About this deal

Remarque : Sur Xbox Series X|S, votre boite de vitesse TH8A fonctionne également avec tous les jeux Xbox One™ compatibles. Liste disponible dans la catégorie LISTE DES JEUX XBOX ONE™. Before starting up your game: make sure that the Windows® Control Panel and the Calibration software - TH8 RS Tool are both closed. The TH8S looks great for what it is, though; not too cheap-looking and with enough ‘grown-up’ aesthetic touches to not look out of place on a serious simmer’s rig (at least not at first glance).

With its 1.6″ / 4 cm metal shift lever, TH8S Shifter Add-On is a “short” shifter — specially designed with responsiveness in mind, for clean and precise shifting. The frictionless H.E.A.R.T technology derived from Thrustmaster’s high-end TH8A Shifter Add-On shifter version is incorporated into TH8S Shifter Add-On, ensuring the same extreme level of precision throughout the product’s lifespan. Die Kompatibilität mit PS5-Spielen wurde von Thrustmaster getestet und bestätigt. Zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung wurde die PS5-Kompatibilität des gesamten Sortiments noch nicht von Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC getestet und bestätigt. Also, to use TH8A Shifter on PC, the device must be directly connected to the PC with its DIN/USB cable. Please note: if the shifter is not detected in the Firmware Updater window or if the update fails, try carrying out the same procedure using different USB ports on your PC, to see if that resolves the problem. The two included shift-plates allow the TH8A to adapt to two different driving styles: “H”-pattern (7+1) and sequential (+/-).

It looks good, performs well and may just be the gateway peripheral to enhancing your sim racing experience. Simple construction, but it works We recommend that you connect TH8A Shifter directly to a USB port on the PC with the device’s DIN/USB cable only. The h-pattern framing helps guide the TH8S’ short-throw action into each gear with a satisfying ‘thunk’, with missed shifts decreasing with every minute of use. It felt like the lengthy open gate sections got in the way on occasion, however, and I found myself accidentally shifting from fourth to seventh.

Hinweis: Auf PlayStation®5 funktioniert Ihr TH8A Gangschaltung auch mit allen PS4™-Spielen, die kompatibel sind. Die Liste finden Sie in der Kategorie LISTE DER PLAYSTATION®4-SPIELE. Both units suffer from a surfeit of buttons, unfortunately, which is surprising given how the old Logitech G27 shifter unit came with eight buttons and a d-pad. The latest G Driving Force Shifter is based on the G27’s design, which makes the absence of buttons all the more strange. Still, one can’t fault the tried and tested shifter design. FR - Sur PC, la boîte de vitesses TH8RS est compatible avec tous les volants du marché & avec tous les jeux acceptant le MULTI-USB et les boîtes de vitesses (*)(**) : TH8S Shifter Add-On is the perfect complement to your sim racing setup for enhanced racing sensations. Push your gears to the red line and get started double-clutching with this 8-position manual shifter.Featuring USB and/or DIN connections, the Thrustmaster TH8A works with all racing wheels on the market on PC and with Thrustmaster racing wheels on game consoles EN - On PC , the TH8RS shifter can be used with all currently available racing wheels & all games compatible with the multi-USB feature and shifter devices (*)(**) : Compatibilité avec les jeux PS5 testée et endossée par Thrustmaster. Au moment de la publication, Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC n'a pas encore testé ni endossé la compatibilité PS5 avec toute la gamme. This seems to be the case across the board, with many owners not reporting any reliability issues. So you should be pretty assured that this shifter will be able to take some punishment.

If you are using a TM SIM HUB, please note that this serial connection device is recommended for use on a game console only. Thrustmaster is well-versed in producing h-pattern gear shifters for its fanbase of enthusiastic sim racers. If you open the Windows® Control Panel: make sure that the Calibration software - TH8 RS Tool and your game are both closed. Connect TH8A Shifter to a Thrustmaster racing wheel base with the detachable Mini- DIN/DIN cable only.cm tall and featuring a metal design, the TH8A is a must-have piece of gear for car racing simulation. The feel of shifting gears is totally realistic, and the detachable knob ensures compatibility with all real universal shifter knobs available on the market. Even the Dacia Sandero courtesy car I drove last week had a heavier, sportier gear change – and both would surely benefit from a leather gear knob covering to take away the unpleasant plastic feel. FR - Dans certains jeux PC (pour éviter tout conflit entre le volant et la boîte de vitesses), il peut être nécessaire : De ne rien configurer sur les palettes de changement de vitesses du volant. D’activer la fonction « Bouton Pressé : Changement Vitesse » (par exemple dans GTR™ Evolution ou Race® On). D’installer des plugins si nécessaire (par exemple le « H Shifter Plugin » dans Richard Burns RALLY™ ). / If you are using the Calibration software - TH8 RS Tool: make sure that the Windows® Control Panel and your game are both closed. While still holding the button pressed down with the screwdriver, plug the USB cable directly into one of the USB ports on your PC: do not use any USB extenders or USB hubs.

This combination of plastic and metal is a step away from more premium sim racing manufacturers such as Fanatec. Who prefer to go with an all metal, uber premium buil on their products. Gran Turismo® 5 (*) - Gran Turismo® 6 (*) - GRID 2™ (*) - GRID Autosport™ (*) - NASCAR® The Game: Inside Line (*) - NASCAR® ’14 (*)Some PC games (e.g., Dirt®3™ ) require that you install the latest available game updates for the Thrustmaster shifter to work correctly.
