  • Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
  • It's been 2 years now since we originally reviewed the VRS Direct Force Pro Sim Racing Wheelbase. While at the time it left us overall impressed, especially for the price, there were some things we felt needed improvement.
    In the time since the Direct Drive Sim Racing Wheelbase market has also evolved considerably, so today we're revisiting to see how the product has evolved since our original review, and if it's something we would recommend in 2023.

    Hey, Will & Tom! I was one of the people who bought a VRS base after your initial review about 2 years ago and I couldn't have been happier. It was better than I expected (which was alot) and the constant updates by VRS to the software has only solidified that it was the right decision. I just wanted to say thanks for making the content and to keep it up!

I use it combined with the simracing coach QR, a simracingbay competition v2 rim and a Innato GT30 panel. Very good experience!!!!

    This review video sent me down the rabbit hole (again) for which DD wheel to buy (as my first). Thank you. I was looking at the Simagic Alpha and then the Moza R12, but I don't want to upgrade again if I can help it, and this appears to be worth saving a little longer to purchase. Also, product support and community are very important to me. Your reviews are the gold standard that I come back to for final decisions. Thanks again for your massive contribution to the sim racing community. FWIW, I stumbled across your Miata headlamp (front end) rewiring video the other day too, working on my NB1 wiring :-D Who knew.

    I've had my VRS DD for about a year now. The thing has been awesome & so is the support. As this video shows they just keep making it better. I upgraded from a Thrustmaster TS-XW so I picked up several of the Sim Racing Coach adapters to convert all the wheels I had. Works flawlessly & saved me a ton of money. The wheels have held up fine. No issues at all. VRS is the best bang for the buck out there IMHO.

My only criticism had been that the software updates were hidden on a page that had no link to it. I see VRS have rectified the issue by redoing their website. I had great customer service from them through email too. Thanks for explaining and sharing your settings, Will! They are way better than mine! 😋

    I sold dd1 and bought vrs, in fanatec I was constantly changing something in the settings, but there was still something wrong. Vrs without any changes in the settings immediately felt natural in Iracing and Richard burns rally. In Acc fanatec was better but I did not play with the settings in vrs. The only minus vrs is that in some titles such as rfactor2 you have to change the ini file. But it's worth it. Great review!

    I moved from my trusted Thrustmaster TS-PC wheelbase and T-LCM pedals to the VRS DFP wheelbase and Asetek Invicta pedals and it's been a night and day difference in quality, control, detail and immersion. I used Thrustmaster and Logitech for over a decade. When the opportunity to upgrade came it was well worth the investment. Make sure to have a solid aluminum profile rig to support all your high end gear or else you will loose a lot to dampening due to flex. Thank you @boostedmedia for this video! Love from Canada

    In the last 6 months I’ve gone from the g29 to a t300 to a Simagic Mini to the VRS base. I thought it was just going to be another stepping stone for me and that I’d be wanting more and end up with the Simucube Pro 2. I can genuinely say I have no desire for the Simucube and this has ticked all the boxes that was lacking in the previous wheels. It is powerful, detailed and smooth. I was actually surprised with just how smooth. I’ll be happy with this for a long time.

    Great update Will. Thanks! I got this base last year after giving up waiting for the elusive QR2. It’s fantastic. So powerful. So smooth. And rock solid with Xero play QR. I messed up though, and did not use the static force reduction filter and I also played much much longer hours because it was so fun! But the overuse strain caused some soft tissue damage to the wrist from ramping up the FFB without building up the muscle strength first. So be careful, take it easy and ramp up the strength/duration slowly. This is not a toy.

      @@MrJaffa78 I primarily race the Lotus 49, so I kept my simple old 270mm Fanatec round wheel for immersion. The Torque was pretty high on it though (effectively about 26Nm compared to a 350mm wheel). So I went to the other extreme and ordered a more ergonomic MOMO Montecarlo and Turn R305 in order to avoid future injury. If I’d had them to begin with, I’d be in much better shape I’m sure.

    Would you ever consider to make a tierlist of the graining- and detail feel you sometimes describe in the DD wheel base reviews, and all the way to gear motor bases of the Logitech G29 or Thrustmaster T150 as well as the belt driven bases like Thrustmaster T300 an alike.

    I was looking at the SC2 Pro and Asetek Invicta but the price just doesn't seem worth it over this. Going by reviews. The price for the performance is just simply unmatched!
    I will be using the Moza KS with this wheel base. Which should be a fantastic combo, as the KS rim is super light! So I should be able to feel tonnes of detail.

    Very nice! I’ve got an R9 right now and this review will help in the future whether I want to upgrade or not. I’m still thinking of either upgrading to this, simagic ecosystem or continue with moza. But out of these options, simagic is the one that is easily reachable as for moza I will either have to ship it from their store or overpay where I live, and VRS I would also need to ship here, while simagic they have an official distributor here. What do you think?

    Having never tried a DD wheel, I wonder about the Inertia setting. Like should that not come from the physics? On the face of it it sounds like a spring or drift setting on the old Fanatec wheels. Also, I understand ACC or iRacing make sense for comparison due to player numbers making it relevant to the most users. But for outright testing of differences in FFB, why not use rFactor 2? Even if you don't like the game itself, it is the benchmark in FFB much like the Simucube 2 is the benchmark in DD wheels.

    I am so glad i got this base... it was difficult but i saved so much cash getting my own gear and putting together my own wheels etc etc... you just gotta know where to look and its not always name brands. This wont be for everybody but for do it your self kinda folks it saved me on cash but i did not sacrafice quality. This wheel base is close to bulletprouf honestly compared to other brands with issues or have not bin tested form many years yet like OSW bases. However to most i reccomend something more plug and play with a simple ecosystem especially new folks to sim racing. I hope i don't sound crass just trying to keep it real. VRS doesnt hold your hand when it comes to good sim setups or good setups in general. honestly people like boosted media and Dan Sazuki give you better setup advice in one video with a few off hand tips lol. could just be me i like straight forward info not suck wholing on discord maze lol. good people but its most iracing centric. Howerver i love the filters in the software and everthing about the build quality of the VRS base it feels heavenly.

    Thanks for this Will. I’ve owned the VRS Pro since shortly after launch and it’s been flawless for me. My biggest complaint has probably been the fact that VRS doesn’t give a lot of update information on their website, only discord which I don’t have a lot of time to dig through. It’s also hard to find and compare other people’s settings to get you in the ballpark, especially for new users. I’m extremely busy person and I don’t have a lot of time to fiddle with things and so I’ve just been running what works for me. This video was enlightening and you’ve gotten me to experience more of this wheel than I ever have before.
