    So what's left us most impressed in 2023? Let's take a look!

      It should've been a great year for Fanatec, finally releasing 2 of the 3 products they've been hyping for years which seemed to be vaporware, plus a new wheelbase. But they've completely screwed up every aspect of online ordering, shipping, customer service, and actually sending products after taking peoples money. It's really bizarre how mismanaged they are now.

      @@LeoDavidson I don't fully agree with you. Yes, the shipping has been annoying and wrong from Fanatec side (Even tho some part was also UPS, Fanatec could've managed better), yet this has been an amazing year for Fanatec. They sold the most products, only during BF they sold about 75k orders, and they are currently moving into their new HQ, and also hiring more people. I truly believe they are working on improvement big time. It's very logical that you pay for something right away when your order, this happens on many websites even on amazon, yet they are a much bigger company so they have everything right even on BF, Fanatec on the other side received so many more orders than expected, which they all explained in the yearly meeting (There have been some documents going around about this)
      I personally ordered the DD2, V2 pedals and F1 LE wheel, and although it took about 4 weeks to arrive, I did get an email when I contact them within 48h. A big issue is that people have been spamming fanatec with new emails (if they work with a similar program as our company, it would make a new case every email), which would increase workload for no reason, for the probably small customer team that they currently have.
      Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they haven't made any mistakes, they defenetly did, but people need to have some patieciene too, before ordering there were already disclaimers that orders could take quite a bit longer than usual.
      Beside that I've heard it's hasn't been flawless with Moza either, so not only fanatec has this issue.

      I emailed them 4 times in early October and still don't have a reply. So I won't be buying the PlayStation DD pro. I also emailed Moza and had a quick reply, but unfortunately they just said to keep checking their website. I wanted to know when a PlayStation compatible direct drive was coming out and roughly how many NM it would be. Looks like I will be sticking with my cheap Logitech system for now.

I was so torn on my pedal upgrade and your review of the VRS pedals sold me, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks for all the effort, time and work you put into this.

    Mr boosted media man, thanks for the content. Starting out the year I was in a tough place but also decided to start sim racing. After trying out the Logitech wheel, I fell in love with the hobby and found myself watching your videos throughout the year and ended up making more than a dozen upgrades later with your content as main guidance. Went deeper into your content and watched the video where you went deep and shared your personal struggles. I think that also helped me become more of a man more so than anything this year. Even though we're just enjoying our fun little hobby, thanks for bridging a lot of people through their own paths of enjoying something and themselves a little more.

    Biggest game changer for me was the P1000 Pedals with the haptic motors, They absolutely made me faster and more consistent due to the feedback that is going on with the brakes(ABS and wheel lock) and the cue to change gears (throttle feedback). They are are also great quality and precise. My second best purchase would be the HF8 Vibrating seat cover, Its a great bit of fun and I use it often as its much quieter and clearer then a buttkicker but I don't think I'd replace it if it broke. A Simagic wheel base is definitely on my radar, and I'm keen to see some in-depth info on the new simagic handbrake.

    I don't know if this subject has been addressed or not, I'm trying to binge watch as many videos as I can. I put this here just because it's a recent video. On your pedal reviews, I have yet to see you touch on a specific adjustment. I'll try to explain the best I can. You talk about springs, elastomers, preload and such. But I see there is an adjustment with the arm that connects the pedal itself to the load sensor, hall effect sensor or potentiometer. The arm can be attached to 2 or 3 holes on the pedal arm changing the angle of rod. Have you made changes to this in the past and if so can you link the video. I'm guessing changing it changes the ratio that the sensor sees versus the actual pedal arm. I hope this is explained well, pictures would have made it much easier. Actually I have found one of your videos that gave me the answer I was looking for. It was the review of the Asetek Invicta Hydraulic Sim Racing Pedals.

    I had a feeling asetek would take it for wheelbase. My Tony Kanaan wheelbase is so amazing. I really want to know what the forte and invicta feel like, but thankfully I don’t feel like I am missing out on much of anything with the one I have!

      As for the Logitech disappointment- I would have 100% gone with that if they had simply brought out a shifter. At th time I only had a ps5 and it was a great looking option. I have since bought a pc. I really miss playing gt7 but I don’t regret going with asetek.

    To be honest I'm quite intrigued by the conspit cpp lite pedals. I saw the video on DaveCam's channel and they look appealing from a looks, features, and price standpoint. Though being honest I don't really care about the built in launch control feature, it's not something I see myself using very often.

    Really wish you hadn't given the BSB as your innovative product of the year! Increasingly leaning towards this as my next headset, still on a Rift CV1, as everything else coming out is heavier than what I have now. Also been eyeing up my first DD wheelbase (Asestek la prima current front runner plus the Cube Controls entry formula rim). 2024 could be an expensive year 😅

    Hey great videos. I would like to see you review, believe it or not, the next level racing wheel stand 2.0. I think a few of us would be able to gauge what you look for in a rig as far as stability level for the cost. I know wheel stands isn’t your thing but I’m wondering how you would rate this

    Hey Will, love your videos, I've bought all my sim gear after watching your reviews of it! I've been waiting for my Fanatec CS DD+ since October now and I'm considering cancelling the order, is the Asetek Invictus wheelbase that much better than the CS DD+ (ignoring the price difference)? Is it worth cancelling the Fanatec and going Asetek? I do already own the Invictus pedals which I love. Thanks

    Pedals i think p2000 should be considered up there because only simcube pedals offer haptic feedback in the pedals and for 3 or 4 times less the price you can get sim magic and have this innovative tech with very good pedals aswell

    You can use sim hub with PS5. But you do need a pc. I have pc in another room, it gets information from ps5 via wifi. Then the information for the bass shaker is sent via Bluetooth (because pc in other room) to a Bluetooth receiver that plugs into a plate amp that powers bass shaker. Way better than trying to use the audio out.

    yeah, i have the GPro myself and it is a really awesome wheel and pedals if you setup them perfectly (ie 90 sensibility on the brake before ajusting the kg) but the only thing that sucks outside of NO Pro shifter and handbrake...(had to go with moza for those) is ; there's no F'n support at all for the awesomeness of Trueforce at all but the 3 biggest games on PC. the feeling is there 100% in ACC and dirt rally 2 or iracing. Why other games wont use it is my biggest frustrating thing about the wheel. and i can't wait to see their GT3 wheel and shifter if they ever release it,i hope so!

    Feedback suggestion: Hey you guys have awesome editing, and I think a great improvement would be to pop up the names on screen when said
    I’m suggesting that because I hopped around the video, and when he said the names (after probably saying them multiple times), I couldn’t 100% make it out. But if they were in text on screen I would be able to read it and know exactly what items he’s talking about (since they have names like letters and numbers)
    Cheers

    Or go for asetek invicta or heusinkveld pedals instead?

    What PC would you recommend for SIM racing?

    One thing I found a bit weird is this quote "..brilliant for simracing where you're moving around a lot....", I'm not disagreeing with the smaller form factor being great but simracing is probably the thing in VR where you move around the least. Flight sims (at least combat flight sims) have you looking around a lot and checking your six, room-scale you literally move your entire body.
    In simracing you mostly look straight ahead, occasionally you glance at the mirrors but I wouldn't say that's moving around a lot, relatively speaking for VR.

      @@kajrosenqvist9165 a motion rig and VR combo is really fucking niche and most people using motion rigs only use slight movement instead of dialling it to 100%.
      That said, even if you *do* use a motion rig you'll still keep your head largely still and supported by the headrest.
      It doesn't even slightly compare with a dogfight in IL-2 or DCS or the movement you do in more involved roomscale.
