PS4 Thrustmaster T500RS Wheel

Hi,

It has been mentioned previously here that officially supported wheels for the PS4 will function. Are there plans to support the Thrustmaster T500RS wheel? Thrustmaster support have listed the T500 on their support site with the following caveat. This decision is upon each game developer and will therefore vary from racing game to racing game.

Thanks.

 

No, T500RS will never work for PS4.


Kidding!!

 

You already have the answer as you saw what Kunos said there.:

REMOVED BY MOD: that was for the XBOX ONE Version

 

The T500 is not officially supported on the PS4.

Please can Kunos confirm if the T500 will work with AC on the PS4?

Thanks.

 

The T500RS I had was licensed by Gran Turismo. So it has PS support. As long as the PS4 recognize the wheel there should be no problem.

 

Has a list of supported wheels for the PS4 version been published yet?

Thanks.

 

Might want to check your original Thrustmaster link.

 

I would rather hear it straight from the horse's mouth.

 

T500 and T100 are wheels that are not officially supported by PS4 ,but they work perfect in all the racing games on PS4 like Driveclub, The Crew , Project Cars , Dirt Rally (T100 was tested personally by me in all those games and it works good). So i would wanna see these 2 wheels work on Assetto Corsa for PS4 too. Not to mention ,when the Project Cars got released on PS4, a huge amount of ppl that bought the game, rushed to buy a T100.

 

I am interested in what models of the upper-league wheels, namely Fanatec gear, are compatible with AC on PS4, too. I am considering to leave Windows platform completely, since Microsoft has pissed me so seriously over he past 18 months, and I am also considering to get a better wheel for the PC AND PS4, but I do not want to buy an expensive kit if I cannot use it on console for AC, in case I indeed migrate to it completely.

Researching the issue, time and again had me ending up in threads on this problem with Project Cars. In PC they released a Fanatec wheel list, but I saw that not all of their wheel rims are compatible with PC on PS4. So you can end up having the wheelbase, but the wrong wheel nevertheless.

For those not knowing the problem, Sony has introduced security chips for PS3 and PS4 that third party manufacturers must build into their hardware to have the console recognising the hardware. Only then this hardware will work with just any game on console, since the console generally recognises the hardware. If that chip is missing, software developers, in this case Kunos, must compensate for that by including dedicated software software support for that given piece of hardware without such a chip, else the hardware will be useless in that given title. Thats why it is important that Kunos gives clear confirmation of what wheels and rims work, and what not, the Fanatec stuff still comes without such security chips at least for PS4, so it needs software support to be given to the game.

Sony got burnt with third party equipment that came in the dress of official PS equipment, but was of bad quality, giving Sony a bad name that way. Also, they want to cash on having their own wheel especially licensed and promoted as the official wheel for Gran Turismo 6. It cannot be ruled out that they will even release a PS4 firmware that bans all hardware that now functions by game's software support, to support their future official GT wheel, and lock out the competition. A worst case scenario, but Microsoft and its GWX campaign - that crossed the red line by a huge jump and more - taught us that nothing can be ruled out anymore.

I would like to buy a better wheel than my G27, but these considerations and my idea of abandoning Windows completely, hold me back since months. Right now I have an isolated Windows 7 that gets no longer updated and is banned form accessing Microsoft servers, as a game launcher only, everything else - EVERYTHING - I do under Linux Mint. There will be no Windows 10 on my system, nor any other Microsoft software. Im done with Microsoft, for life. Thats why I look for alternatives, to get my daily candy via Linux and console. Flight simming is already scrapped for the future.

As it is, AC will be my only driving interest on PS4.

 

Hm, I ended in here by Google search Did not see there is also a more dedicated Fanatec thread, since I jumped the thread list. I copy my posting over to there. Sorry.

On the thrustmaster web site there is list of games that have the t500 support and Assetto Corsa can be found on the list.

 

WOW... changed in the last week

 

any official update on the t500rs compatibilty?

 

chances are if its not licensed for use on the ps4 then it may not work

 

please is there an update, other wise i have to cancel my pre order as pcars/driveclub/dirt all perfectly work with the t500rs, and i am not inclined to buy a new wheel for this.

 

Just saw this video :
At e3 they were playing with a t500, I think I have my answer!

 

Clearly can be seen in the video at 2 minutes, a T500 plugged into a White PS4 located on the floor.

I'm having problems with my pedals. Throttle and clutch are switched. Does any know if this can be changed?
