, switching from sequential to H pattern is a breeze. You can adjust the tension on it too. My only complaint is they did not grease it from the factory. Dry it would wear out fairly quickly.

    I've owned the TH8S for five months, and it's true that shifters could only be used on some occasions. Having said that, I've had fun racing online with the H-pattern but still need some practice with auto-blip turned off.

    What I also found it does well at is being a vertical handbrake when you tick analog mode!

    I had it for maybe 3 days, this thing would not stay mounted to a desk or my sim rig. I was so looking forward to it being even decent, however it was not to be. My opinion is it's a piece of junk, even the logitech is way better.

    There is a shifter with a lockout system (I have one) called the Bash Pro by MVH. Very pricey, but I think it's just the tip of the iceberg and we will see this more often, and more affordably, in the future.
