Hardware

Two days ago we reported on the Derek Speare IRDDU project, showing a first video. This is a second video showing the software in action using a different template.

Sonac created a very straightforward video showing us how to detach the Fanatec CSR Elite Wheel from the base unit. Very simple, you need a 4mm allen key. As self explaining as it is, it might be interesting for some of us to see.

This is the second in the series of video reviewsof the new top-range ClubSport driving controls from Fanatec for PC and Playstation 3. Here we have an overview of base mounting, the PC driver properties and settings pages, and the options inside the wheel's tuning menu.

Here's McLaren777´s review of the Fanatec Clubsport Wheel platform, its two accompanying rims, and the improved version of the Clubsport Pedals (V2). Overall, he thought this Fanatec hardware was fantastic. It added a whole new sense of realism that I haven't experienced with other wheel/pedal setups. It's as much of an improvement over the G27 as the G27 is over the DFGT. The problem is, it's four times the price of the G27, and for that reason alone, he can't recommend this to anybody but the most dedicated sim racers.

Seahawks2fan created a video review of his general impressions of Fanatec's new version of the Clubsport pedals. In the video he shows us the differences between the original pedals and the new version.

ARC_Team is showing some new pictures of their new steering wheels that are used in their Training Center driving simulator. The first one is a XAP GP2, bought directly from the manufacturer and will not be retailed. They have modified and optimized the electronics to use the wheel on the three series that are being supported by ARC_Team. (GP2, GP3 and F.Renault Alps)

Designed from the beginning to be placed under your monitor/s, the 'Monsta' is a new concept in simulation displays. At last you can now have all the sim telemetry you need in a place you can see it, using you peripheral vision..... You don't have to take your eyes off the track any more!
