XB1 TMX or G920?

I really enjoyed my first outing on a wheel on AC (Thrustmaster 458 Spider) , and look forward to the improvements ahead - possible support of the wheel and whatever the patch brings... However - my NEW wheel is dead and I am looking to upgrade. Having already killed one steering wheel from TM I have my doubts as to whether buying another wheel, the TMX from Thrustmaster is the thing to do. My other option (within budget) is the G920. I 've checked other posts on the forum and got some advice but am still undecided - can anyone help me to decide? Anyone got both?
I won't be buying anything 'til the patch drops anyway....

 

Hard decision, TMX will definately feel better FFB wise however the G920 comes with better pedals. If you go with the TMX you're pretty much forced to get better pedals. I'm using the T300 myself (coming from a G25/G27) and the difference is huge.
if your budget allows, get the TMX with better pedals. You won't regret it

 

TMX!!! Do not buy Logitech's re-branded, re-buttoned technology with old mechanical hardware that was already flawed in the G27!
TM does have some quality issues but if you should run into one the support is great and they send out spare parts so you can DIY in many cases. TM have improved on their products, technically and that shows in great FFB. Logitech has only re-packaged something to get money out of the new consoles.

 

LeDude83 - it's more personal choice - for example I prefer logitech type of FFB Logitech wheels are much more reliable (at least DFGT, G25,G27 was) they're also silent (no fans)

 

My Thrustmaster TX lasted 6 months. I liked the FFB better but I prefer to have reability over some FFB whisles and bells.
The Logitechs I had Always worked flawless and the others not so much (Thrustmaster and Fanatec)

 

Thrustmaster aren't the most reliable wheels... Found that out myself. FFB is really good though!

And TM customer service is top notch, always had satisfying solutions. Got free pots for the pedals.

 

I have the TM TMX as my first wheel. First of when used to a controller it is quite a thing to get used to a wheel and pedals. Sitting on the the couch with the controller sits and feels comfortable. Installing the wheel and sitting behind it (I do not have a play seat) is different. I still have mixed feelings about playing with a wheel. I played AC, Pcars, F1 2016 and Forza 6 as well and I had some hours I found it really great. But the learning curve is quite high. I was one of them who thought when I have a wheel my driving will improve same for the lap times. That was not the case. So you need to keep practicing over and over again.

About the TMX I think it is worth the money. The wheel does not feel cheap although the pedals do but they do their job. I read a lot of reviews about the TMX and it seems the hardware for FFB is quite similar to the expensive ones from TM. Not the same but near. I just ordered the T3PA pedals and tomorrow they will be delivered. I am looking forward to feel the difference. Over all I am satisfied with the wheel.

 

Thanks to all for your posts so far... I found the transition from pad to wheel a joyful experience and on AC found quite a difference in my times (quicker), but your advice is good - PRACTICE.
Looking forward to FFB on one make of wheel or another - my conclusion, at present IMO, from your comments, (all of you) is that I probably have to look into the next wheels up from TMX, or G920? I think I could stretch the budget to £300. I would have to sell the children though...

 

I have the G920, I had 2 Thrustmaster Tx wheels that broke, I really like the G920, its usually on sale at Currys so not too expensive, i think its more about the pedals than wheel and the pedals are a real upgrade to the TX pedals.. It seems to get abit of a hammering from Thrustmaster users most of which have probably never used it!! It is different than the TX but I wouldnt say the TX was better, I did like that the TX could be upgraded with better pedals and wheel, which I did..As I said Iike it and wont be swapping back to a Thrustmaster any time soon

 

I think you will find your lap times getting lower with the T3PA once you get them how you like them, I liked the hard rubber to be almost touching the back of the pedal.

 

If you can stretch your budget get a TX.

My only complaint is the wheel is to small so I am looking to upgrade that at some point soon.

The pedals feel great to me so I will stick with them for the time being.

 

I went about as cheap as you can get for a wheel and got a T150 (it was even cheaper due to a decent discount). Despite what I read about it before buying (was deciding between G29 and T150), so far I'm very pleased with it! Only had it a day so will see how it goes in terms of reliability, but so far, so good!

 

Sorry to say that, but difference is night and day, practically in all aspects G29 is better than T150. Better FFB feeling, much faster, no fans, better clamp, no damping, great metal pedals, great leather instead of thin rubber wheel - if price is similar my advice is to try resend back (what I have did after buying T150)

Thanks everyone for your input.....

 

Im not sure if you made your decision yet but my opinion would be to save up some more money and get a tx. While the logitec might seem like a comparable option in the long run there are no options for it. Other than getting the hshifter you cant do much else to it. Thrustmaster has a great ecosystem for their wheels. While the tmx is cheaper than the tx you do give up the option of changing the steering wheel which does make a big difference.
