Thrustmaster T80 for Project Cars 2?

[DanB7290]

Hi all, just wondering if a T80 will be any good for PC2 on PS4? I know from the PS3 days and GT6 I could be much faster with a wheel than the pad. Have seen the T80 does not have force feedback, but I can get one cheap brand new, whereas even a used T300 or G29 is a bit pricey.

Would I be ok with a T80 or should I stop being a cheapskate?

I think in a wheel ffb is the most important thing. It tells you what the car is doing, let’s you know when you can push it more etc.

As a sim racer if I had the choice of a non ffb or a controller (with the rumbles) I would choose the controller.

I think you'll be disappointed with the T80. I have the T300 and it's well worth the extra money, even if the pedals aren't the greatest.

Cheers guys, I saw the T80 was under a hundred quid so was considering it but will spend the extra. Looking at T300 prices they seem a bit out of my range, £250-300 seems to be the going rate. A
Though I do like the biking to swap the wheel, the Ferrari ones look cool but the F1 wheel only appears to be for the T500 which is well over budget!

What about a T150 or a Logitech G29?

do you mean this wheel http://amzn.to/2E0e3z3 if so it goes on the T300.

The thrustmaster eco system of wheels is compatible across t500 and t300.

Search thrustmaster wheel on eBay there's loads of 2nd hand t300's on there, some with stands too. I got mine 2nd hand and no issues at all. There are some reliability issues on the t300 but it seems to be batch related and a good one seems to go forever whereas a bad one will break very quickly. Buying 2nd hand might help take a little of the risk out of this.

Ooh, looks like a second hand T300 could be on the cards then, not that much more than a 150.

I’m down to a choice of 2 then, T300 or Logitech G29?

Is there much difference between the t150 and t300

Oh dear 'Break pedals that feel like the real thing' Doesn't inspire confidence.

Thought I’d give a quick update, Curry’s had a cracking offer on the G29, £200 for wheel pedals and the gear shifter, picked it up this afternoon.

I love it! Having to learn it all again though, the Bentley in PC2 feels a lot more oversteery than with the controller, using the same setup. I also tried Assetto Corsa and GT Sport, did back to back with wheel and controller. Half a second quicker with the wheel when I’d got the hang of it, but I’m sure there’s more to come.

My only problem is having somewhere stable for the wheel. Currently I put 2 cushions on my knee and the wheel on top of them, nowhere to put the shifter so currently it still sits in the box. Can’t believe how bloody expensive a wheel stand is! So right now I’m looking for a sort of tall coffee table to secure the wheel to, eventually I want a playseat but got to get it past the Mrs first, she wasn’t too pleased I turned up home from work with a steering wheel costing the same as my old car!
