No Thrustmaster support?

[Nate]

On the wheel setup guide it covers almost every company except TM. Hopefully my wheel still works well(t300). I need to upgrade it anyways but I guess I'll have to do it sooner than later.

[Zaxxon]

i have the same question: why Thrusmaster is not listed on their website?

[MIA_KLFA]

FOR REAL WHY

[PAWNSTAR]

FANATEC/LOGITECH PRO/SIMCUBE/SIMAGIC/MOZA

NO THRUSTMASTER, VRS, ASETEK, CONSPIT

shrugs Cant see Properties Tab though, Might Have A Generic Direct Drive Profile
that can be Binded to or updates to brands software hubs

Fingers crossed, may the Force Feed back be with you :(

I'm sure it will work regardless just might not have presets for all the different wheels. At launch anyways. But yea def surprised I didn't see the TM 818 or w/e the new DD wheel is. I'm prob going to get a moza r5/r9. We shall see. I really want the r9 bundle for 599. It's been in my cart. Waiting to see if AC evo is worth buying now or just run my TM until better sales. Idk. Decisions decisions. But I'm sure our TM wheels will work, just a bummer they didn't get a spot on the list they released. But looking at those instructions they are all very generic and pretty much the same.

Im guessing bind able but lacking FFB and an update by thrusty or Kunos will fix it
Who knows not long to go anyways...

No need for upgrade of TM818 just a little patience, its not like we are going anywhere in early access. yea im suprised TM818 & T598 Direct Axial didnt make the Cut

if you must go down the moza ecosystem ... try R12 over R9 as its dirt cheap as most of the ecosystem wheels are abit heavy

but dont forget to have a snoop around with Simagic

Fanatec Im still weary of But im sure things are alot better under Corsair

Think Thrusty had no support for F1 24 at launch too if i remember correctly which is sad cause they had that mad Ferrari F1 Steering wheel

I was thinking of going to the r12 but I only have a wheel stand so some of my budget has to go into an actual cockpit setup. So yea if it wasn't for that I would go with r12. If anything I will try and sell my t300 with everything and see how it goes. I think 9nm should be good though esp coming from a t300. I wish I could go test them all out. And yea was looking at simagic too. We shall see.

I saw you can even get a hoverboard motor and turn that into a 15nm wheel for like 150 bucks. Looked interesting but I haven't been able to find any comparisons to what the FFb feels like vs the other DD companies. Looks interesting though.

But I think for AC Evo there will be FFB (prob wont be good) but we will have to map the controls ourselves vs having a template, which isn't a huge biggy.

But you can play with a wired xbox 360 controller !

Perhaps, but I doubt you would save money compared with buying a consumer DD wheel.

I mean 150 bucks is for the motor sounds like quite a lot compared with, say, 500 bucks for a complete finished product with a case, steering wheel, pedals and a table clamp.

There is the 'open sim wheel' project too.

But much of the magic of DD wheels lies in the software side. Think about how much Moza have reportedly improved their ffb feel - that's mostly via software.

It's like electronic hobbyists have glued strain gauges to their bike cranks and created their own power meter and they get some data and it's a fun project and perhaps people who see the price of a strain gauge and the price of a retail crank based power meter think they can do the same and it'll be cheaper - but it rarely is and the devil is in the details and these power meters usually have issues with accuracy.


Obviously if you're into electronics it'd be really fun to do (and without people like this trying stuff we wouldn't have DD wheels in the first place) but it's not likely to be a cheap way of getting a setup for those of us who are primarily interested in playing a game not tweaking drivers and messing with a soldering iron.

I think at least one of the chinese DD wheel effectively took the open source DD wheel stuff as a starter?

[tbaac]

The setup guide covers Logitech, but only for the Pro wheelbase. So, that's one model and probably not even the most popular Logitech model. I think it is just an early version of the setup guide and based on the wheelbases that were used at the shows. I'm not complaining, I've got the 'Pro' wheel base but I shouldn't think that it is anything to worry about if you don't have a model that's listed yet.

Same, T248 here.. AAAAAAAAAA

[Snobhit.®]

Thrustmaster?`dafuq
why would a racing game add support for F***machines??

[BRT Cobra]

It's kunos it will have support just like all the assetto games

[Omence072]

This is part of why I moved away from Thrustmaster. They are not keeping up with the competition. Outdated software, no true DD rims, odd DD base design etc.

Yea I've had this t300 since covid when it was the only wheel I could get, but I haven't even used it for like a year, lol. If AC evo is absolute donkey I think my sim racing days are officially over.

[PAWNSTAR]

lol once you put a buttkicker under your ass , your Sim days will magically get more expensive ...

you just need good games to feed it & theres plenty on PC
AC family is pretty good of supporting pretty much everything, its up to brands to update their own software too it just takes time

Most racing games are like this on launch day ... telemetry data out of the gate is just as vital as steering wheel

not long to go to see what works and what doesnt
cause theres alot of speculation going on with every peripherial even to controller as the Info provided is not too detailed
