Eventually went Thrustmaster unfortunately this over to produce only cheap stuff and most Simracer switched to Logitech: Driving Force Pro, and Driving Force GT last the "noble" G25 and G27. I had erstdas Momo Force, then the Driving Force Pro almost 9 years and I always knew that I would eventually move to the G27.
After an extensive computer-Aufrüstaktion and the purchase of Assetto Corsa (THE Refeenz simulation currently!) So I have looked at the market closely - and lo and behold sure the G27 is a good steering wheel and provides with clutch and H-shifter a whole lot, but the technology is now available from pre-yesterday. It still relies on Zahräder and wear out relatively quickly nunmal. Thrustmaster has taken advantage of the opportunity and introduces the T500 now constitute the reference in the steering wheel market, at least if you take a left out can still significantly more expensive Fanatec & Co. stories. However, the T500 was me with well over 400, - too expensive and quite honestly, a clutch is nice, but not really compels. And suddenly run my little position including Thrustmaster T300 and TX on the road. First of all: I had both and I'm still on the differences.
Both have in common: there come brushless industrial engines for use and held gears are employed to significantly finer and still more durable belt drives. Technically 2nd generation earlier! The best part is definitely the Wheelbase: heavy, well-made and incredibly good and very subtle force feedback effects. While the Logitech comes a loud, rather undifferentiated clatter, it really is simulated here very finely, you realize directly if you lose traction. Really really great! Small point of criticism: in both a fan is used, which was quite noisy, at least in my test-TX. Since I usually go but with headphones, is the m. E. negligible. For completeness: the wheelbase is secured in both cases by a large plastic double clip on the rig, table etc.. Keeps bombproof, really a very good support. Alternatively or as a supplement, you can also make with M6 screws a permanent bolting.
Among the differences: the TX is compatible with the Xbox, the T300 for Playstation. On the PC, both running and that's what counts for me. The steering wheels are different - the TX comes a 7: 10-Replikalenkrad the Ferrari 458 Italia used, which provides a great grip and super is in the hands, but unfortunately feels pretty cheap and looks even cheaper. Very unfortunate. At T300, the GTE-wheel of the Ferrari 458 Challenge comes from racing for use, as well as a replica in the 7: 10-scale. Of course, here no leather or alcantara can be expected on the steering wheel, but of course rubber. Despite the steering wheel feels much quality - the "inside" also comes real metal used. Speaking of Metal: both are the paddles for shifting not only incredibly well and fed into the operation, but also made of metal. Great sport, better you go m. E. not!
Probably the biggest drawback of all sets are the pedals. No, they are not bad, not at all. But in particular, the brake does not provide progression, which is standard on the more expensive sets. Honestly? I can handle, have many, many years driven by significantly lower sets and find both pedals more than okay. The brake is also significantly "stiffer" and has more resistance. I like it ;-)
Both the integration applies to the Thrustmaster ecosystem: you can integrate Shifter, use the large Thrsutmaster pedal set, other steering wheels with quick release mount and so on. Good thing, Thrustmaster!
Those who do not necessarily emphasizes clutch or H-shifter and under 300, - wants to spend, for the may decide only be: Thrustmaster! My rig is in any case arrived at the next level ... :-)
