CSW base died having to use my G27

Leemstradamus · Mar 2, 2014

Ok, I'm a little down about my CSW BASE DYING today. I shipped it off per their instructions and it looks like I won't have it back for close to a month!

Now the really depressing thing is after you use the rims from fanatec the g27 feels, sounds, and looks like a toy!

This is going to be a long month.

Hey Saleem - do you switch rims a lot or could it be that your QR has some play that could stress the pins? I recently installed the lock-pin/bolt in my GT2 wheel mainly due to that concern.

I always have the bolt in place. It completely removes any play from the QR and therefore also gives better FFB into the wheel rim and it also iliminates the annoying QR rattle.

Sometimes the bolt comes loose and i can immediately feel it right away.

I guess I'll have to start using the pin then. So annoying that equipment that cost this much is this fragile.

It's not built like a bus Saleem!

I know what you mean man, that's why I'm so interested in the AccuForce. Since I installed the lock-pin, my wheel is a bit quieter. I used to hear the occasional tick or creaking noise.

Very true but boy getting what you paid for, one would think it would be a lot more robust than it's current state.

I can't wait for the day I have the Accuforce system but alas my wallet dems it to be far later rather than sooner. But I may be able to whine enough to get those HPP pedals by my birthday!

I agree, especially where the motors are concerned. HPP pedals sound nice.

STILL nothing new about the accuforce Dean?

Leemstradamus · Jun 27, 2014

@Tim Meuris nothing new from what I could find.

Tim Meuris · Jun 27, 2014

yup neither did I
it's been quite for a while now at the Simxperiencefront

HoiHman · Jun 27, 2014

I had contact with Berney Villers Jr (president of simexperience) today.

He's very busy with developing simcommander 4.

The accuforce wheel will use simcommander 4 to drive it.
Besides the accuforce wheel simcommander 4 will also drive :
- buttkickers (simvibe)
- Dashboards
- GS4 seats
- Simexperience motion

So besides the hardware development of the wheel there is also a very ambitious software development.

This takes a lot of time

Tim Meuris · Jun 27, 2014

so the wheel may be ready but useless for now cause the software for it to drive it ain't out yet?

thnx anyway henk

SimCommander 3 already controls all of that except the Accuforce wheel so its not like they're building SimCommander 4 to do these things from scratch.

Simcommander 4 will also add new outputs and probably a lot of bug fixes.
It's simply a whole new version

It's not as simple as adding support of the accuforce wheel and just call it simcommander 4
