    I felt this was super out of touch with the average person getting into sim racing. No human should be spending this much money on something unless they are 100% confident they're going to be deep into the hobby, or budget isn't an issue.
    Personally for anyone looking to 'get started' in 2024. Go onto marketplace, and pick up a used g27 or g29 rig for less than $150. Gives you time to confirm you enjoy and offers a bloody brilliant value for money proposition. Once you're stuck in, then you can think about spending $700+ on something you know you'll love if it's in your budget.

      I think this is a good video for your 2nd sim setup. Used G27, G29, driving force gt, to start for sure.
      That said, if you already have experience sim racing (say at a friend's house) and are sure you want to continue with the hobby, I do think you should skip the G27 and go for a $7-800 setup.
      I had a G27 for years, and recently upgraded to an alpha mini and simjack pro pedals. The difference is huge and I wish I would've made the upgrade much sooner. You can probably be just as fast with a G27, but a dd wheel and load cell pedals makes for a much better feel, more akin to driving a real car.

    • @ThomasHOL
      @ThomasHOL 26 днів тому +4

      I do agree that if you have never raced anything this is quite high spending when you can start with a G29 strappede to your desktop so you get a feel for how it is racing. also i feel that he is disregarding the Moza R5 bundle. In my country its only about 120$ more expensive and there is night and day difference in those sets.
      Personally i'm disregarding my own advice a bit. 20 years i had a stearin wheel for racing it was without force feedback or anything else. but it was hard getting it to work and having to set it up and take down all the time ment that i didn't use i to much. But ever since that time i have wanted a dedicated rig and every time i had the opportunity to jump in one i did. Now my oldest kid have moved away from home and i finally have the space to build a setup. So i'm going to buy a cockpit, find a 50+ tv to put on the wall and then go for a Moza R5 set. Yes i dont know if im going to use it as much as i hope but i have to give it a go.

    • @Driver_1227
      @Driver_1227 25 днів тому

      I couldn't agree more. I started with the G29 cause I wanted a wheel that I could use on my PC and PlayStation5. Now that I'm hooked I'm looking at these more expensive upgrades. Tho my big game of choice is American Trucking Sim. the one of choice for me is gonna be the Moza for the fact they offer a truck wheel. And they have a packaged deal for $689. I'll just have to pick up the truck wheel later down the road. No pun intended lol. But yeah get a cheaper wheel to make sure you're gonna spend some actual time using it otherwise it could turn into money wasted in the corner of your space.

    • @Erowens98
      @Erowens98 25 днів тому

      Yeah, something like a used T300, with t3pa pedals. Clamped to your desk, or if you want, bolted to a cheap and dirty 2x4 custom rig (those cost like 40$ and an evening of work) and a junkyard car seat. If you want an H-pattern coupled with an SHH newt. You're talking less than the cost of just the motor for the direct drive offerings. And are gonna have plenty of fun. You can then upgrade later when you get a better idea of what your looking for.
      Personally id avoid G27/G29 because they're less powerful and less smooth than the t300 and on the used market, at least where i live, usually around the same price.

This results in NO cogging when you turn the wheel on the Mini and is really smooth plus stronger ffb than the others mentioned. I also use it with the GT Neo wheel and VRS pedals. Just an awesome combination.

    This is a very niche scenario, but if you're gaming on Linux, the CSL DD has community drivers that work really well, I am currently using these drivers as I fully switched to Linux. I used my CSL DD on a dual booted Windows a few months ago so I can compare, and it feels exactly the same with community drivers on Linux. As far as direct drive wheels go, I think Moza doesn't really work under Linux so if that's your use case, consider going with the CSL DD.
    ACC works well, I am having fun on LFM with it on Linux. AMS2 works great as well, so does rFactor 2. iRacing TECHNICALLY can work well, but the anticheat blocks the ability to play iRacing. I will be trying to reach out to the team as recently they switched to a new AC and for like a week it was possible to run iRacing on Linux but they patched something and now it kicks you as soon as you join a session.

