CSR Elite - First Impressions

[kondor999]

Excellent tip, thank you.

I'll try this out ASAP and hope it'll be good enough until T10 adds in proper "native" 900 support (although, as I've said, 540 is what I prefer overall).

The twitchiness in Forza 4 when running sensitivities higher than 270 is a bug in the game, not a problem of the wheel.

For some reason Forza 4 has a reverse linearity when you set your wheel sensitivity over 270 meaning the steering is more sensitive near the center. I can't remember where, but I have seen videos proving this. It has been shown that a Lin setting on the wheel of 20 is the best compromise for cancelling out the reverse linearity of the game.

I personally use 3 different sensitivities when playing Forza 4. Sen 400 for all R1 and some R2 cars on road tracks. Sen 540 for all other cars on road tracks. Sen 900 for all cars on oval tracks. I use a Lin setting of 20 for all sensitivities.

I have been using sens 900 all the time in forza, haven't had any issues with it. I also own an s2000 IRL and the feeling feels pretty close. The only time I ever had to turn down ffb was when I used the x2011 in gt5. In forza I use many stock cars so I keep ffb at 100 both in game and on the wheel and it feels realistic to me.

Congratulations Thomas and team on producing a fantastic product. I have seen videos and images of this on the net but it’s not until you get one of these in your hands and look through the transparent cover that you the see how simple but elegant the design is. This base unit is the apple iPhone of the sim racing world. Whoever it was that sat down with a pencil and drew out the design for this deserves recognition. Other wheel manufactures will have to think long and hard to come up with anything remotely as attractive, no longer can they come out with the usual black plastic blob shaped cover.
I don’t know how you can produce such a high quality product for this price. If production of these were to stop they would sell for crazy prices second hand when people realise they had missed the boat.
The FFB is a joy, and to anyone on the fence about getting one of these I would say buy it as an investment, go on you deserve it.

OT ALERT

Hey, have you noticed how much better the S2000 is in Forza 4 vs GT5? I have no idea where they got the physics for the GT5 version, but it handles like a boat - lots of body lean and sloppy responses to control inputs. Who could possibly think an S2000 is like that? The S2k in FM4 really nails it IMHO - it feels tight, responsive and just a little nervous - just like the real deal.

One annoying thing is how the top speed of my M6 is totally wrong, however. Even on the long straight at the Nordschliefe, I can hit maybe 174 and then it stalls out. I've got a bunch of videos showing people (in Germany) blasting right to 194 without a problem.

What year S2k did you own? there is big differences from the 00-05 models compared to the 06. i owned the 06-07 like in GT5 and the suspension and ridgity of the car is alot softer then the older models. And forza using the AP1 00-03 model. i wish Forza would bring the AP2 model and the S2k CR(i think the CR was USA only, i know japan had a type S which was similar)

but yea so far im liking forza 4 as far as driver feel and physics. At first i was whatever about it and kinda dissappointed in forza but once i started playing it more i grew to love it, especially after getting the CSR-E
