My Final Take on the T-598 vs. T-GT II and Did Thrustmaster Ask me Take Down my Last Video?
My Final Take on the T-598 vs. T-GT II and Did Thrustmaster Ask me Take Down my Last Video? - In this video I am discussing the Thrustmaster T598 and the T-GT II and if you should upgrade to the Direct Drive T598. I will be discussing the improvements I found in the T598 after the firmware update and will also talk about my interactions with Thrustmaster and how I review products that are sent to me for free.

Stop Taking GT7 (PSVR2) and Sim Racing so Seriously!
is it normal to feel when turning at high speeds like the belt is sliping on the wheel? Its My first wheel so i dont knowing that detail of the tires slipping on the road or the wheel is defective
That would be the loss of grip you are feeling. When you have grip, you will feel resistance in the wheel. Once that resistance is gone, you are losing grip. The T-GT II makes that feeling of grip vs. lose off grip very distinctive.
@ it feels ratcheting loss of ffb or notchy .. so thats the lose of tire traction
Yes, and as soon as you retain grip, you will feel it tighten up. Once you understand the feeling of what your tires are doing, you will have better control of your car and finding the limit.
@ oh ok perfect , i thought the wheel was broken or defective..
Have you used openkneeboard app with Iracing for mixed reality? Interested to know if you seen Openkneeboard used in DCS.
Oled tv is the missing puzzle piece 🧩
Thank you! I was waiting for this comparison!
@3:35 that sounds like it’s clipping
The final opinion of the final opinion. Dude what's going on here ? From the perspective of one of your viewers this seems a little fishy. Delete videos. Re do videos. Having the need to keep explaining yourself. Someone who is certain doesn't behave like this. It makes you look unreliable
No, it makes me look truthful. I honestly don't have a solid grasp on the T598. One day, I think it feels good, and then the next day, I'm like, what is going on with this thing. I am kinda torn on the wheel. I will tell you what I'm not torn on. The T-GT II has been solid from day one, and I never questioned the positive experience I have had with it. Also, please explain what you mean by fishy, and don't tell me you think Thrustmaster is messaging me and telling me to pull videos down, LOL. I have 4K subscribers. If they paid that much attention to me, I'd be the biggest small channel out there. As for unreliable. I can be like big channels, tell you how good the wheel is, never actually use it after an initial review, and never try it again after updates. If you look at that as reliable, your right. I'm not your guy for that.
I dislike using the Quest 3 for simracing. The compression causes occasional stutters in both audio and visuals. I've tried using it with a cable and even invested in a Wi-Fi 6E 6GHz router to test it with Virtual Desktop. While the visuals are clear, there are still occasional stutters. On top of that, the poor black levels are very noticeable when racing at night, which is quite annoying. That said, it's a great product for everything else. I've now ordered the PSVR2 with the adapter, as it was on sale for 380.-. I hope it performs better.
What was the gpu you were useing?
3080
Do you have the ferrari 488 challenger wheel ? Do the lights work for gt7?
I don't have that wheel.
@@thecasualracinggamerhey i need your help , i just got this wheel from your reviews one question . is it normal to feel when turning at high speeds like the belt is sliping on the wheel? Its My first wheel so i dont knowing that detail of the tires slipping on the road or the wheel is defective
This wheelbase has a big diameter at only 5 nm. Why do we assume they can follow up with a higher torque version that isn't any wider? I also hear that they tend to get hot.
It's a good point, but why would they jump to new tech that has no room to grow from here and already maxed out? That would be one strange move if they didn't plan to grow on this tech. I hope upping the power doesn't mean upping the size because they have to realize the size and design is probably one the most hated things about the wheel.
hi, based on your videos, I bought the TGT2 a week ago, and I have a question coming from the t500rs My T500rs fan was not always on, not sure if it is normal, but the TGT2 fan is constantly on is that normal or is something wrong with my TGT2? should I be sending it back? basically, it comes on after a few minutes in-game and stays on thanks in advance
Yes, it's normal for the fan to stay on when using the wheel.
@@thecasualracinggamer Thank you for the quick reply I was not sure as my t500 takes a bit of time come on that's all thanks again.
My TGT II packed up after 2.5 years. Just re orderdered another one. Im deep in the TM eco-system and play GT7 & all of the PC sims. Thanks for your honesty. If I can get another 2.5 years out of it Im good. Then Ill look at a more high end DD.
Still on TG2 here…
🙏
You deleted the video about different wheel with t598??
Check my community post. That sums up really everything I wanted to say.
Been playing ACC and AM2 on Pcvr for years. GT7 is AMAZING! Dont sell yourself short- you need to play Resident Evil 4 in VR. Holy shit!
