AccuForce Pro V2 Direct Drive Wheel First Impressions

I should have got a Fanatec I guess/Ive had my wheel two months & cant get in Sim Commander

You spoke about it comparing DD to Belt Drive, I just got TCPC Racer (its not opened yet, Xmas present from Wife with my help lol) got the Ferrari 488 one so tops out at $700, nice wheel though. I could return this and get Simexperience Accuforce V2 for 1K which would be an extra $300. Like one post that I read, I am not getting a response for questions from Simexperience. Seems they are possibly spread too thin which makes me wonder if you have issues in the future will they be there for you. My Wife’s family lives right near their HQ as well lol... so I thought I would have an in. Just confused on what I should do, like the 16 newtons it puts out but does the TCPC Racer put out close to that as well? Saving the $300 and the customer experience is right now where I am at...

How effective is direct drive wheel to truck simulator

I will be ordering an AF this year. What pedals will go with it? Thanks SRS.

seriously bean wanting one of these friggin' wheels.

great video got any more

Do you still recommend this? The base is 625 with black Friday sale I'm thinking of combining it with a 3d rap f1 wheel

Can you combine this wheel with let's say a fanatec pedels and shifter?

You use an accuforce to play trucksimulator?!?
That must be some kind of record.

Really the cable is not a deal breaker! What a terrible design they came up with it. This will be a frustrating issue to deal with it while you are racing, I wanna focus on the track not fixing the cable. This actually the only reason that kept me away from buying it.

Hey paesan. Nice vid. I'm thinking of selling my Large Mige Simucube for an AF because of all the FFB customisation. Do you have any experience with an OSW/Simucube?

Great, thorough review. I'm sold.

Wow great review where were you a year and a half ago when i wanted to pull the trigger on this when it was 1200 bucks, wish I would've purchased it now. I also remember contacting the company back then and asking them to lower their price to 1000 bucks , and they wouldn't budge

It's not the wheel it's the mug behind it that makes the difference yes direct drive is better but half the douchebags that have these setups I can beat them with my G29 these things are not the magic silver bullet they won't make you incredibly fast or a very good driver before you waste the money make sure it's not the idiot behind the wheel that's making you slow

I prefer dd gt wheel

I've heard it feels grainy, did you feel this?

Sorry to ask but I didn’t see what rig you have the wheel base bolted to, thank you for your time.

can you mount the accuforce on the GT omega pro ?

Dan, do you have a profile in the simxperience library for rfactor 2? I watched your rf2 video and seeing as you love it, I would love to see and use your settings on my accuforce with rf2. If you have a profile you have uploaded, can you let me know what it's called?

what moniters and rig do you use?

From my understanding with that Button Box on the wheel you should be able to just take the screws off the Rim and put any other Rim on there with the same screw pattern.

You are one of many why I've ordered the Accuforce Pro V2.

Never understood why sim racers would use a triple monitor setup with my monitors that have massive bezels.

I wonder how exactly you've got your cable routed lol...in the year I've owned mine and the MANY MANY MANY MANY hours I've used it.....not a single time have I ever had the cable wrap around anything on the wheel. I don't even notice it's there, and I have driven a ton of cars as well as using 900 degree maximum rotation. I've used 2 different cables now, the original and a replacement cable I bought online when I accidentally broke the plastic tab that secures it to the wheel.

I imagine that it must be something with how you've routed it?

Don’t laugh too hard as this is a beginners question. if I buy this wheel system and all the rest like pedals and shifter from fanatec how much of a pain is this going to be to plug everything in separately as a stand-alone USB device and set them all up everytime I change cars within a game or change games outright vs if I just buy everything from fanatec? It’s worth the hassle?

I tested all the wheels at the Sim expo in Nurburg (Bodner, Accuforce 2, DD1, DD2, Simucube 30) - for me the Accuforce 2 fell clearly behind the others.

Hi Dab, have you got RF2 working with sim commander/accuforce, i've just spent hours and the rotation is wrong no matter what I do

i have the wheel a few weeks now and can agree with your review , super quality etc, i have my wheel DOG set to 540 and the cable to the wheel is never an issue for me at that DOG , im sure however at 900 dog this could present an issue.
Super review :)

why you would need more power than 12nm? do you know how much nm a indycar has in reallife?! you need more power, for more realism. get youself a SIMUcube OSW instead this cheap stepper crap. modular, more details, less clipping, choose your own rim.

I felt that nochiness when I had my excellent T300 yet I did not have the English words to describe it. However, with my CSW V2 there is zero nochiness.

Amazing video dude! (3rd time watching it) I'm very very much considering this wheel. Not ready yet to pull the trigger on one, but very excited! Glad you got this one man!

I think there is a Bluetooth adapter in the future for the button box....as for as the fan noise....i don't notice it because my PC fans are much louder than the Accuforce Fan on the controller box.....lol great wheel and review....

This Italian guy knows English..

i feel all those inticate details in my t300,its all down to the sim you use, theres a reason rf2s ffb and physics are known as the best

simcommander is perfect for those sims with lacklustre physics and ffb because as you say you can add your own effects

Good review and I agree. I have had mine for around 1 month and love it. As for the question 'is there enough power', have you ever had yours 'jolt' out of your hands? I have and it could quite easily break your finger/thumb or wrist if it catches in the right way/time. Accuforce recommend removing the wheel each time you finish racing, because next time you start it up it recalibrates and can break the plug off the end of the cable (been there, done that, now have a crimping tool and spare plugs). Or you could just disconnect the cable itself, but its a little sprung piece of plastic and probably easy to break. Whats more, I find it easier getting on/off my rig without the wheel in pace.

Power ain't everything, I too had to tone down my Fanatec Clubsport Wheel 2.5 force feedback to 30%- 33% as well, starting at full power on any wheel is absurd. I prefer the super smoothness oppose to my previous Logitech huge deadzone.

What was your lead time? From when you clicked Buy till it arrived at your door?

sold, take my money

Don't understand how you say the wheel it's great, a basic button box with a cheap ebay rim...
Sorry mate, but it's the true, other reviews also said it.
The base ok, but the rim, no thanks.

Glad your enjoying your new DD wheel mate, I knew you would as after having the V1 version for a few months now I am still very very impressed with mine. I did join the Accuforce owners group over on Facebook which i have found useful at times with SC4.

Very good preview. Well done.

I pre-ordered dd1 from Fanatec but canceled my order after they announced the delay. I am going Accuforce Pro V2 as well and looking for it a lot. I simply dont trust Fanatec will release podium wheels on the announced date.

A TSPC Racer has ~6Nm that you've maxed out you say, twice as powerful would be 12Nm. You also say you run the AF V2 at 30%, 100% are ~13Nm. So basically you say 2x6Nm = 13Nm/3

very good review, everything I needed was heard.

This wheel is amazing and they do deliver to the UK but does anyone know the import costs once in the UK, any help would be much appreciated thank you.

Really hoping that this thing will be less of a pain in the ass to buy when I'm in a position to consider a DirectDrive wheel. Doubt it'll happen though, so it'll probably end up being a OSW or Fanatec DD, kinda sad because this thing is a pretty good deal with the included rim, unless you're outside the US like me.

what is killing me that time to time they making new update and sometimes its really killing ffb!and then I need to start again tuning my profiles!What is good that this guys is very friendly and they have best customer service I ever experience !
