- Thrustmaster T-GT II Review - Is it the Best Wheel for GT7 or Should you Go Direct Drive? I am unboxing and reviewing the Thrustmaster TGT 2 with the Open Wheel Add On. We'll test out the force feedback on the wheel, the cool feature where it is supposed to vibrate your wheel, pedals and paddle shifters. We'll also go through the other Direct Drive wheels offered by other manufacturers which might be a better option for you then the TGT 2. We'll talk pricing, features and try to help you decide what sim racing wheel is right for you!

so excited for you man. you're channel is really taking off. congrats.
Thank you. 🤜🤛
Great video man. I love watching your videos. Your enthusiasm makes me happy. Lol and makes me feel enthusiastic as well. Keep up the good work.
Thanks. It's really something I strive to do in my videos so your comment means a lot. Always trying to spread happy, positive vibes.
Thank you matel, i just decided and ordered T-GT II, as i m B rated cassual racer with no desire to stretch my budget, this video was very helpfull. Thanks again and I wish you many succesfull races.
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it.
The TGT 2 is the best belt wheel period. This wheel got me through some great times and it is a premium piece of gear. Very nice that you are enjoying it, treat her nice and she'll be good to you! Great vid and congrats on your purchase!
Thanks. Yeah, it feels really solid and like a good piece of equipment even if not DD.
still have it and its insane i even tried a direct drive but tgt2 for me is insane how good and precise it is im waiting for the thrustmaster direct drive for console dont wanna give up my tlcms
I also still enjoying the time with the T GT. Works great with Automobilista 2 and GT7!
T GT team unite 💫
GT DD PRO from Fanatec was just 1000 time better for only 100 more €
@@Jean.QLeLesarbresi tested the same, and you re a bit over the Top with your 1000 Times right ? Thats absolutely not true at all. The differences are there, would be horrific if not, but they are not that big tbh. Dunno how u test or if you overreacting a bit but well....
I have the gt dd pro, but I also have the tgt2, and I love both. Tgt2 works beautifully for gt7.
which one u would put as best? from what i hear dd is just on another level than belt tech
Here's how a transducer works:
It's a loudspeaker with no membrane/diaphragm. It's JUST the voice coil situated inside of the magnet. That voice coil would normally move the speaker diaphragm/membrane (the part of the speaker you see moving when playing sounds through it). When there's no diaphragm/membrane attached it will not generate much sound because it can't displace air, instead the vibrations from the voice coil is transmitted into whatever the transducer is connected to. In this case the wheelbase, and the wheelbase itself will pass those vibrations on into the rig your wheel is strapped to.
They run at very low frequencies and are really effective at emulating vibrations. It's kinda like a subwoofer only it makes no sounds, just vibrations.
It's the same tech as a Buttkicker and it does the same job.
If you have neighbours below you, you need to make sure those vibrations don't go into the floor, because it is HORRIBLY noisy. Like someone just dropped a sack of vibrators on the floor.
Thanks for that and the funny analogy at the end. 🤣
Can you turn that function off or down ?
Not in GT7 to my knowledge but with other games and in PC mode it's not even supported, so it's automatically off. Maybe if you play GT7 in the Other/pc mode it's switched off.
Your enthusiasm and energy is just something else. Your channel will explode very soon, so don't chance when you become a big youtuber. Immediately subbed 😎
Thank you.
Great video bro! When you get a rig you need to look at getting bass tranducers for all four corners of it! Connect from pc to ps5 through simhub, its a big learning curve as all setups are different but i enjoyed the challenge. Totally game changer, GT7 is simply unbeatable. Looking forward to adding this wheelbase to my setup in a few days, which will add transducer number 5 😂! Thanks again for the review.
Woooow you done it man Congratulations 😂❤
I had issues with T 248 and I get better offer in T GT II
It's awesome!
