Hard to make a choice of hardware when the ffb in GT7 isn’t the best at the moment.
Only drive GT7 on PS5 :/

Was planning to buy a GT Pro 8nm bundle, people said it was missing ffb on straights.

Waited for this T598, people are complaining that it lacks strength and they feel no ffb.

Starting to look at the Logitech Pro which is way out of my initial budget, nearly convinced myself to take the plunge.
Then i read that much of the True Force was removed…

Started looking at the GT Extreme, read that FullForce isn’t implemented.

I now have doubled my initial budget and even then it feels impossible to make a decision based on peoples comments. A year from now i will probably still be sitting with my old G29.

It is a total minefield. Reviews are all over the place. I was sold on the T598 but implementation on PS5 not being as good as PC is a major downer. I agree Logitech is looking best but with pedals so expensive although im only just hearing True Force has been removed Why would they do that? Just checked out the GT Extreme - Wow looks and sounds awesome but £1299 without pedals. Wife would divorce me.

Figuring out what to upgrade from the T300 without breaking the bank goes on.

A used t-gt is a good upgrade from t300. Doesnt brake the bank and works great in GT while you wait for the PS DD -market to settle . Doesnt even matter if you buy T-GT or T-GT 2 - no noticeable difference I've been told.

I'm interested in the T598, but only if the end up selling it as a base alone, I've already got load-cell pedals and enough rims that can be adapted.

What does TrueForce even do? If you had a blind driving test, could you even tell if it was on or not? It seems like massive marketing mumbo jumbo.

GEAR JOLT is functional with the THRUSTMASTER SDK (like the SCREEN TELEMETRY) and must be implemented by each Game Developers to works.

SimHub provides the best way to tailor any sort of gear change effects.... no need for some pretuned and unchangeable canned effect. And this way you can have it felt in your butt kicker.
