The only thing I’d suggest is linking Barry’s newer review of the accuforce v2 where he seems to think it’s improved since the V1 and suggests the software has improved the wheel overall .
SimRacing604 no problem! He seems to really enjoy driving it in that review. He also seems to be wrestling pretty hard with it in the drive segment of the review.
I have an original V1 Accuforce DD wheel, which i brought used ages ago and its never missed a beat and it still feels as solid as it ever has. I would also highly recommend this base as its a complete turn key solution.
have had mine for about 1 year and I also love it. Enough strength and great price. Also for me the sim commander have saved raceroom's FFB, using the foundation setting r3e feels really great.
Great review. It's always great to see someone happy with their purchase. I almost bought one a year ago! Couldn't bring myself to tolerate the phone cord between the wheel and base though, so it was a no-go in the end.
@@SimRacing604 With the flimsiness of my temporary cockpit, Mike, it's safe to say your setup would presently feel at least 400% better, haha. Time for us to sell out to Fanatec and rock some not-at-all-excessive DD2s!
Sweet! Maybe make a video talking about the differences with direct drive and belt driven wheels? I have the T300RS and would love to hear your thoughts on how they differ in your experience.
Trustern I have a buddy with a T300RS and is trying to use it with Project Cars 2 and can’t get it to steer, also the FFB will not work. Are you using your wheel with Project Cars 2 and if so how did you get it to work correctly?
@@Randarino Google is your friend but I was able to use my T300 with PC 2 just fine (for the week that I owned the T300 before returning it that is) just make sure that you're updating all drivers and assigning the controls In game.
The sim commander software was what sold me on the accuforce. Some sims/games just have FFB that is lacking and leaves you disappointed with them and wanting more. With Sim Commanders telemetry based force feedback you have the ability to dial in something that you can not only be satisfied with but possibly even impressed with. It may be slightly down on power compared to a small MiGE but it’s pretty close and I’d never use 100% of the accuforce strength anyways. I’ll take the expanded ability to tune to my liking instead.
I think I’m going to do a project soon and take a clock spring for an airbag and make it work for a button box cable. Never have to worry about twisting cables again.
I have a TSPC wheel and actually its been giving me some fits with ACC so with working some more OT I was going to get the F1 esports wheel(belt) from Fanatec to go along with the CSL Elite LC pedals but then a little bird said "hey that 604 guy has a direct drive vid, go check it out!" so thanks for the review Mike as I may just invest in this.
Great mini review Mike. I agree also about SimXperience customer support, for myself, it's been great. When I ordered my V2, I had asked for a wheel substitute to the Duramold wheel, when I got the wheel, I got the Alcantara (I really dislike the feel of alcantara), I took a picture, emailed their support, and a week later I had my duramold wheel and got to keep the Alcantara wheel. I'm very impressed with the package as a whole and the Duramold wheel seems to have even better FF feel do to not having as much soft padding as the Alcantara wheel. :)
I believe the review you mentioned by Barry, he was reviewing the V1. He couldn't get it dialed in, and that was his main complaint. He said that was resolved w/ V2, he did a new video. Seemed to really like it, probably would still recommend the others if price was not the issue.
After nearly a 3 month wait, I finally got one! And it is amazing! I got the plastic handled formula rim as well, but I am not crazy about it. Accuforce recently released the alcantara version of that, in case you didn't know. I don't care for that material (personal preference to be sure) myself, and would prefer rubber grips. However, the new cloud tuning works great and makes this unit pretty much plug and play. I love it!
Good advice on what looks like a good product. One small issue (not sure if you are aware), they are out of stock of mostly everything. I was looking into getting an Accuforce DDW when you talked about it months ago. long before the pandemic hit and they were back ordered then. I contacted them and they had stopped production for whatever reason. But would start again soon, then, the pandemic hit. And no one else sells their products (Amazon, etc.). Mike if you have more info than that, like when they are going to start production again or if they have already, please let us (me) know. I still want this wheel. It is a great price for what you get.
Hi 369darkknight. I ordered my AF V2 Pro in January, took roughly 5 weeks to get it, their estimate when I ordered was 5 to 8 weeks. Yes, the wait can be annoying but well worth it once you get the thing. It's been rock solid and like Mike's review states, a great wheel package for the price.
I got my used AccuForce V1 about 6 months ago after I upgrades my pedals to a set of Heusinkvelds because everybody says that's the right order to upgrade. I'm sure that true and the pedals are great but the AccuForce is the item that brings a smile on my face whenever I drive. When I drive the 962 in Assetto Corsa and really boost the ffb you will be sweating after a couple of laps. Everybody says Fanatec DD bases are better and I believe them but at the pricepoint of the AccuForce the options fully configured (with wheel) have a pretty massive price difference and the question is if that's gap is worth it. AccuForce is a great option, especially if you live in the US.
