Fanatec Pedal Question

[Keith2324]

For those of you who have owned both the CSL Elite w/loadcell and the V3's, which do you prefer and were the V3's worth the upgrade. I am on the fence about ordering the V3's and am looking for a little feedback/advice. Keep in mind at this time the only game/sim I play is GT Sport.

Thanks,
Keith.

i upgraded from the CSL Elite Pedals (w/o LoadCell) to CSPv3 and i don't regret it.

I also bought the Brake Performance Kit and the Damper Kit. The Damper got installed at the throttle because i didn't feel like it is necessary on the brake pedal (i configured my brake pedal quite stiff, so the Damper was kind of useless, but it feels really good on the throttle).

Thanks for the reply. The biggest issue I have at the moment is not "feeling" what the brakes are doing. I seem to lock up the brakes a lot and of course this leads to slower lap times. Hopefully the V3's will alleviate some of this.

I am not sure what you expect from the pedals by stating "feeling what the brakes do".
yes, you have a rumble motor on the brakepedal, but i am not sure this will help you, as it is really sublte to feel.

If you have wheel lockup in GTS you are probably running on ABS weak or off, which i wouldn't recommend, even with the CSPv3.

I am running ABS on default!

 

[NaketWookie]

then you should not experience lockup. afaik

Maybe someone else can give a second opinion?

I started with the CSP v3s and had to return them because they aren't able to be directly mounted to rigs. With the rig I have, they were just way to high up for my feet. I didn't want to return them, but I will say my CSL Elite LC pedals are super great <3

About a year ago upgraded form CSL Elite with loadcell brake to v3's. Both are great! (yep that doesn't help you with a direct answer )
It could be placebo but I think with the v3's you have the 'feeling' that the brake is more 'connected' and responds more accurate. Again maybe that's my justification for the higher investment?

Like @NaketWookie I also have both the break performance kit and the damper kit. Bought them together form my own comparison and then I also attached the damper kit to the throttle.

Did you already order a pedal set? Hopefully you were able to order the v3's with the discounted price?

I didn't get the pedals yet. I am going to purchase the Podium Racing Wheel F1 first and get the pedals at a later date.
