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.

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.

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

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.

Damn, this is disappointing.
I was gonna wait a few months after the release to see how folks were getting on before making a decision myself.
This doesn't sound too encouraging. 😕

Yeah until games are natively supported for me i will still hold out a bit of hope, Apparently AC Evo is showing the wheel as a T500 RS which is a old PS3 wheel so i would imagine the FFB is pretty bad considering its a direct drive wheel showing up as a really old belt drive. Not sure how long it take devs to natively support a new wheel but you would of thought GT7/Evo would be supporting it by now.

I'm confident it's the same FFB signal no matter what wheel base is attached - the idea that developers create different FFB implementations for each type of wheel base sounds very unlikely to me, hence all the FFB configuration options available. "Native support" simply means that buttons and pedals inputs work out-of-the-box.

I just don't know where I stand on this and I only can this because at 1 Point I had a PXN V12 Lite DD Wheel as we know Unlicensed Wheel for PS and Xbox. I also have a T300 for the PS5. Now with that said GT7 saw the PXN as a Logitech G29 or whatever and I can tell you that 100% the T300 Force Feedback Felt better in everyway on GT7. Now there is absolutely No Reason why a Wheel that I have had since my PS4 and is Belt Driven should have a Stronger FFB than a DD Wheel. So it only stands to Reason that they would have Different FFB Profiles because if not and all you do is Code in an Option to select a New Wheel I believe they would have already had that Accomplished? Anyone have any other thoughts on this???

Yeah im pretty sure i read Thrustmaster were heavily in touch with PD/Kunos etc while the wheel was getting produced. Im guessing if it worked great out the box with games they would have no need to do that.
Does today's update show the T598 in game? Any changes/difference in how it feels?
