If only it had been a few weeks later and i would have sold you mine. I've just ordered a SIMAGIC Alpha wheelbase and a new wheel. 
 

 

Let us know later what are your thoughts on it. I'm thinking of getting either an Alpha or Alpha Mini by the end of the year or next year, and "complete" my setup. I'm still on a T300 for now, I'd like to jump to a DD but I think I'd rather go straight for something like that, than an entry level Fanatec or Moza and then remain tempted to upgrade later on. But it's too much expense at once now I'm getting a alu rig and monitor (just waiting on the monitor now to put it all together).

I've been very happy with my CSLDD, but i've said it before and i'll say it again. GATEWAY DRUG! However, I do have a mate who is much further along the sim-stuff journey and he has come to the conclusion that once past the sort of point we are all at, it becomes a law of diminishing returns. 

With regards to CSLDD settings, I highly recommend the profiles by 'Maurice' (he's something to do with Fanatec) https://forum.fanate...r-feedback-here (it's a few posts down).
They are on a car by car basis so they differ based on the cars propensity to make the FFB oscillate. You just have to turn the power up on them as they are for the slightly more powerful wheelbases.

 

 

 

I've just ordered the Treq one rig!! Don't have a seat yet, will pick one up once ready to build... 

 

Havn't bought the CSL GT3 DD off my mate yet... so let me know your best price!

 

Thanks for the maurice tips I'll look that up. I find the feedback is great for detecting oversteer but not understeer. I'm running the 8nm boost kit then fanatec force at 70%, then in iracing 25% intensity with between 4 and 8 on strength dependant on car. Lower on big tyre downforce cars, higher on small contact patch sportscars.

 

Starting to get dialled in now, dropped into an Acura GTP Road AM race last night and nearly put it on pole after 5 laps practice. Chased 2nd all the way withing 1s of my first win since starting again this last few months.

 

When it comes, it's going to come alot! (Whos sig was that?!  )

Just gave this a go, great shout mate! This has alleviated all the issues I was having with vague front end and now the cars feel exactly as I'd expect, the force builds up through the wheel in line with the tyre force, super realistic now  And it's no longer crazy amplified over the bumps and kerbs. Perfect

It arrived at the weekend. Got it setup really quickly (+ ~a million adjustments thereafter) and have been really pleased with it.  

Really powerful and smooth. I have it outputing at the full 15Nm and turn down the Intensity in iRacing to 45%. It's absurdly strong otherwise and kerbs/bumps will rip the wheel out of my hands. But having the extra headroom is really nice when things get slidy and/or bouncy. 

The GT NEO wheel is excellent. Very good ergonomics for large or small hands. More buttons than I know what to do with, they can all be programed with thier own LED's and flashing functions via telemetry (ABS, Flags etc).

I've decided to go Simagic eventually but struggling to pick either the Alpha or the Alpha Mini. The 200€ difference is a lot for me, but also don't want to end up regretting not getting the full thing.

 

Also planning to go with a round rim at first (Neo X hub) to be more versatile. 99% of what I do is GT cars and prototypes and maybe very rarely a formula car, but whenever I want to try rallying or road cars etc I think the GT Neo would be a bit crap.
