Hi guys,
After spending money, spending some more, keep on spending.......I still need a shifter
My setup is a Fanatec and just this week I also bought a round steering wheel, then a metal QR and (rightfully so) the wife is starting to complain
When I got the Fanatec, I first tried to use my G27 pedals as I had done on my Thrustmaster wheel: just using the base as USB adapter. With the Fanatec switched ON, the pedals went spiking and I could not use them.
So I am a bit afraid that "other brands" or any other stuff than Fanatec, is going to get me a headache.
That being said: this is not the time to spend almost 300 bucks on a shifter I use a week per year
So, I looked around and found the TH8S which is good enough for me. Nice and cheap, stand-alone: great!
I also found this site: https://support.thrustmaster.com/en...commend that you connect,(PC or game console).
But keep in mind: I am "afraid" that some other signals or interference or whatever, is making the wheel and/or shifter or something else not work properly. It is in that light that I read these lines that make me frown:
- We also recommend that you disconnect the racing wheel and the shifter after each use.
- The racing wheel base must be directly connected to a USB port on the platform being used (PC or game console).
That last one: the wheelbase? Noted in an article about the shifter?
I don't know anymore: any advise guys?
BTW: I do still have the G27 shifter and it is in proper condition (week a year ) so can I make someone happy with that? Netherlands here, keep in mind the porto, but the shifter is okay to go.
