Ha... e podem ficar com ela de borla. E também comprar a nova versão a metade do preço...

Eu não recebi nenhum e-mail, os unicos que recebo, são de merdices de venda de viagra e cialis... mas li noutros fóruns isso.

hehe

Já se esperava isso.....

Pelos vistos tem havido malta com pouca sorte. Pelo contrário o meu volante só me tem dado alegrias. Já não o trocava por nenhum outro que conheça, mesmo os pedais depois de uma certa habituação considero-os muito melhores que os do Momo. Decerto não são comparáveis aos do G25 mas não se têm saído mal. O wireless continua a trabalhar e ainda não tive de mudar pilhas. Se dizem que durarão até às 100 horas, já não devo estar muito longe desse valor. Entretanto recebi o mail do fabricante que aqui coloco para avaliarem por vocês mesmo. Igualmente coloco a lista dos problemas resolvidos e que devem ser reflectidos no produto final. Como vêem este mail veio-me criar um novo problema: já ganhei um conjunto a preço zero e que me satisfaz inteiramente. Compro outro, um produto final e melhorado, aproveitando o preço de promoção ? É só dilemas :bigsmile:

Passo a transcrever o mail:

"It has been quiet in the last weeks but we were working hard to implement all the great feedback and suggestions for improvements.

I am happy to announce that all critical problems are solved and we also were able to turn almost all of your suggestions for improvements into reality.

Attached you find a list of all the changes and improvements we will make for the mass production which will start in April. You will also see the new metal table clamp for base and shifters and the steel plate for the pedals.

We made about 40 (!) changes to the wheel and I am sure you will like the final product. Especially the pedals got a complete re-design. If everything goes smoothly the wheels arrive in Europe and USA at the end of April. There is also a new driver (048).


The end of the beta test is coming up and we originally asked you to return the wheel or pay for it. We did not expect that we get such a great response from the community and so many fantastic and professional test reports.

I would like to thank you by giving you the wheel you have for FREE! No need to return or pay for it.

But what if you want to get all the benefits of the final product?

I would like to make you a special offer: You can purchase the final production unit with a 50% discount! That means instead of 300? you only pay 150? (plus shipping as tax if applicable, as mentioned in the webshop)


You will get TWO wheels for half the price of one wheel.


Please note:
- If you sell the current wheel, please clearly mention that it is a test unit without warranty.
- Please understand that we cannot give you any warranty on the Beta wheel or upgrade it.


If you take our offer, it would be great if you would update your current test review and report about the final wheel so the user gets the right impression.

Many people were reading your reviews and comments so it would be great if you let them know about all the improvements we made.

If you made a Youtube video about a bug of the Beta wheel: Please delete the video. Thanks.

The new wheel can be ordered at our webshop from March 31st until April 6th as the quantity is limited. (perhaps earlier if we get the voucher system implemented earlier)"

Eu como não quero comprar, cedo de bom grado esta opção a quem o quiser.

Interessados, mandem mail, ou pm.

Á letra o meu relatório acerca do volante da Fanatec

Antes de mais e para reforçar a qualidade do produto, tenho usado o volante quase diariamente e sempre a abusar em todos os aspectos, e até agora só me tem dado satisfação, pois já me habituei!:blink1:E estou constantemente a bater os meus próprios records pela qualidade e sensibilidade que se consegue para os pequenos movimentos!

Aqui está para quem quizer ler, mas não me peçam para traduzir!:biggrinbandit:

"After more than 1 month
Submitted by luisviveiros on Mon, 04/14/2008 - 00:14.

After more than 1 month testing hard the wheel specialy in RBR i can say this piece of hardware is very good!

I found the best setting to be:

FFB - 33 to 66% no need to use 100% as it will breack your table :D

Wheel at 360º but in the setup use the same degrees, i don´t know why but it works better if both places use the same value, in game i use 540º, if i use more the wheel gets too "turny" and you´ll need lots of harm-job to balance the car on hairpins, if i use less the little turn will give too much turn on wheels and you will get off the road very easily.

On SENS i use it at 33 or off. de only think i found a little unreal (due to old phisics in RBR, against new FF technology on 911) is that the turns of the wheel doesn´t feel real versus reaction of the car, it doesn´t feel progressive, as it is on GTR2 or GTLegends, that "what you turn is what you get" in RBR i can´t feel it, maybe because i have delectec input_filter.ini from the game to achieve more direct sensation on wheel turning on my old Sidewinder.

Maybe in a new driver there could be addeed some sensitive interface to this cases whem the game itself doesn´t provide de sensitivity on the center of the wheel!

I have already used 8 bateries, and now i only use the cable as it is safer to avoid disconection on low bateries, the cable is just enough, but would be better with 50cm more, and the connection plug on the same side for both components.

Another thing i would add it is the possibility to use both "H" patern and sequencial shifter, at same time beacuse like that we can simulate the hand-break in GTLegends or Richard Burns Rally.

Due to great wheel inside engine, the wheel turns itselfe heavy to turn, even without any FFB, i know it is impossible to change it because it uses a belt drive instead of the usual plastic gear wheels, but it would be nice to have it lighter.

After all this testing the pedal set shown as very acurate, the break was never an issue because like modern cars with progressive breaking, the progress distance breaking on pedal is only 3 or 4cm, like in my car. The clutch is a little too hard but once abain it depends on experience driving real cars, on this set it looks like my other car, a pick-up 4x4, on the other hand the accelerator should be a little harder, because with hard shoes we don´t feel the pedal.

The shifters give a good shifting feeling, although the use of ruber or leather would increase that feeling, i know it is already on development this addon to final version!

As for the shifter suports, two massive inox bars would be enough to hold any shifter witout problems, instead of the tubes that even not bending too much ar too weak to a hard-core player, the new fixing system to the table is good looking, i made myself one too,a little different from the drawing already shown, and at now i´m making a new one on steel that holds both shifters in a very close to reality position, and it alows the wheel to also slide to adjust not only inclination but also its high, to give the correct above neck position.

The presentation boxe of the wheel is great, with subtle choise of colors, that increase the quality look of the product inside. It was well packed and safely packed, to avoid wheel issues to mal-transportation.

To complete this resumen i would just say that i don´t doubt to say that at this moment i would buy this wheel conparing it with closest competicion wheels on market, in terns of cost, because we get a complete set for a resonable price.

The 300€ some say it is too much for country like Portugal, because the average salaries are around 500€, but for most european countries it is a very cheap wheel for the quality you get for your money!

Finalmente hoje o LED do volante indicou bateria fraca nos pedais. Com os mesmos a funcionar desde 8 de Fevereiro, duraram bastante (cerca de 3 meses), calculo que terão "batalhado" entre as 80 e as 90 horas, perto do que indica o fabricante (100 h). Apesar do aviso, está a funcionar e ainda não se queixaram. Estou convertido ao wireless pois não tive problemas durante todo este tempo.
Estou curioso. Quantos dos testers ficaram com volante ao serviço?

[Alexandre Caetano]

Tendo em vista que eles devem vender mais Porsches em Portugal que em muitos países da UE, em termos populativos, eles devem ficar muito atentos a isso...
