Switching from T500rs to CSL Elite

[@kodakreeeam9971]

viper, I have an idea. For the next AC championship, on of the races should be a showdown between the Ferrari FXXK, the McLaren P1 GTR, and an Aston Martin Vulcan mod. I don`t know on which track though.

[@aahsnowman2325]

viperconcept I’ve been looking everywhere for a review of GT Sport with the fanatec CSL elite.. omg I’m so excited. On the fanatec website it shows NO compatibility with GT Sport so if you could just get into that in the GT Sport review. Like some questions I have are.. Do you get proper force feedback because of the no compatibility? if not will a Cronus max adapter or similar fix this? Please and thanks :D

[@Hello5Jack]

ViperConcept the break pedal is heavier to stop you from locking up your brakes, when you get used to it you will see that it is very useful when breaking.

[@fkfalkkevin]

how does it work?

[@mikalcopeland123]

It's a load cell. Instead of being a spring resistance and measuring brake pedal travel it measures pressure instead. The body is better at remembering pressure than travel. That'd why you're able to recognize instantly when something is wrong with your brakes.

[@zedzedski7382]

So true. It takes a bit of a time to get used to it but once you get used to it there is no going back. It feels more natural and gives you same effect that you get in a real car.

[@buzzin-hornet]

You do understand that the Fanatec brake pedal is a loadcell yeah? No mention of that in the vid. And that's why is stiffer.

[@Thomasso2007]

That is right. Brake pedal is load cell pedal and why is so hard but at the same time it is like in real cars where the harder you press the pedal the harder you break. Not to mention that CSL Elite brake pedal can be adjusted to be more hards or soft. And for me another important thing... man can use CSL Elite pedals (and hand brake and probably a gesr shifter too) with other manufacturers steering wheel. I'm gonna use CSL pedals (with load cell brake) with my T300 wheel base.

[@buzzin-hornet]

Tomasz Staśko I'm going for the Fanatec V3 pedals i think purely because i like a stiffer throttle and clutch pedal and theres no way to adjust the stiffness of those pedals on the elites i don't think.

[@Thomasso2007]

Yes, in CSL Elite LC you can only adjust stiffnes of the brake pedal. For me it is enough :) I'm rather casual racing games player, but load cell brake pedalis really great, it is more like driving a real car.

[@TooManyChoices1]

BUZZIN HORNET get stiffer springs.

[@RCAUTOKAT]

I bought one of these days for $ 15 without a power supply.

[@imnota]

If you're looking for a cheap wheel look for a used logitech driving force gt (pretty good ffb for a beginner, 2 pedals, shift paddles no shifter), it can be found for under 40 euros. Or if you wanna spend a bit more, you can find a logitech g25 (which has better ffb, 3 pedals and a shifter) for like 80 euros. I just bought one for 75 shipped to my door. (btw euros and $ are almost equal, 1 dollar=0.8 euros. So you could actually get them for pretty much the exact same price but in dollars.) If you go cheaper than that there's no force feedback(ffb), so it's barely better than a controller, pretty much a waste of money. And there's no wheels for 20 or under, but you can find some for like 50, but again, for 50 a new wheel will be trash, so look at used stuff.

[@Mad1723]

Just a comment: Your wheelbase is the PS4 CSL Elite and the steering wheel is Xbox :P You marked it the other way around! Also, the pedal is heavier because it's load cell based. It measures pressure instead of travel, which is a better way to be consistent with your braking

Congrats on the new wheel - she's a real honey. Still on my T300. Looking forward to your GT Sport review. Been playing it myself. Totally different game, and I have to say, the online racing is top quality. Its shocking really - I totally expected to find so much trash, but online its been just such a great community and some really great clean driving. I think the whole construction of how the game is designed to promote people to drive better, and that knowing the only way to go up is to drive with respect, has just made this huge and awesome online system. Looking forward to what they do to it over the years now that the platform is on place.

[@dnaluis]

for the heavy pedal thingy, i think itz ok coz itz like driving my real car. using V3 pedal btw, u will love the heavy pedal mate, no worry

[@enricomazzarellosimracing6502]

No doubt, that is the best compare between two wheels , and when i saw you turning with Csl it was really visible smoother... I'm driving now with a G920 , which is surely not comparable with the both of Two, but i switched from Tx ( which went broken after 1 and a half year ), and i had the same impression between Tx, and G920. The Force Feedback of the Tx, was kinda giving me for sure, more ( and accurate ) information , but the feeling i got from the drive itself, it was of much smoother and accurate reaction, and made me easy to reach some good times on lap , than Tx. What i did not like of the G920 in despite, is the resistence of the gears of the Force Feedback which went broken very fast when i tried to push it over 70% ( on Assetto Corsa )... Now, Logitech gave me really fast a New one, without make too much questions, but even with the New one, i'm not gonna Try to push it so hard, cause doesn't give me the feeling of a better resistence than the old one. I wish to know what is your opinion about Tx compared with G920 or G29. Congratulation again for the quality of this review, obviously i subscribed the channel

calm i am, read you should =p I said is arcade coz how i felt to play it ... was on a friend house also i dont have a PS4 .. it was cool game but im not saying is bad or so... im saying is likes arent the same as worth or not ... if you like the game .. buy it ... if you searching a simulator maybe there is other better option

You can mount the Clubsport Handbrake directly to the Clubsport Shifter. The Shifter comes with some additional parts that you can place inside the grooves of the shifter base. With these parts, you can mount the Handbrake on the left or right of the Shifter for a "rally car" like experience.

