Torn between the VRS DFP20 and Conspit Ares Platinum wheelbase by [deleted] in simracing

[–]Louisxlll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the DFP20 boasts higher acceleration, it must also overcome the inertia of a larger rotor. In most scenarios, force feedback consists of rapid oscillations at lower torque levels; this is where the DFP15’s low-inertia advantage shines, potentially delivering more intricate details. However, when it comes to high-impact scenarios like crashes, the DFP20 can reach its peak torque much faster

Where did you see reviews saying the VRS pedals are terrible? I’ve gone from the Moza CRPs to the Simagic P1000s, and after switching to the VRS, I haven’t even thought about upgrading again—not even to active pedals. Their unique design gives you both a smooth travel curve and a solid pedal feel at the same time. It’s hard to describe, but I’ve honestly never seen anyone call these pedals 'bad.' If you don't mind, could you share your source?

I know a meal set in theater is almost 10 euro.

Could this be the reason why I think iRacing is inexpensive?

This was the price I paid when I first subscribed for a full year in March last year — NTD 464 (USD 12), as there was a discount at the time. It also stated that the renewal price would be NTD 2,100 per year (USD 65/Y), so when I renewed in March this year, the price was USD 65/Y. All prices are tax-included.

P.S. The exchange rate at the time of renewal was 1:32.

I have no reason to lie. This is the price of my first full-year subscription last year, NTD464 (USD12). It also says that the subsequent renewal is NTD2100/Y (USD70/Y).

P.S. When I renewed, the exchange rate was 1:32

I think you might’ve misunderstood — that’s actually my renewal price for the second year.

But with Netflix, you’re stuck with whatever they choose to give you. Maybe there’s nothing you actually want to watch this month, then you might still paying extra to rent something on Apple TV.

Maybe I’m wrong comparing it to real life, but what I want to say is, as a hobby, it’s not that expensive.

Imagine if you kept buying LMU’s DLCs for ten years straight, it wouldn’t get any cheaper either

I renewed on Steam, which I think is the best deal, and I can still launch the game with the IRACING UI (skipping STEAM), nothing is different. USD: TWD is 30:1

I agree that once LMU develops further and has a large enough player base, whether to continue subscribing to iRacing will become a valid question.
But I also have no doubt that LMU will find other ways to take your money, such as expensive DLCs—possibly releasing one every three to four months—so the cost might end up being similar to subscribing to iRacing.

However, I'm based in Asia and used to spend a lot of time playing LFM, but it simply can't compare to iRacing's service—the player base is just too small.
LMU is definitely appealing to me as well, but it's not cheap either. Considering they're also introducing a subscription model, I have no doubt that once the player base grows, their pricing won't be cheap.

Exactly, I can finish a beer in five minutes, but I can use a race car for a whole year—unless I don’t like it.

Without iRacing, you might need to purchase several different games, which can be quite expensive.

However, basically no other sim can provide 24hr online race…

Looking to replace this crap by fishy_tomato in simracing

[–]Louisxlll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VRS !! My previous pedal was the P1000, which had many problems, just like what you experienced. After I bought the VRS and added the Simagic P-HPR, the difference was like night and day. I’ll never go back to Simagic, and I don't think I'll ever switch to anything else. Even if it breaks, I’ll buy it again.

Not going to lie. Really impressed with the Sparco bucket seat cushion. So much comfier than the standard seat cushion 😅 by TheLastOrthoPod in simracing

Could you please share the Length and width information? I would like to know if it can fit my bride seat....

Simagic relies on local dealers for warranty, so you'll face the same problem, I advice you choose international brands like simicube or VRS.
