Nope

In a desperate attempt to improve my performance on Gran Turismo I am contemplating buying a T598 and a Playseat Trophy.

I have never owned any sim racing equipment before. I was wondering, with the T598 wheelbase being as tall as it is and the Playseat Trophy wheel plate not being height adjustable, if this would create a (minor) visibility problem? I am relatively tall tho at 192 cm. So I guess I am asking whether anyone here has this equipment combination and how that is working out for you?

I started in on my wheel journey in GT7 3 months ago with the t128 (was £99.99 and I was wiped out due to xmas), recently I've found it very lacking, the pedals are horrible and the feedback was minimal. So I've decided to get the t598, I'm excited but I have a question or two.

I'll be going from a t128 to DD, what sort of adjustment period should I expect?

Will it come with the latest firmwave already?

Should I expect ultimate laptime improvements once I'm used to the wheel? I know consistency will be vastly improved, but seeing as I've only used the t128 I have no idea what sort of time improvements will come with a DD wheel.
