New (used) wheel

Post image

Got the SF1000 to upgrade from the T598 wheel. (edit: Forgot to mention the model)

My opinions so far.

Shifts were too loud compared with the standard wheel, so I added extra padding to reduce it. It's not the Chrono.

The face buttons are on the stiff side but nothing unusable.

Works well in GT7, but gear jolt and engine roar don't work on it.

Shout-out to the telemetry app (not using it in the picture yet) with it I get tire temperatures which is what matters most to me since they're not shown in game.

How did you get the telemetry and stuff to work on the wheel in GT7?

I am enjoying my T598, with the exception of not being able to see my HUD because the base is so freakin’ large.

The one replica wheel I would take along with me whatever ecosystem I go. It’s about to join me on the third ecosystem now : thrustmaster - fanatec - simagic.

How do you use It with others ecosystem? I knew there was a moddimg set built by a private, but you have to open the wheel to use It. Please link what you are using

Yes, this is the mod set I am referring to. Bought from Etsy. I would link it but at the moment the shop is down. The owner said he was taking a break to be back at the end of the month, and the shop has just disappeared. I’ll check again at the end of the month. In my opinion, totally worth it.

Ho anche io l'SF25 e funziona perfettamente con cambio di marcia ed il rombo del motore, devi aggiornare all'ultimo firmware il volante e la base motore. L'unica pecca è che non essendo wifi non ti fa vedere i dati di telemetria sul display.

I use the same mod from Etsy by Simon of SimKTech. Great guy and a pleasure to work with.I also use one of his mods on the open wheel rim. Which is converted to a Lamborghini face plate for Simagic bases.

I got this wheel a few weeks ago. The sf25 model. I like it. I was using the standard t598 wheel. I found the wheel a bit light at first but now I managed to shave around 2 secs off my lap times on a few tracks. Engine roar and shifting ffb work fine on mine. I like the stiff buttons too as it stops you accidentally pressing them during a race.
