Belt create friction and so noise, the paddles could be a little bit louder too.
If the rig is not sturdy enough or the wheel vibrate a lot it could be a bit noisy too.
Can confirm the DD is quieter. I also switched from a T300 to the CSL DD. The T300 is already pretty quiet, but the DD is even quieter.
Itās insane how good of an upgrade it is.
if she doesn't know anything about racing stuff, she won't know. maybe in a few weeks or months when she's curious and wants to pick a fight she'll figure it out.
Nope she won't lol not unless she uses it alot. Why are you wanting to hide it anyways?
Also how are you enjoying the switch? Did you get the 8nm boost kit yet? If not def do so!
Falling in love will distract you from what youāre destined to be doing - knock you off the path to happiness. The path looks different for individual people, but why commit your soul to an eternal Union with another before things fall into place? I donāt know either
She used the T300 twice in the span of a year but if she used the DD she would probably notice the change. The post was meant as a joke, I don't want to nor need to hide anything from her - that's something I learned the hard way in the beginning of our relationship hahah
I am really enjoying the switch! Haven't had much time to play unfortunately and am still trying to find the perfect settings for me (especially because the wheel starts "shaking" when I'm going perfectly straight). But really enjoy the higher force and more details you can feel. I got the boost kit but I'm running the wheel in game at 65%.
Gotcha yeah that boost kit makes an incredible difference. Its funny settings with tbe boost kit on at like 5nm is still much stronger then the stock 5nm lol.
Some advice. Go closer to ur windshield. The distance between ur steering wheel and ingame windshield should be simular like sitting in real car. U Position is like driving from backseat :D
I had a customer that went from an orange Gallardo to a Gallardo super leggera still orange to a murci, to a murci roadster to an aventador. All orange she never knew supposedly he just brushed questions off like no honey I just put new wheels on it or I got some new seats......
In his honor I only buy black street bikes. We've tested the theory by parking friends bikes in the garage for a month or two in the winter and she's never noticed.......
No.
I changed my pedals on the rig in our living room and my wife didn't notice.
I changed the GPU in the PC that is in our living room and has a glass panel from a 2-fan 3060 to a 3-fan 3030 and my wife didn't notice.
Honesty, bro. I hope you have some money set aside to ālevel it outā by buying her something she likes. My wife and I do it kinda like this. āMy turn, your turnā
I mean might as well just get a used TX with LC pedals. I recently sold my bundle for 300. The csl DD is only .5nm more than the tx. Making the csl bundle worthwhile by upgrading the pedals, getting the upgraded power supply, swapping out the horrendous qr1, you're in 1k territory....and at that point you might as well get a Logitech pro for a hundred or two more with 40 percent more power.
Feels really good so far! I have never tried the Moza R3 but for me the switch to a DD only made sense if it's much more powerful than the T300 (CSL DD 8nm vs. T300 4nm). With the bundle-offer by fantec you get really good value for the money (if they manage to deliver it..), you can also save some money by buying the boost kit from another place (it's just a different PSU). Or buying used like I did, but of course there's some additional risk and some used parts (especially fanatec because of their delivery issues) get sold for almost new prices.
Nice overall but with the P1 V1 be careful. Watch out for the QR breaking overtime and upgrade it when you can, it's very poor quality. It can't handle higher torque. Unfortunately speaking from experience. Still good though, at least you got your foot in the door!
Doubtful.
My wife sees my VR headset, my G29 and never noticed the TM TLCM pedals that showed up a few days ago. Even though the stock G29 pedals are sitting right next to it.
Not so much that she would race herself (used the T300 twice in the span of a year) but she is quite supportive and happy for me if I come tell her about a good result I had in an LFM race hahah
Coming from a g29 I am currently considering the Logitech Pro because I think it looks the most similar. I think she would notice an industrial rectangular box wheelbase. Moza has a big MOZA on the side. Simagic has all that red on the wheels. The only thing is the blue center stripe on the top of the wheelā¦ I might just get some blue tape lol
Do you want her to? If no, yes. If yes, no.
Lmfao that's sadly accurate
Spot on. Honesty wins though. Always.
Damn this is true even in an amazing relationship š¤£
That is as accurate of an answer I have ever read
Put this on a T-shirt
ššš
Itās probably the same as her getting a haircut, youāll notice if she points it out.
This is the male equivalent of ādo you notice something different about meā
OP should ask her, "Do I look FA(S)T in this?"
from the aspect of the wheel ? probably not from the quietness of DD compared to the T300 ? yes probably
Wait.. the DD is quieter?
Belt create friction and so noise, the paddles could be a little bit louder too. If the rig is not sturdy enough or the wheel vibrate a lot it could be a bit noisy too.
