Respect on the setup! Love the race track portrait too.

Thanks for a great video. I have the original TGT base. When you mentioned fatigue that resonates with me. Especially doing rally games, it's a long race, arms get tired. I'm in my senior years

TGT2 for life here! I love to feel the road and having a blast in GT7 VR.
Also technically 598 is a downgrade if you look at cost and strength of wheel.
They are hoping the Direct Drive jargon will sell it because people were begging for a direct drive wheel.

Interesting video, I use the TGT II and have been checking out the T598. I find a high sensitivity but lower FFB on the TGT II works great. FFB down to around 4 and sens at 10, then with a really heavy down force car maybe FFB 3. Still plenty of weight but you get the finer details still.

its a shame that they have released the t598 with only 5nm, this wheel has so much potential

[awakeandwatching]

such a shame you cant adjust fov in cockpit cam on gt7.. youed have 1-1 scale on that scree.. if you have AC1 on pc have you done any LFM? you have to install a couple mods and the cars and tracks the series you wanna race in is using but so far its been the best ranked racing experience ive had.. the ferrari 296gt3 series has been great fun.. getting in to lmu which runs great in vr but ffb isnt as good as AC1

I've had the T598 about a month. Coming from a G923 . Its an amazing wheel. Really need the pedal upgrade like yesterday or at least stiffer springs or polymer inserts. Thats my only gripe about it.

On PC, you can set damping to 0 (or 1 for me) to get rid of that 'rubber banding effect'

I have TGT2 and am loving GT7 in VR. Thrustmaster is supposed to sell TGT2 Servo base alone soon. I might be tempted to try it then. Wouldn't it be nice if Thrustmaster sold base for $299? Probably will be $349. I have NLR 2.0 wheel stand and would be concerned about the mounting of the T598 and the tall height. But then it seems like the better wheel is dependent on personal preference, like you say in your video.

Yo my G after that you never answered the ?. Is the TGT worth extra $$.. ?

[siarung]

Questions I starting to playing race car on ps5 . I had a gt29 wheel controller, now trying to upgrade for under $500. Which wheel steering for ps5 that's you recommend 👌 🤔 😉 😀 👍 😄 👌 🤔 😉 thanks

Recently came back to GT after 25 year or so.

Completed 1 and 2 back then with a full house of gold medals. GT1 is epic, GT2 got softer to give the newbs a chance.

I digress...

GT7 plays like shit on a PS4 with generic controllers so I'm looking for a wheel.

I'm still not sure though my fellow racer. The TGT or the 598? It seems like the 598 is the power steering version versus the raw feel of the TGT.

Which one is quieter?

Subbed👍

[adikeno]

I'm planning to buy the GT3 wheel, are all the buttons functions for GT7? And do i need to update anything on my t300?

Tgt2 owner 10/10 is craaazy… 5/10 is sweet spot
