Amazing review. I love all the details you pointed out. Honestly, I'm a bit sad, I'm really a Sim Racer lover, it's my favorite genre to play. I can literally play those games all day everyday and still having fun. I really want to have a full experience, I never had a wheel before so I started searching for reviews to see a good one. I fell in love with Fanatec CSL Elite however... This cost way beyond I can pay. I live in Brazil and those things has unbelievably high prices. Sadly I will have to go for a G29.

Same here in Indonesia. However, you can keep an eye on used Fanatec base. As sim racing circle is quite small compared to, let say it other kind of gamers, you can have a bit of trust

Been waiting for a more recent & relevant review, so thanks for this. Any further elaboration on how different the FFB feels in comparison to the G29 (For both ACC & GT Sport)? Some people seem to think there's not much of an improvement if you're mainly playing GT Sport.
@AverageGameReviews3 жыл бұрын
There's a huge improvement on ACC - the whole game just feels more detailed. There is still improvement on Gt Sport, mainly in the smoothness, however it isn't as significant as ACC! Hope this helps

@juaneer2 ай бұрын
How does it compare to direct drive though? I saw one posted for sale in my area including a whole cockpit setup, but I didn't realize it's not a direct drive wheel until now.
@AverageGameReviews2 ай бұрын
In my opinion...the gap between gear driven and belt driven is much larger than between a good belt driven like the CSL elite and something like a DD pro/CSL DD. Yes, DD does offer noticeably more detail and more torque, but upgrading to a DD didn't totally transform my sim experience unlike upgrading to the CSL Elite did from a G29. DD is worthwile if you can afford it, but a CSL elite remains a very good option.

Hey, I’m back watching this video for the 4th time, I’ve got a pc and I’m getting into sim racing, I’m thinking of buying this wheel. Do you think it’s worth it with the time you’ve had with it so far?
@AverageGameReviews3 жыл бұрын
It's certainly worth it if your into sim racing from my experience so far! Being on PC is also great as you can access I-racing, R factor 2 ext which are arguably the best sims to be playing with a wheel like this! I assume you already have a G29 or similar? If you have any specific questions then let me know! :) (Thanks for the 4 views!) 😂

I have a Logitech G29 and a Fanatec CSL GT PRO and to be totally honest I don't know why I have more fun on the Logitech still it's weird. But do you all think pedals make a bigger difference then the actual base? Because for my CSL I only have the CSL pedals but thinking of upgrading to V3's
@AverageGameReviews2 жыл бұрын
Pedals make a much bigger difference in terms of raw pace. V3's will make you a bit faster and definitely more consistent! V3's also have vibration motors in the brake and throttle pedals for some extra immersion.

Do you experience any rattling or knocking sounds with your wheel base? I've heard from others that they get an extremely loud knocking noise from the belt when hitting rumble strips and the like in certain games.
@AverageGameReviews3 жыл бұрын
On the CSL? Yes, a little bit. I wouldn't call it 'extremely loud' though! If you turn off dampening then it can get quite loud but I would say it's still less noise than a G29 overall.
