Just as info for anyone thinking of buying this DD wheelbase. It is awesome. Period. VRS just released new firmware that addresses everything Will points out in the video. All the sliders now work and static force reduction is included and customizable.

A quick note on the filters. We’ve just been informed that currently the Friction and Inertia filters are non functional. As I was making other adjustments simultaneously, this must have fooled me into thinking they were also making a difference when in fact the difference was made by adjusting the smoothness and damper. We will revisit and test again once these filters have been properly implemented. We’re told Static Force Reduction will be coming too.

I’ve had mine for about 6 months and coming from a Thrustmaster T300 for me it has been a game-changer. It’s smooth, strong, responsive and super simple to setup! Can’t wait for the pedals now :)

Uh, oh.....Will is starting to get into "Barry" territory with the length of his videos.

Static force reduction is my favourite setting - good call on suggesting they add it.

I've had one for about 9 months and love it. I've had no issues and love the way it feels.

Have had my VRS wheel for a few months now. Love it . I run all settings at zero and 50% strength in the VRS software with some dampening within iRacing to add that 'rubber meets the road' feel.

I love mine. Have found low price rims that work. Plus, Sim Racing Machines offers a Fanatec adapter that is wheelbase side. I just bought one and it's on the way.

You deserve so many more subscribers. Your attention to detail and the way you explain things is exceptional.

Ive owned one for 6 months and it's the best purchase ive made. The devs are great and the DFP is a fucking BEAST.

Now after they added Static Force Reduction its so amazing. Just the "perfect" wheelbase in terms of price to performance y

THANK YOU! I have been trying to find a detailed review that compares this base to the Simucube and Fanatec offerings and this was exactly what I was looking for. Excellent detail and content and look forward to more of your reviews. I'll be ordering one of these bases shortly.

Excellent review Will and glad to see the DFP is getting more coverage...I've been saying since I got mine in July: even if it's not "better" than the Simucube Pro or Ultimate, it's most definitely the best DD on the market by far when talking about price to performance. I don't think the price comparison comment between the DFP and the DD1 in terms of wheel choices was exactly fair: the DD1 is $1199 and comes without a mounting bracket, compared to the DFP + Hub adapter (i.e. no mounting bracket) is $849...a $350 price difference and that's an apples to apples comparison. You can find wheels of similar quality to the McLaren GT3 for around the same price (speaking from experience with the McLaren GT3 rim as I came from 3 years in the Fanatec ecosystem before this)...so still about $300 in savings...not to mention the Mige motor is a proven workhorse and Fanatec products have broken down on me more times than I'd care to recall and the customer service is not amazing...Fanatec does have some redeeming qualities, but long term the VRS seems like the smarter choice in that price range.

Really enjoying this 2 person analysis Will! very entertaining...

Great review! I have had one for 2 months and love how user friendly it is. Also my wheels are Fanatec wheels converted to USB from Sim Racing Machines.

i got my VRS direct force pro 2 days ago. still adjusting, but can definitely recommend it for anyone who is thinking about getting into direct drive. its amazing

I’ve got a vrs dfp, have built 2 wheels on my own to keep the cost down. Super happy with the wheelbase :)

I’ve just realized how much Tom looks like Strop from the Paul Hogan Show 🤣

RE: affordable wheel rim options, VRS even made a guide with some recommendations which can be found on their website. The Polsimer and SRC wheels seem popular.

Hi, can you re-review this? They've added Static Force reduction, Slew Rate, bump stop adjustments

Thanks heaps! Got a CSW 2.5 two months ago and now I want this! You bastard! :D

I've had mine since July. Was totally worth waiting on over fanatec. Lot less stress. Also if you reverse the mounting bracket it bolts right up to simlabs mount.

Great review. Looking forward to more like this that compare the gear being reviewed with others and that put it in context with regards to price and use in different sims. As much as I like SRG’s “clinical” reviews I like this more holistic approach even better. You and Barry complement each other nicely. Would love to see you review the Accuforce.

