Yo Barry, the community misses you a lot man. I hope everything's well.
couldn't agree more with this statement.
Come back Barry! So many new items that need a comprehensive tear down!
Miss the videos man, this was the channel i respected the most for reviews. Hope all is well
Barry I really miss your videos, would love to know if there were more on the way and your doing ok 👌
He is ok I read on redid. But he kinda lost interest in simracing. He has changed his rig to a flying simulator these days.
@@TinoushGTR has he started a channel for that? I’d be interested to see his reviews, just liked the guy (even if sim racing is why I found him) cheers for the info 👍
@@TBagger489 yeah really nice guy. Don't know buddy he might. What i hear is that the manufacturers had to pay him so he would make a honest review. With an unknown outcome. They stopped sending him stuff because of that.
@@TinoushGTR well good to he’s alright anyways, shame as his content was(is) awesome
@@TBagger489 yeah I miss it too
This channel is proof that money isn’t what decides if a channel is popular or not.
Barry, I hope you are in good health, it is needed here!! hugs
For people who wants to know were Barry is. I read this on Reddit i quote
''He lives near me, like 10 mins up the street. I bought my rig from him. Just doesn’t care and has many other interests. His main rig was set up for flight when I was there. He said at the end of the day it’s all just hardware that basically works the same and it was getting tiring. He does a lot of photography and competition rifle stuff. Really nice guy, went to buy the rig and was there for like 2 hours.
Edit it was cool felt like I met a celebrity from our niche ha"
hope your ok! miss your stuff!
Hi friend, why is there no other video ? You are one of the best channel simracing channel !!! Please don't stop your videos !!!!! ❤
Miss this guy so much.
Barry, make a sim flying channel. We'd all subscribe! Anyway, the community misses you but still do what's best for you.
Miss you and your Reviews...
Hey Barry, please return
Hey men, you have the most complete reviews around, dont let your channel die, you can grab the world by the balls if you include few more main stream products like grafic cards, cpus, consoles, videogames etc. you already have the method!! Take advantage of this gift you have!!
You’re so calm and technically precise+ informative, really appreciate that in a sim racing channel.
All my purchases have been products that you have personally reviewed, and your detailed, unbiased reviews is what drove me to those products. You take even the most expensive, professional or whatever the product tier may be and really explain it as if it was made for a beginner. Love that about your reviews. Hope to you see more soon! Wishing you the best and hope to see you do reviews again.
Hey Berry, Thank you so very much for your indepth videos. It helped me resolve some issues i was having with my shifter.
Wow, glad I found this channel!
I really appreciate the details and tear down approach to this kind of hardware... Subscribed instantly haha
I blame all of you savages for making the man lose interest lol. Nah fr tho i understand. When u get all the high end gear and fanfare out of the way its still just a grown man playing video games. Nothing wrong with that but people lose interest in gaming easily. It usually fits at a particular time in our life's, then that time passes and gaming doesnt play the same role it used to. Hope you're doing well Barry. You are a legend!
Bought a r9 based on your review and haven't been disappointed, it's a massive upgrade from my old t300
Had mine for a couple of days and quite impressed so far. Have been using a Logitech shifter with a Leo bodnar usb adapter, so this feels much heavier but the action is positive and not missed a gear yet.
I have been using this shifter for the past 2 weeks, and I'm surprised by how good it is built for the price. But I have 2 complaints that may be related to my setup. The first complain is the wider throw of the shifter means that you must be careful when mounting a handbrake next to it because it will invade the space next to the shifter. I use an NLR 2.0 stand, and in the flat configuration of the handbrake, I hit my fingers every time I go into the 7th gear. This could have been avoided if they had a standard reverse and 7th gear in the same column.
My other complaint concerns the spring to engage the Reverse and 7th gear. Since I play a lot of ETS/ATS, I often rest my hand on top of the shifter because I have to do a lot of gear changes. I tend to engage the spring and accidentally shift into 7th or Reverse.
Also, I can use the basic shifter functionality after calibration without running the Pit House software. So there is no need to run it in the background at all times. But you do need it to do the initial calibration, and after updates, I also need to recalibrate.