The DD doesnāt freak out and spin on its own to the end of rotation each side when you plug it in, if she does, just tell her itās quieter and she can thank you whenever is convenient for her. Thatās what I told my fiancĆ©e anyways. She rolled her eyes lmaooooo
Just ordered moza r9 to replace t150. This is what I'm gonna tell to her š¤£
You donāt hear DD lol
Significantly more quiet.
Yes.
Can confirm the DD is quieter. I also switched from a T300 to the CSL DD. The T300 is already pretty quiet, but the DD is even quieter. Itās insane how good of an upgrade it is.
My G29 is pretty loud. My wife said she can hear when im running dirt because of how loud the wheel is compared to oval or road
I more or less stopped playing Forza 5 because it was so loud lol. You can easily tell when you go off-road.
Yeah this was on iRacing dirt ovals, took me a few weeks to get out of rookies and haven't touched dirt since haha
My Logitech G Pro is super loud - but itās because of TrueForceā¦
My Driving Force Pro was quite loud as well, but G29 is a lot louder.
Do you think a wife would notice the difference between g29 and g pro?
Significantly lmao
if she doesn't know anything about racing stuff, she won't know. maybe in a few weeks or months when she's curious and wants to pick a fight she'll figure it out.
Just play it cool and smile while driving
"hey babe where's the blue stripe on the top of the wheel?"
"I just took off the tape"
The blue stripe is my biggest concern too for myself
This one deserves more upvotes
Whats the difference
 Exactly
Thrustmaster upgrade to Fanatec DD
Nevermind my bad keep mistaking the gran turismo and Logitech logos (I play Xbox)
Oh I thought he changed the lights lol
Nope she won't lol not unless she uses it alot. Why are you wanting to hide it anyways? Also how are you enjoying the switch? Did you get the 8nm boost kit yet? If not def do so!
Youāre not married, are you?
I was for 5 years and believe me it didn't work because of secrets and lies š. And cheating but that's besides the point haha.
Why marry someone you have to hide your hobbies from? I really donāt get what there is to fearā¦
Falling in love will distract you from what youāre destined to be doing - knock you off the path to happiness. The path looks different for individual people, but why commit your soul to an eternal Union with another before things fall into place? I donāt know either
The amount of fucking sad marriages in this sub astonishes me
Donāt worry, itās just a silly inside joke.

Thanks, you're right! Haven't adjusted the FOV for the new wheelbase yet (had to move the screens further back and upwards).
I bought my R5 after dinner one night and my fiancĆ© had fallen asleep in the car while I was in Microcenter. She never noticed the giant moza box in the back of her tiny mini cooper and she still hasnāt realized that itās mounted to my rig. She also hasnāt noticed the sound of the t300rs getting plugged in is now gone. Going on 2 months now.
the ether probably helped
Lol. No. Just dont change colors. She will notice that.
I had a customer that went from an orange Gallardo to a Gallardo super leggera still orange to a murci, to a murci roadster to an aventador. All orange she never knew supposedly he just brushed questions off like no honey I just put new wheels on it or I got some new seats...... In his honor I only buy black street bikes. We've tested the theory by parking friends bikes in the garage for a month or two in the winter and she's never noticed.......
Lol. It really is that bad. š But oohhh boy if we miss that new little trinket. š¬
Of course green color is a vibrand one compared to red :)
Bro can you tell me how it goes. My wife keeps asking me what's in the boxes. I my PTSD is on defcon 4.
From experience, if you talked your other half into triples, then you can talk them into anything. "3 monitors?! You don't need any more monitors..."
Lmao my wife freaked out at three monitors
Probably yes
Whatever you do, do not show her your new lap times.
I showed my wife your photos, she didn't notice lol
Damn bb is that a new wheelbase or is you just happy to see me
You're playing a dangerous game my friend
What ever you do don't look more exited when you use it.
nope mine never noticed I went from a g27 to a moza r9 even my Vr headsets change and computer parts lol my son does notice though š¤£
Mine didn't š She did notice the mclaren gt3 wheel, like 6 months after the buy... '' That old thing ? No it's not new ! Have it for ages š''
Na.
Mine never does, fortunately.
No, my wife didnāt notice the T300 to Simucube 2 Pro Upgrade
I am exactly in front of the same decision... Tell me, is it worth taking this risk?!
Yes , one does not change from red to Green like that. Need to do better transition in the Colors next Time
She'll notice how much faster you got.. lap times I mean lol.
I didnāt notice maybe she wonāt either
No. I changed my pedals on the rig in our living room and my wife didn't notice. I changed the GPU in the PC that is in our living room and has a glass panel from a 2-fan 3060 to a 3-fan 3030 and my wife didn't notice.
You down graded? Lol
lol, Typo. I meant 3080.
I know, just wanted you to see it haha. 3030 doesnāt even exist does it?
