got tired of the same jerky parking in my spot at work everyday
in full AB just above the deck...it takes six seconds for the F-18 to catch up to its own cannon burst
assetto corsa rally: avoid murdering innocent spectators...its starting to hurt ticket sales
snow finally feels grippier, like how the players from sweden and finland always claimed it does
cant get over just how incredible this looks and feels
ive officially left thrustmaster when it comes to sim racing... do you mind if i sit here please?
on its way fed ex 2day air
currently obsessed with valley diving in the alps...its so well rendered, even in VR
damn the F22 can go from the deck to over 40,000ft like its nothing, an with 300kts to spare
after 8yrs supporting the thrustmaster ecosystem in racing, it's time to end the relationship
i started out with the most basic wheel and pedal set from TM, moved onto the TM 248, TM 300, and finally the T818 direct drive... and while it is a great direct drive servo with just the right amount of nM... the fact that aftermarket wheels cannot be used with the new quick release adapter (unless you pull out the motherboard from a TM wheel and hook the wires up to the new adapter)combined with the poorly designed 4pin power cable that is notorious for wiggling it's way loose mid turn, resetting the servo...
im sad to say that for the racing side at least... i will be moving on.
a replacement 4pin connector that is only made by TM out of warrenty plus shipping costs is about a third of the price of a new DD servo that is compatible with any aftermarket wheels, has the same nM, and isn't plagued by poor power cable designs
so instead of buying this expensive cable again, I'm going to move onto another good brand with more to offer in sim racing
thanks for the good times TM... I'll keep you for your flight sticks though
trying to update dcs but this keeps popping up...first time ive ever had issues updating...any ideas??

how to have full axis and button control connecting the thrustmaster AVA extension to the moza AB9. there are two protruding nubs that serve only one purpose... prob to try and recoup some of the money TM lost after they realized their flight stick would connect and work without an adapter.
TM does not play well with others, the specific changes to the male and female ends of the AVA extension make it only useful to the AVA base... but TM has to understand that their premium products should be adaptable to other ecosystems like every other company is... so simply grind down flat the two nubs highlighted in blue with a dremel after you remove the two screws and piece to be ground
