![]() Before I say anything else, please note that a lot of people have no problem with the comfort and find it very comfortable. The comfort is definitely where this seat lacks the most and it would be the main reason I would switch to something else. This does take away from the immersion, especially when using it with a VR, as you are constantly reminded that there's a pole holding up the wheel in between your legs. While the cockpit is more than usable, I often find my leg rubbing against it or slightly touching it when using my right foot to both brake and accelerate. I figured I had quite skinny legs so it shouldn’t be a terrible deal but I was a little wrong. Although I do have a bunch of monitors and other stuff getting in the way so without the shifter, monitor stands, and all that it should be easier.īefore purchasing this cockpit, I had read about several people complaining about the pole that passes in between your legs to hold up the wheel. That being said, my father who is a lot older, a tad taller, and a lot heavier always has significant trouble getting both in and out. I for the most part have no real difficulty getting in and out. I didn't realize it from the pictures when I bought it and I've noticed a lot of people complaining about how low it is as well. I don’t think many people realize how low to the ground this thing actually is. And for you right-hand drive people, yes, the shifter can be mounted on either the left or right side of the seat. The wheel and the shifter can both have their height adjusted and the wheel can be tilted forward and backward and can be brought closer or away from you quite easily. Note, the seat itself does not move up or down nor do the pedals. There are various rubber knobs around the cockpit which allow you to adjust various parts up and downside to side like a roller coaster. Furthermore, it can easily slide back and forth for quick adjustments. The seat can also recline all the way forward if you are in a tight room and need to move your setup out of the way when not in use. The seat can recline all the way back, so if you have ever wanted to go stargazing in your sim racing setup, this one is perfect for you. Every time I have guests over, there has been no problem adjusting the seat to fit their needs. And from what I’ve experienced, I would agree. Only one of these arms comes with the OpenWheeler but you can buy another one from their website for around $30.įrom what I’ve heard, this is one of the most adjustable cockpits in the market. The shifter arm came with the cockpit and it too does a fantastic job at maintaining my shifter in place. I can’t confirm that however since I have never tried it out. With that being said, I’ve heard some people have had issues with heavier components and higher-end gear. ![]() The same for the pedals, they are firmly fixed on the pedal mount and they have never given me any type of issue. My wheel, which is the G29, is firmly placed in place and I have never had to worry about it moving around when racing. But that’s not to say you can’t get started and have a great time with one of the cheaper wheels that come in their bundles.Moving on to the sturdiness of the cockpit itself, this was an extremely important aspect for me, and thankfully, the cockpit does a great job here. ![]() Perfect for EA Sports F1 23, they have a number of Formula style wheels such as the F1 Esports V2, and the slightly more expensive but feature-rich Clubsport Steering Wheel Formula V2.5, which is perfect for controlling the many in-car parameters in F1 23 while at full pace. They provide a very similar Force Feedback experience to that of the Fanatec wheelbases, but MOZA Racing just doesn’t have the same level of depth in their complete ecosystem, and their pedals aren’t particularly inspiring.įanatec offers a huge range of Sim Racing Wheels, which can be used with the CSL DD and GT DD Pro via their quick-release system which allows you to change your wheel with the style of car you’re driving very easily. The best alternatives to the Fanatec CSL DD and GT DD Pro from other brands, are the MOZA Racing R5 and R9. While 5 Nm might leave you wanting to upgrade again if you start getting serious, 8 Nm should be plenty of power to keep you satisfied for a long time. The CSL DD and PlayStation-compatible GT DD Pro provide 5 Nm of peak torque, or 8Nm with the addition of the Boost Pack 180. Fanatec still has what I believe is the most complete package when it comes to “entry-level” direct drive wheelbases.
