Thrustmaster T598 Direct Axial Drive Discussion Thread

load cell won't be included in the package, it's an addon people will have to buy. So no need to wait

I hope the Load Cell comes with the extended foot plate then, unless that is another addon too 🤔

Quite sure that this will be an addon too. The fact that the pedals is adverstised as "modular" makes me think that every "modules" will be separate. unless you decide to buy upfront the "pro" version of the raceline which will bundle all the "modules". But at release it will be a separate addon.

I don't care about console compatibility, but is it worth taking the T818 Ferrari edition, or the T598 for pure force feedback pleasure? Coming from a T300

Do you have a specific reason for choosing a Thrustmaster wheel base if you’re not bothered about console compatibility? Within the T818 price range, there’s better options like the Moza R9, Simagic Alpha Mini and Asetek La Prima.

Because losing all the rims I have and buying all the other from another ecosystem will make my wallet cry

And when I said that I wasn't bothered about console compatibility, it's because it will be the T300 who will do the job, compatible with PS3/PS4/PS5, it's the perfect wheel for simcade racing. T818 will be for my pc.


And because I love the Ferrari brand, and the SF1000 is the wheel I want to use for F1 simracing.

And because vive thrustmaster, we are a french patriot here we only eat local !!!!!!

Ah, I thought you might have a collection of rims. I’d probably do the same thing if I was in your boat, it would suck to have to give all that up. Enjoy whichever base you end up getting!

Seems a very good review, No rushing the review and doing after weeks of play.

Good review, I've changed my mind think I'm either going to wait to see if anymore software updates come out or buy a fanatec when they have sorted all their problems out. Still happy with my T300 at the mo.

T598 - VELOCE review:

 

[Chaos Racing]

Been reading loads of comments on Youtube from buyers who are massively disappointed in it. Shame i was more or less sold on it.

I've been waiting to get one but everywhere is out of stock in the UK.

I went to Currys last night to get the wife a Chromebook and asked them if they knew when new stock was coming in for this but they still have no information on it 😭

They said end of January (for the new availability on the TM Official Shop).

Was planning on getting this, but glad I went with Fanatec in the end…

Very similar story, I just ended up going the Moza route.