  • @smallbutdeadly931

    I've used the Moza HGP before, and it was nothing but issues. It would need constant re-calibrating due to going from neutral into 4th gear not working, and constantly losing it's place where shifting into 1st gear would put you in 3rd gear.
    I heard that fanatec's shifter has the same issue.
    Simagic' H-shifter, on the other hand, has worked perfectly fine since I got it. If you want a more reliable H-shifter that won't need constant fixing, go for that instead. Its more than double the price of Moza but 100% worth it.

    I respect this guy's opinion immensely, but I have to disagree on the wheelbase. If you can afford the extra cash spend it here and go with the alpha mini. He says it's no much of an upgrade but with the 5-pole servo motor and higher bit rate encoder I genuinely think it's more than worth the ~$100

    • @OCRacing
      @OCRacing  Місяць тому

      Hey I appreciate it. Looking at the specs the Alpha mini is better, as you mentioned. However, I’ve found that in-game, apart from feeling a bit more powerful at its highest FFB setting, the detail and overall feedback is very very similar. To some, that added torque may be worth the extra price and that’s totally fair. However, when you also take into account that simagic’s wheels are also (for the most part) more expensive than most of Fanatec’s or Moza’s, it begins to turn the tables a bit. Furthermore, Fanatec has integrated Xbox compatibility on many wheels thus allowing the CSL DD to work on that console and Moza is beginning to do the same - two other factors I took into consideration and thus came up with my final recommendation. At the end of the day though, all three are excellent.

    I think its important to consider yes the simagic alpha mini is more expensive the the moza r9 or the fanatec csl DD, but it also is a more powerful base. The moza r9 has a peak of 9nm, the csl DD is 5 nm or 8 nm with the boost kit, but the simagic alpha mini is 10nm, and thats sustained torque not peak. For the price of $539 to get 10 nm sustained is a good deal. (Also their pedals are some of the best in the business too, you just review the p1000 pedals)

Sustained would probably work out to around 12 to 13 peak, which is actually significant. Also, with Fanatec, if you want to use a 3rd party wheel and get force feedback, you need to purchase a quick release AND a $150 podium hub, only need a qr with the other 2 products.

    Overall, these recommendations are great. I use an R9/ES Steering Wheel on my desk, and I can say that I probably would have put the ES Steering wheel as the pick for MOZA. While the wheel is smaller, you can buy a 12-in wheel mod from the website for $80 dollars, which would total $210, being cheaper than the CS V2P. I also do a lot of formula racing and it also comes with a formula wheel mod so you get a 2 in 1 and don't have to swap out.

    From someone who lives in Canada and plays on console (PS5), a tip of advice for other Canadians, you're much better off getting the Logitech G Pro DD wheel instead of the Fanatec ones. While the ecosystem is definitely better, if you're like me and don't really care about having 2-3 different wheels and all the other accessories, then it's perfectly fine. Logitech also said that more offerings are going to be available in the future and the Logitech G Hub software on PC recently got updated with notes that included support for a future ecosystem, so it may be coming soon.
    The base itself is more powerful than the cheapest Fanatec bundles, even when combined with the Pro Pedals. Fanatec doesn't sell the 5NM version by itself, it forces you to get the more expensive 8NM version if you just want the wheel base, and then you still have to get a rim and pedals. The bundle isn't that great either since the pedals it offers is legitimate dogshit and you WILL most likely upgrade to a load cell anyways.
    and the MOST important thing is that Logitech has free shipping to Canada. Fanatec is notoriously bad with shipping costs and mis-marking the quantity of what you bought so whenever it reaches Canadian Customs, they make you pay a SHIT TON of duty and taxes on it, raising the price to insane levels.

    bought the R3 as soon as Moza re released it, unfortunately a plastic inside the USB port in the Wheel Base and ive been going back and forth with Moza for 2 months on trying to get a fix. It took them a month to send me a new motherboard and even sent me a video on how to replace it. Problem was that the wheel base they used to show me how to switch out the motherboard in the wheel base was completely different to the R3 and did not tell me i needed wire soldering tools. So now we opted to send me a shipping label to send back my bundle and when they receive it they'll send me a new R3 bundle. I genuinely have no words, i thought customer service wasn't that bad at Moza but the really slow email replies and that whole wrong wheel base being used to show me how to replace a motherboard thing was just annoying. In the video they sent it as all just unscrew the old and screw back on the new. But there was a gold peice in the R3 that was NOT in the video they sent and it was a grey peice. said peice was keeping me from completing the switch. Im getting tired of this I just want to use my wheel lol

Magically received tracking number next day. Refused the delivery and I am currently in month two of fighting for my money back. Went on a site out of California, ordered Moza, had it in two days.

