McLaren GT3 gaming wheel is a stunning replica. Full-sized GT3 rim arrives for #Xbox and PC >>
Force feedback steering wheels are brilliant and absolutely enrich the experience of playing racing games. The problem is, they tend to have a modest diameter and toy-like quality that leaves people thinking you’ve blown hundreds of pounds on the equivalent of a Fisher Price Activity Centre. We’ll admit, the brightly coloured buttons don’t help.
Fanatec’s new McLaren GT3 rim for Xbox and PC, however, looks like it was ripped directly from the mitts of our own Chris Harris mid-stint at the Spa 24 Hours. The Fanatec CSL Elite Steering Wheel McLaren GT3, to give it its full title, is a convincing life-sized replica of the steering wheel from the McLaren 650S GT3 racer and would look just as good on the mantlepiece as it does clamped to your computer desk.
Wrap your paws around the rubberised grips and it also feels every bit the part with chunky anodised aluminium shifter paddles that are endlessly pleasing to tug and a cornucopia of buttons, rotary switches and toggles that all click into place with a deeply satisfying action. Even when you’re just sitting in a loading screen you’ll find yourself idly twiddling and prodding things just for the tactile kicks.
In particular, the neutral and pit limiter buttons apparently have the same raised bevel and stiff resistance as the real thing, ensuring you don’t, for example, accidentally zero the gearbox in the middle of a fast right-hander. A pair of springy analogue clutch paddles allow for realistic launches, but can also be reconfigured to act as clutch and handbrake or even throttle and brake, if for whatever reason you’re unable to use the pedals. The wheel’s also also surprisingly light, in spite of its proportions, meaning the only forces you’re wrestling with are the ones being transmitted from the simulation itself.
In order to use this McLaren rim at all, though, you’ll need some of the existing Fanatec equipment, namely a separate wheelbase (containing the force feedback motor) and some pedals. This wheel is compatible with the Clubsport V2, V2.5 and the CSL Elite wheelbases, and our CSL Elite model offers arm-wrenchingly robust but unerringly smooth force feedback that deftly avoids the slightly buzzy or notchy feel we’re used to on other wheels. We’re also a fan of the authentically blinding shift lights. Our optometrist? Less keen.
Be warned, Fanatec gear isn’t exactly cheap. Our setup, including the McLaren GT3 rim itself will set you back just north of £500 when it goes on sale in early June, but everything feels reassuringly well-engineered and there’s a lot to be said for the psychological effect of having a full-sized race wheel in your hands. The thing was designed based on McLaren’s own CAD files, so if the goal is increased authenticity and immersion, it doesn’t get a lot better than this.
Granted, it feels a bit weird when you’re driving anything other than a McLaren, but that’s fine because in our head we’ve just signed on as a factory driver and our modestly-sized computer room has now been rechristened ‘The Technology Centre’. When Fernando Alonso’s finally tired of slogging around in the Formula One midfield, we’ll be ready…
力反馈方向盘非常出色，绝对丰富了玩赛车游戏的体验。问题是，他们往往有一个适中的直径和玩具般的质量，让人们认为你已经赚了几百英镑，相当于一个费舍尔价格活动中心。我们承认，鲜艳的按钮不起作用。
Fanatec为Xbox和PC推出的全新迈凯轮GT3轮圈看起来好像是直接从我们自己的Chris Harris在Spa 24小时的中间环节上撕下的。 Fanatec CSL精英方向盘迈凯轮GT3以其完整的称号，是迈凯轮650S GT3赛车手的方向盘的令人信服的真人大小复制品，并且在夹持到电脑桌上时，看起来就像握住主持人一样优秀。
将你的爪子裹在涂胶的手柄周围，它也感觉到每一个部分都带有厚重的阳极氧化铝制变速拨片，它们无休止地令人满意，还有一个按钮，旋转开关和拨动开关，它们都以令人满意的动作点击到位。即使你只是坐在装载屏幕上，你也会发现自己只是为了触觉踢就溜溜地刺激。
特别是，中性和凹坑限位器按钮显然与真实情况具有相同的凸起斜面和坚硬的阻力，例如，确保您不会将变速箱意外地置于快速右旋中间位置。一对弹性模拟离合器拨片允许逼真的启动，但如果出于任何原因无法使用踏板，也可重新配置为用作离合器和手刹，甚至是油门和制动器。尽管轮子的比例很大，但轮子的重量也非常轻，这意味着你正在摔跤的唯一力量就是从模拟本身传来的力量。
然而，为了使用这款迈凯伦轮圈，您需要一些现有的Fanatec设备，即单独的轴距（包含力反馈电机）和一些踏板。该车轮与Clubsport V2，V2.5和CSL Elite车座兼容，我们的CSL Elite车型提供了手臂强劲而平稳的力反馈，可灵巧避免我们在其他车轮上使用的轻微嗡嗡或不协调的感觉。我们也是真正致盲的换档灯的粉丝。我们的验光师？不那么热衷。
被警告，Fanatec齿轮并不是很便宜。我们的设置，包括迈凯轮GT3的轮圈本身，在6月初发售时会在500英镑以北，但所有的设备都令人放心，设计精良，并且有很多值得称道的是，大小的赛车轮在你手中。这件事是基于迈凯轮自己的CAD文件设计的，所以如果目标是增加真实性和沉浸感，那么它并没有比这更好。
当然，当你驾驶除迈凯轮以外的其他赛车时，感觉有点奇怪，但这很好，因为在我们的脑海中，我们刚刚以工厂车手的身份登录，而我们的中等大小的计算机室现在已被重新命名为'技术中心”。当费尔南多·阿隆索终于厌倦了在F1中场肆虐的时候，我们会准备好...... |
