TS-PC Racer or CSL Elite wheel?

Adding to your "feel through the wheel" discussion on weight, diameter etc.: I think this is no black magic.

The torque of the wheel calculates into the force perceived in your hands:

F = M x r

This goes for all wheels, light and heavy.

The wheel's mass will influence its moment of inertia, though:

J = m x r²

J increases with mass. A higher J basically means that it takes more effort to change the state of the system. Examples: to bring the wheel into movement from a stationary state or to bring it from a state of rotation back to steady.

My conclusion is that a heavier wheel will have the same steady force as a lighter one. But the heavier wheel will be more lenient to change it's state. There will be a longer delay until an FFB event gets to your hands and it'll feel more "weighty".

 

Torque = J x α². (which you called F, Torque = Force x distance; F = M x r)
So, as you said, if you have more mass, you have greater rotational inertia(polar moment of inertia).
This increase in J alone (keeping other variables constant) will increase your torque which, by consequence, will increase the force needed to rotate the rim with the same response from the steering system(same angular acceleration).
From the ffb motor's reference : Again Torque = J x α².
This means that if you keep increasing the weight, and therefore the J, the wheel will keep delivering a higher torque(and force) until the point where it reaches it's maximum torque .
From this moment on, the wheel will keep the torque (and force) constant, at the cost of having to decrease it's angular acceleration to keep up with the increase in J at this maximum (constant) torque, which will cause a bad responsiveness. (the car will be far gone when you notice the feedback of a slide, for example).

Basically when you say: "The heavier wheel will be more lenient to change it's state", you're saying: "The heavier wheel needs a higher force, thus, higher torque to change it's state". This will cease to happen when we reach a stage where maximum torque(either from your arms or from the motor) was achieved; then, the responsiveness ( angular acceleration)will start to decrease and the force will be constant, as I try to explain below:

== Saying the force is constant is only correct when maximum torque is achieved.(Because either your arms or the motor will be delivering their maximum possible torque, but since the mass and thus the J increased, the acceleration imposed by this constant maximum force from your arms or the motor will have to be smaller).
But before this (while the engine still has torque(power) capabilities), actually the higher the mass, the higher the torque and the force. ==

Hope I haven't confused you guys even more.

 

so just running, what I run a lot at the weekend with the t300, ie zolder with the merc. Yes more lower end torque and detail. I haven't even got any min torgue on either unlike the t300. Feels a lot more signal so to speak and the Ferrari wheel is just awesome......well being a 488 replica it should do! The alcantra has the new car smell I love it...
One question how do I get the LEDS to work in ACC?

so who wants my t300?

 

I can give you a feedback regarding the TS-PC.

I literally plugged in and start enjoying the FFB

Strong and detailed. This is what you need.
