Talk:Direct-drive sim racing wheel

Additional comparison tables

 * Basic measurements/specs: power supply, weight, unit size, shaft size, separate control and power unit (as in Bodnar, OSW, etc.) or single unit (as in fanatec and simicube).
 * Software: software name and version/year, general FFB adjustements allowed (strenght, dampening, friction, inertia, ..), telemetry-based FFB allowed (as in Accuforce "foundation FFB" and VRS), combined game and telemetry based FFB allowed, adjustements to individual telemetry forces (as in Accuforce), .. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OpenNotes1 (talk • contribs) 17:06, 3 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello, some very specific details may be best suited under "Other notes" in the table. As far as columns go, I think the most important is that the table shows performance and whether the equipment is compatible with other sim racing gear using open standards and thus driving the development forward, or whether it is based on a proprietary ecosystem with requires vendor lock-in and special mounting and accessories. Some questions which might be useful when building a sim rig:


 * Is the motor base compatible with mounts for regular sim racing cockpits? (Front mount, 4x140 mm bolt circle is the most common, sometimes also referred to as 92 mm × 92 mm square)
 * Is the wheel hub mount compatible with regular sim racing steering wheels? (Standard 6x70 mm pattern)
 * If using a quick release, is this an open-source quick release system?
 * Are the electronics using open hardware and communication protocols for cross-manufacturer compatability, permitting usage of components from different brands?
 * Do the in-game tuning software accept mixing of hardware components from different brands?


 * Other than that, in my opinion, it is less interesting to know physical dimensions (size, weight, shaft size, etc.), and whether the power supply and control electronics are integrated or external, since this doesn't really matter for end users as far as determining performance or component interoperability. But feel free to add specifications you deem useful, I do however suggest keeping in mind the size of the table. Sauer202 (talk) 16:03, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

About the names of the Asetek DDs
On the show that were shown (I think it was PAX?) the base didn't have a name, the name you put in there are from the pedals. Also, make sure to put ALL of the DDs, the Moza R9 was there, but the R5, R15 and R21 aren't, same goes for Simagic, Immsource and Fanatec (you forgot the Podium PlayStation F1 and the GT DD Pro) EDIT: The Asetek ones are still there and I'm still telling you that those are the pedals. The direct drive that they're going to launch doesn't have a name yet, heck they're releasing the rim first: These are the Asetek Invicta These are the Asetek Forte As you can clearly see, they're NOT direct drive bases, they're pedals. 2800:810:4C2:869A:855F:1E09:E14C:A32C (talk) 03:07, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
