At about @3:00 you say something along the line that the circuit board computes the information to understand bumps on the track etc. and then turns it into current. But surely the simulation data is computed in the PC or console? I mean the circuit board on the wheel has no idea what is going on "racing-wise", it is just getting commands on what to show on its screen and what force feedback current it should drive the motor with? Of course, the board also transmits the position of the switches back to the PC/Console. The top end of the board seems to have a bunch of MOS-FETs for driving the high current, but no "simulation computing" is actually done in the wheel? I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me can tell us what is right, I'm no Sim Racer but have some understanding of electronics and communication between electronic devices. Great video - you have lots of interesting stuff on your channel - well done! I hope you or someone here in the comments can help me understand if I am on the right track or if I am "Mazepining" off it 😁
Yeah the force feedback data is generated in the game and sent to the wheel. The Wheel has it's own board to parse the data from the game and generate the appropriate force feedback. What Scott said was a little misleading when so much is dependent on the game engine code.
Wow they're still using that shitty plastic quick release system?! No matter what I did on my T500RS it would always come loose and always felt so flimsy.
Much prefer a direct drive. Love my ricmotech system. Most mid level belt drives are about to become obsolete with fanatec dropping their entry level CSL DD

I've been meaning to ask this from you for a while, and since we're on the topic of F1, the wheel, and simulators: what do you think about the F1 games by Codemasters? I know that it isn't a simulator, and it's not even trying to fully replicate what driving an F1 car is like, but several drivers (like Norris and Verstappen) have said that the physics are very bad, and the cars drive like they're constantly on ice. What are your thoughts on it?
I've seen many people blaming the game for having Low FFB, but when questioned about which mistake they made, they don't really see the connection between the cars setup, the drivers driving style and the wheel loosing FFB in half the corners of a track. More people should watch this video to understand, how a wheel actually works, so that they can make full use of its advantages over controllers.
I'd love to know what settings you are using, get an idea of how it's supposed to feel. A lot of user settings tend to be pretty low on the surface, curb effects compared to what I would expect on a car with limited suspension.
@@KayoMichiels they always say that, but with F1 games made for controller and console play, you never can be sure. If these games had VR, they couldn't get away with this immersion breaking lag. Then they'd had to take this effect out and we'd know it was very very likely just visual. But these games don't have VR. Will be interesting to see once there's a PSVR2 and Codemasters would be interested in making the F1 games VR compatible again.
Well, direct drives are really the best when it comes to detail and strength, but dissecting one is pretty straight forward and will result in a 2 minutes video
I bought the basic Thrustmaster TMX PRO as my first wheel half a year ago. It works great, but I now wish I had saved up for a higher end wheel, base and pedals like this one. Oh well, a few years or half a decade when it's time for an upgrade I know I'll go for a higher end set.
I think fanatics new DD wheel is just the motor from a CSL Elite and if you’re swapping over to fanatec I don’t think it comes with a rim which sucks there expensive
So you think the standard CSL Elite motor can do 8Nm without a belt transmission? Then the normal CSL Elite Wheel WITH the belt should have about 200Nm torque judging be the lever length.
No matter how good this replica wheel looks, Fanatec will still be the superior product until Thrustmaster release a better wheel base, pedals and shifters.
True but that rim itself is superior to any of Fanatec’ formula style wheels, I own the V2 and I would rather have the thrustmaster if it was possible.
Yes but you're paying for a better quality than TM. With the upcoming release of csl dd, we can hope that the price of that f1 wheel will also be on the reasonable side. Have a nice day. 🖒
@@johnpaulguevarra6916 I don’t know you know, the formula v2 is hard plastic with a carbon fibre front plate literally the exact same design philosophy as this new TM wheel and the price is similar. If fanatec make a new one with a big display I think you can double that cost straight away.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a cross Colab of something like this with the UA-camr AvE. Telling us what types of electronics it’s using, grade of plastics, and how it chooches.
Hi Driver61, I have the exact same wheelbase. So I'm very curious what force feedback settings you're using in-game and on the Thrustmaster software for the most realistic experience. I'm really curious since you have driven an actual f1 car in the past. Thanks
All i can see are cheap electric components circuitboards etc on the inside..some serious cost cuts made in the wrong place..so i can imagine the inside of the steering wheel will be made of compononts of less quaity...aka...short life. Zip tys used as factory default..says enoug about there lack off effort to make some quality product,but did their best to make a good profit product..with nice looks on the outside,but made from the cheapest components on the inside.
Sadly the wheel is obselete just one day after the video was released now that other makers announced direct drive wheels for cheaper than this belt driven one. But great informative video nontheless.
An odd situation...Here we have Fanatec just released a budget DD wheel base but no F1 steering wheel quite like this and Thrustmaster released a high end style F1 steering wheel but no DD base... Now if they could both offer each!
RealRacing3 on Android is surprisingly good at communicating the limits, inspite of no haptic feedback and touch. At least for me using touchsteering, no assists sensitivy 10 on ROG Phone II with 240hz samplerate

Is this wheel compatible with fanatec bases?
No
Awesome ! That will be an instant buy when it will be available again someday !! Never seen an integrated LCD screen of that size ever !!
Does iRacing support Nvidias Reflex software? Would be nice in the first chicane at Monza...
All i can see are cheap electric components circuitboards etc on the inside..some serious cost cuts made in the wrong place..so i can imagine the inside of the steering wheel will be made of compononts of less quaity...aka...short life.
Zip tys used as factory default..says enoug about there lack off effort to make some quality product,but did their best to make a good profit product..with nice looks on the outside,but made from the cheapest components on the inside.
2:34 What is the wrench for if I may ask?
Your videos feel short to me . Good ,but it seems like they’re - quick 🤘🏻🏁 I probably just want more content to consume 🏎Great job!
Sadly the wheel is obselete just one day after the video was released now that other makers announced direct drive wheels for cheaper than this belt driven one. But great informative video nontheless.
I have the same wheel! The feedback helps me understand my driving habits. I use this channel and the sim for my 370z.
I wonder what Thrustmaster are thinking today after Fanatec made this entire line of wheel bases obsolete overnight?
They still have no real entry level set. So they dont i think. Still room for thrustmaster and logitech.
Made obsolete by a product you can't buy yet... uh huh.
An odd situation...Here we have Fanatec just released a budget DD wheel base but no F1 steering wheel quite like this and Thrustmaster released a high end style F1 steering wheel but no DD base... Now if they could both offer each!
RealRacing3 on Android is surprisingly good at communicating the limits, inspite of no haptic feedback and touch. At least for me using touchsteering, no assists sensitivy 10 on ROG Phone II with 240hz samplerate
so this is the first obsolete steering wheel launch?
First
