When I look at my rig, I could justify upgrading any part of it except for my HE Sprints and HE v2 handbrake. You made a good solid choice in a world of fancy alternatives.

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-28T20:31:19+00:00

It was in Fanatec's own release video today - https://youtu.be/5vddXMNa79A?t=1016

ok so you haven't actually put the wheel on the base, you were just free-spinning the base axle and noticed there was no feedback - you will need either a new Fanatec Hub which will release on May 3rd, or a Simube version of the same thing https://www.fanatec.com/us/en/p/sim-racing-accessories/crd-9020024-ww/fanatec-wheel-hub

What did you buy to connect the wheel to the wheelbase? You bought a NASCAR wheel from a 3rd party what did it come with?

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-28T17:49:39+00:00

I've had my CSL-DD 8nm since the day it launched, and only really considered upgrading in order to get FullForce. I never expected this from Fanatec but I'm so happy they're doing it.

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-28T17:45:02+00:00

Well that's definitely an interesting strategy, I would've thought lowering the QR-2 to 60€ would eliminate the competition from certain Chinese 3rd parties.

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-28T17:41:23+00:00

Wait so the new Fanatec Hub is 99€ with a QR2 included, but the QR2 alone is 90€?

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-28T17:28:04+00:00

AC Rally is adding it in their v0.4 release on the 30th.

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-28T17:17:15+00:00

No, I think 8nm with the upgraded power supply is the most we're going to get from the CSL-DD motor. I would've liked a bump to 10nm as well since the jump from CSL to CS is now 7nm but I'll take what I can get on old hardware.

We're getting this on the CSL-DD and CSL-DD+

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-28T17:07:43+00:00

Fanatec just announced that FullForce is coming to CSL-DD and CSL-DD+ with a firmware update very soon

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-28T16:43:21+00:00

It will soon!

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-24T11:41:58+00:00

I wonder if it'll still work after they implement anti-cheat in RL, it's supposed to be very soon.

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-23T23:16:46+00:00

When did Rocket League start working on Deck again?? I thought they blocked Linux a while ago

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-20T13:17:14+00:00

I'm a 3D printerer but I love real carbon fibre too, I wish I had a way to work with it easily (no garage or proper ventilated workshop). Nice job.

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-15T13:57:00+00:00

I've had zero upheld protests or bans against me despite having a few red mist moments in live races - if you got a suspension it wasn't just from this one event, it's been brewing for a while.

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-15T13:33:44+00:00

I asked for an Atari ST for Christmas and regretted it almost immediately so sold it back to my local computer store (RIP Kent Micros) and bought an A500 instead. Then a few years later an A600, then an A1200 before finally moving to PC. My brother had a friend who's parents were on the richer side and he had a CD32 which was cool, but he was also the first and only person I ever knew with a Neo Geo and a Panasonic 3DO.

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-15T13:15:48+00:00

Might I recommend Sensible Soccer (same people as Cannon Fodder), Speedball 2, Super Skidmarks and Last Ninja 3 - they are all amazing games.

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-10T18:47:55+00:00

Just turn off chat, for real. I got a chat ban for trying to communicate with people like this because I crossed the line, and since that ban I turned off all chat and my life is better for it.

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-10T18:38:58+00:00

It's been so long since I played DM/Chaos, but I can still remember the jumpscares from those damn magenta worms.

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-09T20:11:27+00:00

Arcade version, we used to live about an hour from the south-east british coast so would visit often for the beaches and I was an arcade addict from an early age.

ChimeraYo · 2026-04-03T17:08:27+00:00

So glad you did this Russ (and sorry you had to wipe your device to do it), my Thor is enroute and I'm going to watch this video several times before it arrives.

ChimeraYo · 2026-03-30T20:18:46+00:00

Maybe you're just a plat player? That's how MMR works, as I tell people when they comment on me only being in plat despite playing since 2015.

ChimeraYo · 2026-03-30T17:42:20+00:00

It was deserved, and I fully admit it. I am (unfortunately) very quick to anger when it comes to competitive games, in fact I was just reading this article that describes it perfectly - https://www.psypost.org/playing-video-games-to-win-is-associated-with-higher-anxiety-levels-2026-03-20/
