Thrustmaster BOOST

[Turboba14]

anyone with a ts-pc tried this new booster thing??.. i found it to lose a lot of the fine detail.. if someone else has had time to mess about with it though and found a decent feel i’d like to hear from you, as for now i’ve switched it off lol

[goblueteam]

have never heard of it myself lol i wonder if this works on thrustmaster tmx>? is this like a new power supply or app/software?

I have seen it in the thrustmaster software but have not actually tried it yet on my ts-pc racer, i will give it a go tomorrow.

Found it in the Trustmaster config panel (as not explained by Turboba14 ...)
Seems to increase the FFB but only useful if you already use 100% FFB and find it too weak ... (so nobody I think ...)

i appeared in my drivers at some point..looks like they added it sometimes in the last weeks/months

It is in one of the latest versions and since I switched this week from a T300 to a TS-PC, I drove both with and without.

It did more on the T300......some games got a bit more of a "center feel" but it also added some center spring effect, making small detail seem lost.
In precisely this game; it didn't do any good.

For the TS-PC: about the same......changes were less but it didn't do any good for this game.
It's more for an arcade feeling game like F1 2021: you do feel better low changes; its pretty weird.
But I left it off on both wheels.
That's my feeling: I am by no means an expert!

Now I'm here, is it okay to ask a related question?
It seems silly to open a complete new topic for this.
The latest update for the wheel on the T300 made the led green instead of red, right?
Should it be green for the TS-PC too? Because I updated, but it stays red.

Led should stay red on TS-PC.

i tried the boost function on my T300, i couldn't find any way to make it worthwhile. Thrustmaster recommended 100% on all sliders in the driver software and to reduce gain in game until the ffb wasnt clipping. i reduced mine in increments of 5% every time the clipping was so bad that the wheel overheated within 2 or 3 laps, 35% gain was where that stopped and by that time there was no detail in the ffb at all. i assume the stronger motors in the TS and TGT bases can handle the extra torque, in my experience with the T300 its completely useless, you either reduce to a point theres no torque and no detail, or you have way too much and will probably burn the motor out in months. i turned it off put all sliders as they were before the update and put game settings back to normal and was back to normal.
Ps, i also tried reducing the sliders for incremental and spring in the same way as this is what the boost is affecting, but unfortunately the same result.
Time to get a simmagic alpha mini i think.