    For me Now me and my dad own a SIM rig and we have a T300RS and the rest is fanatec. And I will say that what ever you do or want… never and I mean NEVER buy logitech SIM stuff brand new unless its like the shifter. Because its not worth it.
    I suggest you get it used so you know if you like it or not and then you can upgrade to like fanatec or moza on the budget side.
    I suggest either starting with thrustmaster or completly skipping it. Because when we got the T300RS right after fanatec made their budget Bundle where you get like a wheel, pedals and the dd motor which is pretty amaizing and I suggest that.
    And I can say that direct drive wheels are absolutely amaizing and being able to get a dd setup for like ≈500€? Is pretty insane.
    So Yeah I suggest getting something super cheap that has force Feedback and then upgrading to better stuff.

    Good video altogether, but I really feel like you missed a gem with shifters and I'm talking about SHH shifter. In your review from 2 years ago stadard mounting that you were using was really weak, I've got mine with side mount and it is still rock solid. I've got mine for 1,5 hear now and everything is still working exactly as it should with no problem at all. Longetivity and sturdiness of it is really great and I cannot recommend it enough, specially for a price (€109). Easy to customize as well, got Ford gear knob with sleeve on it and it didn't missed a beat.

    Handbrake alone for 200 lol. You can buy a second hand logitech g29 for that price with the h shifter and pedals to go with.
    Anyone who wants to try sim racing should just go with a g29. It is by far the best value package and will service you well for any sort of driving: track, rally or street racing. If this is just a hobby to you then the g29 is all you'll ever need.

    • @jauhis_

    I notice a lot of reviews mention how things look which I'm sure some people care about but most shopping at lower price points like me probably don't care about looks especially for things you don't really see like the pedals but I guess it could be important for streamers/content creators. I just know that companies listen to reviews and such and sometimes they focus on the wrong thing when trying to create a new product or improve an existing one. Would be a shame if they sacrifice a bit of efficiency in order to make something look nicer or raise the price point.

    I'd go Alpha Mini with a GT Neo over Fanatec or Moza. As for pedals, I'd pick the Simforge Mark 1 although the Cammus look interesting at that price point. The Fanatec ready2race McLaren bundle is probably a good starter, I'd still rather see people save a little more and get better equipment to start. Good choices on cockpits.

    @OCRacing objectively disagree. Moza is great for entry level R5 but beyond that no. Components quality are sacrificed and advertised power ratings are, well, exaggerated. Furthermore, only Simagic can do 360hz FFB on iracing. And no need to shell out extra for mounting if you can't do bottom mount. The list goes on. This is coming across like a moza sponsored ad disguised as a review. I mean come on, moza pedals and shifters are really low quality. Even the handbrake isn't even a true loadcell that's why it's cheap. "Aviation grade" aluminum? Are you just repeating the what's printed on the box or have you actually verified this claim? It's all marketing BS

Depending on where you are, these are NOT AFFORDABLE and not everyone have deep pockets for these options. A used G29 or T300 should suffice.

This video felt super out of touch from reality of an average person thinking about starting sim racing. Get a second hand g29/g920 or other options in that price range and if your budget allows T300 rs Gt for PS5 as it will be far more cheaper and will give you a great entry point into sim racing. Also, some of my friends who compete on top levels still use g29 with upgraded load cell for brake pedals. Spending $1000 on a hobby you are not sure about isn't smart in any way.

Even if you have the space for them, it's too big of an investment for a begginer.
