There's plenty of wargamers around Madison, especially 40k, but not a lot for open source wargaming. That is, games with the full rules freely available and 3d printed models are not only allowed, but encouraged. So I started a Discord to organize events and to help each other get models printed.

I have an old Fanatec GT3RSv2 wheel strapped into a TrakRacer TR80 with Clubsport pedals. I'd like to swap out the pedals, but I'm wondering if there's much advantage to going to the more modern direct drive wheels. I mostly play iRacing.

I'm happy with the power of the force feedback on the GT3 wheel. Plenty enough that it can be a real workout at its max settings, and I usually turn it down. Having a fancy removable wheel would be nice--makes it easier to get in and out of the cockpit with the wheel sitting close--but I don't think I want to drop $1000+ just for that.

Given that I don't see a need for more power, is there any advantage to the upgrade beyond detachable wheels and still ge
