The fanatec wheel, I think it was the CSR with the metal mechanics, you could look from above how it works through a glas/plastic hood. It was the fastest moving wheel I ever experienced. I drove with the 599 GTO and had a crazy time, I think I worked on it like a gocart wheel. It was very sturdy and very grippy, which doesnt come to mind when you see the materials. The stick that replaces the digital direction button worked really good. Normally those sticks feel cheap and weak, but not this, it worked like a charm to dissarm all the assists.
It was very precise and surdy. There was no feel like a mechanic or something, it felt like you would turn in a real car, without mechanical interuptions or slip. The force feedback worked very direct, more direct than my turbo s, which could be caused by the better wheel or the change in FM4. On the left and right where your hands suppose to be are some little alcantara parts for more grip. The wheel looked very racy and pure, but I dont think that the buttons are as intuitive to find on the fly as at the Porsche wheels.
The metal shifters were great. I would say that they are better than the ones on the G27. More sturdy and direct feel. Between the wheel base and the wheel is more room for the shifter paddles which helps it a lot. Many wheels use less room there and then the shifter doesnt feel right.
The pedals were clubsport pedals, which I own too, so they were great.
The best of the setup was the g-simulator. If I could afford it, it would be a nobrainer. It felt very real and I am still puzzled on how something like this workes. Especially in long corners it went really hard sideways and in this way you felt the Gs. I wonder what happens, if you would be in there when somebody hit you with a Bugatti thats going 400 kmh.
