T300 or TX ferrari 458 edition?
Both are the same price and look similar
No clue how I'd mount either on my big boy wheel stand so now I'd need to grab one of those too.. budgets are for jerks.

I think they're both the same wheel just one's for PS4 and ones for Xbox.

The t300 has 1080 rotation. Tx has 900. t300 works on PS4, TX on Xbone.

That's the only real difference.

T300 comes with metal backed wheel, TX has plastic with Moar buttans.
Both are 300 on amazon and have pedals that look like they suck worse than my dfgt pedals.

The t300 wheel is nice quality (I have the ferrari gte version). There are plenty of youtube videos comparing them all but I think the TX is a little more plasticky.

I bought the GT 599 wheel for my TX. A few less buttons than the wheel it came with, but feels so much better.

I still like to chill and race with a controller sometimes. Maybe when I have a dedicated cockpit I can just jump into it'll be different but I think they'll end up adding wheel support to Forza Apex at some point too.

Yeah I hope so, I'm just wary as a person who bought the 360 wheel partly because of their promise to make it work on PCs, which they never did.

Is there any possible way to host an automobilista server and be able to join it from the same computer? I cannot figure this out and I am getting way too ragey over something stupid.

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
isn't automobilista hosting currently broken? it was at least when it initially came out; it might have been fixed recently

if you manage to figure it out then I'm totally up for some stadium truck fun although i'm probably end up spinning every other corner if it goes like every other time i've tried to drive the car. i'll put up an Assetto Corsa thing anyway: I was originally thinking of doing some silly rainbow road Lotus fun thing but if I'm not going to be there then putting up something that I really want to do seems pointless

OK so literally all you do is go to multiplayer, create game, czech and make sure it shows up in the server browser, have your friends who are joining get server info,click the big plus button so you can manually add the ip at the multiplayer server browser, and join.

i kept trying to do poo poo via the dedicated because i just kept reading "multiplayer browser in game broken" and didn't even think that the create game button would work. it does.

Best way to play Automobilista is to do all tracks and cars, do a truck stadium or rally cross track, and slap down some F3s, Formula Vees, Karts, and some V8s and just blast around track to see how long you can go before a car gives up.

EDIT: Here's why -

The base TX I got didn't come with the same pedal set you have. They were garbage.

My times in pretty much everything improved after upgrading to clubsport v3 pedals.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the T500 comes with the T3PA-Pro pedals, not the 2-pedal set the T150, T300 and TX come with.

The T300 Alcantara comes with the T3PA (not pro) pedals. I think the only major difference is that you can't adjust the pedal position like on the pros.

Price of 300rs with real pedals is going to be 400-450.
500 comes with good pedals and can be had used for 450 or new for 500

Aren't the 300 at TX a bit faster than the T500?

The Science Goy

Where did you learn to drive?
T500 is an old model. It has slightly stronger force feedback, but supposedly it doesn't have as much detail in the force feedback. The T300 is something like the TX v1.1 - very similar overall. The two new wheels come with cheaper pedals, and have slightly more nuanced force feedback.

Fanatec needs to get off their rear end and release the rest of the new lineup for the CSL stuff.

I really like the Grid games for that, played the hell out of Grid 1. They're on sale on Steam right now as well if you have a Steam Link.

Pcars or grid autosport

Yeah you really can't beat Codemasters for couch and controller.

Only go for Pcars if you're willing to spend half an hour making the controller settings not garbage.

I'm not opposed to making the controller not garbage, I have automobolista and even carts are hard as hell with an XB360 controller.
What are the general things to tweak..
I have grid1 which is kind of fun, I looked into autosport but some of the reviews said you need to grind a lot to get stuff..
Also I love how the sale has all the DLC for around $15 but the season pass is $29, and the complete pack is $70

The issue with autosport is that while it gives you a bunch of different disciplines to play with, the career requires that you progress a certain minimum for each discipline before you can advance. So being required to complete endurance races can seem grindy as hell.