Thank god people like you exist! xx

This is a very good and accurate review covering extensively pretty much all aspects. I'm considering this wheelbase as my next buy and find your review so much of help. Thanks. PS: it's really cute to see you working together with your brother. PPS: I too have been long thinking of a monitor with the notch for the wheelbase 😂😉

Got my VRS DFP a few weeks ago. Upgrading from a Fanatec CSL Elite. Never thought the difference would be that extreme. Best buy ever. I especially like the slim software. No tweaking, but pure driving!

How how has no one mentioned that transition to the VRS website 😳😍 20:20

and here we are in 2023! can’t believe we actually made it. 🙃 it would be great if you could revisit the entire system - the base, wheel and pedals.

Just ordered this!! So excited. Coming from a Simagic m10 which has been great, but after racing (on average) 2hrs a day for the last 6 months with it: I'm really noticing some oddities. The wheel hasn't changed, mind you. It's still what it is and a great value, but as I've gotten used to the apparent forces that it replicates, I start to notice the forces that should be there, but aren't, or that the apparent forces are a bit off. It's hard to explain.

Glad to see more coverage of this unit! Great video Will!

would be awesome for you to make an updated video on the software!

Will. Please keep making the SRG type content. Its great and very relevant. I have asked you to do this kind of thing for a while now and with your knowledge, its great!!!

Great review Will. I use a 3D printed wheel and spacer on mine, works great and kept my wheel cost down under $100.

What an awesome review! This is the wheel I'm going to go with once I retire the T300.

This is really nice how Barry really tears down the hardware while you try to spend more time in the software.

Still waiting on the openFFboard !

Awesome job!! Little disappointed you guys didn't take a few mins to research the SRM adapter for fanatec wheels or the SRC adapter for Thrustmaster wheels. both approx $100 u.s This not only broadens you wheel choices ten fold.. when you factor in places like Acelith who make replaceable face plates for existing wheels, you can customize even more. This definitely changes cost vs Fanatec dd1/dd2 and ecosystem. Otherwise again great job. Love my VRS wheel and highly reccomend.

Ahhhh so Tom's an ACC guy. Got good taste and the hair. Seriously fella's great review on this base.

Great review. Great channel. I have owned the Accuforce v2 and was overwhelmed with the software and sold it. I want to enter the DD world again and had thought SC2 Pro, but at a percentage of the cost of a SC2 Pro and performance you described I feel this may be it. Love the simplicity of the software. I already own wheels and qr system so good there. So for $600 less than the Pro and 90% of the performance, i think you made up my mind.

1hr of great Video content, i´m hyped

Thank you Guy s great job,got my direct drive pro for a week and i m very impressed very happy.

Great work guys.. This level of detailed information has been especially useful for me.. Thanks.. I will get my order in ASAP..

EMI shielding... That is the top concern in my mind. Thanks Will for showing where VRS addressed it.

Came for the review, stayed for the liquid funk

Just some intel: I rec’d mine a few weeks ago and it shipped with a euro plug so be prepared to either cut the plug and install an Aussie one or buy a cheap adapter Ps great review mate, great info!

@1:00:03 you're talking about "static forces" for the force in corners. In ACC this is adjusted with the setting "Dynamic Damping" in the Options->Controls under FFB settings. Lower the Dynamic Damping and you are lowering the cornering force and high speed force working against you rotating the wheel.

Great info! Do you run any DD wheels with IRFFB or is it unnecessary? Thanks!

Was cool how you had the other guy to help with the review. Helps to have someone else add ot the discussion sometimes.

I can be the only one who had the thought of Will "It's tinny look how small that is" thats what she said lol

I'm surprised you haven't gotten your hands on an Accuforce yet. I'd love to know your opinion on it. Hopefully sometime soon.

