  I made the move from one of the best belt wheels, the Thrustmaster TGT with T-LCM pedals, to the Simagic M10 when it first launched. I was blown away by the fidelity of the Simagic base. That's what DD is all about feeling the fine details, and the quickness of the base.

  I agree until I learned to dial the base on a car to car basis, I didn’t think it was all that great. But once I learned to keep it from clipping and realized what it was telling me, my entire sim racing perspective shifted. It went to Wow! How is this even the same software I was playing on my g29? Being able to stay in the grip that well almost feels like cheating haha. Nice video man.

  This is what I hate about my Thrustmaster TMX, is I don't have the feel of what the car is doing. It feels like the wheel is late on everything. I love racing Brazil Stock Cars and there's a finesse required to keep those things at the limit (600hp+ RWD with no TC) and I can't do good lap times at all. My wife has given me permission to finance my sim racing upgrades, so I appreciate videos like this, because I'm exactly in the same spot and need to figure out both what I need and what I want. Thank you for making it. Definitely subbed.

  I got into sim racing with a fanatec wheel about 10 years ago. It's finally broken and at the time I was thinking of upgrading, DD wheels were over 2,000 US and the clubsport base was king. So I go to fanatec's site and the cheapest wheel they sell is a direct drive base with wheel separately, after searching around I found I would be shelling out around 600 US for the cheapest setup from fanatec. I was able to buy my load cell pedals with my wheel and shifter set for under 300 US from fanatec and I later sold the shifter set for 60 US. I am sad they simply gave this sector of the market to thrustmaster.

  Personally I drive a simulator because I like driving on track, not to be faster. DD makes SO much of a difference regarding feeling the track, immersion is just amazing with one. Worth it for me for sure!

• 
  @grigorioschristodoulou52296 ай бұрын

  I really feel the same way. You can enjoy driving around a track, trying different lines, different cars etc. and even race competitively with any wheel. You can even be quicker with weaker feedback sometimes (by not letting the car movements affect you). But if you want to be immersed and properly drive an angry racecar, you need at least 10 Nm. Above 15 you start risking your wrists sometimes, depending on the game. E.g. if you spin out in the 992 in rF2, the force towards the locks gets insane

  I have a simulator to simulate not to be faster. I don't waste money to be faster.... Maybe someone is faster than you and is playing with controls. My question in every buy i make is: is this thing simulating as real as posible ? That's my question. How do you compare the simulation sensation against a fanatec V2.5? It is worth the money?

• 
  @grigorioschristodoulou52296 ай бұрын

  If you set it up properly, you can for sure get a more immersive experience. Idk how the Fanatec is, but the kerbs on my OSW DD wheel shake the whole rig. And driving formula or prototype cars with high FFB strength is awesome!

  @byron boyce This is the first video of yours I've watched. I like your style. You seem like a down to earth guy with a regular sim setup that most of us can hope to achieve. I prefer that than watching guys on $100,000 rigs. About a year ago I got a Fanatec DD1 and have driven nearly every day since. The reason I'm writing here is because I'm interested in your rear view mirror. Is that a tiny monitor projecting backwards from your car? I can't see it clearly enough in the video. Please explain it. Thanks and keep up the good work.

  Thank you! As far as the rear view mirror, no, nothing so cool as that. It's just the virtual in-car mirror that is shown in the cockpit view. It's just due to my triple screens that the mirror can be fully seen and is practical to actually use as my main mirror.
