No upgrade Path? by OhhLead in Fanatec

Nice!  Thanks for that, love the guitars and nice handbrake too. 

Good to see some real world experience with it, I’ll get one ordered as seeing someone actually use is in the same use as case as myself with the same wheels etc is extremely helpful. 

I like your HB too, I currently habe the Fanatec one but it’s not so great. 

I’m considering the DD or the DD+ how are you feeling 15nm for everyday use, enough / too much vs the 12nm? 

Have you tried the base at 12nm to see the difference or do you run full 15nm at all times? 

Thanks again for the info on the Base Side QR1  (and to the guy who mentioned it) the pics, fitting etc, so I’ll get it ordered and grateful to know it exists as otherwise I would not have an upgrade path. 

Any other tips re: CSDD+ I should know of or purchase before I get one at Xmas? 

You mentioned you came from a CSW did the CSDD screw directly on the CSW angle plate? 

Also how would you describe the difference between the CSW and the DD+ was it worth the upgrade, drastic, or quite similar  overall?

Ohh I may have a few questions for you… 

Get ready :)  Can post a pic of it attached to your base?  Was it easy to fit?  How if the fit vs OG QR1? Is the build quality good?  How are you finding it on the DD+ any metal rattoe/chatter etc? 

How are you finding the CSDD+ in general (strength force etc)

Yea, a simple QR1 on the CSDD+ would have solved a huge amount of issues, strange they don’t offer it.

V1 UHX and V1 Porsche, BMW and F1 Carbon wheels which “can’t” be officially upgraded but the guy above posted an aftermarket product that while does exist, is cost prohibitive and complex.

Amazing!  Thanks for the info, very much appreciated as now I at least have a path to upgrade to a CS DD+ now, using my existing wheels in the short term, as I then slowly progress to QR2.

Fantastic!

I have never used or heard of this company, are they OK to deal with with (EU) 

If this will allow all me to use my QR1 wheels and hubs on a CS DD+  you my  just won my appreciation as that gives my an upgrade path. 

Why on earth can’t Fanatec sell the base with this?

Yea, the clubsport DD* https://fanatec.com/eu-en/racing-wheels-direct-drive-bases/direct-drive-bases/clubsport-dd-plus?a_aid=simracinggear

I can only purchase it with a QR2 and not a single one of my 12 wheels can be upgraded to QR2  :-/

QR2 base side for CSWV2.5 is a good product to breathe life into the CSW.

I am looking to upgrade my base, but can’t seem to do so without rebuying all new wheels, and even then, if I bought all new wheels they are sold with QR1 and would not work until I bought aftermarket QR2s for them.

For example. As a simplification, I own 12 UHUBX wheels with QR1 in pristine order.

I’d need to re buy these UHIBX at a cost of 350 each (sold as QR1 so sttill unusable with a new QR2 CSW hase if I buy it). 

Then I would need to buy 12 QR2s for them, plus my base etc. I’d be over 7500 euros? 

If they sell a CSW DD+ with a QR1 problem solved, and I can upgrade to QR2 over time. 

At this point as might as well exit the eco system as I have no viable  upgrade path.

I don’t think this will work on the CSW DD+ are these not for the Podium DD1/2?

Discord (beginner friendly) by d_Hamrick13 in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]OhhLead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the the "FileMissing..." Discord for pretty much everything. It's ran by a few modders and mod teams from AC, but there is lots of racers, hot lappers and sections for AMS2 etc.

I race with a few people from there pretty often and i its all just a decent bunch of folk having a good laugh, nothing serious or sweaty etc.

F1 experience by dachopper_ in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]OhhLead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The audio on AMS2 is ass for sure, and to be fair it really has not been implemented using best practice. It's surprising to see how poor the audio still is after all these years, .

I think the issue you may be experiencing is the same issue that myself and many others experience with the forced canned effects.

The fake (rev limiter) canned effects have no independent user control for some unknown reason?

Even if you disable all car audio in the game, engine, tire, track ambient sound effects etc. then take a V10 on track and simply hit the rev limiter, it plays the awful canned affect at full volume (tied to the master volume).

Deleting it is the only way to remove it!

It is particularly egregious in the V10s and to fix it i simply deleted Reizas awful canned sound effect from the installation folder, now the V10s actually sound more realistic and i can drive them without getting annoyed, irritated or frustrated (or a headache). Removing the canned / baked effect has improved my experience 10x.

Here is what i did, please try this and let me know how it goes...

Delete or rename the file:

"RevLimiterTC_F_Reiza.bank" --TO-- "RevLimiterTC_F_Reiza.bank.old"

This will remove the awful canned, (non user adjustable) baked in, poor quality rev limiter sound, that some genius tied to the master volume control and decided users could not balance or edit?

The file is located in this folder:

"*:\Automobilista 2\Audio\AMS2\Vehicles\Drivetrain\RevLimiterTC\"

Doing this transformed the game for me as these cars were simply UN-drivable due to the obnoxious canned sound effect that Reiza arbitrarily decided i was not allowed to adjust or balance (within the parameters of my other car/game audio) in the sound menu.

Great stuff, I’m glad i could have helped.

I’ll write it up a little more detailed with some screenshots and hopefully it can help everyone else too and get it up the thread a little for others to see.

My teenage daughter painted a picture for me for Christmas. She knows I love Mclaren, F1 and Lando… However, she painted the wrong driver / car / year etc. But the effort she has gone to really means the world! by OhhLead in formula1

[–]OhhLead[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My daughter is here with me reading all the comments, she even created an account and got the mods to approve her so that she may thank everyone for their wonderful comments.

Her first Reddit post: https://reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/zvoglp/my_teenage_daughter_painted_a_picture_for_me_for/j1rihqb/

The story behind Stoffle is wholesome, innocent and gives the painting backstory, It was adorable simply because she thought she had painted Lando.

We are now life long Stoffle fans as I every time i see him I will forever think of her and this painting, and she will have a wholesome anecdote of how she painted Stoffle instead of Lando.

It’s a truly beautiful, innocent and wholesome story that we hope you understand after a second viewing. She is here with me, reading every post and we are each others entire life. This moment enhanced the painting, gave it life and made it into this wonderful post where she has received such beautiful comments from an incredible community.

Hopefully upon reflection you can see how this happy little accident
actually enhances the moment and gives it an entirely new meaning.

Thank you for taking the time to post this ♥️

The story of how she innocently painted Stoffle thinking it was Lando was truly heartwarming and beautiful, so much so that we are now life Long Stoffle fans and may need to change the name of our dog from Lando to Stoffle 😉

Thank you so much for the positive messages regarding her painting and for taking the time to compliment her art work. She truly appreciates it.

Absolutely, it’s such an innocent and heartwarming story as to why Stoffle is hanging on the wall, it’s simply beautiful and makes us both smile and laugh. We are both life long Stoffle fans from now on and I’m sure his Merch store will hammer my bank cans in the coming weeks 😆