I'm also using NLR 2.0 stand. how many bolts are to lock this Moza shifter in the NLR stand shifter holes? 2 or 4? Also what specific handbrake you are currently using? I presume the handbrake is placed on the right side that has the option for tilt configuration, right?
I have the same exact setup as you and face the same issues, I wonder if you drill some new holes for the handbrake if you could avoid hitting it
What other h pattern shifters are worth it
@@user-uw7wu8uu4iThrustmaster Th8a / Th8rs...all the other are very expensive
Hey dude, totally understand cutting losses and moving onto the next thing. Would love to see what's taking up your mindspace these days.
always look forward to seeing Barrys videos
Hy Barry!!! I really miss your rewiew videos. I hope Everything is fine with you!!! I wish for you good health and good luck.
Not seeing any videos lately
Hope you’re ok Barry
I received my shifter & handbrake earlier to today & am loving them. The whole Moza eco-system offers very good value for what you get (IMO!) I noticed that the shifter accessories had two sets of silicone sound deadeners, so there are spares in case the other ones wear out. Would be nice to know if it was possible to get hold of, when needed. Great videos by the way!
Hope you are doing OK Barry, miss your videos!
Wow, I really wasn't expecting that type of quality internally for the price. Had this on the list to compliment my other Moza gear, might have to expedite that purchase after your video!
Thanks as always!
Amazing work Barry. Thanks for the always very detailed reviews. Could you please review the Cammus 15nm wheelbase/wheel bundle? The price/simplicity/versatility for DIY is appealing, but it would be nice to know your opinion on the build and overall quality.
I ordered one. Thanks Barry.
Hey Barry, absolutely love the content and you're always my #1 choice when looking into new gear!
I've had my HGP for 3 months, and really don't abuse my equipment! Shifter started to feel a bit sloppy an eventually snapped. (Found multiple other users with the same issue) Personally I think it's due to the shaft material. Carbide/graphite etc vs. stainless steel.
Have you heard/had any issues with yours?
Thx!
I was wondering why i didn't get to see any notification about a video from this channels and it seems nothing was uploaded for year.
Kind of sad because this gave some very detailed analysis of wheelbases etc.
All good things come to an end i guess.
Fingers crossed Barry gets some of them fancy active pedals to put through the garage for review
Also for Mounting, rather than using the 2 Cross bars you used, I just put it directly onto the Alu bar and only used the 2 center bolts and it didn't works perfectly, does not need the extra horizontal support IMO.
Hey man, I hope you’re good I really miss your videos since you do a thorough breakdowns which is missing on the other channels.
I want to see the stuff disassembled since I’m an engineer and only that way I can gauge quality.
Even if you’re doing flight gear or whatever, I’m interested in everything you take apart haha
Miss ya Barry.
Thanks for all the details. I guess my Miata 10X1.25 knob needs an adapter
I really wish there were more cars with H pattern shifters. Everything I want to race right now uses sequential or flappy paddle gearboxes instead.
Then you need to try the updated StockcarX in rf2. Really impressive
Ams2 have a lot of H pattern cars to drive, old f1 with 6 speed H are my favorite of all
when I got my shifter from moza it was fine for about 10 minutes then it had alot of side and foward to back play. when I opened the top of the shifter plate I saw the two pins that control side to side seemed to be farther apart then in the video. the foward to back play I haven't yet figured out.
I have been looking at a Fanatec shifter to upgrade from my TH8A
however now I think the MOZA shifter is a better option
moza is making such a high quality stuff
got this today, thank god i have wheel stand if i put this on table i put throw away the table on how hard to shift this thing. pretty good tho loving it already, i like the clack sounds
Any plans to review the simagic ds-8x? looks like the best h-pattern shifter with a (in my opinion) better form factor than the prosim, bdh or mme motorsport shifters, with a much cheaper price.
You have so good simrig, wish my cocpit would be like yours 😱
should we apply grease to the ball bearings and detents to extend the life span of the HGP shifter?
Hey great content man, thank you for making these videos, you help out giving reviews on sim racing products and it really helps out. Keep up the good work, but before I go I have a question.
