Just ordered on today and wanted to what to expect! Thank you so much for this.
I wish this video had been out at the time I decided to go with ASP for my button box last October. I went with ASP, despite the 2-month wait, because there were no video reviews on the Sim-Panel. Thanks for the video.
Looks like a great product. Not only will it make your playing experience easier it will add that realism that’s always nice.
great video and ordered the one with the cb mike. My first one arrived packed like you described in the bubble wrap .when I opened it the key switch had came out. I called them and just returned it they sent me all the custom paperwork since I live in Canada . they sent me another one no questions asked . Real nice people .
Customer Service lives!!!
Good to know, thank you!
After watching your video and a couple of other videos I ordered mine on Monday and getting on Wednesday. I looked into the asp but I don't like the wait like you said so I bought the sim panel and from I hear it's pretty good. I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for your video.
You'll love it - thanks for watching!
Oh, PS - another viewer reported issues with his unit and contacted the company - very good customer service.
just ordered one w/mic. looks good clean can't wait to receive it thank you for the video DaVeed see you on the road driver !
@OldGamerZ just received mine, works like a charm!
Great review thank you for sharing it
You bet!
Good info...thanks Brother! 🧙♂️🦅
You are Welcome!
Great video thank you. I just ordered mine. Same reason as you, I don't want to wait 2 months.
I'm loving it!
No issues to report.
This box freed up many of the keys on the Bluetooth 10 key number pad which now houses all my views and one or two Route advisor inputs.
Nice tight set up on desk.
Have you received it yet
Great review!
I have friends that use this box and I was going to get one because it's great, but when I went to their site I found a newer box, the Ultimate Flex and I just ordered that one. Looking forward to getting it. The unit has 32 configurable controls and comes with a bunch of pre-printed labels. It's on sale for US buyers $160.
Sweet!
@@StudioDaVeed may i ask? which type of button they use for those stainless switches? momentary or self locking because im going to made it myself
@@MAlif-qg5sn
All of them are momentary switches.
Toggle and push.
@@StudioDaVeed well what about the rotary one is that selector switch or a potentio since idk if retarder can be signed with potentio
Very cool
I know I'm late but it's pretty good had it about a year now wish I got the cb tho lol you live and you learn
Good to hear!
SIM-PANEL TRUCK SIMULATOR BUTTON BOX

I mis-counted; forgot to include the rocker switches.
They add 4 more 'key presses' to bring the count up to 27
Looks great and well said. I recommend Trackir to get rid of you having to use the arrows to see around. It attaches to your head and moves when your head does. It’s another great product
Picked one up and getting used to it.
Thanks for watching!
Dave
@@StudioDaVeed will you please show that.
@@stevenandrewcallicottjr.
I never really got used to it and use it sparingly.
But here is a video where I use it some:

@@StudioDaVeed Thank You.
Its exspensive as hell though
Trailer air supply on my Heavy Hauler = trailer brake (button mapping) in ATS and ETS2
I’d love to have one of these for my truck sim setup. But it’s a little too pricey for me.
I got this too it awesome. Fyi the game does have a trailer break option
trailer air supply is the trailer brake in the game. i’m not sure though
Thank You.
Great review bro. After watching your video I pulled the trigger to, like you I put a lot of thought in it to but all it took was this review on it. Thank you. I received it a couple days ago. I was wondering if you can tell me how to change the colors on the controls individually? Thanks again buddy.
Thank you for watching!
You'll love this box.
To set custom button colors:
Turn Key all the way to the Right and HOLD for a second or two.
Release key back to 'position 2'.
Now; all light labels are flashing.
Press each individual button to rotate through the color selection stopping at the one you prefer.
Once you have it set; turn key back full left.
Lights stop flashing and are set at custom colors.
@@StudioDaVeed Thank you very much I sure appreciate it buddy, see you out on the open road driver.
Wish i would have found a review on this 2 months ago. just got my a.s.p today after just about 2 months. Was gonna buy one of these couple months ago but couldn't find a single review and thought it might be a scam so went with a.s.p
ASP is obviously a good unit as so many use it; the wait time for delivery is the issue.
Yeah, Sim-Panel should make a heavy push unless they don't want to be overwhelmed, which could the the case as a small player.
Someone on here mentioned there running real automatic. Curious as to what buttons you setup to be your forward, Neautral & reverse. I'm currently on simple automatic but really want to go to real automatic but trying to figure out if it will work for me using the 2 top buttons that's actually on my wheel if it'll let me. Or use the keyboard buttons to change to & from. Because leaving it in simple automatic with using air brake simulation I find myself getting into issues with pressure always dropping on me because brake acts as reverse as well as break & pressure don't like that setup & drops faster then if I had separate way of going into reverse.
I use simple auto too - but my wheel has paddle levers, I would shift with them.
