    In passing, I sell my Fanatec ClubSport Pedals V2, a little worn but still fully functional!

    They will be replaced very soon (package in shipment) by PT-1 ProtoSimTech :p

    I had already the DK2. So the sense of immersion wasn't a discovery by using the CV1.
    However, the technology gap between the two generations is important enough that improvements are very noticeable in games :

    - No more visible SDE, or while looking good
    - No bad feeling even after 2 hours of race in a row
    - A marked improvement on the long distance vision
    - Increased fluidity in the movements of the head (90 vs 75 fps)
    - Very easy installation and implementation
    - High-quality earphones, despite their apparent simplicity

    New set of pedals installed. What a change !
    The pedals are impressive on the size and on accuracy.

    Curious Erwan, Why do you run the Triples with Next to No angle on them ?

    Just because I don't need it anymore ! As a matter of fact, now, I only use the Oculus CV1 !
    So to save some space in the garage, I pushed the screens on the back.