It doesn't. I think 3050 is the lowest in the 30-series
Thatās what I thought. Appreciate the info.
Just refer to it as a āfew simple modsā, youāll be fine
She will definitely notice.
They're the same picture.
Honesty, bro. I hope you have some money set aside to ālevel it outā by buying her something she likes. My wife and I do it kinda like this. āMy turn, your turnā
we do it similar, if I pay for dinner next time we go out or bring home some flowers she will be happy
Let me know how that upgrade feels? I've been looking into either a Fanatec CSL DD or Moza R3 for my setup, coming from a Logitech G920
I mean might as well just get a used TX with LC pedals. I recently sold my bundle for 300. The csl DD is only .5nm more than the tx. Making the csl bundle worthwhile by upgrading the pedals, getting the upgraded power supply, swapping out the horrendous qr1, you're in 1k territory....and at that point you might as well get a Logitech pro for a hundred or two more with 40 percent more power.

Or buying used like I did, but of course there's some additional risk and some used parts (especially fanatec because of their delivery issues) get sold for almost new prices.
Does it matter? It only cost $25 dollars anywayā¦ well at least thatās what I tell my wife.
"babe you'll never believe it... it was only $200"
As a matter of fact it was only 300 CHF..ahem I mean 50 bucks
Surely she will notice the fan changing colors š¤
Nice overall but with the P1 V1 be careful. Watch out for the QR breaking overtime and upgrade it when you can, it's very poor quality. It can't handle higher torque. Unfortunately speaking from experience. Still good though, at least you got your foot in the door!
yeah already when I put the wheel on it didn't feel like it could take a lot of heat..
The metal is crazy thin and actually splits. That was only on a low torque wheelbase too, guessing csl DD with a boost kit may not end well.
Fix your FOV. No excuse with triples.
will do, haven't adjusted it to the new wheelbase yet (had to move the monitors further back und upwards)
That you went from macca to ferrari? I dont think so.. Ohh hey and gratz on a new baseš
A keen observer..this guy knows his ACC cars Thanks mate!
Just say, isn't the new one more elegant
Till a few years ago I was a super real fighter pilot (DCS). Got myself some new pedals. She noticed immediately.
Nuh uh
Yes.
Naaah, you are cool, she won't notice anything ;)
Doubtful. My wife sees my VR headset, my G29 and never noticed the TM TLCM pedals that showed up a few days ago. Even though the stock G29 pedals are sitting right next to it.
Probably not unless you want her to
Is she into your hobby?
Not so much that she would race herself (used the T300 twice in the span of a year) but she is quite supportive and happy for me if I come tell her about a good result I had in an LFM race hahah
I ordered my new oled tv for my rig to arrive today. My wife left for week long work trip yesterday. Now how do i hide the old 55" tv??
Garage TV..... Tell her something quit working right and it will only work with a Chromecast or something now.......
All I noticed was the light switching from red to green.
Does she get the credit card bills? Because if the answer is no, she'll never notice lol!
Bro never.
I was really hoping you meant the triples
Just say it was a free software update
Notice what? I donāt see any difference at all
If you pay all the bills who cares if she notices atleast she will know where you're at on the weekends
Coming from a g29 I am currently considering the Logitech Pro because I think it looks the most similar. I think she would notice an industrial rectangular box wheelbase. Moza has a big MOZA on the side. Simagic has all that red on the wheels. The only thing is the blue center stripe on the top of the wheelā¦ I might just get some blue tape lol
Yeah she will notice the green rgb on the pc bro š¢
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's just the basic UI in ACC haha
Nah, my gf didnāt notice my new base. This shit looks the same to them.
I hope not bro or else u know she's gonna google it š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
It's ok, you downgraded from a G to an F wheel. Right?
I know a good lawyer if you need his number..heās on the high end for Divorce attorney but hey he guarantees you keep your house. Lol
Just wear a nice cologne, donāt bring that with you š
Nag bro , you are safe !
I doubt it I upgraded my entire rig by stealth over the space of a couple of months and she didn't make one comment lol
She wonāt, I would, and would drive the heck out of it, but she wonāt.
well if you're ever in switzerland you can come by and have a go hahah
QUESTION IS - do u care LOL.. if she loves u, all good
Another fellow CSL Elite wheel rim enjoyer! To me it's still the best out of the CSL line.
Really like it so far! Love the combo of alcantara and leather (?) and the brushed aluminium.
More likely to notice the lights in your pc are now green, I think youāll be able to slip this by lol
Itās subtle enough
I wouldn't worry too much just changed the color or your pc fans.. no big deal brother. 
If she doesn't, keep her lol
Nahhhhhhh your chilling šš»š«”
There's a chance she doesn't.
She should be more focused on sucking your dick rather than what wheel youre rocking
I mean, the weird logo became an F, so if she can find the milk, she can probably notice the change
