The guys at InsideSimRacing.tv have released??their??review of SimXperience’s much-discussed AccuForce Pro steering wheel system.
After spending months with the wheel, Darin Gangi & John Sabol share their verdict after extensive testing with us.
Controller & Base Unit Features
- Unparalleled Steering Feedback Quality & Realism
- Direct Drive System (Wheel connects directly to motor shaft, there are no belts to slip, wear or absorb critical detail)
- Powerful, Low Inertia Motor??supports up to??13Nm of sustained torque depending on the user selected mode *
- Easily dial back the forces??for safe use by??friends and family
- User selectable modes (similar to those on a stereo) allow easy selection of linear performance, peak performance, soft performance,??child mode,??etc.
- Extreme efficiency??(13Nm sustained torque at 100% stall for 30 minutes with 2??F temperature rise over ambient with 0% torque loss due to??heat fade)
- Excellent balance of torque and torque resolution results in an extremely refined and realistic feel
- Torque peaks are removed by default to ensure a truly 1:1 linear??experience (option to enable peaks is provided)
- Up to 2000Hz??Communication Rate via SimXperience Dual Stream Technology??(1000Hz??from Game / 1000Hz from Sim Commander software)
- Motor updated 50,000 times per second??/ Realtime encoder processing
- Lowest possible??latency / lag??due to integration of??controller and motor drive system on a single circuit board and custom motor design
- Integrated slip rings ensure long life and great electrical contact while providing for infinite wheel rotation
- 4500 degrees of rotation, configured for 900 degrees by default.??User may opt to alter this setting in real-time
- 16,000 PPR (pulse per revolution) positional feedback
- 16-bit control loop??resolution
- Game provided instruction to movement time of less than 2ms (1ms to instruct + 1ms for game to read back instruction is a round trip 2ms)
- Engineered for many years of reliable service in commercial environments. (Critical parts are stress tested for 300lb loads)
- Includes FREE Sim Commander SimVibe and Steering system tuning / analysis software suite
- Three force feedback (FFB)??options: traditional raw game FFB, SimXperience / user optimized game FFB and completely user definable FFB
- Robust tuning capability via touchscreen or in game heads up display via included software
