I think that the point of a wheel never was to be outright faster. You are still driving the same car and still have the same inputs (as in: throttle is throttle, break is break).
Did you notice a reduction in FFB by moving up to a larger wheel? I think I'm almost set on getting the RS but need just a small push. MFD buttons mapped to anything on the wheel or no?
No. I did not notice any FFB reduction. I also had the same concern as you but my thinking was, that if I felt a FFB reduction, I just adjust the feedback a little more stronger in the game settings to compensate. But I didn’t have to.
This is my kind of project! How did you get accurate personalized measurements for it? I’m a measure twice, cut once kind of guy, but my current rig so far is a “measure fifty times and still not find the right position” kind of setup.Mine has evolved a little bit since I built it back in 2018.

FF max tq is already at 5 and from memory the clipping at 6 was a bit too obvious so I'm not sure I could go any higher. But knowing that the change isn't noticeable I think I'll be putting RS down as the next wheel purchase. Thanks!
Just . . . wow!Hand built from supplies at home depot and the like. Project started in 2000-2001 and has taken several evolutions since. Hood comes off to reveal all electronics, powered amplifiers, lights, butt kicker controls, etc. Sits on casters so it's easy to roll off to the side. It's been a labor of love and like the hot rod that may sit in your garage, it is never done.
Pic shows a TM wheel but rig now holds a Fanatev CSV 2.5 on a DriveHub with a V2 wheel. Updated the post with some more recent pics. I got some vinyl/cloth material from amazon that looks like carbon fiber and wrapped the floor and dash board. Pretty proud of that trick. And those are real sideview mirrors from Advance Auto wired to a dimable ac/dc converter. I can brighten them up or turn them down or off. Same with the leds. All colors of the spectrum, flashing/not flashing, whatever. You'd think they'd be distracting but their below your line of sight.
I keep track of improvements/modifications I plan on an app on my phone. I want to make some more cuts for ergonomics, brace it up a little for a DD1 Podium Wheel, freshen paint and some cosmetics. And for the grand finale a mounted curved screen on the car right behind the wheel. I think this will be close to ideal for fov. But this will require a dedicated space for the rig and I don't have the room currently. So kinda stuck in this current evolution and that's okay.
