Another thing I wondered is if the software adjustments have been updated from the old elites. I have the old elites and they're descent pedals but I found the software somewhat lacking. You can only adjust the load cell pressure in increments of 10. In comparison the T-LCM's I picked can be adjusted from 1 - 100, dead zones, and full range brake force adjustability

Thanks for the video Karl. Just set up my Load Cell pedal last evening. I feel like i made a horrible purchase. The movement is so little and every review sided with my opinion. You have given me hope. Will keep at it. I am struggling but will try. Anyone else feeling the same?

They are intended to have only a small amount of travel (seems to be the preferred and most consistent form of braking in sim) but it does break in and get softer after a while.

I got a new one for you. I never sim raced anything and looked at numerous KZread reviews so I ordered the Logitech G920 think oh I will save a few bucks and could not see myself paying for Fanatec nothing. Well after using the Logitech for a few days after downloading ACC I was like wow what would it be using Fanatec I bet GREAT. The G920 is alright but I felt something was missing and yep I just ordered today the CSL 3 Pedal Kit. I still am suprised at myself and I am not rich by any means but off to the rabbit hole I go. I will buy the Mclaren GT3 V2 Wheel next cause I think it going to be gone soon to low of a price for Fantec to keep selling all the time. Once I can afford to get everything I will be listing the Logitech 920 on Ebay to try and recoup some money back. Plus do not get me started since I purchased a Logitech shifter and mount locally, Playseat Challenge from Ireland, stability aftermarket kit for the Playseat from England however, I live in the USA.

Karl may I ask how you mounted these pedals to the GT Omega Titan rig? I have the same one and there doesn't seem to be an option for additional fixation points towards the back of the pedal plate. Just the two holes in the front. This as you might imagine causes the pedals not to sit flush against it and flex slightly under pressure. Did you drill additional holes in the pedals in the back? Thanks in advance ;)

Hi Karl, which rig are you using with them in the clip here?

Once again your review are almost tailored to my gaming needs lol. I have a particular situation. I recently bought a second hand TLCM pedal a week ago. Than just two days avoir, I bought a CSL DD kit that came with the CSL Pedals including the clutch. I left them in their box in case I decide to keep the TLCM and sell them. However, now that the load cell upgrade is released, I wonder if I should get it and sell the TLCM instead. What would be your thoughts? The TLCM have 90kg of force and these ones have 60. However everything else seems to favor the Fanatec. How different do you find the acceleration pedal between the two? Is the CSL one even lighter than the TLCM? It seems that on every other aspect the CSL are better then the TLCM. Am I mistaken?

@supermeperson

2 жыл бұрын

I'm not Karl and I'm far from an expert, but I have been researching this a lot in the last little bit and it's important to note that the kg rating of the load cell isn't the force at the pedal. Particularly if you look at boosted media's hour long csl load cell video, they show how they can depress the tlcm 100kg load cell by hand but obviously with this csl 60kg one you can't From everything I've seen these pedals look very good and sturdy, hard to say what to do with you already having the tlcms though. Good luck in your decision!

I guess it is the plight of the sim racer, always looking for thr possibility of an even higher upgrade lol

Since I heard about load cell brakepedals, I've tried to see if a brakepedal really works this way in a real car, cause I have never driven a car where the brakepedal gets stiff, and then you push more force into it? Since we lack the g-forces in simulators its hard to tell how much you are braking, so it would be awesome if we got some feedback from the pedal instead, like rumble when the ABS kicks in. But I am thinking I might be wrong, so I think to buy this one, since its the cheapest ive found :) but I actually have some loadcells laying around, and amplifiers for these, so I might throw something togheter with a usb-controller to see if I can make my own first.

Hey Karl, do you think that the plastic pedals hold them back a bit for someone who races with grippy socks?

Hi Tim, I guess you are referring to the auto calibration that the standard CSL Pedals need to do on each startup (i.e. you have to push through the full travel of each axis once to set the range). With the CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit, you are upgrading the entire electronics of the pedals, meaning that manual calibration of each axis is possible. These values are saved directly to the pedals internal memory, and therefore the pedal min and max values are immediately applied when you power up the base. This is an undervalued feature - when I switch back to standard CSL Pedals for testing I always forget about the required auto calibration and end up locking my brakes at the first corner :D

Hi Karl, I just bought CSL LOADCELL pedals and brake pedal travel is not even close to yours. It barely moves. I tried to use my body weight to reach %100 brake with %100 brake force and it only went up to around %60. How is this possible? and in a normal scenario, I can only use it with %30 brake force since I do not have a cocpit. Do you think %30 brake force is enough to use a loadcell pedal? I am only playing F1 games.

I don't know why yours has less travel than mine, but you can just calibrate it short so that you can use it with your desk or wheel stand.

@@KarlGosling Thank you for reply. Yesterday I was only be able to play at %30 braking force. Now, I made a wood plate to mount the pedals. I will give a try tonight.

It's weird I went from just the regular CSL pedal set to now this loadcell, which is my first loadcell..it's it strange that it's taking me some getting used to? I find myself struggling making the transition..any and all opinions GREATLY appreciated because I'm struggling

Hi there it dose say which I am very very confused about saying ( Don't connect the RJ12 cable and the USB cable at the same time ) As being a slow learner myself I am worried I might damage the setup as I don't understand what they mean Can you be of any guidance for what they mean Many thanks

This is the Fanatec video where I found the don't use the RJ12 AND THE USB CABLE WITH A BIG RED CROSS IN THE VIDEO It's about 4.1 into the video

my load cell pedal fried my throttle pedal... it also has about 1/4 the travel compared to the one reviewed here. Still waiting on a response from fanatec 5 days later. apparently lots of people are having the same issue. Im now stuck with no pedals and no answer from fanatec.

Karl, which racing rig are you using with the Fanatec CSLDD? I have mine mounted on the playseat evolution but I'm finding that it's not really sturdy enough. I'd like to add the load cell brake but I think that would make the whole thing worse. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

V3's can be run much softer than this one as they are fully adjustable, so in your case maybe yes.

Hi I have that LC brake. My pedal is glitching, so when I'm not applying any input the pedal is flickering slightly and is extremely annoying. Is there a way to fix this? Maybe a update or something as I havent updated any firmware. But if any1 can help me it would be greatly appreciated

Hi Karl, Thanks for the review. I am using T3PA pedals at the moment. I am only playing F1 game and since T3PA has a lot of travel; I have doubts to buy CSL LOADCELL since the travel distance is very little. I don't have cocpit, I am putting the pedals against the wall so I wonder since T-LCM has longer travel zone and ligher spring, should I choose T-LCM? I am not sure If I can modulate Fanatec in F1 game... Thanks for the help in advance

Are people frying their throttle peddle because they are not wiring correctly? I noticed you said that the wire will exit the load cell to the base/pc instead of the throttle. If this is a fanatec issue and not operator issue you would think fanatec would address this.

No it doesn't. The CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit upgrades the electronics of the entire CSL Pedals set, and enables USB connectivity. The standard two-pedal CSL Pedals does not have USB connectivity (it either requires the ClubSport USB Adapter or this Load Cell Kit).
