SimXperience AccuForce Pro Available

After a long time in development, the beautifully crafted SimXperience AccuForce Pro direct drive wheel is now available.  At the moment, the sales are only open to those who had expressed an interest in purchasing an Accuforce Pro wheel by listing themselves on the sign-up list during the development of the product. On January 21 2015 this product will become available for all to purchase.

The AccuForce Pro Wheel costs a surprisingly reasonable $1750 / €1446 / £1123 compared to some other direct drive wheels on the market.

The wheel operates under the SimXperience SimCommander Software, allowing a high degree of versatility and customization to suit the users needs and preferences. Apart from enabling you to control a host of settings, this software can also automatically generate profiles from the users in-game telemetry, making it very easy to set up. To get an idea of how versatile the software package is, check out the video at the following link.

While initially only the Pro version is available, SimXperince will also be launching the Momo and DIY versions in the near future. More details on that later.

  

The SimXperience AccuForce Pro is a professional racing simulation steering system. When combined with today’s best racing simulation games, the AccuForce Pro is as close as you can get to driving the real thing and is delivered in a convenient, ready to run, plug-n-play package.

The key to it’s incredible realism is our groundbreaking direct drive motor control system. We’ve engineered an integrated motor controller / PC interface as opposed to communicating between two different circuit boards as is common in the industry. This allows the AccuForce to provide lower latency, better response, and more accurate detail reproduction than competing direct drive systems. Combined with a motor that’s specifically designed for racing simulation, the AccuForce system provides the best possible balance of torque, response and most importantly, fidelity and linearity. The end result: a driving experience that’s second only to the real thing.

Controller & Base Unit Features

• Unparalleled Steering Feedback Quality & Realism
• Direct Drive System (Wheel connects directly to motor shaft, there are no belts to slip, wear or absorb critical detail)
• Powerful, Low Inertia Motor supports up to 13Nm of sustained torque depending on the user selected mode *
• Easily dial back the forces for safe use by friends and family
• User selectable modes (similar to those on a stereo) allow easy selection of linear performance, peak performance, soft performance, child mode, etc.
• Extreme efficiency (13Nm sustained torque at 100% stall for 30 minutes with 2°F temperature rise over ambient with 0% torque loss due to heat fade)
• Excellent balance of torque and torque resolution results in an extremely refined and realistic feel
• Torque peaks are removed by default to ensure a truly 1:1 linear experience (option to enable peaks is provided)

• Engineered for many years of reliable service in commercial environments. (Critical parts are stress tested for 300lb loads)
• Includes FREE Sim Commander SimVibe and Steering system tuning / analysis software suite
• Three force feedback (FFB) options: traditional raw game FFB, SimXperience / user optimized game FFB and completely user definable FFB
• Robust tuning capability via touchscreen or in game heads up display via included software
• Easily auto-optimize feedback for your driving style, driving line and a particular car/ track combination

• 3-Port USB hub on back of base unit enclosure
• Expansion ports for additional displays, buttons, pedals and rotary encoders

* – Measurement taken with digital torque wrench at motor stall. Manufacturer stated margin of error is +-5%. When designing mounting systems and evaluating safety concerns, please design for a 16Nm peak torque scenario.