@@StudioDaVeed I'm new to the sim trucking scene and am confused what does the Patriot XL Box take place of in a normal american truck simulator simulation rig what other tools go along with the Patriot XL Box that I am missing I'm thinking of getting Fanatec wheel, Fanatec podium wheel base DD2, Fanatec clubsport pedals v3 inverted, if I get this Patriot XL Box do I not need the Fanatec clubsport handbreak 1.5 and the Fanatec clubsport shifter sq 1.5 i'll be having them with the Next Level Racing GTTRACK Seat and the Next Level Racing Motion Platform v3 will all of this be compatible and how would I put all this together I can't find any installation guides online for this list of parts.
@@digitcreamarepugbabies
Sorry for the late reply - you're beyond my skill set ;)
@@digitcreamarepugbabies That's quite the setup for ATS.
trailer air supply is the trailer brake
the air supply is your trailer brakes
My question is, when using this button box for the air supply system… When you have the tractor air supply button pushed in and do an air leaks test by pumping the brakes repeatedly until the air supply gauge drops to zero or down to less then 45 psi, *Will the button box actually pop out the tractor air supply valve? like it does in a real truck!
I’m curious about using this box as a real simulation for our CDL school for demonstrating the air leaks test
No, sorry!
Only manually operated.
I can't even get red trailer brake button to work for the trailer brake. But I noticed every time I push it in or out. It moves the black lever behind the steering wheel yet I have it set up to be what its initially supposed to be which is trailer brake. But it doesn't do nothing.
@@Venkman29 I recall the same issue, never used it.
@@StudioDaVeed ok
@@Venkman29 it's for the parking brake when you for instance hit r for the airbrake that's what it is it's to lock the brakes so you don't roll Use the red button in place of the R on the keyboard for the brake
Crazy, over a year later ASP is still a 17 week wait for their basic box. I think their downfall is also one of their strengths, the customizability. You can order them with different face plates and air brake switches. That must be what's slowing them down so much. I'm trying to get a box before the Montana DLC releases, so it looks like I'll be getting the Simpanel.
Most seem to like it very much.
@@StudioDaVeed Ordered my Simpanel earlier, should arrive before the Montana DLC!
I ordered mine this morning & shipped from florida to pennsylvania by friday. 3 days no wait
@@DCMcF Nice, got mine last week and tried it out for a few hours. Really changed the game for me, not having to have everything mapped to my keyboard and wheel!
@@BlueOvals24 Much more convenient, I know even having a setup for flight sim it feels constrained from being a simulator as to console playing. I'm even thinking about the cheaper button panel that works with flight sim. Enjoy!
the trailer air supply is under trailer brakes... i believe i remember having a trailer brake option
That's not for the air supply, it's not modelled. You can map it to that function , but it would be quite unrealistic I think.
@@ccameron777 I mean its realistic enough, pulling it enables the brakes on the trailer just like it would in real life, but this is cause its just dumped the air out of trailer. At least how it was explained to me
I have one of those my self and the red button is for the trailer break and you pull that to engage the trailer break and how did you turn each label a different color???
Double check your instructions...maybe yours's doesn't?
But on mine....
(Not in game but button box lights ON)
Turn and HOLD key at furthest right turn and hold until the lights start flashing. You can then release the key.
The simply press each/any button to cycle through the aprox 6 colors stopping at the desired color.
When done, turn key back left.
Remember the rotary buttons also press in and the "Panel Lights" button turns off the button box lights...I turn them off when not in use.
@@StudioDaVeed yeah i got that but i read the instructions and what does it mean for the ACC.1 and ACC.2 Button modes
@@cale_awsome6701
This is all a guess///
These buttons you can program to NOT be just momentary switches.
By default they are: One Press activates a game feature. One Press deactivates the feature: say high beam lights. (Mode 1)
If I understand it right, when in Mode 2 when you press the button the high beams would flash (button On/Off) and then flash again when the button is released.
I really don't understand the reasoning as with the example of high beams, that is all programmed into the game when you select any button for that function.
When I first saw these modes; I thought they may turn a button into a function for outside the game..say to trigger a video recorder, but that doesn't look right the way they describe it.
I'll have to get with them and find out.
Might be a super cool feature us non-nerds don't know about "gated functionality".
Googled that btw and nothing came up useful.
@@StudioDaVeed ok thanks
Gonna order mine soon. One question though. What shifter do you use? I was wanting to get a STG gear jammer knob but i dont think i can wait 4-5 months
I run automatics and just use buttons.
If you want to clutch and shift; many use the paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
That can get hairy in a turn I hear!
@@StudioDaVeed I got ya. I am currently running a g920 shifter but I was wanting a different knob
Yeah... I ordered an STG gear jammer 5 months ago on what was supposed to be a 3-month turnaround. That guy is in way over his head and has no business sense. I'm about to cancel my order for a refund and find another shifter knob option.
Build you shifter it's really not that hard. I built mine the only thing I struggled on was programming the arduino micro.but mine cost me bout 50.00 to build. There couple UA-cam videos. Good luck on shifter. Sim panel has there shifter on sale for 116.0 usd. Good luck
UPDATE: I received my STG shifter shortly after posting my other comment. Good product. Just takes one person a long time to complete.
how did you get the lights on the panel color coordinated?
I do not recall right now, but it is in the instructions.
MINE is on order!!
You'll love it.
