Hello, i am looking in to upgrading my rig, i have a thrustmaster tx with the t3pa pedals and a innato dtm mounted on a next level racing f-gt. i have arround 500 hours spreaded across acc, ac, ace and lmu (most in acc) and am around 1.7 sec from record on monza in acc but i cant be concistent. i want to upgrade my pedals first and then save up for a used dd1 and then alu profile rig.
i am looking for pedals for less than €450, i have found a couple of great used options
VRS directforce 2 pedal w/o baseplate, new on marketplace for €400
Heusinkveld sprint 3 pedal with base plate
simtrecs pro pedal gt mk1 + sim3d haptics w/o baseplate, i can pick up the vrs and heusinkvelds but these have to be shipped or i have to drive really long.

i cant really decide what to buy, i also noticed that the asetek forte pedals where only €380 on simweare.eu

i mainly drive gt3 but i want to drive lmp more
Thanks in advance!

yeah those are 400 but i would rather spend 50 euro's more on heusinkvelds, to have 3 pedal set with baseplate, and for it to be "better" pedals

Ergonomically the xp1s are probably the best on the market, the vrs pedals are probably a smidge more precise but i dont think you would notice unless you are an alien

Wouldnt mind some form of a value for how much pressure i have so i can make fine adjustments

makes sense, theyd have to make something that also accomodates the adjustment on the back of the pedal arm which is probably why they didnt

Vrs doesnt have much adjustment when it comes to the throttle though, it is on the lighter end when it comes to resistance

Because you can keep track of the physical adjustments easily

Would be nice to have some readouts in the software

Doesnt really have to be any real measurement unit just like a % slider for the loadcell or isk
