Haha, yes i’d stump for a TM belt wheel if you can, but then we’re getting close to entry level DD

Thanks so much!

Simagic is honestly amazing force feedback, the true underdog in my opinion!

@TheCarDoc1 agreed it's my favorite that's coming from someone who actually got to test side by side simicube.

​@TheCarDoc1 wait until you try the ultimate 😉 that's what I own thing blows my mind. Not needed but the details from the motor are so strong they vibrate my entire rig. Also something people don't notice about simagic others don't do. Is when abs kicks in the base tells you if tc kicks in the base tells you. Just gotta pay attention. Haven't felt any others do that. Also the wheel flashes when abs or locking up happens same for when tc kicks in. Things nobody talks about that only simagic does. It's such a huge thing Also and helps so much. I hope you mention these things when doing more on it in videos with that f1 wheel also! Thanks.

yes, just to give a rough idea of the options

Absolutely LOVE IT

simucube still been favorite choice for RL drivers.. however in my own opinion i try both and i prefer simucube because bettet software and aldo better quick realase choice ...

@@emmanuelmoraless ohhh ok

oooh, it's close, but I'd probably say Simucube :-) (Simucube 2 ULTIMATE content incoming)

Yay someone who isnt just falling for the hype. I respect you so much for that because i feel the same way. Something about aseteks ffb implementation its great but something just doesnt feel as loose or flowy as simucube. ​@TheCarDoc1

@@TheCarDoc1 ok good to know

Not yet annoyingly, it’s coming out in june!

@@TheCarDoc1 I hope it does, I've been asked to choose a wheel and if doesn't come out in time then I'll have to settle for the g923

The one thing about asetek is its center forces on long corners is to much it's to tight feeling even when lowering settings as laurence explained on other channels. Simagic has a constant smooth flowy feel while nit being overly heavy. Now it may be heavy to you but they like to keep there shaft with less inirtia then other brands. So it helps with that snappy feel. But of course you could test it. But as reviews have stated comparing asetek with the dd+ they feel almost identical and it's one thing I didn't enjoy about the dd+ also. Like some extra built in inirtia might matter what you do. Meanwhile you can feel the weight from the simagic is based on the actual ffb being applied not a what I call dead springy weight. But again we all test and feel things a little differently I guess. It's just been surprising to hear will, random callsigns and other comparing dd+ with it side by side saying they fele very similiar. So if you don't like that fanatec feel you may not like the asetek even if the asetek is higher end and has more power. It's funny random callsigns actually preffered the dd+ in acc over the asetek and that made him keep the dd+ over it. All great bases. You know I came over from the dd+ I cannot believe how good and responsive the simagic is. That snap is so good also with corrections. The hype for asetek started because of will but tbh my preferences and many I know are way different. He's someone who reduces a whole lot of settings so it's hard to actually understand his comparisons when the settings are so wildly different. Also eajc bsde uses them differently. I've found every base ive tried all can feel super nice, detailed, fast etc. All can be made to be similiar just some varainces and some differences in the implementation. Luckily others have tried its a great base but lots of honest people out there who get to test it next to other bases. The top 3 are def simucube simagic and asetek. Can't go wrong with any. Simagic has blown up over the past 6 months like crazy. Seems like everybody is getting them. Every page that asks for reccomendations 70% of the comments are get simagic and for good reason. Price and the quality you get is just insane. Simagic is very very hard to beat right now. Also luckily super easy just like simicube to use other wheels from different makers. By using the rng qr.

Nrg qr* my bad Also no reviews ever seem to mention is simagic is one of the only brands through ffb to tell yoy when abs is kicking in or just before you lock up. Same goes for when tc kicks on. They also do it through the wheels the buttons will flash when abs is kicking in or before lockup and also when tc kicks on. The best tools in simracing are that imo and then adding haptics to the brake omg all of that combined it's hard to actually beat simagic they thought about everything. Yet so little reviews actually bring it up. Massive game changers for me.

@@reviewforthetube6485 I know simagic is better ….. will uses numb settings and then says some weird stuff about feel. Asetek uses cheaper mige motor with some plastic outside. I tried a few DD myself and Simagic is best for me. Do u know about the PID controller is better in v2 and current v3 models with better higher end motion control precision ??

Yeah I’d encourage people to start with a TMX/T150/T248 belt and gear driven model at the very least, or spring up for the T300/TX as someone who’s tried the Logitech gear driven offerings. T300 is a great starting point and smooth and was the standard for a while until direct drives became more attainable. I still have mine but finally thinking of upgrading to an aluminum rig with a Simagic Alpha wheelbase as I’m getting way too engulfed in iRacing.

@@TarzanGTI you see it is a metter of opinion, some people prefer Logitech g29 because it is more reliable, feels more premium and have better pedals. I peronally bought T150 becaue i prefered it, but it' hard to say it is better product i think

@@MrAsus4870 I’ve owned a TMX which is the Xbox version of your T150, great starter feel but the T300 is just that step up in smoothness. I’ve tried the G gear driven wheels and have friends with them that have tried my T300 or upgraded and much much prefer their upgrades. As far as pedal goes I upgraded the TMX two pedal ones that were pretty bad for the T3PA ones and then later T-LCM. As a a wheel base, I much much prefer the Thrustmaster offerings. Can’t speak on Logitech pedals as I barely have experience with them.

@@TarzanGTI I do tend to agree, if you can stump for a Thrustmaster belt wheelbase, they tend to be better!

you're welcome!

id say skip g29 and add $100 or so to get a Direct drive would be much better

@@Eskoxo Agreed. Until the latest releases of cheap DDs, the G29 and earlier versions were great value for money. I think used G29s would be a great alternative for new players.

@@supercededman Used = G29, New = Entry level direct drive

Don't forget that some homies are using a MOUSE lol

The trusty trusty bullet proof G27!! It’s all you need really 😁

@@TheCarDoc1 Yeah, I got a frame, a PC, and a Kmart chair. Get’s the job done!

@@Finnjaymakes if it works, and you're having fun, then it works brother!

Hey mate, nice to hear from you. I haven’t uploaded them just yet, although I do still have them, (future upload pending) They’re pretty good! They feel nice to use and the built in haptics are a bonus. I’ll try and get that review done very soon! I’ve been slow at the youtube for personal reasons but i’m slowly getting back to putting out semi regular content I’m enjoying the flight stuff quite a lot, are you much into it?

@@TheCarDoc1 That's good to hear. I currently have simjack loadcell pedals but I am now looking at these pedals, I am into flight sim as well, my setup consists of just a Logitech x56 hotas that I use on my desk though, nothing like your insane setup haha, but it is fun, usually play star citizen and MFS
