    My only problem with VR is the discomfort in the face and how I lose my surroundings. I thought it would make me nauseous before I tried it, but in sim racing it fortunately never did. And everything else is actually more practical than triples, which turned my room into a mess when I had them for my setup.

    so you are aware that that CSL elite box you showed us is not one of the original high-performance "+" boxes 7Nm PlayStation certified not just compatible and it will have blue raised CSL elite stickers on the right hand side of the face,Fanatec as long been known for the way they manipulate products and names. The original boxes with the raised blue logos are the only original CSL elite dual built drive 7 N meter boxes that were PlayStation certified and will always work with every generation of PlayStation. The internal of this box were superior to the standard non "+" boxes. I bought three of these originals. I still have one in a box upstairs because I understand what fanatic does with their products. They don't get better overtime. They just figure out how to make them cheaper.

I find also it's much easier with my 4th screen to trail brake and notice the other drivers on the inside blind spots

    I never understood people who said vr is not comftable meanwhile playing a racing simulator. If you want to copy the real thing, then why don’t you copy the feel of the helmet? If comfort that metter, why do you use dd wheel base and fight back with the force feedback, why don’t you just sit in your sofa with a controller in your hand? Is your vr almost 1kg? Maybe train your neck. Is the headset swety in a hot summer day? Well, in f1 it’s usual to lose 4-5kb weight because of swet.. this is why racing is sport because they are not just sitting in their cars (the drivers) but also training different muscles

    • @tm21simracing

      Clubsport vs CSL, I'd go with clubsport in a heartbeat. DD+ depends on whether you need PS comparibility. I'd say 12Nm is sufficient for anything non-F1. I have DD+ for compatibility, I don't even run it at 100% FFB.

      Not sure where you got the number from, even the cheapest CSL DD costs more than that. The PS compatible version of CSL DD costs $600, and the PS compatible CS DD costs $1000, the price difference is $400. And yes, to me the additional torque is worth that price difference.

    People just dont get it. Ill also never unsrrstand people that turn dampening all the way off and ruin alot of the center forces with spring and dampening turned all the way down. You want those center forces of torwue so when you turn in if it does go loose yku know its grip or understeer snd you can catch it. If the wheel itself is lolser already its harder to tell much harder. So i love center torque it helps me be faster truely. But of course yall can turn dampening down im nust stating the whole turning everything off that just doesnt work like some think. Ypu wont get more detail. Once you get dampening right the details will still come trhough but more counter weight. Sure to much actually dampens things but the right amount is so so nice. Ive told everyone there is a reason early on dd wheels were all made with higher torque dd is meant to have that its so smooth and it isnt a belt being pulled by a motor creating forces. So its just really different. You need like 10 to 15nm to get a true dd experience and get all of the benefits that comes with.

    @reviewforthetube6485 3 місяці тому

    This is the first wheelbase ive ever gotten that made me instantly faster. It's the knowing where grip is at all times. You can feel where you sre at when pushing super hard at the limits of grip and it just holds on stronger and longer then other wheelbases which usually loosen giving a slight understeer feeling around some corners yet this wheelbase doesn't do that. It always feels connected it's probably the least understeer feel ive ever had from a wheelbase due to feeling like I can control every little movement of the car. People say power doesn't matter but after experiencing this I think it does. I think the motor being able to hold the condtant torque is what helps the feeling of control. If you don't feel that weight or wheels you don't have that same control it's like every movement gets felt. When looser it feels like you have to over use the wheel. But there is a happy medium with this base yku don't need to use it at 15nm its way to heavy of a 15nm base for most to enjoy that but the power of it helps you use it even at half power. It has this perfect balance of free flowing while sligjtly dampened giving a super polished feel and tons of details. While feeling the weight but also being able to whip it around when needed. I mean its the only base that I've used that I could catch slides on f1 2023 no other wheelbase does the feeling of losing traction you can't feel with other bases. And f1 2023 has always had a slight lag so this wheelbase helps alot tbh. Idk how to explain it better then what I have. The most simple of answers is you feel much more grounded. Also for those cswv2.5 lovers out there if you get this hit me up in the comments or on my page I found the settings that make it feel identical in weight and feel. It's 50%50 so wheelbase not 100% like some say 50/50 works really good with this base. It won't over work you ans you still get that weight when needed with all of the detail you could ask for! Turn INT to 2 or 4 depending on what you like it allows for much more raw ffb details to come through then the stock INT at 11.

    • @tm21simracing
      @tm21simracing 3 місяці тому

      Yes, the street car I track also falls into that torque range, but when you are actually moving with the vehicle, the response is just so much more clear. I think the problem with sim racing is that everything is felt through the wheel (and some visual cue from the display, for those that does not have a motion platform), I do think I need a stronger wheelbase to get that level of granularity. BTW in the video I mentioned it was set to 85%, which translate to 12.75Nm, and I thought that was sufficient. I got the 15Nm version because I need PS compatibility. If that's not important, I would agree that 12Nm should be sufficient. And no, 8Nm is not enough if you ask me. And just like everything else - I would totally expect people to have different opinions.

    • @unotoli
      @unotoli 2 місяці тому

      @@TheOfficialRandomGuy It is not about max torque, it is about slew rate - how fast those Nm can be delivered, how fast = precise motor can change directions (on stiff GT3 and formula cars). Torque specs on old FF bases are loose, slew rate is unknown. More slew rate = better, while 10Nm is sweet spot (limit) most pro-simraces are settled at. The comparison is unfair, CSL DD should have been compared to regular ClubSport DD.

