Hi!
New to the forum and if this post is irrelevant here please forgive me.
Today Im on PS4 pro and have a playseat evolution with T300 with Tpa3 pedals. Its an ok set up but always nice to upgrade
Im thinking of some choices:
1) T-GT 590 euro (discount price)
2) CSL Elite w loadcell 650 euro
3) T-GT with Clubsport Elite w loadcell 860 euro
4) T-GT with Clubsport v3 1050 euro
I will mostly play GT Sport but sometimes F1 2017 and on a few occations also Dirt Rally.
Is loadcell worth to buy compared to the tpa3 with conical brakemod?
What alternative would you recommend?
Hi, i was struggling with the same exact dilemma. I also play only on ps4-pro. Although I’m waiting for the first in-depth reviews of the T-GT, because I’m curious about the T-DFB feature, I’m probably going to go Fanatec. I’ll give you my current opinion. But I think either choice will be good.
1) The T-GT looks nice but the rim is about same size as my current G29 (28 cm) and since I want to upgrade the CSL comes with a larger rim (30 cm). I like the extra buttons and dials of the t-GT , but not sure they’ll be supported on Project cars 2, F1 2016/2017 or just GT sport exclusively. Also the t-dfb might just be gimmick. And the t3pa are not much of an upgrade to my G29 pedals.
2) probably going to go this route, primarily because I like the ecosystem of Fanatec better. More choices to upgrade down the road. Great shifter, handbrake, pedals and I definitely like the formula rim Black much more then thrustmaster F1 rim. I als read a slightly cheaper line of CSL line of shifter and/or handbrake might be coming out.
3) you need to have a converter, Which will cost you some extra money. But you might compensate that by selling the t3pgt pedals. You can get the nice 599 rim, F1 rim and shifter or you might already have them? Then I would go this route. There is no compatible handbrake though if you like rally. I only need 1 round rim (30cm) though and want 1 formula style rim. The club sport h shifter is far superior in build and can be adjusted to sequential much easier. The Ferrari F1 rim is too toylike and I much prefer the simple design of the fanatec rim (see where I’m going there)
4) with the csl starter pack with LC upgrade the pedals would essentially cost about € 160. I like the simpler modular design of the CSL a lot more then the csp v3. But with the csl elite it’s a lot easier to upgrade to v3 down the road, without having to get an adapter. Even upgrading to a direct drive (if supported on ps4), would just be buying the servobase without a rim.
In an ideal world I would get the T-GT slap on the fanatec formula rim and shifter and csl pedals without modding. I read some posts about the drivehub. Not sure if you can use it to use a T-GT with fanatec shifter and pedals?
It seems to me you’re not necessarily worried about the cost, but just want the best money can buy at the moment on console. And both the wheels are the best for ps4. If your invested in thrustmaster ecosystem (rims, shifter etc.) I would recommend 1 and 3. There are some issues with compatibility with pcars2 with both wheels.
Personally,as you might have concluded, I’m going to go Fanatec because of the nice looking formula rim. Im gonna use it a lot and is going to block my view a lot less. BUT it’s backordered til 29-12-2017 and I don’t like the look of the carbon version. I would only change my mind if thrustmaster announced it would sell the ts-pc racer rim separately.
