Thrustmaster

I was originally going to go with the Logitech wheel because it really is designed for Gran Turismo 5, plus you can port it over to the PC as well.

But the more I look at it, the more I am going for the Thrustmaster, and I'm going to actually buy the top-of-the-line one where not only can you get all the gears and the gizmos inside that gives you real feel to the road, but you can also pop out different steering wheels and add stuff to it like a brake bar and gear shifter and shit like that.

Yeah.

Can I just say that by the end of this episode, I might convince you to not go with that Thrustmaster.

I might convince you to go above and you're going to spend a bit more money, but you will have of way better experience i promise way better

experience

Carbon fiber, microfiber leather, which is, of course, synthetic leather, but We don't know exactly the price of these, but it's going to be less than $400, which is pretty nice for what all you get.

And the Airbus, I mean, you know, Thrustmaster is licensed from them for ages.

Now they're getting into that.

They have more things coming up.

They're getting a little bit more into the flight sim.

Whether or not that's a growth industry, I have no idea.

Thrustmaster has got some new flight stuff coming out.

More HOTAS type things.

Uh...

Thrustmaster is...

Kinda, sorta, maybe upstreamed in certain...

Like, this is what I'm saying, right? Like, Racing Wheel Support is kind of in this...

Fantastic, but you shouldn't have to go and play on a PC to use your wheel on, like, a game that you primarily play on console, which you originally bought it for.

There's no point in buying a PlayStation-focused Logitech wheel, Moza wheel, Fanatec wheel, a Thrustmaster if you're really hurting in the brain cell department-

[laughs]

... and think, "Oh, okay.

We're also going to discuss our theories for that update as well, 'cause not everything's quite revealed yet.

There is a brand-new Thrustmaster wheel, or is there? Well, yeah, but kind of.

Assetto Corsa Evo and Rally, that's becoming our new AMS2 ref- or Nockhill reference, because we mention it every podcast, but there is some new news and teasers for that.

Uh, we've got our new returning feature, which I can't say the full name of 'cause it's too long right now.

So, October has increased collector level cap and the car viewer, an experience mode, a car concierge, and a vintage, we, we don't know what that means yet, section for buying cars.

I think more significant changes are in December.

And with that, we're going to talk now about a related topic of the Thrustmaster T-GT 3 which is another new official Gran Turismo licensed wheel, ish.

New? Yes.

Yeah, Type R is dope.

What do you guys think of Thrustmaster now being a partner again?

Good.

I think competition helps.

Because now you've got Fanatec,

Moza, and Thrustmaster.

Do you see the wheelbase, though? Oh, shit.

It looks like crap.