    I was thinking to upgrade from csl dd to this, but I already invested in QR1 for both my wheels. Since the fact that you invested so much money into their ecosystem means nothing to them and they can't give you a good price on qr1 -> qr2 swap + they charge so much extra on this base compared to competition - selling my 2 wheels + booster kit + csl dd and going somewhere else is a better financial choice. I also don't trust them with their quality - plastic QR1 was a trash and the fact they were OK with selling this to 8nm wheelbase should be punishable. Also the C clamp that doesn't work and fragile connectors at the back.

It should be Junk Vs Junk for those that love to throw away money on false claims and overpriced cheap equipment with no quality control made by a company that provides no customer support after sales. The internet is fairly well up to speed on just how crap Fanatec is now, no one should be buying this junk with better options out there.

      Lool you don't know tf you are saying. Fanatec has huge problems with shipling en customer service but their quality is good. Really good. There is a reason their podium wheel base is one of the most used by esporters but zure we will listen to you over them ;)

      @@pedramr34 i do know VERY well what i am saying, after going through 3 DD1s before i had one that was somewhat acceptable in terms of function, and didn't randomly stop working or randomly lose connection to the wheel requiring the wheel to have to be taken off and put back on to correct it, which was a fairly common issue. Being the fanboy you are, you'd know most esporters using anything from Fanatec are doing so because they're getting it free, and they're sponsored. That's a known fact. Their forum was rife with complaints being quickly deleted years ago, their customer support was pretty much not even there, and posting on the forum would result in posts being removed if you complained of any type of fault. That's a known fact. Quality of their products, where to start with that... it is made in China for a start... it is quality control checked by persons that have no real idea what the product should actually do... they use the cheapest softest Chinese muck metal alloys available, screws strip and bind, alloy surfaces and components rust because of the high ferous metals content of cheap alloys they used.... Their quick releases are an absolute joke, flex and play in there, not quick to remove, common connection issues, snapped pins... it was all too common. Google it. Their wheels are often out of round and also flex a lot more than the race quality they suggest them to be... Software and drivers? Only took 4 years to get the DD1/2 to do half of what they said it should... Force feedback was notchy and grainy as hell, and i never realised just how terrible that really was til i got a Simucube, which i might add was cheaper here than my DD1 and more powerful... None of the top guys streaming use Fanatec, Dave Cam, Jardier, Jimmy Broadbent, the list goes on, and every one of them moved on. They simply don't say much because A they were getting it free, and B they are sponsored to support the products.

      I am a victim/survivor of the Fanatec Black Friday Fiasco 2023. It took 4 months for my order to arrive. I received no reply to my support inquiries, and almost zero communication along the way. Their products are decent, not junk imo. But there are equal, if not better, options out there which are from companies that know how customer service works. That being said, I hope tm21 enjoys the wheel base. From what I have heard it's pretty good.

      I have never had any problems with the gear i have bought except a broken joystick on the GT DD Pro wheel wich Fanatec fixed and returned to me on warranty within 3 weeks in the middle of the Black Friday chaos. I have enough equipment for two racing rigs with them. DD Pro and DD+, several wheels with QR2. Two sets of pedals and a Fanatec Shifter. Im not ignoring those that had a bad experience, they are real, but i think there are much more good than bad with Fanatec. Usually the happy Fanatec customers aren't the ones you are seeing online on Reddit.

      Yes, for those that wants actuators. But I don't think I'll ever go that route though. At that point I'll just take my car to the track.

    Still love the gt3 idc if its more plasticky I always find myself grabbing that over the 2.5x. Everytime not even joking lol The reason the 2.5x felt firm and more detailed ffb is its smaller thats how it works.

    • @tm21simracing
      @tm21simracing 3 місяці тому

      It is firmer because of material and construction, yes size is also a factor. You can try grabbing the wheels with both hands and twist them. The Mclaren GT3 will bend quite a bit, the formula will not.

    I currently have the BMW GT2 and Formula Carbon and am upgrading to the QR2. I really want to love my formula rim but it is just too small, especially after jumping off the 320mm BMW rim. I tend to spin the car turning too quickly into corners or not catch slides smoothly because I can’t power through the FFB smooth with its smaller radius. I’m sure with some driving time I would adjust but I really wish they offered a 300mm formula option. Odds are I will end up selling it off and giving the McLaren a shot in hopes I can switch between the two wheels for different events and still keep my muscle memory. Lots of people seem to like it.

    I agree with you. I am still in a quandary as to which one to get. I want the podium module as well, but the McLaren wheel doesn’t take it, but the formula wheel is small. I currently have the Clubsport RS Wheel and would like a formula wheel, but still undecided

    VR is more fun but it’s more faff and I don’t improve when using it. Triples are just nice and convenient. Single is enough to be fast, even irl you don’t look at the car too much, you know where they “should be” and if they aren’t most of the time a wider fov just means you have a better view of your impending doom.

    In 2d the imagination is missing. With Tripple I sit in the living room with 3 monitors that I drive around. As if the living room is the car. In VR I sat in the car in 3D and felt like I was on a race track. I'd rather give up my steering wheel and play with the keyboard again than ever go into a race with my living room again.Furthermore, 3 monitors cost significantly more to purchase and the electricity price. It's unbelievable how much space is wasted in the apartment. And all those unnecessary cables...