Thumbs up mate, all the best for the channel 👍
Thank you
Your enthusiasm is vibrating ha ha ....Great video glad you're enjoying the new wheelbase and the new wheel rim ,
Thanks a lot 🙏
same story as me, had t300 that was overheating and t-lcm pedals. Bought t-gt ii servo base + open wheel add on because I have seperate stand without chair so I was worrying that DD might be too strong. So far I'm very happy of that setup. PSVR2 with GT7 and that is waaaay much better with transducer
Nice!
Good job brother. Great vid!! PS5+T GT2,4-life!!!
🙏
I'm loving my TGT II. Its really awesome!
It doesn’t vibrate through the Playseat Challenge, but when I got my Playseat Trophy, it really does ❤
Why?
@@julio2205
Probably because of the stiffness in the rig so vibrations traveling better
I have the T-GT 1 wjch is exactly the same as the T-GT 2 lt is by far the best belt driven wheel base thrustmaster has put out to date, like your channel keep up the good work mate cheers 👍🙂🚗
Thanks!
It’s like a haptic feedback feeling from the tgt2 it feels great. In the menu I put the transmission sounds all the way up and between my buttkicker 2 and tgt2 , shifting gears gives a nice kick every time. Love it.
Yes, the kick feels great from the T-GT 2!
Can you use a butkicker on a ps5 on gt7?
@@famrue527 I do, I have it out put like a normal sub, I had to find a sound bar with a sub out port, get a splitter for it and it works pretty good. In gt7 u can emphasize the engine and transmission sounds in settings which helps further.
@@steveybiggunzgaming8118 i have a logitec g5500 5.1 surroud system but i dont know that will do the trick 🤷🏻♂️
And when kicks the buttkicker? Is always slightly vibrating and kicks harder when you go over a curb or am i imagining it wrong?
@@famrue527 I have the Logitech z903 I think, 5 speakers and a sub. Problem is everything plugs into the sub, and no sub out port. I tried several different ways to rig the buttkicker too it but nothing practical imo, I bought the katana sound blaster x sound bar, only because of the sub out port. It’s a nice sound bar with decent sub and it’s not expensive. Basically anything that will kick ur sub will kick the kicker. Yes hits when going over curbs. Another option u can do if u don’t want to lose ur sound system, get the katana like I have, get a sound splitter, I use optical splitter so I can connect 2 sound systems into one optical port, this way u can have sound going out to both of them. I did this for awhile and just kept the volume lower on the sound bar, and turned up the buttkicker amp a bit to compensate, so I could keep my 5.1 system going. There may be another way to set it up without a sub out port but I could not find a practical way to do so, especially cuz I’m on console and not pc so there’s no dedicated software for it. It’s neat tho, in shooters like cod every bullet or grenade kicks, or fighting games, basically makes every game more immersive. I’m on the buttkicker gamer 2 mounted under next level racing gt track, but u can mount under a gaming chair too.
The vibration in the G923 is really cool, I noticed it right away and if I switched to another wheel which doesn't have it, I'd totally miss it. But on the other hand, that wheel is very noisy and the force feedback isn't really strong. The noise is not a big problem if you play with closed-back headphones as I do, which isolate me very well from the noise of the wheel. Anyway, as I have said many times, if you are on a tight budget, any entry level wheel with pedals will be a huge step forward if you are coming from a controller. I'm a casual racing budget gamer, so I'll do with sub $300 wheels for many years, and I'm happy with that. I'm happy I spent my money on a "PSVR2 + budget wheel", instead of going "flat screen + better wheel".
I used a T150 for years up until now and would recommend that wheel to anyone 10x over who is just starting out on a budget or just wants to go to a wheel from a controller. I am all about the budget minded racers and realize not everyone can afford to spend $500 and up on a wheel or might not even want to.
As for noise, yeah the gear driven wheels are noisy but most likely you have some sort of headphones on or a VR headset with speakers so you actually never hear it. It's more about the people around you that it will bother. 😂
I had exactly the same problem and also did the same, good vid
How you liking the T-GT II?
really love the video, keep up the good work. i have one tip though. maybe try to keep it short and not talk too long about one thing of the base like the vibration you mentioned that like 3 times. but overall good video :)
Thanks but the vibration of the base is so good it deserved to be mentioned at least 3x! 😁
To me its more important if the reaction is genuine or not. I like if people share their enthusiasm and their first reaction.
