*This is   Really strong force feedback. I use it mostly with Assetto Corsa and it adds a lot of realism to the game. You can actually feel the rear end get loose in a corner.*

Congrats! Can't wait to see you drive it.

Congrats Big Dan! Enjoy tearing up the track!

I find it absolutely ludicrous that deliveries of these sort of things are just left outside your house without anybody signing it. Here in Spain, the delivery guy rings, if you're home, you get him your ID number, you sign the delivery, and he gives you your package. If nobody's home, he leaves a note with a number and a direction, takes the package back to the post office and you go there to get it.

Big dan is back in the game!! Literally, you can get back to playing your games. (I know, they aren't games😎 they are sims)

Congrats Dan! I also upgraded from TX to TS-PC a few weeks ago ($350 delivered from B&H Photo!). Actually ordered Fanatec CSE P1 on Black Friday, but was defective. Alignment kept drifting off center worse each lap. Said it was bad optical sensor. But I didn't like the FFB anyway. Big central dead zone with abrupt margins no matter how I adjusted the settings. So, sent back for refund.
Loving the TS-PC with my leather rim. The F1 style rim will take some getting used to for me.
Coming from the TX, the TS-PC delivers familiar FFB but better in every way. Stronger and more fidelity. Notice I'm able to catch the cars breaking out more easily now. Very happy. Great value IMHO. Looking forward to hearing your impressions.

As of this moment. Amazon Prime has this for $349.99.

That's a steal.

I got ts-xw about two and half months ago, and one thing I noticed was the quietness of the fan. I just couldn’t hear it working. BUT NOW it makes more noise than the 3 GPU fans together! ANYONE is having the same problem?

[ronsmith]

Would I be correct to assume that the TS-PC Base is also compatible with the other ThrustMaster wheel/Rims ?

[craigdixon]

Hi Dan
I know it has been awhile since you did this vid but can you tell me what your recommended windows control panel settings would be for these ...Ordered mine
Overall strength
Constant
Period and so on
Guessing most Sims like ACC feedback strength for this wheel I n game would be 70 to 80
Thanks dude for your help

[danielanderson]

Can I use this steering wheel on Xbox one?

[yammmit]

That was a fast delivery! Also, has anyone told you that you look like Brad Paisley? 🤔

[broken]

Dan once you get it dialed in its great do the firmware an installer updates right away

[Mikey]

Hey boss. I own this setup, and I love it. But I have a question.

Can you help me understand why, this exists? With all thrustmasters wheels being PC compatible with thier respective exclusive to PS or Xbox only traits.

Why make a PC only base? Is this better optimized for PC, in regards to hardware not needing cross compatibility. Which results in a better experience on the PC compared to other bases?

Thank you.

[Labertasche]

Why didnt you take the wheel off the TX and make a quick release mount so you can still use it ? :P

[CDubLDD]

Nice. Had you had a chance to take it for a drive? Anxious to hear what you think about the wheel itself. I have the T300 with the GTE wheel and trying to find the GT rim by itself

[MrSilviut]

Hey Dan, I'm considering getting back into gaming after about 6 years off due to school and work. Can you recommend/ point me to a setup (Tower to wheel) for 4K VR on Project CARS 2

[Pezby]

Skip to 11:50 to skip the unboxing. Nobody wants to see that.

[tjb]

Have you had any problems with your pedals? I'm going to purchase some soon unless you have had some problems.

[KingArthur]

Hate to see the TX break, although I still think I’m gonna buy it as my first force feedback wheel. Racing with the cheapest Thrustmaster wheel now, but getting more excited about the hobby. Probably gonna go for the TX leather edition and buy Project cars 2.