I’ve been looking at sim wheels so i can figure out what i want next. Right now I play on Xbox and I have a Logitech G293 with a Logitech G Shifter, and before that I had a Logitech G920 that ended up breaking. The main problem is…well, there are a lot of options and its difficult to figure out a good option for what wheel I would want to get. So I wanted to ask you if you could give any advice on a good simwheel setup that you would recommend. It doesn't matter what brand it is, I'm just looking for a sim wheel setup that is compatible with xbox and has good quality and a good aftermarket support (another thing would be the ability to swap wheels easily but thats not required.) If you could give me good advice on a good simwheel setup, i’d very much appreciate it, thank you.
What are your views on "YAW2" universal motion platform? any chance you gonna review that ?
You do the best reviews 👍 just out of curiousity do you plan to do review of Logitech g pro wheel and pedals? 😊
Just received my shifter. Using the latest software and firmware, to calibrate it properly I had to move the shifter far left and far right a few times within the 10sec. Front and back not needed, otherwise the calibration is off.
is there a way to make the shift a little more stiff, ive used this for a short while and it feels much looser and i havent had it long
Hi
I want some help
I am really new in sim racing
So I bought a used d-box gp200 it’s very old but I got it very cheap
But the problem was one connector is missing
Kai-p1
This is the connector to connect the pc to the chair
But this connector from d-box is very expensive.
Is there any other option ?
There is any after market
Or any other connector I can use with it ?
Which car is that in the driving section ? I have many H pattern cars in iRacing but not that one. Great video again.
Which would you choose the NVM, Fantec or this?
I’m surprised by the quality we’ve got for the price.
Nicely done MOZA.
A detent on seventh gear is very common on IRL cars. I am not sure about the implementation of the gate ramps. I would expect to see them deeper in the shifter. I suppose this is to keep manufacturing costs down. For me the lack of gate ramps inside is one of only two reasons to consider the Fanatec shifter over this one; the other being the easy switch to linear shifting.
The advantage the Moza has over the Fanatec is not the price, that seems right for the build, but the inclusion of USB without needing to buy a special cable.
Since this shifter is USB can it be used with a Logitech g923 wheel while being used with different software?
Just here because I noticed I hadn't seen anything from the SRG and Barry in quite some time. Hope all is well.
Wow❤❤ i love that shifter but the price very expensive❤❤thanks...
Fanatec one costs more.
Hey Barry, hope you're doing ok. I think we're all wondering how you're doing?
Saw his sim rig for sale on facebook a week or so ago. Hope he's upgrading and is doing ok.
What size shift knob does it take
whats happened to you barry havent had any videos in a while
Started researching and fell on the rabbit hole, very difficult to choose a system😅😅😅
Does anyone know if Barry is all good? Its been a minute.
Just wondered myself whats up...
10:05 I found a lot of M12 1.25 so just to be sure.. It's a 1.5 or a 1.25 ? Thanks !!
Please can you do a review of pxn v12 and v12 lite i still cant make my mind about them
What thread is used to secure the shifter ball to the shaft? Looks like M10 or M12?
Wondering the same thing
See if you can get a Bash Pro Active H-Shifter to review. Looks high end but reviews are sparce.
Hi, I don't know anyone better than you to ask a special question. I will be really grateful if you can answer me. i have a fanatec handbrake table mount. is it possible to attach vnm 1.5 handbrake to it. even with a simple DIY solution.
Unrelated to the shifter, i started noticing during the testing that your hair was blowing in relation to speed. I don’t know how you managed to make that work but its a crazy detail for immersion
What's your daily H Pattern Shifter Barry?
Still looking for that perfect H Shifter. There are some awesome stuff out there, but you will have to refinance your home to get one.
Done with the spring loaded/none adjustable shifters. They're light with no true tactical feeling. Those tiny springs get weaker over time. Another great review
He's using a Pro-Sim H pattern shifter (Quaife).
I have this shifter out of order today. When you turn on the 2nd, 4th, 6th transmission, the shifter restarts. I think it's something with the fee. I'm going to apply for a guarantee tomorrow.
Heej Barry, will you make some new videos? Maybe only to give us some closure! In the meen time enjoy flying around.
