The v2 F64 has been out of stock everywhere - I’ve looked for months. With the v3 announced, I don’t think they’ll make another batch of v2’s at this point, so I don’t expect to see them at lower prices (unless used ones)
Must be fresh from SimExpo as it’s not on their web site yet.
Magnetic connection for USB is ingenious, why nobody came up with that idea before leaving us to deal with ripped out of socket flipping around usb cable in case of unexpected wheel spin.
Lol, sounds dramatic but won’t happen if the USB is near the wheel. And a lot of wheels use active USB ports which you place wherever you want. I know you have much more experience. Is it possible a wheel goes crazy because of loosing connection (wireless)?
I had the problem once coming from iRacing itself. My car got stuck in the wall and the wheel started spinning.
Most of the cases will be related to a stuck signal from the sim I guess.
I sometimes have a loss of wireless TV signal. As I understand you this is no issue here. Only a major crash in game will make trouble. I won’t imagine going through some crashes I had in rally with 100% feedback set for crash… would be a traumatic
Yes I’m still very happy with it, I think its hard to beat at its price point. My only niggle is the slight shaft play in the 2 centre encoders, not really evident in game use though. See here at 8m 5s - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGxEcm5fiME
I just bolted the simucube QR straight onto the included spacer because I needed the extra reach, however the holes do line up so I imagine you could remove the faceplate and bolt the QR on directly.
Still getting used to it tbh. So far it looks, feels and handles just as expected. A top notch product for a fair price. Lots of modifications possible, Jakub offers a first class service to his customers.