Got one and made my wheel and quick release system. Works great. Not any faster but enjoying the immersion more for sure. Not a fan of the iRacing FFB at all so running irFFB for wheel slip and Sop adjustments. Much more exciting.

Got the VRS DFP and use the base with the SRM Fanatec wheelbase side conversion kit what's working like a charm and allows me to keep using my Fanatec wheels that I bought from Fanatec in the past. The hardware, cables and electric box alI materials have this high quality feel and look. Coming from a CSW 2.5 the feeling in Iracing is wonderfull and cant imagine it can get any better than this feeling of Smoothness, speed and precision. My second most played sim is ACC and I'm not impressed with the VRS. I also like to play rally sims and WRC9, RBR won't work with the VRS and as mentioned by Will to get Dirt Rally2 to work you need to modify the game files. Yes I do love my VRS in Iracing and the potential is there, but I'm thinking of a change to Simucube, or go back to Fanatec just to have a more mature all-round wheelbase with better support across the different sims.

I like/want it but the problem is that doesn't work on WRC at the moment. This is what holding me back to purchase it tbh

Just got my VRS DFP wheel. I am loving it and I'm using my Thrustmaster wheels that I got the conversion kits from SRC (SIM RACING COACH).

Out of all the mini mige motors would you recommend the simucube 2 pro will? unfortunately bought a DD1 and two podium hubs and there was play in both hubs in the steering so i am getting a refund and wondering what would be the best mige to get, i can get a simucube 2 pro locally and that is looking like the best option for me.

Is the best/only option for Australia to order direct from VRS website? Have you connected it to a TR80/160 rig? I'm guessing that mount that can purchase with it probably isnt the best option with those rigs and I'd be better off getting the front mount adapter from Trak Racer? Currently only using the standard wheel plate with a G29.

Fantastic Video, when you do the update, can you also talk about rims and how to adapt them or determine compatibility with the drive? The more I look at this and the Simucube2 Pro, the more I realise that these two are probably the best value in the world of SIM racing at the moment. The new CSL DD notwithstanding.

what's the cost to get it into Oz. also it would be good to see a comparison with the accuforce. thanks guys. you are the best

awesome review ! The wire coming from the wheel. Where does that plug in ? Thanks again Will.

I don't know which one to choose, I usually only use iracing. I currently have thrustmaster TX base servo. VRS DirectForce Pro or SC 2 Pro R2. I've been reading about both for 1 week. The difference in the price is 500 EUR (with accessories and shipping 1400 SC2 Pro vs 900 VRS). If you had the money, which would they buy? Thanks for your comments

Oh, finally remember who my brain thinks doppelganger is, Danish footballer Nicklas Bentner! It has been bugging me for qutie some time.

Great review, covered the lot. Comparing to mortal DD motors (the Fanatec DDS1) is a good call too.

very detailed well done guys!

Thanks for another great review :)

Also I got stung on import duty of $300AU on my order.

Just bought a ts pc about a year ago, that was 1000 Canadian, thanks Will, thanks

This is interesting and pretty cheap for a 20nm wheel yeah pretty cool the only thing that comes close to this in terms of price to performance that i can think of is Moza R21 and it still cost a little bit more

Will I totally agree on the FFB of ACC. iRacing just feels good without having to spent hours tuning. Yet people constantly tell me that AC and ACC are way better for FFB.

Regarding of adjustments of hte filters OTG 29:00. Once you change the slide position you need to click on save button to activate the settings.

I don't understand. so the entire qr adapter and wheel is being gripped on the wheel base simply by having a piece of metal around a perfectly round shaft. I mean, no matter how much you tighten it won't there be some slipage inside during high torq scenarios ? High torq and fast movements, there has to be some slipage inside. Doesn't seems very well locked mechanism in place. Any thoughts ? or am I over thinking this, though I'm saying that from the point of view of physics.

UPDATED REVIEW VIDEO AVAILABLE HERE: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMB8Z7CBrJnKm4U.html

Don't down play it...you should get excited over technical advancements.

