#esportsim #f1 #simracing - Hry
Impressive video, a huge thank you to Will and his team.
Just a few points to clarify and reassure you:
- The rear plastic cover serves purely as a protective layer. The wheel's quick-release mechanism is directly connected to an internal aluminum frame, which, in turn, connects to the front carbon fiber plate. This setup ensures maximum rigidity, with the cover serving a purely cosmetic purpose.
- The compatibility of the wheel with both Fanatec and Thrustmaster bases extends to all games on both PS and Xbox platforms. In the case of the Fanatec version, the integration involves a mechanical and electronic fusion with a Fanatec Universal Hub V2. Conversely, with the Thrustmaster version, the wheel communicates directly with the motor base.
The inclusion of keyboard emulation features serves as an enhancement, expanding the wheel's functionality and surpassing console limitations regarding the number of functions accessible in games.
- The Wi-Fi is solely utilized for receiving telemetry data from the consoles and updating the wheel's software. On PC, all telemetry data is transmitted through the USB cable.
Once more, a huge thank you to Will and the entire Boosted media team for dedicating time to review our product. Your feedback holds immense value for us and is deeply appreciated.
Way too expensive.. Inflation at its finest.
There’s nothing about this wheel that justifies it being $15-2000+ depending on what paddles and QR you get…this is just wrong. Stop scalping customers for every cent they have and charge reasonable prices. Leox, simagic, moza, and so many others actually offer carbon fiber wheels with screens for reasonable prices. Stop ripping people off
@@eddiea677it’s not inflation. I’ve followed them since they started years ago and they had these insane prices since day 1. It’s the sim world and companies being able to ridiculously overcharge customers for products because they still buy them since it’s a rich man’s hobby at the end of the day. It’s pretty dumb but it’s the sim world. Simagic, moza, and asetek are swinging back though with affordable products with the exact same, if not better, build quality of these companies ripping people off.
So hopefully prices as a whole across the industry come down as people continue to choose viable, fairly priced options. Or hopefully companies like this who try to overcharge for their products (this is already happening to fanatec but that’s also cause they are also having shipping issues that’s really pissing people off) go out of business if they try to stick to their insane pricing models. Either way, over time, we the customer win.
@@RaceZeus I was happy to pay it to not have a mass produced same as everyone wheel. For some the wide compatibility is worth a lot too.
@@ChrisSuperTube greatminds, i loved the width and the fact its not your mamas wheel lol
"Dead skin cells, dirt, and debris" the sim racing version of "scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7" 😛
I just do respect that you mention no-gos like flex when necessary. Your integrity is with the customer, not the seller. Thanks for that, Will!!
Its a complete disaster that you cannot reach any button with your thumb unless you roll your hand around! Its definitely a killer for me !
I have the FSW series 2 and damn am I impressed with this wheel every time I use it. It feels like a real F1 wheel and the customization for the dash is adding to that immersive feeling.
thats my same feeling
Bavarian simtec has a crazy wheel as well
Absolutely love your reviews, the details and information is top notch! keep up the good work mate
Yes!❤ Finally Carlo and Esportsim gets this very deserved attention🏎💪
it looks like some kind of DIY project
F1 wheels are technically DIY by each team themselves.
Have the FSW Series 2, & i am very happy about it! Superb product, & great customer service 👍👍
Thanks for the review Will! :)
What’s different about the version 2?
Hi Boostemedia! It's always a pleasure to see your in-depth and passionate reviews. I'm simdriver and I'm writing from Italy where this product is manufactured and I'm very proud. The company that produces it is also my client and I have visited where it is made more than once. It's really fantastic!
Compared to the first version, this V3 is a big step forward, especially in terms of materials and functionality. I can't imagine other versions and updates, it's already practically perfect.
They are expensive and niche products, it is clear, also because which steering wheels on the current market offer the telemetry included with Simhub? Setup is also a pain but once you figure it all out, it's great to use. In my opinion there is still work to be done on the steering wheel power supply, too many cables required and electrical absorption. A greeting! 😁♥
Hâte de voir la vidéo de mon volant (j attend les sous-titres), je l’ai depuis quelque mois et j’en suis très content 😀
I just bought 3 48" 4k OLED LG Monitors (G-Sync) - This is going to be game changing for my sim rig. I cant wait, I have waited a very long time and finally getting to the end game setup. Been a long time working towards this started out on a single 27, moved to single 32 and then triple 32 and now triple 48's
Just got the wheel was heavily discounted in the US. Amazing wheel. Shifters are the best in business. Cube controls is junk compared to this. Screen is amazing and overal feels great to use. Wheel felt still light to be honest, which is positive, expected heavier based on reviews.
Did you get it on Trak Racers website?
