Racing Game Controls

I've gone my entire life without a proper wheel setup for racing games. As a kid I had a couple of those $30 mad catz steering wheels and never had a proper setup to utilize them. Even if I did the wheels were trash. Fast forward to now and I started thinking about racing setups to get me really into GT Sport. Since I'm limited on space I found a Playseat Challenge. The biggest plus about this is the storage size, along with having a proper seating position, unlike many of the cheaper setups out there that use a chair. Onto the wheel. I opted for this over the logitech due to the fact it's belt driven. No annoying clunks and ratcheting. Sure the logitech wheel looks better, but the thrustmaster wheel is perfect. Paddles are solid, feedback is great, noise level is perfect. I did buy the t3pa-pro pedals due to being able to position them like they are in a normal car, plus the all metal base/pedals are very nice. The first day of driving was a little strange, but quickly adaptable. Just adjusting pedals to my preference and overall seating position were the biggest obstacles at first. I had to learn how to drive with paddles for the first time as well. One thing with a wheel is if you're staying on track it's much easier to pull off consistent laps. In Day 2 on my first attempt I broke my Day 1 fastest lap time by 5 seconds. Day 3 I improved another second. Most of the top times compared to me are still 3 seconds faster, but you can definitely understand where you need to improve if you think about speed through corners, when to brake, feeling the tires at or before their breaking point. I wish I had this for as long as I've ever played any racing game. I do many player other genres on ps4 so GT isn't my primary game like a lot of GT players, but with a little patience you'll be having the most fun in a racing game in no time.

I received the shifter in new condition and within a reasonable time. It works great and makes my video game racing experience more exciting and fun. Great device.

Been racing with it for a couple of weeks, its awsome racing F1 with this wheel. The feeling really gets you in the game. Put it on the T300RS and it is worth every penny. Thanks for this great item

We switched over to this Manfrotto LANC remote for filming hunts and it is an absolute game changer! All the controls are right at your thumb allowing you to engage the camera in any way you like while keeping your movement to a minimum. If you are filming hunts or filming wildlife, this thing is a necessity.

I reviewed several controllers for the game; looking for ease of use and assigning buttons to flight controls. In addition, I didn't want to break the bank. What a surprise! Hotas 4 was automatically accepted by the Sim with almost all buttons assigned, ready to fly! With a tweak after visiting the Thrustmaster site for updates, I was up flying in a few minutes.

Easy to navigate controls and it has raised my photo game with power and a silky soft box

It just doesn't get any easier than this! Leveled up my audio game! Great clean audio, with controls right for my camera. Completely took the guesswork out of if I'm getting my audio on file with my video. Best feature, transmitters record right on the unit as a back up! Safety!

Sim racing hobby or any hobby at some point can be expensive. But if quality and performance is what you after, the Thrustmaster brand is a sure hit! The TH8A add on shifter is no exemption. It's built with quality and performance in mined that fits well in any Sim Racing game both console or PC. It's a H shifter that can also be converted to sequential shifter for drag or rally racing. All tools are included in the box. Manual shifting is the heart of. Sim Racing. Don't have a shifter? Get one or replace that wonky shifter and get the TH8A by Thrustmaster.

Bought a Next Level Racing mat for my sim-racing rig. It was delivered to me within a week and was in perfect condition. Great job.

The perfect rig for me to get into simulator racing.