@ArdaBlock I can give you a reason. Although I never tried VR, I watched gameplays on VR. It's good to watch for one time or two just because of curiosity. But it's a terrible thing to watch all the time and enjoy. While sitting and watching a VR video (especially in racing) through monitor, makes me tired and distract because of all the shakes and random turns of camera.If viperconcept jumps to VR, I don't think I could watch his videos all the time and I believe great amount of people would do the same. Btw, sorry for bad English.

That intro sound brought me back to the late 90's Playstation time.

[@TooManyChoices1]

Wait until you figure out what the load cell actually does to that “stiff” brake lol. It’s not a potentiometer ! It measures force not distance like a real brake. To get full brake you will be digging in if you don’t adjust the load cell. I made mine match my cars brake feel lol.

[@chuckystang]

a real brake does not measure distance...

[@italiwoods]

[@alexhndr]

So, in short: Logitech G29: "Toy" wheel XD Thrustmaster T500RS: Casual Racer's wheel Fanatec CSL Elite: Pro Racer/Drifter/Rally driver's wheel. No matter about what wheel is bad, what wheel is good... and who deserves a "win" in this comparison. In the end, the REAL winner, is the one who use it... *you*

[@viperconcept]

Wise words.

[@thumpertorque_]

I wouldn't put T500 RS in the casual wheel category though. It costs $600 and it should be in the mid range category and even the G29 should be an entry level wheels for sim racers but far from being a toy. A toy wheel would be a controller or a wheel without force feedback for playing NFS and stuff.

[@alexhndr]

Opposite Lock The "Toy" wheel is actually referencing him about the difference that G29 has with both wheel. Still, G29 is a good entry lever wheel for sim/sim-arcade beginner.

[@deepdiamond5045]

are the g27 and g29 differences so much?i think if i buy a csl elite or t500rs one day i cant fit it to a wooden desk because of ffb right?

[@Serzari]

It's not unfair to call the G27 a toy wheel even if it's not "casual" or representative of your competitiveness or passion for sim racing. I say this as someone with a G27 unless I find better for very cheap secondhand. It has lower end plastic components and internals, the gear force feedback is rough (and noisy and clunky) and not mechanically authentic to the feel of a car, and 11" diameter is unrealistic for anything but formula style wheel rims. The shifter is also one of the worst H-patterns on the market. 900° of rotation and leather/aluminum feel still counts for a lot, as does aluminum paddles and pedals with unique resistances and shapes (even if progressive brake resistance would be better). I wouldn't be as harsh as to call the wheel a toy controller, but I have no qualms saying the shifter is built like a toy, and a bad one at that. What the hell kind of design is a shared 6th/reverse gate on a gear shifter?

Yea, when downshifting in some cars in a corner it will send you spinning if you dont break and match the revs with your heel at the same time. Keeps the car stable by not suddenly reducing speed from the downshift.

[@ivcars003]

My steering wheel broke. I am thinking of buying a G29. What do you think

[@viperconcept]

It's a good steering wheel to start. Maybe the steering wheel diameter is a bit small, but despite that the wheel give you a good FFB and nice driving sensations. Remember to buy the G29 H-shifter too (it's relatively cheap).

[@kikker4394]

Its a good whell, i prefer the g920

[@lucabuzz2678]

viperconcept I heard that the pedals on the G29 aren’t really the best, but I haven’t tried it . I never actually had a wheel, I’m kinda looking for the thrust master tmx, as it’s not that expensive and reviewers say it’s good. What do you think?

[@viperconcept]

@Tantareanu Jimmy Remember the G29 is the cheapest steering wheel that offers the Clutch pedal too (and the H-shifter is easy to purchase). The brake pedal is pretty hard to push, but once you get used to, you don't care. No problems on the Clutch and on the throttle pedals. But the pedals are available on "F1 mode" only: if you mod them to put them in "GT mode", you cancel the warranty. I didn't tested the TMX yet, so I can't give you advices about it. Sorry. But I'm sure it hasn't the clutch pedal. However it isn't a big deal if you play Formula 1 games and drive sequential transmission cars.

