Simagic Alpha Mini on Gran Turismo 7! Sigma Cortex & DriveHub GIMX Playstation 5 Adapter Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- The Sigma Cortex adapter is an absolute game changer for Gran Turismo 7 & any other racing game that natively supports the Fanatec GT DD Pro. If you didn't know, this adapter takes your Simagic Alpha Wheelbase's & emulates a GT DD Pro to the PS5. This allows for seamless gameplay PLUG AND PLAY! Also we'll be going over the nuances of having non Simagic pedals and how to get around that with the DriveHub & GIMX 8.0 Adapter.

@gster109
I have the same question. I use the GT Neo with the Alpha Base.
The FFB settings of the Sigma Converter are never loaded at the first start. I always have to change the memory profile from 1 to 2 and then back to 1 so that the settings are loaded.
The buttons for the MFD are also not assigned for the GT Neo and have to be reassigned at every start. This applies to firmware 1.1.4/1.1.5 and 1.1.6. The RPM display on the GT Neo does not work with firmware 1.1.5!
Which firmware are you currently using for sigma on gt7? And does everything work well? Thx
Latest firmware and yes everything is perfect.
Hi!!! First of all, thanks x your information!!!! How are you???
So, if you read this and can please help me. 3 questions. (Sorry my english is horrible)
1
There is a way to adapt and properly use a fanatec csl Dd 8 nm to a ps4 or ps5??? The dd pro is soo expensive
2
Is posible to use an alpha mini in ps4 with fanatec pedals???? How simagic wheel adapters work??
3
With this kind of Drive hub, in case number 1 answer is afirmative... Can you use a fanatec base, wheel and pedals, with a handbrake and gear stick from another company in ps4/5 by conecting it to the base or Drivehub?
Thanks x your time. Hi everyone
you will need a drivehub and GIMX adapter to use different pedals anything other than Simagic ones.
question 3 is yes, you will need the 2 adapters I mentioned^^
Hey man thanks for the video. I got my Simucube 2 Pro and Heusinkveld pedals running with Gimx and Drive Hub. It gets recognized as G29 but with the “glitch” of holding starts and select, it’s now working in Fanatec CSL mode. I’m actually really satisfied with the FFB. Even though the CSL is also belt driven.
Is there any chance to get my setup also recognized as Fanatec DD Pro? How did you managed to do that?
Yeah the CSL mode is pretty good but damn the DD signal is a huge game changer imo. Unfortunately the way I do that is with the sigma cortex adapter which tricks the drivehub into thinking I have a CSL DD. You could try just buying the adapter & plugging it into the drivehub then going back to the gimx setup which is what I did but idk if the cortex will want a simagic wheel conntected to send that info over to the drivehub before u switch back to gimx mode. Hope that makes sense.
@@gster109 Thanks! Yes I thought about the adapter as well. But that would mean another station where the signals go through. And more input lag.
The FFB is actually surprisingly good as it is and I can live with it. Didnt expect it will be this good. I hope one day they will make a Fanatec DD firmware for Gimx, if that is even possible.
@@Sele81 input lag shouldnt be an issue. I highly recommend it. That DD signal is a game changer!
@@gster109 So just to be clear. You use a simagic wheel. That is connected to your PC and not to your cortex adapter?
So it is: Simagic and pedals on PC -> GIMX -> Cortex -> DD Hub -> PS5 ??
If so, what firmware do you use on Gimx? Since there is only G27 and G29 as an option for wheels. So, if so, the Gimx sends a G29 signal to your Cortex adapter but that changes the signal to a Fanatec DD Pro?
Or did I got it all wrong and you use only cortex? Because in the video you say you use GIMX.
Thanks for the help btw.
@@Sele81 ya exactly with the GIMX adapter in g27 ps3 flash mode then to drivehub. Cortex was just used to initially trick the drivehub & its in the box now not in the chain between pc to ps5 now.
Hey hey! About to about to press the go button on full simagic mostly for playing ACC. I’m wondering if I can customise some stuff like button emulation layout or the lights through simagic software and then have it work when plugging all in to ps5 through the sigma cortex
I think you can change the lights thru PC software which will save indefinitely but the layout, if using just sigma cortex is fully predefined no customizing button layout unless ACC supports it. GT7 does.
@@gster109 thanks some one on discord said buttons can be changed in sim pro
Broke my ultimate buying a mini to replace it lol was a freak accident don't ask haha.
Dude I've never ever seen ffb like this on gt7 holy crap.
I love how the simagic mini shaft is looser so it feels like it moves so freely ans easily meaning all of those forces come through so well. The ultimate needs more forces to push it due to the shaft feeling tighter anyways. So I'm excited man.
I can attest with simagic all you need is 10nm lol. Even the 23nm wheelbase I just never use above that. So yeah simagic has very strong little motors idk how they do it but the speed is also next level the snap for corrections is the best out of anybody imo.
Once you dial in the settings the FFB on this game it is absolutely phenomenal, glad you noticed it in the vid !!
Also like I mentioned in the video I have mine set at 3NM & Total force to 100%, basically the opposite of what everyone including Simagic recommends but I am totally blown away by how good it feels. Very close to emulating a real steering rack.
The snap corrections are indeed next level I am beyond happy with my Alpha Mini.
Thanks for watching!
Hi man, going to switch from Fanatec to Simagic to use in GT7. Is in this case iyo simagic better than Fanatec? And why? Thanks!!
@@gster109 Hi man, going to switch from Fanatec to Simagic to use in GT7. Is in this case iyo simagic better than Fanatec? And why? Thanks!!
@@franbonmati3572 I haven’t used fanatec DD personally but just due to the build quality and sturdiness of the Simagic & also the fact that with the sigma adapter you get true DD signal I would switch over to Simagic.
hi, great video, one question, what is the wheel settings that you use for simagic mini? i have a simagic u but i am still testing for a better settings for gt7👍
100% FFB
3NM
10% mechanical friction & Dampening
Hi mate, I've just got my sigma adapter and it doesn't seem to be working, I've got everything plugged in but when I press the ps button it doesn't seem to work, I've got the PS logo, car logo and the tick but not the controller
What gear are you using ??
Bonjour,merci pour vos renseignements,😊
No problem! Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions.
Do you need both adapters to get it to think it’s a dd pro?
Nope, if you have simagic pedals too it will show up as a DD pro. The drivehub is only for unsupported pedals to work.
@@gster109I’m looking to go with the alpha mini, neo gt wheel, and keep my fanatec v3 pedals. Will this work with just the sigma encoder or what else will I need? Thanks!
@@GTALLDAY16 you’ll need a GIMX & DriveHub Adapter.
Is there added latency?
None at all, it’s 1 to 1. Perfection.
@@gster109looks like I’m going simagic
@@alanvictorrenoYou won’t be disappointed. What pedals will you run?
@@gster109I think I’m going to run the simagic 1000
@@alanvictorreno you’ll be golden w this adapter then👍
Anyone try The Sigma Cortex adapter on Simucube Pro 2 ?
As far as I know it won’t work.
It's only for SIMAGIC gear
@@gster109 damn , I don't want to get another wheelbase 😵💫
@@CGC0.1 you’ll need a gimx adapter & drivehub then.
@@gster109 it also requires a pc 😕
