Here is a small explanation what has been changed to the Drift Mode of the new ClubSport Wheel Base 2.5 / CSL E WB+ (PS4 version) and which new feature is "hidden" there:
|
|
CSW V2 / CSL E WB |
CSW V2.5 / CSL E WB+ (PS4) |
Notes |
|
Standard electric motor damper |
DRI OFF |
DRI -5 |
Best for most games/simulations. Feels identical on both wheel bases |
|
Reduced electric motor damper |
n.a. |
DRI -4 -> DRI -1 (new!) |
Can eventually cause problems (oscillations in games which do NOT support “low drag” wheels) |
|
Electric motor damper turned off |
n.a |
DRI OFF (new!) |
WILL cause problems (oscillations) in games which do NOT support “low drag” (like DD) wheels |
|
“Classic” Fanatec Drift Mode |
DRI 1-5 |
DRI 1-5 |
Will speed up/accelerate your wheel movements and reduce the dampening – just like power steering |
DRI OFF now has NO dampening at all. Works similar to a direct drive wheel which has no mechanical resistance. If there is no FFB effect there will be no force/dampening from the motor and electronics in the wheel. That can cause problems in games if they are not optimized. DRI -5 is the safe setting now (for the CSW V2.5) as it was “OFF” in the CSW V2.
Differences to the CSW V2 / CSL E WB:
At the time the CSW V2 (and original CSL Elite Wheel Base) was developed it was not possible to create a dynamic/variable motor damper into the motor driver. To develop this features we had to design a completely new motor electronics which is driven by a logical processor and has its own firmware which is programmable/updateable. Since the combination of having NO electronic damper and hardly any mechanical dampening in the (v-belt drive) system causes problems, like wheel oscillations on straights, in most games, using this static electrical damper in the CSW V2 was a MUST. The drift mode helps to keep the effect of this damper as minimal as possible. DRI3 should be a good compromise in most games for the CSW V2 to make the wheel turn easy and freely.
IF oscillations are happening within any game...reduce the DRI value to -5 (CSW V2.5) or to OFF (CSW V2) again.
