SimXperience Accuforce wheel

[mclarenf1papa]

I'm planning on getting the SimXperience Accuforce wheel whenever it comes out (as long it's in the ~$800 range) so I was wondering if Simvibe and sim commander will be compatible with AC..... I'm assuming they will be.

IIRC, the team at Sim Experience have stated that the target retail price is just under $2000 USD. I think that info came from the iRacing forum.

ISR just interviewed them about this new wheel:

price point: under $2000 (somewhere between $1000 - $2000 was all that was said, probably closer to 2)
release date: 2014 (no sooner than Q3)

I'm interested down the line but I know its going to get pricey adding extra rims.

I hope they don't trick us by releasing a
wheelbase which is 'reasonably' priced
and then releasing expensive rims

True but, at least one can do it in upgrade steps. It'll be interesting to see what kind of wheel configuration they offer at the start.

It'd be nice if they'd offer a good quality option and a very high quality option with all the bells and whistles. That way, people can decide what fits their budget while staying within the product line. Perhaps they could join forces with an existing wheel maker to offer multiple styles/versions to round out the catalog.

That and stick a standard bolt pattern on it; people are going to want to use genuine wheels on it, may as well accomodate it easily.

Guys, I have created you another topic as you had taken over the 0.7 thread and things were getting hard to follow.

 

[Tim Meuris]

oops, sorry

I was just talking about this wheel with someone who was at the irace4life seminar this weekend. Supposedly, everyone who touches this wheel says it's the greatest thing ever, blessed by Jesus, etc. I'd buy one, but I fear that such a purchase would be quickly followed by divorce papers.

@Simon Roberts, I was going to ask for this. I looked up a little while ago and forgot it was in that thread lol.

I agree, going to have to get the seat mover first then wait for the aftershock to pass from the wife. I see new jewellery in my wife's horizon! lol

ah any more info bout it? price, release date...

Unfortunately, not much more info-nothing definite to do with price or release. He did say the wheel can put out 30 newton-meters of force, or roughly twice that of a real-life IndyCar...

He also said the price will probably be in the ECCI range, but that's what we're all expecting, anyway.

Same here. Some people say that sim racing is a way to race cheaply...but there is no such thing as cheap racing

 

[RaceNut]

Sometime in July or later, they said not before Q3.

oops, sorry - some driver swerved in before me.

well such compare to realife example are always a bit strange.. because in realife the force is produced by mechanical physical connections... because there isn't a limit for the force...

for example is it quite as strong as a indycar wheel in a straight line.. or quite as strong when it hits the wall with over 340kmh


and for an answer for the bodnar wheel why would someone want such forces... first to recreate forces as close as possible to reallife no matter which car is simulated...
and second.. for the headroom... so you can run high forces and still have enough headroom for bumps and such stuff without clipping..


but 30nm doesn't sound bad ,,,

I am also highly interested how the accuforce wheel will turn out...