I have just started to watch your latest video on how the evo r wheel erased the t598 feeling of the wheel and just when you started to explain it said the video is not available. Why did you take it down or have you figured out the problem with different wheels on the t598? I have just bought the ferrari 488 gt3 wheel and I must say it is by far the best wheel on my t-gt ii and I have like 15 different wheels, including custom mods to fit fanatec and momo wheels. It really makes the t-gt ii feel like a far more refined and sturdy quality package with zero creaking with the ferrari 488 gt3 wheel. I really recommend you try it out and see for yourself. Cheers from Slovenia, EU
Lol Same here, where's the video?
I'm going to post something now on my community tab.
I bought a t gt 2 and I have a question if your fan is also so loud ? it starts almost immediately. I play without headphones on my home theater, so it's quite annoying
I don't find it overly loud.
Pier pressure from TM?
Yup, you got me. They have me on speed dial every time I put out a video.
The new one looks really cheaply made. Terrible wheel and pedals and a house sized base. Worse DD ever imo
I have a deal for a rig for 575euro for the playseat trophy and the tgt2. Value wise its obv a good deal looking at new prices. But im not that much of a gt7 player. Does the tgt2 work ok with wrc/assetto/forza esp on pc?
Yes, T-GT II works on PC. I've used it for AC. Haven't played the other games though.
luv the T818
Have my t598 set up a few days ago. Perfectly happy with it and I think most average drivers and even "semi pro-s" would be happy to drive this. When more updates come it will only improve.
Been using my t gt2 and reverted back to my t300 and it actually felt refreshing and smooth without all the extra immersion from my tgt2 . Could zone in on pure driving control. Its a hard call on this subject as it is subjective, seating position pedals all play their part. Thanks for your great videos really does help.👌🏽 Quick question what degree of rotation do you use on your tgt2 , I'm using 180 with open wheel. 😮
Interesting take. Not sure I have seen people go in that direction. The transducer should actual help with feeling things better but it is something you can turn off if you didn't like it. I just let the game handle the rotation degree. I don't change it.
What are your in game setting max torque and force feedback sensitivity just curious
Torque was either at 5 or 6 and sensitivity at 1.
@ i was running 10 and it still felt too soft but I’m starting to think I was over heating it I turned it down and it seemed to help a little. Thanks for the reply
I think sometimes people over complicate things. 95 % of peolle are not chasing that final 1 % improvement ...for me. Thrustmaster for all the compatability and add ons is your best choice for the semi serious casual. But they are all excellent
If u know how to update the firmware with a Mac, please share. I will always wish I could experience the transducer though. That alone seems like such a game changer!
I'm not sure if it's available to update on a Mac.
Good vid I concur
Good comparison. Having driven with T-GT since 2018 I know exactly what you are talking about. For reference - what settings do you use with T-GT2? Just that I know to what strenght you are comparing the t598 to. I use FFB strenght ar 6-7 in race cars. Anything more just strains my hands and wrists unnecessarily over time. Also a statement to the power of T-GT - the force there is no joke. And i kind of feel the belt drive actually makes the ffb feel more "real". We are after all talking about forces that RUBBER tires have, so belt makes them just natural.
I've actually been lowering my T-GT II from around a 6-7 to a 4-5. Once you get to 7, I feel like you are starting to fight the wheel turning. The T-GT II just offers a different resistance feeling than the T598 that just feels stronger when you have grip and had an extreme opposite feeling when you lose it. It's more extreme than the T-GT II, but after the update, the T598 is well improved in its feeling.
@thecasualracinggamer so T598 is weaker than T-GT2 at 4-5..😬 Seems I have to keep waiting for a new base. Its been quite a wait already.
It will also depend on the wheel. I can push the EVO 32R to 6-7 and it feels good. The open wheel feels better at a lower number.
If you had to buy one tomorrow which would you go for?
With the way the T598 feels after the update, I think people will really like it, and it's a great buy for the price. I think most casual racers will be completely satisfied. If you were looking to spend more money and had nothing, I might look at the Fanatec 8nm DD, which will be priced close to the T-GT II. If Thrustmaster offered an upgrade kit for the T598 to make it 8nm for, let's say, another 100-150 dollars, it would have made this wheel an absolute buy for anyone.
They shouldn't have released the damn thing. I remember people switching from TGT2 to fanatec dd 5nm, the difference was night and day. Yes DD is a must over belt drives, smoother, you feel more detail etc... I'm going to switch from Thrusmaster to Logitec gpro or fanatec.
Why should they not have released it?
I enjoy your videos and I appreciate your honesty- very cool. Thank you
Thank you
Great review Really good i have the tswx for pc but dam I have ps5 also with gt7 I wnat to get something for gt7 I think to just get the gt2 base I think 🤔 that is best option as much as I wnat a direct drive and one day I go for the t818 😊
