Hi Darth! Great review! Thanks for the shout out about the V1 vs Lites :)
Your photography is looking really good! I can really see all the texture and design details of all the pedals your showed.
And WOW! When you contrasted the Simforge vs VNM Lite, the pedal faces being flat laser cut steel vs curved and beveled CNC aluminium was jaw dropping.
The VNM Lites have been in my studio so long I started to take their beauty for granted, but they truly are a lovely looking pedal set.
I've said it many times, but the VNM Lites are the favourite pedals I've had in my studio so far, and that includes the big boi V1s - the Lites are just perfect.
Also the spring/elastomer combo that comes standard with the Lites is perfect. I actually put that exact combo onto the V1s because i hate that soft spring preload effect - and the white elastomer-blue spring-red spring combo is just PERFECT.
Anyways I loved the video, the presentation/photography is looking really good, I always learn something from your videos and I too would like to see what Simforge can do in 2024.
May the downforce be with YOU 😊
Hey Doc! Thanks a lot. I too was a bit surprised when I used the lites. I can safely say that they are one of the best budget options out there.
Great video as always keep it up
Thanks Franee
Excellent video! Never tried the VNM but I have the Simforge. I liked them (since moved on to other pedals), but had a tough time dialing in the brake to my liking. As pointed out in the video, the pedal faces on the Simforge are outstanding.
Cheers Tetley!
What pedals are you using now?
@@darthsnape I have spent a lot on pedals (too much). I went to Heusinkveld Ultimates which I really like, but the Simucube Active Pedal was too tempting. So I use that as my brake now, with the Ultimates for the accelerator and clutch. I also have the Invictas but the brake is so stiff. Since there is no g-force in sim racing to help apply the pressure, i felt a little disconnected from the car if that makes any sense.
@tetley3737 That is quite the combo. I know it’s a long shot but I would love to check out the Ultimates and Active pedal someday.
@@darthsnape The Active Pedal is really nice. If you plan to pickup the Active Pedal, you can (imo) probably skip the Ultimates. The accelerator and clutch are nice, but it's probably not worth the extra cost just for those pedals. I think the VNM or even the Simforge would be good for that role.
@@tetley3737 I'd definitely give it a try, even if only for the brakes. From what I have heard and seen, they're otherworldly.
Good video. I'm curious to see your thoughts on the Simgrade VX-PRO pedals if you can get some for evaluation.
Thanks! I'll try to reach out to Simgrade and see if we can come to an arrangement.
i love my simforge pedals and i got the new ones they have extra springs and other stuff they keep updating them. i preorder mine and they called to see if i want the updated ones that can with more spring etc. 360 shipped for to usa for two pedal set. i tried the sprints at a micro center the face plates are too small fo rmy big feet it one of the reason i love the sim forge i get big feet lol great video
Manufacturers calling up the customers to see if they want the updates stuff is just cherry on top. Just the thing we need!
hey man amazing video!!! can you review the cammus lcm padals
also how did you get the vnm lites and heusenkveld sprints
There’s some stuff going on with Cammus lately. More info on r/simracing (reddit). And HE sprints are my personal pedals, VNM lites were sent by VNM.
Loadcells are great but the issues I have with them is the annoying aspect of them is they fail to capture 100% of the pressure applied without losing it to the elastomer and/or spring relaxing.
Hall sensors seem to be better for sim racing specifically because of muscle memory where you can always rely on being precise constantly.
I haven't tried hall sensors only. P1000s have the option to choose between either load cell or hall sensor. I'll see if I like it any better. Thanks for the explanation. I might make a video on this.
@@darthsnape It's a good topic and I think the P2000 tried to solve it with their hydraulics. So the sim pedal manufacturers are aware of this problem too but only few want to address it.
@@JM-um3ql I have got the P1000s. I'll see if I can get my hands on the P2000s. If I arrive at a similar conclusion, it will be a great topic!
Pedals are overpriced. 200$ is max, the rest is over-engineering (marketing).
Interesting. Do you have any recommendation for a pedal set around that price point?