[@lucabuzz2678]

viperconcept Of course having a cluctch pedal is really nice, the thing is , I’m mostly driving (in games) semi-auto or sequential gearbox cars, so that’s not really a problem. As for “F1 mode or gt mode , that’s not a problem, I find both of them entertaining and easy to use.(I tested some, not sure of the model, though) I think I’ll go with the tmx, as it’s a little cheaper. Let’s see what Black Friday has to offer. :)

[@Szarmi93]

i wonder how it's compare to old logitech g27 :)

[@viperconcept]

Basically the G27 and the G29 are the same steering wheels. The main differences are: -The design -The PS4 compatibility -The brake pedal which is stiffer on the G29. That's all. You can watch the video I made when I switched from my G29 to the T500. ;-)

[@Gabriel222M]

Logitech G27 have 2.3 Nm torque compared to G29 - 2.1 Nm and G25 - 2.5 Nm

[@Toutvids]

Couple things: The TH8A has an adjustment screw in the base to tighten the shifter. It can also be put into sequential mode, which works great as a rally style ebrake (the Fanatec can as well). During your test drives, you kept the RPMs higher while driving the Fanatec. You were bogging the gears quite a bit while driving the Thrustmaster. Not a good comparison. The pedals on Thrustmaster are adjustable as well, you simply move the pedal plates, not the whole arms. Overall, the Fanatec is a great small step up but not worth so much money in my opinion, unless you really like the aesthetics more.

[@solidshepard7812]

I just bearly touch my break before it is om full breaking, but uses the soft first bit of the break with no responce. Just check out your software for the pedals and play a little with the setting, and you can get a very soft break-pedal :)

You will see that your braking performance improves with the CSL Elites. Cheers!

Nice review, everyone always says Fanatec is topnotch but dont tell why. Now I'm jealous :D (Ehm... if Fanatec is reading here, I have a thrustmaster tmx pro and I'm sure i can do a review on your direct drive wheel when it is there.)

[@James-wf6hl]

Why does the music in the video sound like it's from Gran Turismo 5 Prologue?

[@WednesdayMan]

CSL elite has a Reverse placement that makes sense to real manual cars I've Driven before, since I keep seeing the Reverse on the left side and not the right. It's not a problem necessarily but this is just my experience with actual Manual Cars.

[@SebastienBrunier]

Another path would have been to test the TS-PC Racer + 599XX Evo Alcantara for 660€ (you keep your T500RS pedals and shifter) it would make you a formula wheel + 30cm Alcantara wheel for approx 200€ cheaper.

[@wesseldeman123]

with the TH8A shifter you can adjust the tension if you want it harder or softer.

[@milesonewheelwinter]

At risk of sounding rude it seems like quite a waste of money I had AT 500 and went directly to an accu force direct wheel , and has made a load of difference. I notice very very very little difference between the 2 wheels you are comparing even though I will agree the elite is a little more precise. I hope you enjoy it let me know when you go to direct drive :)

[@milesonewheelwinter]

And don't even get me started on those pedals

[@bublik11]

you deserve it mate. thanks for the review. have fun!

[@viperconcept]

thank you ^^

[@mrj3217]

Thank you for the vid , Ive been on the fence on my up grade and Fanatec csl elite bundle is the way I am going. My first ffb is a t150. Lol

[@p1ou]

I'm skeptical here... The main reason I would go from a T500RS to a CSL bundle would be the load-cell brake pedal, and yet no word about it here.

[@OcmeoXoHgPo3]

I think that U missed one of important point - noise level in the silence of each wheelbase and whole kits (w/ pedals and shifters) while driving. It was one of the general factor for me when I replaced my logitech with thrustmaster a few years ago.

[@c1_lise945]

I love the videos you make 😍😍😍😍😻😻

[@Revidr-yt3pi]

Awsome video, as always

[@CarlosPanades]

Hey man, nice review but you forgot to mention how easy is to change from H to sequential in the Fanatec shifter over the Thrustmaster shifter. In Fanatec you just need to switch a button and in TM you need to take out the cover and replace by another.

[@GraveUypo]

yeah it's a pretty stupid system. i've never used it as sequential thanks to that. too much of a hassle.

[@dustindarland4373]

Great vid bro, but that fanatec wheel base to me(I could be wrong) looked like the clubsport version not the csl. If I'm right there's not much of a comparison between those two wheels. My opinion I'm not hating or anything. Congrats on having high end quality racing equipment.

[@KingLich451]

as always, have fun with our new rig viper!

[@donreinbo304]

Nice vid bro, but you forgot to mention that for the Fanatec shifter it is way simpler to get into sequential mode than the Th8a. it's just a simple switch on the Fanatec shifter i believe whereas you have to mount the sequential plate over the th8a

[@pressstart1490]

Switching From Keyboard To Wheel?

[@michaelip1569]

I love the way you hold the handbrake XD

[@Herman8279]

I am grateful that I was able to switch from logitech g27 to full set fanatec csw 2.5, day and night.

[@ajv802]

In your next review can you compare the Fanatec with the Mad Cats SLEH-0005 PS wheel. This was the first steering wheel i ever bought and in my opinion still the best on the market.

[@zedzedski7382]

Brah, you missing so much not getting ClubSport V3. Could have kept that T500 and just get new pedals. I'm still rocking G29 wheel but I went with ClubSport V3 pedals and my god what a difference. IMHO, getting very good pedals is far more important than going from one Belt Driven wheel to another. My next upgrade will be Direct Drive wheel: either OSW or the upcoming Fanatec Drirect Drive wheel.