How much did you buy it for? I might get a simagic or accuforce but still £800 is a little too much so I want to know the prices of the second hand market.
Can you make a video or share your settings for rf2. I got the v2 this week and I've been having trouble only in rf2 with this wheel, and my g25, for the past couple of weeks. I've tried editing the json file, fidled with settings in sc4 but nothing seems to be working, I'm kind of getting lost and frustrated
Nice balanced review Mike, and you support your enthusiasm with directly relevant experience. $1400 Cdn is a bit of a gulp, but at least now I know which DD should be top of my list when I reach the point of upgrading from my T300. At the moment, it will be pedals first.
Hi Mike, I think this is a great wheelbase and I did a lot of research on this one. I was comparing this and the Simagic M10, and the m10 won out because it's bluetooth and there's no cord. Either choice is ideal to get into sim racing proper, and you'll probably never have to upgrade. My advice to players who don't own a dd wheel yet, is to save up for one of these bundles, they are so worth it, and it DOES change the driving and emmersion experience tenfold. I also use the v3 inverted pedals (excellent gear), and again, you'll never need an upgrade. Great channel, excellent vid, take care from a fellow Cdn and simracer. Well done.
Thanks Mike. I’ve been going back and forth over whether or not to buy it for couple of months now. This video convinced me to pull the trigger. I’m sure I won’t regret it, but I told my wife that it’s your fault. I hate to throw you under the bus like that, but I’m genuinely terrified of her!!! She doesn’t know where you live so you “should” be fine.
Thank you, and I would gladly share the settings, but unfortunately I haven’t used my AccuForce in a long time. If you search SimCommander for “SimRacing604”, you should see some of my past configurations.
Hi Mike, Nice review, the only drawback of the simxperience is that they do not have dealerships in Europe. If I want to buy the Gt steering wheel for $ 80 I have to pay almost three times as much for the transportation costs. Then it is far too expensive to ship from the USA. Too bad, Josh emailed that he wanted to find a cheaper carrier, but that was only $ 20 cheaper. But the v2 is a fantastic system, I am very happy with it. regards Peter Vink.
I wish accuforce would make a v3 model that removes the cons that the v2 model has when compared to Simucube and Fanatec because Sim Commander is so damn good.
Great video man. Too many shills trying to sell you gear they got for free from the manufacturer. Refreshing to see an actual customer talking about a product.
Hey Mike, I have my Accuforce V2 on order and have a question for you. I noticed you are running it on a NLR chassis. I also have the NLR GT Ultimate. How is it for flex? Did you have to strengthen the chassis in any way? If so can you explain what you had to do please.
My GT Track doesn’t flex considerably with a DD wheel. If you look closely at this video you can see a tiny bit of movement, but not enough to be a factor
Thanks for this. I have to get pedals before getting a new wheelbase. Yes, I'm going to get an Accuforce. I like the music you used for this video. I've heard another channel use it, but he didn't talk over the song. Not saying that you telling us about the wheel is a bad thing. I just now have the urge to watch the other video now. LOL.
I too switched from my trusty TX to a DD wheel (sim-plicity SW8C+) this month, and I was pleasantly surprised how big the margin between those wheels is. In fact driving a DD wheel almost feels like cheating, because I was able to catch so many drifts I wouldn't have saved with the TX due to its higher inertia. :-) Regarding the long cord: I've been using a custom built rim with USB connector since I had by TX base, and I did the same I saw at many other sim racer setups: Just wind the cord around the axis once in center position. That way it will still stretch enough to both sides, but won't tangle up with the shifter paddles or your hands.
Turning to you because I can't get info from anyone else, or no one seems to have experienced this problem. I recently purchased the accuforce pro v2 and am having an issue with the spring effect. Even when I have every effect on SimCommander4 turned off, including the spring setting, there is a ridiculous centering spring that snaps the wheel back and forth as if there's a physical spring wrapped around the axle. I turned the intensity all the way to 1% so that the ffb bumps and pulls couldn't be felt, but the spring is still there whipping it to the center. It's clearing not self aligning torque, I know how that functions, this is a canned spring effect that will not go away. I'm not sure if there's some setting that I've missed or if the wheelbase is just defective. Any help would be appreciated.
@@SimRacing604 I didnt know either till today but I have read very positive things about it. No ytb video about this feature afaik. Will try it tonight for the 1st time.
Thats not much, more like normal vsync lag. Looks like he is driving automobilista 2 in this shot. Assetto Corsa Competizione has WAY more optical lag but its really more optical than real (slow rendering of wheel movement).
It's been over a year now, you still using the wheel and loving it? I'm still thinking about getting it due to the fact that it's compatible for all the other games I want to play. They don't have compatibility issues like the simucube I originally wanted to get. This thing works for all games. Can you please tell me a little more about the software? Is it still being completely updated? Is the community still strong like I saw a couple years ago or has it dwindled down a lot. I am thinking bout longevity in this case, I don't want to buy a wheel that no one is helping putting out profiles for.
