I don't know if it's different on a PC but with PS3 and Xbox there are no rumble effects when you use the ABS tuning function of the wheel. I don't know why it's like that but I've read with the consoles something about engaging the ABS tuning of the wheel negates the shock effects from functioning. I've never tested it with the ABS tuning off to see what the rumble effects are like.
I can confirm the vibration effects feel stronger on the CSR compared to my PWTS. I'd have to attribute that to the wheel itself having less mass than the PWTS which likely dampens the effects. Same can be said for the FFB effects compared to my PWTS......they feel a bit stronger but the biggest difference is the subtle effects......you feel a lot more of the twitch effects and such compared to the PWTS. Again......I'm sure the reduction in wheel mass has a lot to do with that.
Thanks...
I will have usage of my friends CSR this weekend to compare to the CSRE. I agree with you on the PWTS. The new rim does improve things and while people have commented on its reduced weight I will have upcoming videos that highlight the differences in speed and take a closer look at benefits the CSR has over older Porsche rims.
The rumble effect is their but its very weak. You notice if your gripping the wheel fairly loosely but when I did fast laps I couldn't tell tbh.
What games was it weak on? Did you find different games or a different console that it changed?
The pedal is definitely stiff and I thought you had the pedals?? But I found it similar from experience although I couldn't be sure if I'm honest as it has been a good few months since I tried the csp. As you have both what was your opinion?? As I am not totally sure why you asked meOh and I would have liked more resistance on throttle.
Yes I do have both pedals but I was asking your feedback...
Ive yet to do a proper test comparing each pedal and examining them closely.
The reason I asked you is beause you tested and reviewed the wheel, yet seem to get a little defensive when anyone criticises it for lack of depth or detail. You certainly didnt really go into detail or make a comparison to the CSP.
Thats all part of doing a good review is providing additional information or details and then giving your opinion on the differences of each product towards making a personal conclusion. Like for instance how did tuning the CSRE pedals feel to the CSP, can you do the same things, is the end result very similar, do the new pedals feel different, the CSRE pedals are spaced more like the T500 pedals, whats your thoughts on that, better/worse. What about the CSRE Pedal base, what can be done with it that cant be done on the CSP, what are all the holes for?
Thats just an example of things you could of covered particulary as your site proclaims to offer a "no.1 resource for wheel reviews". It is only in your own interest is it not to then do much better?
As others have said your review just reads like information that is already available and is compiled together. I dont see you actually doing much regards indepth testing and trying to form a general analysis of your own. I find it amusing how your intend to offer a good review site if you cant take the first golden oppertunity in getting the CSR for review and produce what you have. You should be criticised different to others as others are not trying to promote themselves or their websites. From an individual review it was fine, from a "wheel website perspective" it was indeed shallow.
Now you cant remember how the pedals feel compared to the CSP, well what a surprise. That is exactly why your own reviews will always be lacking if you cannot directly compare things particulary as your position isnt just as a owner of a product but wanting to be seen as a reviewer.
Ask yourself what did people learn or get from your review that wasnt already known or been highlighted elsewhere. Regardless of what I do, I personally think you will see the 3 lucky guys here on GT Planet that won the voting will produce something a bit more substantial in their CSRE reviews.
The thing is and this is not disrespectful but I believe many people on these forums that own multiple wheels and have a great deal of knowledge and experience in this field of products. Many of them I would say are in a better position than you with what they already own/purchased to offer more detailed reviews yet are they trying to be seen as owners of a "website for reviews".
For me I dont see how your in a position (yet) to provide a good "wheel review" website.
