5.0 out of 5 stars Thrustmaster T248 Review: A Game-Changer for My Sim Racing Journey
The Thrustmaster T248 has been an absolute game-changer in my sim racing journey, taking my skills and enjoyment to an entirely new level. After spending hundreds and hundreds of hours in games like Assetto Corsa, F1 23, and other sim racing titles, I can confidently say that this wheel has played a massive role in helping me improve and enjoy the experience even more.Right out of the box, the T248 impresses with its build quality and design. The wheel feels sturdy and well-crafted, with a comfortable grip that makes long racing sessions a breeze. But what truly sets this wheel apart is the incredible feedback it provides. The hybrid force feedback system offers a perfect balance of power and precision, making every turn, bump, and drift feel incredibly immersive and realistic. This level of detail has been crucial in helping me refine my driving technique, allowing me to feel more connected to the car and the road.One of the standout features of the T248 is the customizable controls and digital display. The ability to quickly adjust settings like force feedback strength, pedal sensitivity, and brake force directly from the wheel is a huge advantage, allowing me to tailor the experience to each specific game. This flexibility has been key in my progression, as it lets me fine-tune my setup to match different cars and tracks, giving me the edge I need to shave seconds off my lap times.The T248’s pedals are also a highlight, offering excellent responsiveness and feel. The adjustable brake pedal stiffness is particularly useful, providing a realistic braking experience that has helped me improve my braking accuracy and consistency, especially in high-pressure situations like race starts and tight corners.Over the hundreds of hours I've spent with this wheel, I’ve seen a significant improvement in my sim racing skills. My lap times have steadily decreased, my control over the car has become much more precise, and I feel far more confident tackling even the most challenging circuits. The T248 has transformed sim racing from a hobby into a true passion, and it’s given me the tools to push my abilities further than I ever thought possible.In conclusion, the Thrustmaster T248 is an outstanding sim racing wheel that has made a profound impact on my racing skills and overall experience. If you're serious about improving in sim racing and want a wheel that can help you get there, the T248 is an investment well worth making. I can’t recommend it highly enough!
5.0 out of 5 stars 1 year
Had this wheel just over a year now and been used pretty much everyday there is no problems with it apart for a bit shine it the plastic due to wear but everything has that . But overall and amazing and easy to setup wheel
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent aftercare by Thrustmaster !
Purchased at Xmas we was extremely happy with this product. Although by February the wheel stopped initializing, we contacted thrustmaster and the wheel was collected, fixed and returned within 2 weeks. Yes it was frustrating it broke, but we were very pleased the incident was dealt with so professionally, the guys at thrustmaster couldn't have been more helpful. Great wheel for the money, recommended !
4.0 out of 5 stars Good wheel but setting it up can be troublesome
I bought this after reading a fair number of reviews for F1 racing games and the wheel settings are somewhat lacking, and when you do find them they can be a tad troublesome to sort out. Also don't get me started on Button 12 that's shown. It's tucked away and you have to really hunt for it given that you need to use it in races, and then evem when you have what you think are decent settings they sometimes don't work in game. I've has the wheel die on me as I've left the pits in races. Total loss of power to the wheel. Not the only one that's had this either. Tried the wheel in other games and it worked fine, but F1 2023 is more trouble than it's worth at present, and it'll take getting used to until you find the settings that suit your style.Adding the drivers and the Thrustmaster Console can be a pain as the Console is hidden away on your PC, after you download the drivers from their website as you need to use it to set up the wheel.Use the Run command in WindowsWindows Start> type Run in the box and press enter and then> then type joy.cpl in the box shownclick OKit will then show up, and assuming you have downloaded the drivers needed then click on ThrustmasterThen click on Properties to open the Console and you're in.Don't ask my why it's tucked away as it should be front and centre as you'll need it more often than not.Maybe they'll update it so it actually won't be hidden away anymore.. (Maybe?)As I said. It's tucked away and you will have to hunt for it.Also the settings on the wheel, even using the manual are somewhat vague for certain settings.So be patient when setting the wheel up. Use online help, if needed. There's plenty available on Youtube.I've had this for about a month now and it's the same with Assetto Corsa games too. Setting up iss the same, a tad annoying as some settings are very aggressive to say the least.Same thing goes for this one as you'll need a handbrake for this one too, as trying to add that as a setting on the wheel is beyond belief, so you may want to splash the cash and buy a handbrake.... More money you didn't expect to pay out.I should've done some more online searches before splashing the cash as I didn't realise a handbrake would be needed for Assetto Corsa games.. (Silly me, I should've checked first!)Don't get me wrong it's good wheel, and the gear paddles are a bit "clicky" and some people say they're noisy too.The trouble is getting it set up to suit your driving style as it can be a royal pain the "rear" to say the least. Also if your buying this then may I suggest you get some carpet grippers, as it will slide all over the floor without them you can guarantee it!Cheap and worth it to stop the pedal base from sliding around all over the place.https://www.Bolo.co.uk/dp/B00ANR1GYY?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsBe patient when setting the wheel up, as there are settings available for racing games and as for F1 2023... well not a lot at present as they're somewhat lacking for now. So it'll be a case of suck it and see approach until you get the settings that suit you.. Check out Youtube for race settings for this wheel, and do an online search too as there's a website that lists a good number of games and has settings for the wheel as well.
5.0 out of 5 stars was more powerful than i expected
i watched videos to see if i wanted to buy, i heard that the force feedback isnt amazing or very strong. well to my surprise it is strong. im not a weak guy but its a work out and a half. the customizable power from it was very much needed. it is very fun to use though.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great to get into the hobby
For the price, it’s an amazing bit of kit. The Force FeedBack works wonders, and the pedals feel great.I would totally recommend it for a starter, specially with the £70 shifter coming up later this month.
Broken after 2 months!
I bought this wheel setup in early January 2023, it took nearly a month to arrive and the other night in March, the force feedback just stopped working for me. Now with the inconsistent power delivery it is nearly impossible to play games with the system. I am incredibly frustrated as this was not a “cheap” product and from the looks of other reviews, it seems as if I will not be getting sent a replacement or refund.
