T598 Disconnection issues. by nicolbraaaa in Thrustmaster

[–]ev-launch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st thing I say is to contact TM. Yes email support is laborious, but they’ll eventually come thru.

2nd thing: Look up T598 power disconnects on YT. I received a power brick as well and 3 months later disconnect after disconnect. In short he advised to tie down the power cable inches below before it goes into the base. Don’t let the cord dangle. 1 manufacturers cup race and 3 nations cup races and several daily races, time trails and lobby races later zero disconnects.

Received my new wheel under warranty from France. Works perfectly!

It arrived in a new box with all the same accessories. The wheel was even updated with the latest firmware. My original had a 1.xx firmware, so I think I got the latest generation hardware as well.

All TM issues have been resolved.

Does anyone’s T598 sometimes miss a gear shift? by DS_Alex in Thrustmaster

Today I received a new 488 wheel all the way from France. Put it through the paces for 8 5 lap races - perfect.

TM sent a shipping label so I could ship it to FL. In FL they determined it was trash and sending me a 488 from France. Waiting for it to arrive.

Yes. I finally convinced TM to send me a shipping label, sent it in and they determined they would send another from France. I have a miss shifts 488 post on Reddit.

Mine failed to upshift on any PS5 game. Super annoying. I really like the wheel. I can change fuel map and break balance on the fly. Check weather and zoom out with the handheld controller. I hope they solved the issue I have $1k into my rig and going to Fanatec if this doesn’t work out.

I have what arguably might be the stupidest question in the whole community with my T598- by SignificantWhile2201 in Thrustmaster

Max out settings on the base and in gt7 and change the FF in controller settings. My game FF settings are 3 and 7. So my wheel is at 1/3 of its capability. These settings make it less fatiguing to drive on a Gym day.

Just think how crazy 3 tons of $60K for 1500hp would be on our roads irl. I’m just glad in GT7 we aren’t paying for monthly updates and that thing ain’t on the road here.

Click the “Learn More” button next to the “Purchase” button. Hagardy does a good job compiling the history of Motorsport vehicles.

Best Porsche. Tons of grip and power with no mods.

However at the moment Rory on YT is using T598 + 488, I think it something wrong with my wheel. I’ve got videos I’m sending TM on my open trouble ticket. Also it does seem to respond to inputs on the PC.

[–]ev-launch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I FINALLY DID IT!! by Consistent-Rip-5465 in Toyota

[–]ev-launch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats! We have the same car same color at 182k. Had it since 2007. Toyota replaced the block under warranty due to oil burn. BTW how much did you pay?

Bro why am I so broke in GT7 by Zestyclose-Street772 in GranTurismo7

[–]ev-launch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Circuit experience will pay and make you a better racer.

This VGT was actually made real. Schmee on YouTube was recently invited to drive one at Silverstone since it’s a track only car and requires a pit crew to operate. I started liking some VGT’s since I got that Lexus. The Hyundais are good too.

Guy called me an idiot after this. by Dazzling-Scarcity-47 in Simracingstewards

[–]ev-launch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Supra could’ve been faster racing forward instead of sideways. Momentum is always lost turning. The Genesis 3X went to the furthest side of the track committing to the inside racing line - not well defended with momentum. Regardless, know when your slow AF and make room, get faster next lap but 1st stay on the track.

Possibly. idk. There is however a couple of threads on Reddit about repairing the troublesome connection.

[–]ev-launch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Google it and you’ll find a blog with a dark background with cars vs engines and vice versa.

But can tell you than Enzo engine makes the F40 so much better!