If you want the operation to be quieter, I bet you could fit a piece of vinyl tubing on the shaft in place of the plastic sleeve. I think I'd rather do that than cover the number with a custom part prone to wear and relying on adhesive. $5 worth of tubing and you've got a lifetime supply of backup sleeves. That is, so long as the shifting feel is still sufficiently crisp. But I think it would be as long as the tubing is a cheap thin variety.
Hey Barry hope you are doing well. If you can find the time, you should review the new D-BOX RSEAT HF-L4 haptic platform. It needs the ole magic Sim Racing Garage review process!
nice piece of kit for the price.
Is Everything well?
my brother in christ thank you for stating the thread pitch
Can you shift any harder?
9:33 AAAYYYOOOO 😏✊🏼
please do the simagic ds-8x next!!!!
Moza r12 review and Settings please🤝
Wish more people would make shiters laid out like the thrustmaster th8a, this would end up being way to tall on my rig, same as the simagic and just about every other shifter I've found on the market
yeah the table simracing setup is dying because all midrange products seem to be made for dedicated rigs now
If your considering thrustmaster th8 or this go th8 then do the shifter mod feels some.much better and lasts where as the moza hgp ball bearings lose there click over time unfortunately only last about 100h
I sold my Th8a full mod with industrial ball bearing swap and mod rod for this .The Th8a feel like a Toy compare of this moza hgp ,not even comparable,sorry :)
@AtomicFrogTv have taken apart the moza basically has the same system a ball bearing popping in an out , many different mods for the th8 it's more or less the same lol all.good though dude if the moza hasn't gone floppy on you yet that's great 😀
I have one on order. lucly this came out in time so i can cancel if I need to. :)
Unbelievable that they are selling it at this price!
Moza is about to capture a large chunk of the simracing market with good products.
gotta say, the chinese designed/chinese manufactured stuff is so much better than the american design/chinese manufactured stuff. america fucking blows ass
is Barry ok?
does anyone know if you can go into sequential like fanatec or is it strictly H pattern. Looking at leaving the fanatec ecosystem....I think MOZA is making a good disruption in the market by making this stuff more simple to operate.
H pattern only
can you check out Asetek products?
Five month without Barry sounds wierdly empty... is everything allright ?
All good here. Just taking some time off to pursue other interest.
Good to hear from you Barry, was very quit. Hope you can find your passion back. For me and think many others you are the king of sim. I wish you well for you and your family and hope to see you back once .@@simracinggarage3026
@@simracinggarage3026 What could be more interesting than sim racing? chasing women?
VRS pedals, when?
This dude enjoys this shit way to much lol
Does anyone know what's going on with Barry?
He got out of sim racing from what some others have said which is unfortunate because he was the best around at breaking down a product.
@@alkine3011 what did they say? really miss this in depth videos from Barry
Where are you?
what happened to Barry ?
What I was thinking, hope he's OK
Be careful with it I have had mine for a little over a week and it snapped the little shaft under the plastic tube. I am still waiting to hear on warranty
The same happend to me 2days ago. I have it for 2 months now and only 100-150 hours of play MAX .
Trying to get a new one under warranty from moza. Did you already got this situation sorted by now?
Same issue here. 3 months of light/medium use and mine snapped in the exact same spot. I'm 17 days in without a response from support. (Everything else about it has been fantastic!) Prefer it over the Fanatec.
Ended up buiying the Simagic DS-8X and love it.
@@Mr.Phesadent i saw like 4-5 people having this by now. Mine got replaced under warranty
Fanatec Clubsport is the best hands down
Pro sim Quaife is the best ... Fanatec ...Lol
M12x1.5 it's a sin - most of aftermarket knobs has M12x1.25 thread
So it's a 1.5 for real ?? I just received it and I need to put an extension for truck sim.. I don't find anything other than M12x1.25 😅
This shifter just needs a stiffer spring, its very easy to engage the 7th speed, really annoying
I had to refund mine day one, the lock for reverse or 7th gears was not functionnal, with the new unit, it's perfect, the 1mm part tolerance is too much has said Moza support, they have rebuilt the units
fixed by RMA and exchange by Moza by my dealer
That thin hair blowing around from the fans in the sim……
