Thanks for this review, Shaun. I just hit the Order button to use this on my Accuforce base.
Pretty sure i will get this wheel and the alpha mini. Now i just got to decide on a cockpit first. I actually got out of bed one night to order the sim lab px1 i was tired of thinking about it. I put it in the cart with the monitor mount.. $250 shipping (without) a seat! Went back to bed😂. You got any recommendations on cockpits for someone in the USA? Also like the trakracer tr8 but it didn't show them in stock.. idk what to do 😂
You can look at microcenter, they carry some sim rigs, also check out Advanced Simracing.
No idea how you only got 52k subs, definitely deserve more. Love your reviews man.
I appreciate that!
is this update realy 114gb? im looking at it and cant believe it, just downloaded iracing couple days ago😱
That sounds like the full update even with all the content you don't own. You should be able to customize what you to download or select only required. I believe mine was 60GB to include content I don't own
Wowser even 60gb is a large update
Will the old formula one add front plate bolt onto this? The button racks look to close together. 😊
what mount did you use? thanks
Excellent, detailed review. Thank-You!
Awesome video. This stuff seems to be pretty hard to get where I live but may look into it.
We over here now?
Does the handbrake work on console with the fanatec adapter?
Do you think i should buy this or t150 thrusmaster
Finally something worked for me. I have tried everything. This program finally worked for WRC
Something nobody will tell you is. Thede 5 to 7 or 8nm belt wheels feel stronger then 5 to 8 dd wheels. Just the way the belt and motor is pulling feels stronger then the way magnets react in a dd wheel. Ive alwyas understood why dd wheles feel better in the hugher nm range even if you were to lower settings a bit. For me it took about 15nm to truely undrrstand why dd is so so good not just in smoothness but the reaction and response and snap with that extra torque. Even if resucing down to 8nm its still worth having a 15+ nm wheelbase thats dd. If i didnt finslly get to try the stronger ones i would have stuck with my cswv2.5 because yes i liked it more then any 5 to 8nm dd wheel on the market. But I will say 1 full second is the difference between winning and losing many times over again. Lol But yes you wont gain times with either of these.
It would be nice if you showed how you take the old spring off like what kind of shot is that 🤷🏽♂️
Couldn't make the live but ready to get caught up on the video. Have a great weekend !!
Hi, I have a question? Does this Simagic haptic pedal reactor also work with PlayStation 5?
Hey, unfortunately, it does not work on consoles
That's a definite down step from the old RS. I still have two of them, one is my handbrake for rally. I took the sequential top lengthened the slot and removed the spring. I added an external spring for tension and it really works great. I have it in the analog hand brake mode. It's brilliant. I am so happy with my Fanatec shifter, switching from sequential to H pattern is a breeze. You can adjust the tension on it too. My only complaint is they did not grease it from the factory. Dry it would wear out fairly quickly.
54:54 what every man thinks when on a long car journey with their better half, ha ha
you have the lotus in the wrong spot cant see it behind your head and it`s the best car there.
I would be worried about that cheap plastic mount breaking.
There is a shifter with a lockout system (I have one) called the Bash Pro by MVH. Very pricey, but I think it's just the tip of the iceberg and we will see this more often, and more affordably, in the future.
I had it for maybe 3 days, this thing would not stay mounted to a desk or my sim rig. I was so looking forward to it being even decent, however it was not to be. My opinion is it's a piece of junk, even the logitech is way better.
I've owned the TH8S for five months, and it's true that shifters could only be used on some occasions. Having said that, I've had fun racing online with the H-pattern but still need some practice with auto-blip turned off. What I also found it does well at is being a vertical handbrake when you tick analog mode!
I love watching you rally.You're getting better every time.
sure its an inexpensive h pattern shifter, but what else can it be used for? could gear 1 and 2 be used for flaps? and gear 3 and for for landing gear up and down? Gee tom, why don't you find out yourself? anyways, i like the background cars. They look good. thank you for another video. Peace
At 3:12, you did some magician magic swap thing I did not pick up. I wish you had that at normal speed.
Very helpful, thank you very much!!
Glad it was helpful!
Hold both paddles then press Y B you'll see white light, 1 to 4 for sensitivity settings
You review this as a starter kit but would this be a good upgrade from a Logitech 920? I have been looking at PXN V12 Lite and Fanatec CSL DD as well. All in the same price point. Trying to figure out which Direct Drive to upgrade to. Help!
That's really a shame that's doesn't support Simhub, it really seems like the perfect hub !
Great detailed review! Many thanks for your work!
My pleasure!
QUESTION why did you not get a pc water cooler? it is more compact than that huge box.
That F1 wheel on 0:24 is sooo sexy. I hope it wont be €2000+
What’s the bolt pattern?
74 mm
I have the old T-GT and dreamed about a DD for a long time. And finally tried out a fanatic DD and did conclude that the wheels were very similar. I could not tell the difference really only slightly so I kept my T-GT in the end.
I started in 98 when I bought a PS, Gran Turismo and 2 steering wheels that you put between your legs and sat on. The pedals slid around on the floor. I wiped the floor with all the fast kids in my Battalion. I was in my last year in the Army. Now I have PC and a PS5. I race on triples and single screen. Mostly I use the PC for American Truck Sim and WRC. For racing I like the PS5 it has chat and all included. GT7 Kart racing league Wed. & Sat. nights 10 pm Eastern US. It has been running since GT6, about 10 years.
I have seen many pictures on the Internet of the NEO GT with its rubber handles peeling off. How is your after normal use?
$225
Something about the name 'Conspit' just sounds strange to me. Every time I hear it I focus on the 'spit' part lol. Button box looks a bit DIY to me. Sounds like it is a new company so they will probably refine and improve their products presentation as time goes on. Great review, thanks!
the button box is very nice and well made, way beyond my DIY skills
SPOT ON REVIEW
Looks good and fairly well made, oh I think you mean it’s Metric only not imperial.
I dont drive the ferrari but this wheel is better than the shit f1 wheel they have
The big round wheel looks really nice. The hub is nice too. Their wheels are real nice looking. I hate Alcantara, leather is much better. It lasts a lot longer and wears better.
I have no idea why I would want a display that attempts to duplicate what’s already on the in-game wheel. I have an SF1000 and never use the display.
Alot of us drive without the ingame wheel, and speaking on behalf of myself, i usually also turn off all the ingame HUD for the immersion. So this is very nice for dirt racing.
I often mention that these displays are not for all. Somepeople like them, they are cool, they are flashy , they make your rig look that much more pro. For others its redundant, paying money for somethign they dont need, another thing to break or go wrong. Oh yeah and obviously not for VR :)
Good option for me potentially, I want a nice high end round wheel with no real screen. This works well, small display
Now THIS guy has a lot of experience and knowledge in the area of Sim racing. I can't believe you're still doing this. Awesome video and funny as well.
Are these by chance from the same guy that made SIMBOOT back in the day? I still have my pair of those that I purchased around ten years ago. A much more basic design, but worked well for me.
Happy Birthday🎁
great video bro, see you in the race
