Yep gradually edging closer...it’s a race between this and Pimax to see who can deliver first lol...

Been over a month since their last update, how are people feeling about this?
Soldato
Makes no difference from any of their other updates, however I kind of forget about it - if it happens, it happens I guess.

I remember reading about this years ago. Has this still not been released to any kickstarters yet?

Nope... Not looking like well get anything anytime soon either.
I've just forgot I've even ordered it and fi Ger's crossed one day I'll get a nice surprise

Yup, was in desperate need of new pedals as my CSR Elite's died and I've been running my old G25's. Bought CSL Elite LC's instead of waiting.
I'll do the same if my wheel dies too.

Looks like the talk of a class action lawsuit has set a fire under the Feel VR team. They’ve actually posted an update (a day after they said they would, which is good for them) a couple of weeks after the last one.
Saying pedals should start going out in December, however they are no longer issuing refunds to backers.

Given the time lines I'm somewhat glad I skipped this one. I hope it's a great project but it doesn't sound entirely rosey right now.
Soldato
Yeah I wish I had, but it is what it is. I haven’t held my breath on this one for a while.
Soldato
It shows the risk of kickstarters and what not. I really hope it ends well, but it's not filling me with confidence...
Soldato
Yeah I don’t think I’ll be doing another one in any rush. Especially at the higher cost.

It's official, they've run out of money according to the latest update. The plan is to market and sell pedals at the end of the year to raise money to produce the wheel. Well that's my money down the crapper then! Ah well you live and learn.

Yeah, that's what I've gathered but I already figured that out on the last couple of updates where they said they are no longer going to be giving refunds.
Soldato
Kickstarter? Kick in the balls more like!!!
Soldato
I don't think Fanatec going down the DD route has helped then. Sounds like a lack of experience of running a project like this, and now they're trying to give it merit. Too little too late I fear, can't see how this is going to work.
Soldato
Well, anyone got their pedals yet? Looks like they're coming! Interested on how the Internet reacts...
Soldato
From what I’ve gathered they’ve sent out 3 I think for review. Another 100 to go out in December.
Soldato
O right apologies, just re-read the update. You're right. Be interested if anyone here is one of those hundred!
Soldato
I’m around 120.