@@SimRacing604 why the change? I was looking at this one for two main reasons, one I can put any wheel on it, and it’s compatible for all games Including some arcade style ones I want.
@@SimRacing604 ok, just one other question I see that it looks like you referenced the heuskinveld pedals in your review, do you have those? Do you have any compatibility issues with games with it
Thanks Mike, accurate video. I bought the same wheel. I cannot really complain about anything about it, aside from the long wire issue you mentioned. Overall a step up, I also live in Canada so was lucky to have it sent to a friend of the family is the US who was coming over the border which saved me a bunch in shipping and taxes and duties at the border. Stay safe, don't touch your face
Sadly I can't buy this wheel. I do a mix of PC and Gran Turismo sport. So if I ever want dd I'd have to go to fanatec. I'd much rather buy this though.
Great review Mike! I would add a couple of points: For AU users, consider the currency conversion rate means about $1250 + about $250 in duty on arrival in the country that you have to pay before the goods will be released to you from Customs. Still has the AccuForce Pro v2 $1000AU cheaper than the Fanatac DD1 for example. The button box, although robust and reliable, and really good build quality, is a bit old school these days without the rotary dials and no D-Pad that are so convenient on many of the high end wheels, and I feel the loss of this from my consumer wheel that I owned prior to the AccuForce. Customer service with the company has been hit and miss. I've had one really good experience, and one really bad. Both issue were exceedingly minor though, so don't let that reflect on the quality of the product which is second only in my experience to the Fanatac products.
@@SimRacing604 One of the staff was arrogant, rude, and wrong, and was not contrite or polite or apologetic when the wrongness was realised. To balance this, the positive experience (which was months later) was fast, efficient, polite exchange that solved my issue promptly and easily with a very polite and happy interaction. (I understand sometimes people have bad days, but I tend to hold customer service people to a high standard - If I can manage not to take out my shit on people when I'm frustrated with their product / service, then a profession provider of such service has no excuse for letting me see how crap their day is, imo) .
I went from a G27 to a Thustmaster T500RS, and although the T500 was stronger and better built, I liked the feedback from the G27 better, but the AccuForce Pro V2 I now have kicks them both in the nuts for FFB strength, fidelity and build quality and the software it comes with is beyond flexible .. so yes, a small upgrade from the G27 ;-)
The only thing I’d suggest is linking Barry’s newer review of the accuforce v2 where he seems to think it’s improved since the V1 and suggests the software has improved the wheel overall

Hi Mike! Great video as always! May I ask what rig/cockpit do you have your AccuForce bolted to? I hope to go DD within the next three years.
I too switched from my trusty TX to a DD wheel (sim-plicity SW8C+) this month, and I was pleasantly surprised how big the margin between those wheels is.
In fact driving a DD wheel almost feels like cheating, because I was able to catch so many drifts I wouldn't have saved with the TX due to its higher inertia. :-)
Regarding the long cord: I've been using a custom built rim with USB connector since I had by TX base, and I did the same I saw at many other sim racer setups: Just wind the cord around the axis once in center position. That way it will still stretch enough to both sides, but won't tangle up with the shifter paddles or your hands.
Great idea! Thanks for the advice
Turning to you because I can't get info from anyone else, or no one seems to have experienced this problem.
I recently purchased the accuforce pro v2 and am having an issue with the spring effect. Even when I have every effect on SimCommander4 turned off, including the spring setting, there is a ridiculous centering spring that snaps the wheel back and forth as if there's a physical spring wrapped around the axle. I turned the intensity all the way to 1% so that the ffb bumps and pulls couldn't be felt, but the spring is still there whipping it to the center. It's clearing not self aligning torque, I know how that functions, this is a canned spring effect that will not go away. I'm not sure if there's some setting that I've missed or if the wheelbase is just defective.

@@SimRacing604 One of the staff was arrogant, rude, and wrong, and was not contrite or polite or apologetic when the wrongness was realised. To balance this, the positive experience (which was months later) was fast, efficient, polite exchange that solved my issue promptly and easily with a very polite and happy interaction.
(I understand sometimes people have bad days, but I tend to hold customer service people to a high standard - If I can manage not to take out my shit on people when I'm frustrated with their product / service, then a profession provider of such service has no excuse for letting me see how crap their day is, imo) .
I'm guessing this would be a noticeable upgrade from a Logitech G27?? :D
I went from a G27 to a Thustmaster T500RS, and although the T500 was stronger and better built, I liked the feedback from the G27 better, but the AccuForce Pro V2 I now have kicks them both in the nuts for FFB strength, fidelity and build quality and the software it comes with is beyond flexible .. so yes, a small upgrade from the G27 ;-)
Bravo!! 👍👍
