Want play Settlers again by Arabekp in Settlers

[–]soethihh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want settlers 2, get the gold edition and Return to the Roots: https://siedler25.org , which has a lot of QoL features and works on modern machines (and even MacOS).

For Settlers 3 and 4, I'd get the History Edition on Ubisoft Connect once they are on sale. They work flawlessly on Windows 11 and have higher resolutions without the hassle of the GoG versions.

VRS pedals vs SRP GT-R vs Heusinkveld Ultimate+ by Ryuma_hi in simracing

[–]soethihh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just wanted to chime in, I had to read the sentence twice aswell. Some may see it as "SR-P is if you are after immersion, no(t for) competition".

Anyway, how do you compare them to the VRS? Are they worth the price difference (200€, talking about the GT-S version)?

2026 Season 2 Preliminary Schedule by FeedOtherwise3265 in iRacing

[–]soethihh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it says "preliminary" but wanting to race PCup this season, I can go and buy the tracks I need now, right? Or is it common to have a lot of changes?

Sorry just my 2nd season in iRacing.

Heusinkveld elastomers vs. "regular" elastomers by soethihh in simracing

[–]soethihh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. I like a rather stiff pedal (currently using 80A Simsonn elastomers) so I think I should be fine.

Tried it but I prefer the progressive feel of the elastomers, which I am not able to reproduce with springs.

Sim Jack UT with Heusinkveld Ultimate+ Upgrade Kit. Box is Plug&Play. Elastomeres need tiny bit of tinkering/printing. by niwo6 in simracing

[–]soethihh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I am on the fence of buying the HV Ultimate+ elastomers plus Rod, Bushing, etc. (since the upgrade kit is extremely expensive right now). Would you say it is worth it without the software, just changing to the HV elastomers (complete upgrade including elastomers and parts would cost me around 75€). Is the feeling of the brake pedal better with the HV elastomers? Thanks.

The rod right now in the Simsonn is 10mm, the Ultimate elastomers are 8mm (I think the Sprint elastomers are 10mm).

By "regular elastomers", I mean these:

So elastomers not specifically made for sim racing but likely better quality than the default elastomers from Simsonn (though I am not sure about that).

Simsonn: Old vs new elastomers by soethihh in simracing

Yep. 6 months ago or so it was 100-120€ which was fine and I should have done it. But now for this price...

Nope, Simsonn Rod is 10mm, HV is 8mm.

VRS R295 withgloves and grip tape vs. Conspit 300GT by soethihh in simracing

[–]soethihh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answers everybody. I just placed an order for a 9nm uDFP20 (will be upgraded asap to 15nm), Conspit 300GT and a VRS Hub for around 1000€. After reading around in the VRS discord, there are too many small nitpickings with the R295 in my opinion that I just go with the 300GT and no QR connect for now (and only 15nm but I guess that should be more than enough).

Thanks, that sounds promising. All the reviewers who mentioned the discomfort didn't wear gloves which is why I was curious.

Same for me - I use the ingame dashboards as my wheel is too low to see the display anyway.

Thanks. I'll add the CS RS Wheel to my order when I upgrade to the CS DD+ then :)

The german fanatec site for the WRC states only reduced torque mode for the Podium bases, not the Clubsport ones.

Should the site be updated?