I had no idea the TGT had the haptic feedback rumble thingy. After having it on my G923 I just can't do without it anymore. So this might be a great upgrade to put on my radar.
Yeah, it's pretty amazing and I think I'm already spoiled by it. Unfortunately it only works with GT7 so if that game is your jam, you'll be good. I wish it was supported by other games too.
@@thecasualracinggamer Have you tried ACC? The TrueForce on mine works even better in that game. Maybe it works for you as well if you haven’t tried!
@@zososound Trueforce is a proprietary Logitech thing, if the game supports that it won't translate to the thing inside the T-GT2. The T-GT1 and 2 have a transducer, not a rumbler like the Logitech.
As far as I've understood, the transducer of those two wheels will never be usable on PC, it's a Sony developed doohickey. It's why the T-GT 1 and 2 are more expensive than the PC version of the same base (TS-PC) for that reason.
I think that's why the PS5 version of the T818 isn't out yet either, it's likely going to cost more than the PC version for similar reasons.
The Fanatec PS5 wheels are also more expensive than the Xbox/PC variant. Sony probably charges Thrustmaster and Fanatec for access to the PS5 ecosystem. I know this has been the case for fight sticks in earlier times. It kinda sucks tbh.. Being penalized money-wise for choosing PS5 just doesn't feel great.
Like the dualsense of the sim racing wheels. More wheels should pack a transducer(and more games should use it)
got rid of my DD pro because of very bad oscillation and impossible to drift (instantly spins car out) .. so if i get this T-GT II , i wont have those issues right ?
New sub here, love your videos! I'm wondering if you had to update the firmware or software out of the box on your T-GT II before using it? Keep up the great work!
Nope, it already had the latest firmware installed when I got mine.
Congratulations. I can confirm with the og TGT when it's hooked up to a racing rig it vibrates through the whole rig and it's amazing.
I think it's called an immersion speaker. I love it because it tells you when the tires are going past their limit. No other wheel does this for GT7
The only con is the immersion speaker only works in GT Sport and GT7. You notice the difference immediately when you try other racing games on any platform with the same wheel base. Like something is missing. I believe this tech was developed with the polyphony\thrustmaster partnership.
Oh man. Am I going to need to by a Playseat Challenge now! Yeah, it stinks the feature only works with GT7 but luckily the game is good enough to enjoy for a while and maybe GT8 will support it too one day. The TGT 2 feels like a real solid base with some great force feedback. Really smooth and just feels like quality even if it's only belt drive.
@@thecasualracinggamer Yeh great wheel base choice brother. I have friends with CSL elite setups who miss the T-GT immersion speaker after upgrading to something supposedly 'better'.
Definitely start looking at a racing chair. The correct seating position is pretty important for racing, and much better for your back.
@@thecasualracinggamerDon't buy the challenge. To many flex to use tlcm pedals. I have the throphy. Just bought simagic alpha mini with Assetek forte pedals. My T300 with tlcm back mounted to my next level R wheelstand. If the T300 dies. Maybe buy a tgtII base for Gt7 as simagic is only pc.
I did the same upgrade from a t150 to a T-GT 2 with the 599xx Alcantara wheel.
Only issue I have is that on the PS5 I have to use the dual sense controller 1st to start the game then connect the wheel, otherwise the game won't recognize it if I start the PS5 with only the T-GT, it will work in the PS5 menus but not in a game besides the ps button. Do you have the same issue?
No, that is strange. And you have the wheel on the GT setting? I only use the wheel to log on to the PS5. Have you had the wheel a long time? Are you using the latest drivers if you have a PC to check and update if not?
@@thecasualracinggamer Its been like this since I got it and its set to the GT setting and updated to the latest firmware too.
