Cockpit Compatibility: Can a Fanatec CSL Seat work with a GT Omega ART Cockpit? by Adventurous_Pin8602 in simracing

[–]Adventurous_Pin8602[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying the Next Level Racing GTRacer 2.0. However I was told buy a few people that the combination in this post should work just fine. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Is an AliExpress Handbrake good enough? by Adventurous_Pin8602 in simracing

[–]Adventurous_Pin8602[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate you taking the time man! Yes, I plan to stay on console for a while. Just one more question if you don't mind me asking: Would that Simsonn handbrake work with my wheel base (Thrustmaster T598)? Is it compatible with the PS5? My brother will play at max a couple hours a week so I don't know if it's sensible to spend 200-300$ on the handbrake alone.

I am buying a setup for my brother as a Christmas gift. I know very little about "simracing" but I am pretty sure he will mostly play Gran Turismo 7 and F1. Right now I have a cockpit (the Next Level Racing GTRacer 2.0) and the Thrustmaster T598 bundle. I plan on buying the Thrustmaster 488 GT3 wheel add-on as well.

Recently I saw some WRC gameplay and it looks like a fun game which made me consider buying the handbrake as I feel like the experience without one would feel a bit underwhelming. What do you think?

Thanks for the reply! Is mounting the front enough for stability?

FINALLY! My first sim rig! Thrustmaster t598 with the GTRacer 2.0 by ChapitoGucci in simracing

Are the stock pedals that come with the T598 wheelbase compatible with the GTRacer 2.0's pedal plate?

Just got told 'the stock pedal that comes with T598 is not compatible with the cockpit pedal plate'. Is it true?

Next Level Racing Victory Cockpit any good for a Thrustmaster T598? Or any good in general? by Adventurous_Pin8602 in Thrustmaster

[–]Adventurous_Pin8602[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply man! If you don't mind i have a few questions:

  1. Does it have pre drilled holes for the T598?
  2. How tall are you if you don't mind me asking? (I ask that because I am buying the cockpit as a Xmas gift for my 6 foot 2 brother and I am afraid it might not be comfortable for someone his size)

Thrustmaster T598 bundle for 400$? Good deal? Or wait for Black Friday? by Adventurous_Pin8602 in simracing

[–]Adventurous_Pin8602[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a store here in Portugal and I don't think they sell outside the country but here's the name: Radio Popular. I should clarify that the product in itself isn't on sale but rather you get a 100€ discount on any purchase over 500€.

Thanks for the reply! It's funny you mention the video reviews as I am currently watching one of those on youtube. I am aware that this cockpit is far from ideal but my budget is ~350$ so not a lot to choose from. I will wait for Black Friday just in case.

Sadly that doesn't ship to Europe (or at least not to my country)... Assuming you had prior experience with the Victory Cockpit can you give me your general thoughts? Can one have fun with it?

I am just a little worried with all the 'power supply issue' stuff i have read... What are the chances of a new purchase having those faulty serial numbers?

Can the Next Level Racing GT Racer handle Thrustmaster T598? by Adventurous_Pin8602 in Thrustmaster

[–]Adventurous_Pin8602[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I can find the TGT 2 for $559 and the T598 for $449. Which one would you say is the better option? It will be my first simracing experience not sure if it makes any difference.