In the UK, the difference in price between this and the SC2 Sport is only about £200. My gut is telling me to hold out a bit longer and pay more for the SC2 Sport? How do they compare Will?

Hey Will, any chance of doing a review / how to convert the Fanatec wheels for OSWbases ? Most recent guide I can find is Sim Racing Paddock's from 2018. Love my Porsche 918 RSR wheel and would like alternates to DD1

Thank you both! Really great and helpful review.

hi guys will heeeeeeeeeeer

Nice video Will and Tom! You said that a lot of wheels you would buy for this wheelbase are expensive compared to the Fanatec wheels, but you can just use wheels from fanatec on this wheelbase right?

Hey Will, again a great review from you, great respect for your decent effort! One question, would you like to review the Simagic Alpha base? It uses servo motor with 15nm torque and lying almost the same price segment as VRS DFP, I'm very interested at these both bases.

Hey Will, what's the best way to get one of these in Australia? Loved the review mate!!

Loved the review, just picked one of these up myself actually about a month ago. Honestly i was most confused about the wheel/button box compatibility as a DD newcomer. Is your wheel connected wirelessly even with the VRS DFP? Would love to ditch the USB cable off my button box somehow through bluetooth or whatever.

U are the best, happy viewer from spain

I'm still rocking an OSW SC1 with a fanatec adapter. I'm using the BMW GT2 wheel and the formula carbon as well. Makes it super easy, I can use the QR without issue. The entire system honestly works great! I'm feeling a bit of fomo with all of these new DD systems coming out, but I've done a lot of reading and people say even the SC2 stuff is a marginal upgrade if anything.

Do you have any plans for the sparco evolve gp seat review?

I tend to change 1 setting at a time, 3 to me is too many variables 🤓

I guess my credit card will be maxing out in a few months time when I have bought that and everything else 🤣🤣

I'm a beginner, but why does the servo sticker show 10 nm instead of 20 nm on VRS DricetForce Pro?

Oh wow absolutely my favorite wheel rim on the market lol I'm sure you love it also lol

More racing please... Enough product reviews Will

What's the best Direct Drive between the VRS and the Simucube 2 Pro? Even if there is a big difference between the price of these two

How is the wheel all working properly is that different software? I managed to find the simucube 2 for just over 1k the vrs is £850 what do you think is better as an all round wheel and steering wheel compatibility?

What’s the wheel mounting system? As someone who’s moving away from a Thrustmaster base, what mount would I need for a new wheel to work with something like VRS?

Hello Boosted Media, iam confuse to not understand all english speeks in this video. Iam a hard player of ACC, i want to Switch csw2.5 to a DD but i find DD1 wasn't si impressive on few hours i test it. I search the best DD for ACC, did you recommand VRS simucube sport or may be simagic alpha (next ultimate seems good) Thx you 👌

Anyone coming from a fanatec clubsport system should hold on the their wheels and just get a SRM upgrade to them so they can continue to use their wheels on their nice shiny direct drive system. Makes the change so much cheaper.

How does it compare to the SC Pro 2? Perhaps an unfair question, but is it quite close?

I use the fanatec formula v2 wheel with the upgraded paddles and the srm adapter 👍

Can Anyone Provide Updates...This Is A Year Later Now...Is ACC Better Now Compared To When VRS DFP First Released? Thanks.

it just doesn't sit right with me that the shaft of the wheelbase is just clamped to your wheels to deliver 20 Nm of tourqe

Thx for a great review!! Do you know what the slew rate is on the VRS Direct Force?

Hi ! greeting from Chile. I would like to ask you something. I am thinking about to buy this base VRS... I would like to know what adaptor are you using for the wheel you are using, can you share a link please? I am a bit confused about the adaptor i need to use.... Or if we have some generic adapter for differents steering wheels...?? I will buy this base, but i really need to know something else about the adapter and steering wheels... Thank you !
