The FFB is as strong as an ox though, so needs to be tamed to avoid clipping and loss of feel past the extremes quite often. I'm really enjoying the Fanatec gear, it's definitely a step up in the quality/build arena, and a step forward in the immersion for me with most details shining through (although a lack of subtle detail around the centre compared to the T500RS I'm used to). It was a challenge that's for sure and I nearly stuffed up a few times around Maggots and Becketts but I won in pulled away in the end. The field was populated by United Racing Design's EGT collection for rFactor2 and I chose the Bayro to sit in for the journey and pitched against the rest of the EGT pack. My tools of choice for the job were my recently acquired Fanatec CSW base and the BMW M3 GT2 rim along with CSP v2 pedals. ~ I dusted off rFactor 2 again this week to try out the new build with the latest motion seat 64bit plugin from Geko Syetems. The whole feel now is awesome in my limited space and I'm so glad that the wait for the NL Motion platform is working out. I've also replaced the CSP v2 pedals with the CSP v3 pedals along with a set of dampers on the throttle and brake. The Megane is such a nice car to race with and I chose Mills Inner Loop C as this, along with the car, was my bench mark track way back in January 2012 when I purchased the lifetime online pass to support the development. The Next Level Motion v2 is just awesome combined with their GT Ultimate v2 Racing Cockpit and I'll be putting up a review of both very soon. Once you have had motion, you never go back! It's so nice to be back behind the wheel, I did try to keep racing once I sold my Geko GS 105C last September, but the whole thing felt flat. All the previous annoyances, like the flickering wing mirrors have been addressed and you can even upgrade (or rather downgrade) to the 2009 version over the 2012 Trophy Evo edition which is standard. ISI have release the version 1.02 of my favourite rF2 car of all time that has been there since the early releases and it was long overdue the overhaul. I am still tweaking the software to personalise the experience, but rFactor 2 simply seems to have the best output of any I have tried so far and the feeling is fantastic with only a few tweaks. After a near 6 months wait and many delays, my Next Level Motion v2 arrived and so I'm racing again!
