I’m about to get an xbox one so i can play forza. I used to race with a G27 and LOVE the wheel and its quality. Sadly I sold it and now debating the best wheel to use. I’ve tried searching the forums but with little success.
I’ve read alot of negative reviews and problems reported with both the TH and mad cats wheels. If I am going to spend that kind of money I certainly want something of quality that is going to last.
I’ve heard rumors of a fanatac wheel but nothing certain or a legit eta.
I’ve been very happy with my Thrustmaster TX in both FM5 and FH2, although using a wheel in Horizon makes it a more serious game in my mind - but still plenty fun. The only issues I have with the TX are that it isn’t always recognized when the XB1 boots, and every few months buttons start randomly pressing themselves, so I have to remove the wheel from the base and completely reseat it. Other than that, no complaints.
Fanatec and microsoft have closed a license agreement about making racing wheels etc for the XB1, I believe you only need to purchase the steering wheel if you already own the latest Fanatec bases etc, so rather than buying a complete new rig, you purchase only what you need to link your current Fanatec stuff to the XB1. I’ve used several Logitech products in the past and loved them, same with the Fanatec products, loved them, hoping to get a Fanatec wheel when they release what’s needed for the XB1 (sold all my previous wheels when I stopped racing/playing Forza just over 12 months ago, but am back now because I missed the friends I made while playing the Forza series).
I do believe you have to have the csw v2 base for xbox one compatibility. Then you will need to purchase a specific wheel rim when that becomes available.
Hi Dude,
i have been using the Thrustmaster TX and love it lots of fun with the force feed back awesome responce with the Xbone and Forza 5 and Horison 2 9best game of 2014 in my opinion), sometimes get a small issue with the USB conection just need to do a system restart well documented on Thrustmaster Website easy fix and does not happen very often have not had to do it for the last 6 weeks at least. Have a look at inside sym racing review on the product on you tube.