EDIT: I solved the issue, was my 599 wheel, there was a button that was shorting out, and PS5 games will reject the wheel if there is a short, I opened up the wheel button box and sprayed with contact cleaner, seems to have sorted it out.
I run sensitivity on 10 ffb on 4. It really does vibrate right through the frame of the rig really well. I know all the talk of DD but this is still the tour wheel for GT7 so great choice buddy 👍
I advise turn your sensitivity down to 5. It won't change the fbb but it will give you faster lap times. This is the correct 1:1 steering ratio. 👍
Seems like I need to raise up my sensitivity a bit. I would like to feel the smaller things more. So would higher levels bring that out more. Not sure why everywhere I read it says people are using it on 1 and 2.
@@thecasualracinggamer I adjusted mine up when trying to learn to drift and ffb down ( which I still not had chance to master) which is what some of the top drifters were recommending and it felt ok and left it and just moved ffb back up to 4. Description of sensitivity is attached below but a lot of people have it down 🤷🏼♂️ we are all different so play around till it feels right to you > Force Feedback Sensitivity in GT7
The Force Feedback Sensitivity setting dictates the exact point at which your steering wheel provides force feedback to you. Once again, in simple words, this means that you get to determine at what point you receive information about contact with the track surface to your hands.
@Clacky78 So does a higher sensitivity mean it gives you things quicker but at the risk of clipping at higher bumps and such? I've read things on it and still scratch my head what the heck it means. 🤣
@@thecasualracinggamer The top split guys use minimal ffb and funky sensitivity to game the game. But if you're like me, realism and immersion is what floats my boat so I go with the most realistic sensitivity and ffb. I think it's sensible as you're driving such a wide variety of cars.
This videos exactly what I need right now! I have T300 with sf1000 wheel but absolutely hate that it loses FFB so quickly! Can you follow up with how long it takes for this base to lose FFB if it does at all? Thanks!
In the short time I had it, no issues. I think the longest I have gone so far with it was an hour straight maybe and all good. I believe they built this base correctly with the correct cooling and ventilation.
To get into tlcm mode hold downshift button and your mode button for 2 seconds Let It Go if the light flashes 10 times your in the correct mode
What exactly is the Tlcm mode?
@@stefanschuchardt5734 the servo has to recognize the load cell pedals or they don't work correctly and cut out
Hi mate, you still using the TGT2? I just ordered mine. Thnaks for all the videos. Im just getting strted in sim so dont know what to expected. I was gona go Fanatec but all the bankruptcy and black friday shamble, new bosses, i dont think they know what they are doing ATM. just turned me off completely. I thought i really dont need a DD as my first wheel.
Hey! Yeah, I am still using the T-GT II. I think you will enjoy it.
I got so lucky picked up my TGT 2 base with TS300 wheel and LCM peddles for $550 AU second hand. At that price i could not walk away. Otherwise i was going to get the DD Pro bundle that’s around 1700. But this set up works well I would love to test them side by side see home much better the DD pro is.
Yeah, I would love to test side by side as well and see as a casual racer if it actually would make a difference in the drive or if you really need to be a certain skill level to effectively notice the difference.
I have the Logitech G pro. The direct drive is fantastic. Zero slop in the wheel or pedals. I do think that the newton meter race is dumb. I have my wheel turned down to maybe 40%. When it’s cranked up it’s literally hard to turn.
I am confused at some of those high Nm numbers. Are real race cars really that hard to turn that the wheel is trying to emulate?
The main benefit of higher torque wheel is the slew rate. Higher NM wheel will accelerate faster.
This means the wheel is quicker to response and feels more nimble under your hands.
Also there is a difference between constant and peak power.
looks like a great setup - going to be lots of fun !
one other thing to consider **for some** is price of manual shifter. the thrustmaster is 180 euros vs Logitech is 40 euros!
for me (in Spain) T300/TGT including pedals + shifter was awkwardly placed price wise... quite big jump up from G923, and too close to the DD alternatives. so, this tipped the balance, for me, to the G923, go 'cheap', so its less 'lost' if/when I go to the Fanatec DD Pro.
