I don't think it will ever go to £99 again. Glad it did as that's when I got mine.
For anyone buying one I recommend the GT Omega wheel stand

Interesting info but the poster miximix or whatever they call themselves is the only one with a time machine but they won't let anyone have a shot of it so unfortunately we can't go back and get these deals.

Never mind, just worked out how you did it, shame i would have to buy two. :confused:

After going through 4 faulty T500s/300s (one of which caught on fire, which I'm glad I was in the house) I gave up on Thrustmaster and bought one of these for £99 at the start of the year and I'm glad I did. It's still running strong from daily iRacing use and it's 95% as good...
The Pedals are way better than the standard Thrustmaster ones which have no clutch, I even liked them more than the T500's. You have to buy this add on Pedals for as much as this costs, which I did and I still think these ones feel better.
The FFB isn't quite as powerful as the T500, but I always had that wheel on like 30-40 any ways, there comes a point when the power just isn't realistic and it starts clipping so you feel no bumps etc. It's about on par with the T300, but it doesn't have the smoothness of the T300, it's a bit rougher feeling like the T500, only a bit more rougher than that.
However I was scared it would be all grind and clattery due to the gears. It's blown way out in reviews, it still feels really smooth and it's relatively quiet, I mean the fan on the T500 and 300 were so loud any ways. It does feel smooth, but it's just a little bit rougher... it's not worth spending way more on the T500/300 for.
The only down side I see to it is the look of the wheel, it's really ugly lol, but it does at least feel nicer in hand than some of the Thrustmaster wheels which, the TX was made from Plastic and neither the T300 and T500 are leather (or faux leather, whatever the G29 is), they're using this rubber material.
I rate it over the Thrustmasters, it's almost as good wheel wise, pedal wise it's way better and the Shifter doesn't cost a lot either, though I like using the Paddles. It has the reliability which is important for me, the amount of Thrustmasters I got through just put me off them for life. The only other alternative is a like £1000 Fanatec setup.

Just bought a tx leather edition, it's very powerful like you say and I'm hoping i don't get any of these problems (spent £400 on wheel and shifter) :confused: can recommend a gt omega stand to people as no silly pole in between my legs and folds away in the cupboard nicely

I have owned the T300 since it was released, my brother owns the g29. The G29 is a good wheel for the price, but I have to disagree that the G29 is anywhere near as good as the T300. Yes the standard pedals are rubbish with the t300, but the T3PA addon pedals for the t300 are far better than the standard pedals with the G29, and the wheels are not comparable, the T300 is simply a different class, it is far more realistic and extremely smooth, wheras the G29 is clunky and the feedback is not realistic. I have compared both wheels for lap times on a few games, every game I got a better time out of the T300, the biggest difference being f1 2016 where I could not get close with the G29, I was consistently between half a second to 1 second faster with the T300 which is a huge difference on f1. If you're a casual player then I would highly recommend the G29 for the price, considering you will pay twice as much for the T300 with the T3pa pedals, but if you are serious about your racing games, the T300 is by far the better wheel and is certainly worth the extra!

Voted hot, but I was just wanting the wheel and pedals ... not sure I would need the shifter when the wheel has flappy paddles. Hopefully the Wheel and Pedals comes down a bit too.

Got one a few weeks ago.. Bit disappointed with the amount of vibration.. Wheel feels heavy but not much vibration when off track.
Does anyone else have this issue or is this just how it is??

I bought the pack (pedals, wheel, shifter) at Currys when it was £129 just before Christmas.
I've been using it on PC and it's really good. Make sure you install the Logitech gaming software.

Missed out on the 129 deal and was getting worried it wouldn't go down at all for a while, for the sake of £20 I'm gonna be jumping on this one
Still an awesome deal! Now trying to find more things to buy to get 249 + quidco

Im 5"8 average build and dont have a problem, currently on race 6 on f1 2016 doing full race distances, also done 100s of races on project cars at full length. If anything i did at first but got a height adjustable office chair which can also recline and since then no issues.

I'm using this with the f1 2016 game right now and loving it. Didn't get the gear shift (Mrs ordered the wrong thing when it was on offer last time) but I don't think I'd use it anyway, the wheel has flappy paddles.
andymk3 to dwattsy21

You'll want paddles on F1 for sure. I wanted the shifter for games like My Summer Car and Forza 3 though :smiley:

Picked one up in the pre christmas deals. Great wheel for the money and so much better than a controller. A lot of people mod the brake pedal to increase resistance. There is a whole market in 3rd party brake mods to do so :smiley:.

