Hello everybody, first of all I thank @Tommi for his detailed feedback on my statement.
I hope that we can solve problems in peace in the future without offending or treating each other inferior.
I will post here again 2 videos, which represent the same noise. Once in the desktop and once ingame.
My question is, if someone is able to test the same settings and tell me if he hears the same noise. Of course only on desktop and with the friction like on my movie, because ingame it is exactly the same noise while vibrations.
Do you know if the team have had any luck or further progress in recieving and testing out the various pcie extension cables that were spoke about a while back?
Are there schematics available how the on/off in the premium E-Stop works? Or can someone who got it take a look which pins are connected to it? I’m not paying $100 for a better on/off button.
One of the French resellers offered the E-Stop as an addon for the Pro. Priced at €99. I looked it up after realizing it’ll not be included with my Pro.
YEA! I have been waiting for (hopefully) your impressions of the Ultimate vs. Bodnar! Barry at simracinggarage.com just posted a review of the Pro this morning here in US. Sounds VERY encouraging! Sounds to me like Pro may be comparable to Bodnar in some ways for sim racers, depending on preferences, settings, etc. PS - Barry plans to do more vids with his preferred settings with the Pro for various sims, as a starting or comparison point for those who’d like his opinons/settings.
Well I got a couple of hours with the Ultimate last night, thoughts so far :
Whilst it’s hard to gauge exactly how much of a difference there is without side by side testing I feel that the latency is noticeably lower than my previous DD system, Sim Steering 2. And that’s a huge plus and worth the upgrade cost alone for me. The SC2 has an incredibly direct feel to it and now I have more time for Sim Racing again I’m really looking forward to getting back to some serious hot lapping with this thing. There’s some bold claims that my friend in Oz has made with regards to the couple of tenths he expects me to shave off my lap times … right now I’m thinking he probably wasn’t exaggerating
With regards to the rest of the settings it’s going to take a lot more time. There’s so much more to play with than with the Bodnar and with my limited running last night I’ve already seen just how much opportunity there is to create very different feeling wheel. What I’m really happy about is that the reconstruction filter at around 8 gives a more muted Bodnar-Esque rubbery feel. That won’t be to everybody’s taste and I’ve already started varying that filter, again dialing this in will take time.
The only negative I’ve stumbled across is the resonance issues reported by others which seem directly affected by the amount of friction filter applied. The motor is noisier in normal operation than the Bodnar but not loud and I can live with that. However the resonance that comes through when driving over curbs is not only an unpleasant sound but is felt through all of my wheels too. I’ve heard this is being looked into and should be fixable with the firmware, very much looking forward to that!
Sorry if I can’t give a more detailed review after one nights running but the added settings available whilst most welcome are a little overwhelming for a Bodnar owner! Can’t wait to get stuck in this week and start unlocking this beasts true potential though