I should say, the Thrustmaster shifter is miles better than the Logitech one... so it's worth it, only problematic, if you think later you might want to upgrade to Fanatec offering.
Good points. I personally don't use a separate manual shifter but for those that do, definitely something to consider.
@@thecasualracinggamer how are you finding the wheel in VR?
the one thing I dont like about the G923 is, with the headset on, its pretty difficult finding all the controls.. e.g. MFD up/down.
(I think I might try mapping them differently, to see if that helps)
I think your thrustmaster looks much cleaner... perhaps easier to 'feel' where they should be.
@@TheTechnobear So I haven't used this one yet in VR but it's a similar setup to the T300 Ferrari wheel button layout which I did use in VR. Took a little getting used too but then just got the hang of where everything was. Just takes some time to retrain your brain to the new layout. The actual wheel feels great though!
New to sim racing. Gonna get a setup thanks to PSVR 2 and Gran Turismo 7. I have my eye on Logitech pro racing wheel with direct drive and true force. The set has pro load pedals. Would this be overkill for my first time? I don't really want to have to upgrade, I want something great right off the bat
Great choice and I don't think it's overkill as long as you got the money for it. You will get years of great times with it and won't need to be looking at an upgrade anytime soon.
Did you have a cockpit recommendation? I can't find any confirmations, but I kinda want one that also allows thruster and stick for flight Sims too
I have a T-GT (first gen.) it was faulty recently I fixed it, but decided to try the Fanatec DD Pro base package (5nm). After testi g the Fanatec for a week with 10 different setups, I was quite disappointed. I play exclusively GT7 and for me, the T-GT is more fun to drive. I know i
DD Pro is more precise, but still the difference is not day and night. Sent Fanatec back and asked for refund.
Good info. Thanks for sharing!
thats why im staying on tgt2 its insanely good waiting for thrustmaster direct drive tlcm are my favourite and yes i tried fanatec V3 and direct drive but thrustmaster is just my favourite.
Fanatec isnt available in my country. Only Thrustmaster and Logitech. The Logitech G Pro still isn't for sale here yet. Should I just get the T-GT II or wait for the G Pro to arrive in my country?
I like the T-GT II, but the Logitech would be the better wheel but at a higher cost, of course.
My Logitech G Pro arrived on Friday, unfortunately it has a faulty fan, so I am returning it and expecting a refund. On Monday, I bought... TGT-2 + Alcantara Steering Wheel + TLCM and I don't regret my choice. Very good wheel. ❤ Once you try Direct Drive, you'll realize how overhyped it is. 😮
I'm excited for you. But honestly I own a logi pro and tried tgt 2 a good amount of times. It's not even a competition 😂 top quality dd wheels are on another level. Ofcourse basic dd like moza r5 and fanatec dd pro are not worth the upgrade over a tgt2
@@Greatgoku4 I don't want to be misunderstood. The G Pro is a great piece of equipment, but the question is whether such an upgrade makes sense. All weekend I was thinking about whether to go back to TGT-2, which I had before but sold, or wait for the Logitech replacement. I made the decision to go back to TGT-2. This steering wheel meets all my requirements. It's a sweet spot between cost and what I get in return. However, I emphasize that the G Pro is generally a better steering wheel, TRUEFORCE gives significantly better effects than the Transducer from TGT-2. But there are certainly even better equipment out there. But why bother? For me, it was a difference of $1200 because I would have to have a rig. And so, the old faithful wheel stand pro will still hold the TGT-2. It all depends on the needs and level of advancement of a particular person. For me, the biggest game changer was the PSVR2.❤
@@northshore7123 Also, load cell pedals from Logitech are supposedly not near as good as tclm's..
ive been considering this or the logitech direct drive one but the issue is the other logitech stuff the pedals and gear stick just dont look as nice as the thrustmaster add ons, hoping thrustmaster have a go at direct drive for console so might wait
The TGT II is really nice and I wish I had a DD wheel to compare it to. Maybe one day. 🙂 The Logitech with TRUEFORCE is probably amazing.