Super as always 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good Video Will but I still waiting on Qubic 4DOF System Part 2 :)
Enjoy mine and their support is awesome. Not for everybody though. So many options from a very solid built item. Not watched video yet - dinner first. Edit: Price is fine if this is what you are looking for. Might still get a GSI for all the RGB! Trackracer dropped the ball with shipping twice. Eventually sent it via regular post and the box was literally dropped at the door full of dings & tears. Wheel was fine luckily.
Man that is a tough price tag to swallow haha. Quality looks amazing tho
How is the telemetri update on the screen over wifi on pc?
Ohe just esportsim’s comment and that answers my question.
Building my rig for VR but I’m still getting the fancy wheel with a screen lmao
Was thinking it looked a lot like the SF1000 before you mentioned it
Their FSW Series 1 is actually a SF90/SF1000 Replica :)
I know you probably have a lot of other video ideas, but I would love to see a comparison video looking at the new Clubsport DD+ and the Simucube 2 Pro.
We did that months ago. Will revisit once Fullforce is working on a few games.
@@boostedmedia do you have a link to the via that specifically compares the two side by side?
When we getting more videos on the qubic systems rig u built?
Looks nice. Price ain't so bad. Just wasted on a vr racer. I aint got space for non vr lol.
Hey Will,
Can you do a video on the smaller / niche brands around these days? Some cool stuff out there but finding out of new or small brands relies on people like you.
Hey mate. It's up to those small brands to reach out to Will and have agreement on review. I remember that back in the day I was talking with him about review of my wheel and he was happy to do so. Shipping costs and additional fees were absolutely killing me though (Im in EU, he is in Australia)
@RossoSimRacing Classic long distance chicken & egg problem. Will is one of the few in Oz and we are a bit removed from everything in Europe so need to sponge off his reach. I'll keep an eye out for your channel/wheels. Thanks for reaching out.
@@ChrisSuperTube What I was trying to say is that it is not up to Will to arrange review. It's up to wheel makers to reach out to him :)
@RossoSimRacing Understood but on the flip side Will reviews things that viewers request (by enough people to make it worthwhile), and we can't request what we don't know of. Was asking him for more of a "state of the sim world" than full-on reviews.
That cable on my leg would kill me
In this price range I would go with Bavarian Simtec or the new Ascher McLaren Ultimate
Both of which are way more expensive.
@@ty194 Esports-Wheel 1299 EXC. Vat
Bavarian 1299 inc. Vat
Ascher 1499 inc. Vat
🤷♂️
@@chrisracing81 lol
@@ty194 ?
@@chrisracing81 Sorry that was just a test message. For some reason my responses are being deleted, but I'll try again.
The Fanatec option is $400 (USD) more, compared to Thrustmaster at $54.
As always, it's so confusing if I can just put my own QR2 wheelside on the back of the wheel if I don't need Xbox and PS compatibility, fully realizing I'll need USB to power the wheel.
Hi Bob, if you need to use the wheel with a Fanatec base on pc you need the Podium hub with QR1 or QR2
The price is very similar to the BMW wheel from Fanatec
Have watched tons of your videos, love them, very helpful, but, I have one HUGE problem and have been looking everywhere for an answer. I have the GT7 DD Pro 8Nm setup, my first Fanatec wheel and base. I am use to having a normal analog joystick like on my PS controllers and previous wheels so I can look left and right slightly, little more, or all the way. Now all I have is a click stick, it goes 100% left or right, making driving cockpit view very non-safe, especially GT7 because the cockpit view is so horrible. It is very important to see the cars coming from behind, how fast and to which side and distance. Can't do that with the GT7 wheel, and from what I am seeing no Fanatec wheel does this? Am I wrong? Can you please direct me to a Fanatec wheel setup so I can have a joystick type analog stick to look left and right properly. GT style wheel not F1 style. Thank you very much for your time!
Good video
watched the whole thing in 14 seconds? 😅
@@boostedmedia yes
The wheel looks cool, but there is no way I can reach that Overtake button 😅
"Hello guys, Wheel here" 😅
Can I use the PC version also on a DD1 Fanatec, or must I by the more expensive fanatec version
You can use the pc 6x70mm version and add a simple fanatec podium hub
@@CarloDivita, thank you. So the QR1 Wheel-Side from Fanatec should be sufficient.
@@John_Skippy_Uitjens you need the podium hub with the qr1. You need the fanatec hub
So what if I only use my fanatec wheel on pc? Can I just connect a podium hub to the model you’re reviewing?
Yes you can
The wheel is $2000+ depending on what you get with it in terms of paddles and QR and shipping…especially if it has flex in the wheel…no lit buttons…and plastic housing on the back…this is just ridiculous. It’s nonsense. It doesn’t cost them even 25% of that price in materials/man hours to make this wheel and yet they have the gall charge 10x+ what it costs them to make. It’s a rip off. I’m so sick of these companies trying to overcharge us customers for products in the sim world just because they can get away with it.
