With a rubber wheel, the heat tends to build up and cause discomfort, sweaty grainy, and in extreme cases, you can even blister your hands. Most sim-racers and casual racing wheel users know and understand the issue of hot hands, especially during long gaming sessions. You do notice the larger 100 percent metal pedal heads, which really are nice and large and make for easy use, especially in rapid changes.Ĭomfort is a big thing when it comes to your racing wheel, and Thrustmaster has opted for a cushioned, foam-filled leather lining rather than the customary rubber, closer to how a real steering wheel feels. Of course, how stable you find a set of pedals comes down to how you use them, and as mine is mounted on a stand, the additional 20 percent was neither here nor there. The 20 percent stability is reflected in a 20 percent weight increase on the T3PA, and it does feel like a high-quality build. The Thrustmaster T248 ships with new T3PM magnetic pedals, which Thrustmaster claims are 20 percent more stable than their predecessor, the T3PA. New Thrustmaster T3PM Pedals and Pedal Configuration So by the time Gran Turismo 7 rolls around in March 2022, the T248 will be ready and working. More games are expected to make the list very soon, with Assetto Corsa Competizione support almost ready during the review. So, you can set the race display to show your previous lap time, best lap time, which gear you're in, the rev limiter, race position, and more.Īt the time of review, digital display compatibility is limited, though out of the box it supports: Furthermore, the digital display doubles up as an interactive race dashboard that you can set to display heaps of different bits of information. From here, you can change a bunch of settings on the fly, including wheel rotation, force feedback level, PC or PlayStation mode, and more.
One significant new feature for the Thrustmaster T248 is the digital display found on the wheel itself. Notably, your steering movements are reflected accurately, and in-game feedback such as oversteer, understeer, and racing surface changes quickly feed through into the wheel and your hands.
Of course, you're never going to get the same precision as a direct drive wheel, but that's entirely expected, and the new hybrid drive system definitely gives you more control. Thrustmaster believes the hybrid drive force feedback system delivers up to 70 percent more power than previous models such as the Thrustmaster T150 or its competitors, which is a substantial leap in performance and precision.
A hybrid drive system combines the best features of the two racing wheel systems that you'll find in other similarly priced wheels: gear and belt-driven feedback.