@@thecasualracinggamer I did see an interview with one of the heads of thrustmaster saying they were working on a direct drive wheel for console but hasent been much news on it since then from what I can find
That already exists, it's called thrustmaster t818, but it needs updates (software) because it performs worse than any other DD. Currently the best compatible DDs on PC/game consoles are the fanatec DD pro and the logiech pro.
@@thor_pedothor8 The T818 does not support console.
Are you still rocking with the Tgt 2? I just purchased the tgt2 to replace my T300 RS. Also do think that you are going to get something different anytime soon?
Yup, still using it and currently have no plans for something else.
@@thecasualracinggamer Any issues? Like overheating issues?
@aspectic6227 No overheating issues at all. Just an annoying fan noise that developed over time but has no effect on the actual wheel itself.
@@thecasualracinggamer ooooo. Thinking of buying the servo base and using my T300 wheel rim to save money
I asked you about the wheel on your other video I've got a couple of questions
1. is this a good wheel for F1 and other games as well as GT7
2. what are your gloves as i need a pair for when I get my Wheel
thanks your advice is very useful
The wheel will work good in all games that support wheels. The Transducer that will vibrate your wheel, pedals and seat if hooked up to a cockpit will only work in GT7 though. The gloves were just some inexpensive sim racing gloves I order from Amazon. You can probably find better ones then these but for me, they work.
@@thecasualracinggamer thanks what are them gloves called only want a cheap pair that I know do the job
@@JDNM_NJames1863 Solo Queen Sim-Racing Gloves
With all the current logistics and customer service/support issues facing Fanatec right now, my only choice is Thrustmaster or Logitech for GT7. And so I went with T-GT II and never been happier with the choice I made. Then I bought a Thrustmaster Formula Wheel Add-On Ferrari SF1000 Edition, then a TH8S (TH8A is kinda expensive to me for a H-pattern shifter), then a Rally Wheel Add-On Sparco R383 Mod (which I'm currently waiting for it to arrive).
If I'm gonna be playing racing games on PC, I'd rather buy MOZA as their products are so tempting right now.
Moza products definitely look good for PC racing. Would be great of they officially supported consoles too.
I love my T-GT II and it's a great wheel for GT7 with the transducer. Only complaint I have is the sound my fan now makes, but it hasn't actually effected the performance of it. Just an annoying noise.
I actually prefer the T3PA pedal set. Its more arcady feeling and my Playseat Alcantara sim racing chair cant handle the weight/pressure of the load cell pedals.
I think load cell pedals definitely offer an advantage of more precise breaking but like anything, people can master whatever they end up using.
@@thecasualracinggamer The TM load cell seemed really hard to brake even with the lightest tension springs. My Camaro SS IRL actually feels more like T3PA brakes (modded a bit with tension balls) than the load cell. But everyone is different.
I feel like this would be an issue since I live in an Apartment building 😂 Those vibrations seem cool though.
LOL. Someone else mentioned that about the vibrations in another comment. Not even something I would have thought about.
😂A carpet or rubber mat under the cockpit and solved
Great wheel if it's comparable to TS-PC but DD is better (reacts faster and more detailed)
I have this exact wheel and play mostly GT7, the bass shaker only works with GT7 and GT sport, so when I play other games the rumble isn't there. In that respect I wouldn't want to trade it to the fanatec. The TGT 2 is quite powerful by itself (imho) but I'd miss the extra rumble the transducer brings. It's really quite something I underestimated quite heavily myself. It's really something you should experience to really get your head around.
TS-PC is just a T-GT2 without the haptics and a different shell.
And worse thermals, the T GT has a build in fan in the motor and better ventilation.
In your situation I think the setup you chose was a no-brainer, so well done.
I have the 8nm Fanatec DD Pro with loadcell. You are spot on - the LC would be my choice to upgrade first, but I bought the bundle.
I'm very happy with my Fanatec, but I would have waited for the Logitech DD if I'd known it was about to be released. Apparently the Trueforce is a game changer.