I got this just before Christmas the wheel by itself got 179 I knew they'd do this :disappointed:

Great wheel for the price. Was initially holding out for a Thrustmaster but the price won't get anywhere close to this. Had mine before Xmas for £129 and use with a gtomega stand. Had many a laugh already over the Xmas break.

30 Dec 16#41
would love to get this but £80+ for a wheel stand and then finding somewhere to put it means it won't work for me :disappointed:
real cost is closer to £250 for most people who need a stand

Picked mine up tonight and been on Assetto Corsa for a while, brilliant wheel. Night and day difference over my rather old Driving Force Pro. Very impressed with the build quality of it all.
cheekybadger
30 Dec 16#44
for people who own it
does the clutch have a biting point?
is the handling different based on car?
how is the build quality of the gearbox- does it slot in well?
does the wheel completely change the experience?
discobob
30 Dec 16#45
Just to say - RTFM - there is a little switch on the G29 - to the left is PS3 and the right is PS4 - for connection (and configurable with then Logitech gaming software etc.) it needs to be set to PS4.
Had a few problems getting it set up in windows 10 and Logitech software but nothing insurmountable - but that may have been caused by the above and detecting as a earlier model wheel

I bough the G920 the day it was released and bought a wheel stand pro V2 to go with it.
Purchased the G29 before christmas on the £130 deal and decided to but the GT Omega stand just to compare the two.
They are both very good stands but I prefer the wheel stand pro V2.
The pro V2 is lighter and a lot faster to set up with it's quick release fittings and takes up less room.
Also got the version 2 gearstick mount for the GT Omega as it looks to take up less room than the original gear mount.
The GT Omega is heavy though if you plan on moving it about a lot.
The wheels themselves are brilliant :smiley:
And rubber band/ O rings on the gearstick to make it sequential is a joy :smiley:

Where did you buy the wheel stand pro v2 from and how much did you pay, have seen one for £95.
Markmerry
31 Dec 16#54
£95 is around the cheapest you will find new.
I bought mine direct through ebay but Amazon, or direct from their website is around the same price.
I would buy one again if I needed one :smiley:
Personally I replaced all 6 bolts with with M3 x 16mm hex head bolts, then grab 2 x Nitrile rubber O rings, I used 44mm inside diameter x 2.5mm thickness. Both can be bought for a few pounds.
Pop the O rings over the gearknob, then stretch one O ring over the bolts at 3-5-7-9 o'clock, then stretch the other O ring over bolts 3-9-11-1 o'clock and push the gater down the shaft.
Then adjust settings in game to use gear 3 as gear down and gear 4 as gear up.
Works great with Dirt rally, have not managed to set sequential in Assetto Corsa yet but only tried last night.

Unfortunately photobucket has some ads with fake virus alerts in. Thankfully I'm not gullible but thought I should warn anyone else who may click on your links. Just close the tab on your phone/tablet and ignore the warnings all.

Got one of these on the last deal at 129.99 and really haven't used very much because only works properly with the games on Logitech compatibility list. Also the shifter is boring and the wheel has shifter and is enough. This is a nice bit of kit but nowhere as good as my old good days of Microsoft sidewinder Force feedback wheel. This wheel works nicely with the new need for speed 2016 multi-player game.
nwarne89

Still on the fence whether to return my 3 day old broken tx and save myself £250 and buy this. Is it really as notchy as people say it is and does the shifter feel cheap..
Hassann
3 Jan 17#62
I think I'm gonna go and get one tomorrow. You lot have tempted me. Never owned or used a steering wheel gaming setup before so I'm new to all of this. I already own Project Cars GOTY Edition so I'm half way there lol. Just need to find a decent stand for the wheel, shifter and pedals if anyone can shed some light? Many thanks

I hope you did a click and collect yesterday then, as they've gone back up in price today.

I got one on Monday and actually prefer it over the thrustmaster tx which is priced at over £400 including gearstick. Safe to say the tx is being returned tomorrow and I'll be £250 better off! Time to order psvr maybe :-)

I've really enjoyed using it so far. It makes gaming a lot more immersive and satisfying. Enjoying Assetto Corsa, flat shifting and all sorts, great fun.
