The Conspit Ares 12 CDP delivers 12 Nm through the same 23-bit optical encoder and skew-pole motor as the Ares 20 Platinum. Force feedback quality depends as much on encoder resolution and motor smoothness as on raw torque, and most drivers use high-end bases well below their maximum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the CSD Nano display included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Conspit CSD Nano is sold separately for the Ares 12 CDP.

The CDR version uses Conspit's newer quick release, compatible with NRG-style hubs, is more compact (243 mm) and includes the CSD Nano. The CDP version uses the ball-lock CDP quick release for wheels already fitted with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Ares 12 compare with other 12 Nm bases?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Conspit Ares 12 CDP sits in the same class as the Moza R12 (12 Nm). Its distinguishing points are a 23-bit optical encoder rather than a magnetic one and a torque slew rate up to 9.5 Nm\/ms. It is PC only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich games work with the Ares 12?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Conspit Ares 12 CDP works with PC sims that support force feedback wheels, including iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Assetto Corsa EVO, Le Mans Ultimate, rFactor 2, Automobilista 2, F1 and EA Sports WRC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Ares 12 work on PS5 or Xbox?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Conspit Ares 12 CDP works on PC Windows only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho handles warranty and after-sales service?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe French Simracer handles after-sales service for the Conspit Ares 12 CDP, as for every brand it sells, with a contact based in France.