Were you looking at the ASP box also?
Or just saw this and said I have to have it?
ATS Accessories builds and sells button boxes for use in ATS
good luck i ordered and never received my item given it was only a 60$ accessory amazon i
s recommended
Just bought 2 boxes off sim panel with the cb communications, hopefully I don’t get scammed 🙏
You'll be pleased.
how is it
@@Logan-gi8hj
Working fine!
@@StudioDaVeed Mine's comin monday
@@StudioDaVeed I love mine & you will too. This thankfully is no scam. Although I do have issues with Trailer brake buts only button it I'm struggling with getting it to work right all other buttons work as there supposed too. Really easy to setup.
Would be nice to see how the buttons behave and sound. Can the face plate be changed? I see on their site that you can order labels, guessing the labels can be changed? Thank you much!
The buttons all function as you'd expect from similar buttons/switches in other applications.
Knobs like stereo knobs and toggles like any other toggle switch.
The push buttons are actually deeper than you might think but makes them feel really sturdy vs a soft push button.
Face plate can not be switched out.
As ordered; labels are laser printed on the face plate so really you could print out your own and appropriately attach them. ;)
@@StudioDaVeed thank you for the follow up!
Great review!!! I have a question... It works with other pc racing games? Or only with ATS or ETS2?
I would imagine the buttons would act as any key press in any game that was mapped.
My Bluetooth 10 key key pad is mapped differently for ATS and iRacing so the button box should work with any other game with different mapping.
@@StudioDaVeed Thank's man
Excuse me... I have another question... When you use the ignition key... It's like a a real car? I mean... It returns by itself?
@@1984oscargomez
Yes it does.
@@StudioDaVeed Thank you
A comment that disappeared asked how long to be delivered.
Less than a week for me.
I haven't had any problems with the button box except the engine brake what
Wait if the buttons come back out does that mean your lights turn off because driving a school bus I would use it for my warning light then opene the door how would it work
Each button is 'one way' - so on a school bus sim to activate warning light - you would set a button to open - pressing that button again would close the door.
Same with the doors.
You could set doors or warning lights on the air brake knobs - in to activate - out to shut off...but then you'd have no air brake switch.
Your other comment to customize the button text doesn't show - the text is set - you can change it.
@@StudioDaVeed thank you I deleted last comment because it sounded crazy lol
You mentioned you use a keypad for looking up, down and around. You really should get yourself a Track-ir. A must have for any driving sim. It will make your iracing and truck driving experience so much better.
I have one and just can't get used to it.
I'm better with the Truck but iRacing no go...I turn the direction I'm looking, lol.
iRacing a quarter second look left blip is all I need if that.
@@StudioDaVeed it takes some practice, once you set up the sensitivity maps its waaaay smoother. E.G. I added a decent deadband by making it non-linear especially near the center. Also what helps is having multiple monitors. Either that or you have a monitor that moves around with you haha.
does it work for racing games and ETS ATS
Yes.
In iracing I have some functions mapped to the buttons.
And yes it's specifically designed for the truck simulators.
do you have to have a steering wheel??
Or a controller.
Trailer Air Supply is Trailer Brake, also I saw in another comment, that you have TrackIR and dont use it because you cant get used to it are you selling it by chance?
I'm gonna keep the TrackIR for if/when I get back into the Flight Simulator.
I think they are on Amazon...
Suggestion for any future product reviews, actually use the product to show your viewers how things actually work. You explained things well but people like to see functionality, not just a picture of the item.
True; but as this is a very specific button box - I figured if you were here you knew you wanted one and why - just which one?
@@StudioDaVeed I do want one but I don't know which. This is how i came across your video. Actually showing the unit working and how "hard" it is to turn the ignition would have helped with my decision.
@@dragbug100
Ok, like I mentioned in the video - 'very hard' to turn - very nice spring. If it's not bolted down - you need two hands one to hold the box and one to turn the key.
hope that helps some.
Their not the only one
Uh, yeah.
2 years ago there was a tremendous wait list/time for all the other major units.
Not this one.
I ordered mine after seeing this video and guess what? Looks GREAT, but doesn't WORK!! A little disappointed since I had anticipated using it.
Ok, there are no drivers - it's plug and play.
Another viewer had a damaged unit.
Contact the company - the other viewer reported instant customer support response and had a functioning unit sent.
But double check and make sure you're using a USB 3.0 port.
I know many PCs have limited 3.0 ports and 'everyone' says use it for their hardware - but switch things around and see what happens.
Good Luck!
@@StudioDaVeed I am please to announce that I received my Sim-Panel Button box today and it is already setup and functioning like a charm. One word about this device and company. The device is as professional looking as they come and built good, but sometimes even then they can't handle the shipping process of the transaction. The company immediately issued and RMA, and another was received. One HAPPY Customer and YOU will be too!
@@tcrow555
So nice and refreshing to hear of Superb Customer Service these days!!!
Again another thing that's only posted within the country. I was ready to pay 360$ AUD to find that they don't ship outside the US
That sucks, yes....
simply don’t live outside of the us
driver where
No driver - plug and play.