I’ll take a Moza FSR wheel or Simagic FX Pro over this any day for 1/3 the price. I’m not going to pay an extra $1200+ for a few extra screen customization options that the Moza and Simagic don’t have. That’s literally the only difference between this and those wheels…is customizing a screen worth $1200 to you? Then go ahead and get this.
If you still want an all carbon fiber wheel with real life dashboards on the screen, go with the Simagic FX Pro instead.
If you just want an all carbon fiber wheel and don’t care about real life dash boards, go with Moza FSR.
The difference is literally screen customization/software, which is not worth an extra $1200 compared to these other wheels. Esportsim just another company trying to rip sim racing customers off with their prices. Be smart with your $$$ people!!! There’s so many better options than this out there.
The options you listed are different, not better. I like the option to choose something different and I appreciate the tech in this wheel, even if it is a bit flawed here & there. Pay a $1000 for a Moza anything? Never gonna happen. The wheel costs AU1800 at the moment so only a few 100 more than some and cheaper than many.
Dude went on a rant for nothing. The wheel feels amazing and does so much more than other wheels in the same price range. It has a great built quality and feels incredible to drive.
@@kevenmasse6438 His rant went over your head. Sim racing companies overcharge, it’s undeniable. They’ve been getting away with it because the hobby used to be very niche but that is no longer the case. The materials used for this wheel are worth far far less than the price of the wheel so why does it have to be so expensive? Wheels are more expensive than high end bases and pedals, how is that possible? The sim racing market needs to adjust, most consumers are regular people looking for quality at a good price. That’s why Logitech, Thrustmaster and Fanatec still have the lion’s share of the market.
I have a CSL dd pro does this wheel work with that setup?
Yes I have the GT DD Pro it works amazing
Do you have any info with moza compatability
Hi, yes it is compatible with Moza
I own this wheel and I love it I play with it on PS5
looks like an Alpine wheel
you should do a review on a diy wheel kit.
I have v2 but, it is not really rigid. Plasticky sound when turning a steering wheel like Fanatec at ffb over 8... definately over10Nm. Less likely below 8Nm.
Comparing to my Grid Engineering P91q, Grid is a stone and no noise at all.
2nd of all, it is my problem but, only this wheel has a simhub connection issue and I had to find a right usb port but, it disconnecting my wheel often only in simhub not from pc usb setting and its own software.
However, I like it because of Ferrari.
Man, that’s a real shame about the fixed cable. I love the look of this wheel, it’s very close to the Mercedes F1 wheel, but the fixed cable is a killer at this price. For over 1000 euro for the wheel alone, I expect everything to be perfect
yup this is definitely the wheel for me!
$1,290
yup this is definitely NOT the wheel for me!
You lost me at 1,169... 😁
For the love of all that is holy give that keyboard a dust! It’s making me itch sitting here 😅
LOL. The whole rig needs a good clean actually.
Im not sure if real racing isn't cheaper than this.
seems like IT. At least in Stock Road Car series
It's not
Fanatec sucks, €240 extra to get less features. Break away from their eco system PC players
I will bro i swear i will 😭😭😭
I'm still on my logitech, so... yeah, I still have time not to get a fanatec
I miss steering wheels that were actually wheels.
I have a formula wheel, and i have a round wheel. I use the round wheel 9 out of 10 times. I just really dont see the point of the formula wheel unless you're actually in a formula seating position and need the space.
Because it is better for racing, that's why they make more formula wheels.
one thing I dont like.. I have to pay for simhub dashboard. that is weird
Another day another rim thats not from Logitech 😢
£1000 should work on a real F1 car for that money.
极具性价比的模拟赛车游戏外设，看这里
I Long since came to the conclusion that wheels with screens are not worth. Built a bunch of wheels my self diy and tested others after making/testing 1s with a screen it was clear the screen was pointless they are always too low in you vision to be useful then the additional cost. Having a separate screen with rpm/flag lights higher up so its in your periphery was way more functional. Then you can use cheaper wheels and you always have that screen and led functions regardless. At this point we are way past the point of over engineered price to performance ratio.
Not for my f1 seating position. This wheel is perfect
So what is up with Quest 3 review?
I never said I was doing a quest 3 review. There are plenty of others on YT :)
@@boostedmedia Well, if two are doing the same thing, its not the same thing:)
I am looking forward to your review, as I like how you review stuff and I find a lot of useful little details in those reviews, that I wouldn't find anywhere else. Sure, there is a lot of reviews of Quest 3 out there, but majority of those are quick, short and lacking sense for detail.
way to big.
Oh snap another formula wheel. Yawn.
Heavy Lifting = This Review Video… Bravo team.🫡
The sharp carbon shifter bit hit home for me, I have a very nice after market kit that feels the same way. Wondering if you’re lightly bleeding (or not) during a race is annoying, lol. But this wheel is a brilliant offering overall. Wish the config I need was in my price range.
The price is very similar to the BMW wheel from Fanatec
And it does a ton more than what the fanatec one is doing.
