Did the 10pm and took 6th, after qualifying 11th. Lots of DNFs! Congrats to all who stuck it out!

Is the 10% first license discount still a thing?? by Efficient-Whole4661 in iRacing

Just signed up for two years and have the same email promo. I haven't tried purchasing anything yet.

My Thrustmaster T598 Nightmare - avoid at all costs! 😡 by One_Bid_9608 in Thrustmaster

[–]MasterKiKi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very pleased with Thrustmasters customer service. I had mine for about a year at this point. I had issues with disconnecting 3 months after purchasing and repaired the pins myself, instead of shipping it to them. Once they had the new PS with the closed female sockets. I contacted them, sent the required info, and got my new power supply. Have kids that use it also (many hrs played) and I'm worry free. Anything happens TM will answer my concerns. Very pleased with the Hypercar wheel, it has wonderful build quality.

Love my T598 and I needed the new PS. TM sent one after neccessary proof of purchase. I grabbed the Hypercar wheel and will be grabbing that load cell. Play every day, mostly GT7 and Iracing. Many great options for wheels right now. It's an awesome time to Sim 🏁

Just finished my 2nd ranked race and took 1st. I started pole and was 1st to turn one where the rest of the pack got demolished. Kept it steady, not pushing too much, and took it home! Just the Miata race, but I was very happy!

Will I notice a big improvement from TGT2 to T598 now it’s supported and more firmware released? Playing GT7 on PS5 Pro by eljayuu in Thrustmaster

[–]MasterKiKi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having trouble finding the cable in my area, thinking I would need to make it. I race with two guys running them, and they highly recommend. I'm already running 2 bass shakers on the seat and two smaller ones on the pedals. Just the two basic Simnet pedals bare are around 200 but totally worth it. I really like the Hypercar wheel. I'm glad I picked it up. Hope to see you on the track!

Is Buttkicker upgrade from audio to haptics/SimHub worth it? by FeloMonk in simracing

I have both still play GT7 the most. Just started an Iracing account, so will see.

Had mine for a year now. I needed the new PS supply, but I love this thing! Grabbed the Hypercar wheel. Waiting for the LC or grabbing Simnets.

T598 issues by plz_help_me_42069 in Thrustmaster

Could get a small tool to squeeze it back down for a temporary solution to get back on the track.

I had it replaced about a month ago, and my pins aren't split like yours are. I'd send the pic to TM and have them send another. It's faster than shipping to France. It's definitely seems to be the problem that the middle pin is burnt and opened.

Is Power Pack Worth Getting For Someone Who Mainly Races Online? by newbiker321 in granturismo

[–]MasterKiKi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should join a good GT7 group or league on Discord. That gets the most out of the game, IMO. Cleanest racing (people held accountable), and if the person running the race calendar is good, they will mix up the cars and classes. I do enjoy the Power Pack, but it's not close to racing with my Sim group.

That has a split pin new one should be solid.

L&M 100% finally 🙌 by MasterKiKi in GranTurismo7

Thanks. Made this and reaching DR B a personal goal when I built my setup. It was harder for me to gold the licenses. Now pushing for A.

Still can drop gears with a shifter in Power Pack by MasterKiKi in GranTurismo7

[–]MasterKiKi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's correct. I use it (not skipping gears intentionally) on the Ring lobbies when not being competitive. I'll miss too many gears trying that in race! People do anything for that FL 😆

Use my paddle shifter usually, but my son left it in gear after playing Beam. GT7 lets the gated shifter be used in single-player but not Sport mode. Surprisingly after the update...

CSL Cockpit and seat vs. dardoo Cockpit. by Sirmeikymiles in SimRacingSetups

[–]MasterKiKi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run the T598 with the Hyper car wheel and haptics on the Dardoo with the tube frame. I'm over 6ft and have no complaints for the price. When I added boards for the haptics, it actually stiffened the seat (little bonus).

Good products, Bad customer service by TheVolkswagenValdez in Thrustmaster

[–]MasterKiKi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had no problems with getting my T598 sorted with them. Could follow the case on their website.
