So have just completed tearing out my V3i and installing the SimNets so initial reaction is still mixed

The brake I’m going to need a lot of time to sort - way off my current muscle memory after a few years w the V3 and BPK w my first try

The LC emulation means that there is no longer the brake force adjustment on the wheel which is a bit of a negative to me ATM as I had different BRF for some of my settings

And that means the laptop has to be open and connected to tune it which is another thing to setup until I get this sorted - and not so handy in VR

So many options between the springs and elastomers but at least dead easy to change them out

Clutch is not bad but the V3 and V3i still has a much better clutch action - if that matters - I use it a lot
So with additional miles and some brake tuning, I’m impressed w this set. Much more finese in the braking

Very well built, lots of adjustment. No compatability issues so far. Heel plate and base work well but no cable management included

Being somehwat price competitive w the current ELite V2 and the CSP V3’s these should be considered if looking for an upgrade or alternative
 
I wonder if it will continue but without the Mclaren branding as far as I'm aware that's the issue?
Never tried one myself but most people recommend them for the value for money.

It's not just the branding unfortunately as the wheel is a copy of the actual GT3 wheel. The McLaren licence has gone to Logitech so I don't think there'd be any way for them to sell it minus the branding.

Yep.

Personally, been waiting for gt7 to implement full force, before risking a firmware update.

Haven’t seen any reason to deviate from that.

Can certainly see the logic, however it is useful to know if your wheelbase can safely do an update before the warranty runs out in case the worst happens. Been ok for me so far, but 468 looked especially risky so I passed on that one

But aside from PVGT my other rims seem all good in ACC, & F1 but this did not fix my issues w FH5
