    This week hopefully my rig comes and then im getting the alpha Its finally available also,what a good timing Some days ago only the U was available and they said it would be available again at mid august For some days i was thinking of maybe not wait and buy the U but i think its a bit too much and overkill Most guys i talk with confirm that,only few told me to buy the U just so i never think what if I was convienced to buy the mini instead of R9,but i searched and it was definetely clear that outside of money its definatelly betterto buy a high end base And the click happened when i talked with you and you told me about the dynamic range and resolution Thank you for that I always refer to your videos and Dan Suzuki when people ask moza or fanatec You are a hidden gem in the community

      @guitartube5822 Both are excellent options whether be it hardware or software wise. And ridiculously close to each other once you dial in the settings. Although Asetek’s motor is really…really snappy. So I guess it comes down to which QR you like? Regarding the pedals, from what I have tested and seen other people say, is that it’s a really hit or miss kind of set. You will either like them, or not. There’s no in between.

    Hello again 😀 I think in a comment you said you are game developer,if i remember correctly We have BeamNG,AC and RBR How hard and time consuming you would think it would be to combine the best tyre models and cars with good graphics and good pacenotes? Is it like we take the best engine of the 3 and we modify the models add pacenotes and we done or it could be much more difficult Im sure there is a way if money were available I would sure pay some money or maybe a small subcription to have the "perfect" rally game Maybe a graphics mode and improved pacenotes on RBR would be the best

    • @darthsnape
      @darthsnape 4 дні тому

      Hey! I'm not actually a dev, but I work in the industry. Now regarding the combination, it will be difficult. And creating an entirely new tyre model from scratch is very time consuming. Tyres are the hardest part to simulate accurately in any game. So far I believe iracing has done a great job followed by AMS2. And for now, the best rally game (according to me) is indeed RSF RBR. I understand what people are after (maximum realism) and in order to create something like that would take an enormous amounts of funds and research (time as well).

    The la prima bundle is fantastic , ive upgraded with the forte pedal upgrade and now you can fully customise the wheels (new grip designs , new colours to choose , new wheel rims round, d shape, u shape , ) i plan to upgrade the wheel at some point . I used to have all moza gear but that stuff just is not even in the same league for quality or reliabilty and Asetek support should you need it is probably the best going so if you managed to break the pins that everyone seems so concerned about ( i dont know how you manage this unless you are a ham fisted fool) you could get it fixed without issue .

      @gaminginstillife9429 What you may be getting confused is between the “bit”. A CPU/GPU has a certain design which is referred to as architecture. 64bit architecture is better than 32bit. Search 32bit vs 64bit processor or windows OS. There is however a difference in 32bit architecture and 15bit encoder resolution of a position sensor. A position sensor is used for precision while measuring or calculating the position of an object in linear or 3d space, not to run games on Atari Jaguar. Similar to how a 15 bit encoder cannot replace a 64 bit architecture on….You guessed it. Atari Jaguar :)

    The slew rate is attractive but that's not enough in my books to tip me over. Factor in the pins issue and the relatively higher price and the lack of supprted software games, it starts adding up against it and will impact the resale as well. And given it's more serious focus on competitive titles, it's lacking 360hz FFB support on iracing that Simagic and Simucube have. On that note, simagic is more affordable and has much better ecosystem and visually better looking wheels imo

      The pin design is concerning. I'm yet to see how it holds up. Simagic on the other hand, has pogo pins too but has never put a fear in my mind that I might accidentally damage them. Simagic can prove to be an appealing option when factoring in the consumer perspective.

    Does the higher encoder resolution and theoretical higher level of detail was apparent to you compared to simagic? Would you be able to tell a difference in a blind test?

    • @darthsnape
      @darthsnape 14 днів тому

      While on paper the 22 bit of resolution should outright demolish the 18 bit, but it isn't the case. Based on the settings I run, I felt more comfortable on Simagic (it could be bias, I'm not sure) and was faster, like I have shown in the video. And you are right, this base has minimal filters which takes away the digital feel. But I'd say based on the settings I play with, I preferred Simagic despite the very slight (maybe 5%) digital feel. In a blind test, I would be able to tell them apart, but that's because I have tested them both. The differences are in filtering. But again, I'm pitching it against the Alpha U, and not the mini. For an honest review, during my testing period of 20 something days, I spent almost no time with my Alpha U.

      @@tkdmp5698 The "extra headroom" is highly useful as it provides all the dynamic forces. The dynamic range is often overlooked when picking a base due to lack of awareness or budget issues. I can tell you that playing at 10/12Nm in game and having the torque maxed out on base (23Nm) would allow all of the forces to peak as high as they can for better immersion. In my opinion, it's very important for me to feel every last frequency because of the missing G-forces.

    Hey man, I’ve always loves racing and I actually go kart somewhat pro in real life. I have an Xbox and a cheap wheel I got off Amazon for like 50 bucks (I got it before I got into racing) now I want to improve on sim racing. To u recommend this or something like a g923. I really like your vibes and video!

    • @darthsnape
      @darthsnape 15 днів тому

      If budget isn't an issue, then I would suggest you go for a direct drive base. You can opt for budget segmented ones such as offerings from Moza, Simagic or Cammus (maybe?), or even high end bases to simulate those real life forces at home. If not, hands down Thrustmaster TX is better than g923.

    Tbh there can’t be a fair comparison because one is literally £400 difference after base,wheel and pedals using the base equipment I’ve just got my r12 not even out the box yet and was worried that I’ve made the wrong decision going moza but no matter how I look at it as long as the moza doesn’t give me problems it’s still £400 cheaper than simagic so it’s ever 400 reasons the financial better option or 400 wrong financial option but I won’t know until I’ve unboxed it and tried it Admittedly on discord there no or hardly no one saying there hardware problems simagic but on the moza discord there many to be found which don’t present a good look and I’d of probably would of saved more to gone simagic because of this I just hope moza is not a hit and miss product hardware wise and there are people who are happy with the r12 and pray I’m one of them

      Moza has been known to have some QC riddled products. You can check reddit for that. But aside from that and my statements regarding the comparison, R12 is a great base. And I hope it doesn’t give you any problems.
