Something I never thought I'd imagine... Those 'VRS' pedals are elegant, like a mechanical engineering work of art. I Great video's; I live in Australia, and it's at times like these that being so far from anything can be frustrating. I'd love to be able to visit a Sim Racing Expo but my accountant and 'she who must be obeyed'would vigorously dispute that fact.

[@TheSimChannel]

The VRS pedals were indeed _very_ nice :-) Let's hope sim racing grows enough so that each continent can have their own expo!

[@ndrobins]

I'm curious to know if "CUBE CONTROLS" will be producing any wireless versions of their wheel rims in the near future...??? These wheel rims appear to be the very best units on offer at the SimRacing Expo 2019...!!! :-)

[@flightis3dollars]

Very informative and well made video. Amazing how the sim hardware market is developing. I thought when I bought my ECCI 6000 back in 2006/7 that that was it. King of the hill. Many $€¥'s later I have learnt different, haha. Using AF, HE's and Frex now and thinking what else would be cool. Looking forward to part deux.

really loving these mate greetings from NEw Zealand :D

My new favourite simracing channel.

[@LorenzoClara97]

I think that sim racing is becoming more and more expansive. The feel vr project is dead or they are still developing it? With more competition they should try to reduce the price, not making only high end products

[@TheSimChannel]

Well, I think the low to mid range has been stagnating over the past couple of years in terms of the value proposition. However, the higher end has gotten dramatically more affordable in the past couple of years, and that trend appears to continue. The matter of the fact is that for very affordable gear, you need larger companies that can produce and sell in large numbers. For most small companies, that simply isn't an option. So naturally, at places like the SimRacing Expo, you'll see mostly high-end gear. What you can hope for, though, is some trickle down effects. For example, if we'll start to see more and more 20Nm+ DD wheels below 1000€/$, that would eventually create pressure on Fanatec and Thrustmaster to step up their game in the 500-700€/$ price range, improving quality at the consumer price point.

[@C42ST3N]

Actually not, you can still get the "cheap" stuff like 10 years ago, but sim racing ist getting bigger and bigger and people, who are deep into this hobby now can get high quality products, which were not available 10 years ago.

[@LorenzoClara97]

@@C42ST3N I agree with Tsc statement but the low to medium segment hasn't moved since the g25/27. The g29 is only a rebrand of a 10years old wheel, I really hope that logitech will come back, the mod support for those wheels is amazing here in italy (I'm talking about ffb mods not wheels pedals etc). Thrustmaster is maybe the only true company with normal prices, the t300 is a nice wheel to start in my opinion (except for some addons). Fanatec is asking ridiculous money for some belt driven wheels but for the DD wheels is on pair or even cheaper than other brands.. I really hope that feelVr will move some company towards some cheaper DD wheels, not everyone needs 20+ Nm

[@dubtube6691]

The pedals from the "virtual Racing School" are looking very similar to the Heusinkveld pedals, what a coincidence

[@TheSimChannel]

True, the break pedal does feel quite different, though.

[@C42ST3N]

And the pedals are still a prototype.

[@TheSimChannel]

@@C42ST3N Also true! :-)