Its a game changer for those not wanting to add the complexity of transducers with simhub. Now that GT7 has simhub support having all those sensations come from the correct place (through your seat) will be far better than having them come through the wheel which isnt always natural feeling. Using a buttkicker off the audio sucked but with SimHub its a night and day differnce. Im still finessing the settings but it realyy adds so much to the experience. The detail you can get is incredible. But somthimg like this and trueforce does it all for you, albeit with limited titles but for primarily playing gt7, i definitely see the appeal.
Im not knocking trueforce at all, as for most it would offer more immersion with far less complications but for you already having the dd pro, you could get all the effects your missing with trueforce plus so much more by adding even a single buttkicker or a dayton/aura shaker by running it through simhub.
I just upgraded to the podium f1 with v3 pedals from t300/tlcm in Nov when it was bundled for 1499. From what i have seen, the ffb is definetly superior to the Fanatec's even without trueforce on but its really really close when set up properly. All the major Direct Drive wheels are so close in performane once calibrated ❤that the ecosystem, ease of use, and compatibility will be the major driving factor in which to choose. Will Ford on boosted media has great videos on the differences and naunces of each.
People like me sometimes tend to forget that not everybody cares about acheiving the highest possible level of realism and feeling all the appropriate forces at the right time. Getting the information needed to drive the car and have fun is most important. Its all subjective for sure. Also not everybody is willing to shell out the money for a high end set up. I just got into this hobby in 2020, have always been obsessed with cars and racing just didnt know simracing was really a thing or as accessible as it is to have a sim at home, but i have since gone balls to the wall with it and i have no regrets. Only regret is not discovering it sooner.
My bad for writing a novel here lol.
I think you got yourself a sweet setup Steve!
@@calebwright2849 All good. Love the comments and the knowledge you guys bring to the table. Me, I'm just a Casual Racer in awe with how deep you guys go. I'm just like give me a wheel and pedals that feel good and let's go racing and hopefully not finish last. 🤣🤣🤣
@@calebwright2849 SimHub is supported by GT7?! how?? Please excuse my ignorance but I thought SimHub was a PC software? This is the only thing stopping me from adding transducers to my cockpit on top of the TrueForce of my G923.
Be sure to unplug your T GT2 after use from the wall or it will destroy your bored
Yup. It has a sticker on the base that says to do this. Guess bad things can happen if left plugged in!
i personally use the vibration at 125 and all my rigs vibrate(gttrack)
How do you set the vibration level?

As a car guy I love how you Sim guys talk about monetary investment. Meanwhile real car guys: Catback exhaust $1,200.00, no problems wait ... just $800 for the Titanium exhaust tips *high school girl screams*
Most of us sim guys are real car guys too, we are just smart enough to understand sim racing is an affordable way to drive on the edge every single day. Gate keepers are trash btw
You can get direct drive fanatec kit for not much more money. Not sure who would buy this.
I have both, the TGT 2 feels smoother and more immersive with the transducer for GT7. You will also need to buy the metal rings for the fanatec wheels otherwise they will disengage from the motor, it happened many times with my DD pro
I think I touched on these points in my video. Also, for GT7 the transducer in the T-GT II really adds to the package.
the steering wheel looks sexier and more brutal if you remove those stupid colored stickers=)
I'm always racing in VR. I never see the wheel anyway. 😄
@@thecasualracinggamer Me too, but because of the heat, I can't afford more than an hour)
the video is 27 mins and bruh just spent 30 mins talking about having pedals before buying the base and wheel...
Bruh, that's crazy.
Why spend a fortune unless the game is perfect. Gt7 is good but far from perfect. Happy enough with my cheap Logitech.
I'm not seeing your angle here. No racing game is perfect so no one should ever buy a good quality wheel? Also, what's considered a fortune is going to vary from person to person. Your cheap Logitech wheel might be considered a fortune to another.
I thought the same but then bought the TGT2 and was blown away, it’s only only better for GT7 but all other racing games and sims I have tried..
