Hi ! I already own a X-GT wheel. I really enjoy it. It's a really nice made replica with high quality material. I recommend it for all Audi/Lamborghini GT3 simracers. Currently, I have it on a Fanated Podium hub like on your video and I would like to know if I can also use it wireless ? EDIT : I forgot to say that button box looks awesome. :)
Hi, we're still testing fanatec's wireless accessories. When it is completed and mass produced, you can purchase the parts through the dealer. You can use a wireless connection as in video.
@@kronospost135 We tried the scheme of power supply through the podium hub, but fanatec may have some protection mechanisms, which will cause damage to the podium hub in individual cases, so we changed another design scheme
@@simedal2351 Hmm too bad. Fanatec shouldn't protect it... After two seasons of 3 months on iRacing with the Lamborghini GT3, I can tell that your wheel is really nice and the only thing missing is a way to use it without cable. You did a really great work. I hope to see more from Simedal in the future. :)
HI. congratulations for the video and for your post is beautiful. I wanted to ask you if you connected the x-gt steering wheel to the fanatec. if so which one and how? thank you in advance.
Hello, we have tried some solutions to use wireless connectivity on Fanatec, and one of them may cause damage to the product hardware, so we have abandoned the previous solution. We will introduce a QR to replace the podium HUB, and power the steering wheel through the QR to achieve wireless connectivity.
Beautiful wheel !! I really want to buy one but I have a few questions… - Is it sold with the podium hub, or do you have to buy it yourself from Fanatec ? - Does it connect to the DD1 base through the podium hub (like all Fanatec wheel) or is it wireless ? - 300 mm in diameter ? Thank you 👍🏻
You need to purchase the podium hub separately at fanatec. It will make fanatec equipment work through the podium hub, and then you can choose to use the existing wired method to connect to the PC, or choose to use the wireless 2.4G signal receiver to connect wirelessly with the PC (under test and will be sold separately in the near future). The steering wheel diameter is 300mm
@@simedal2351 ouch ! This is going to be an expensive ride... 😅 But thank you very much for answering to all of my questions ! I am still going to pre-order it anyway when it opens in december 👌
I see on the website there is a half and full Simagic hub. Are either one required to connect to the Fanatec hub or does the wheel connect directly to it?
Only one simagic QR is required on the simagic base A podium hub and wired connection are required on the fanatec base. We are developing fanatec wireless connection accessories in video The steering wheel is powered by the podium hub, and a separate USB signal receiver is used to connect wirelessly with the computer. It has not been sold yet, and some technical problems still need to be solved.
At present, only wired connection can be used on simucube base. Simucube's wireless solution function is too simple to support clutch paddles, and the chip provided by simucube is too large to be put into the steering wheel. We plan to provide a wireless component for simucube in the future, which consists of additional power supply and signal receiver. This requires a long development time for testing. At present, you can use wired connection on simucube.
Yes, at present, it can be used on fanatec base through podium hub and wired connection. We are testing fanatec's unlimited connection accessories, which can realize wireless function in the future.
Universal hub can also be used, but its volume is a little large. The antenna on the steering wheel needs to be removed. If it is used in the future wireless environment, the signal may be unstable. Therefore, we prefer to use the podium hub
Hello, does this wheel have wireless connection with Simucube 2 or directly to PC? If yes then what is the battery life? Thanks

Will the button box be for sale at some point? It would really complement this awesome wheel.
@@simedal2351 Any news about these wireless accessories ? :)

@@simedal2351 thanks im gonna be looking forward to it.
very clever! hope more wheels take advantage of this
i want that button box. I hope it is your future project
What are you using for the dash in terms of software ?
SIMHUB
What wheel is that? I know it says x-gt but what brand like where can I find it?

Does the wireless mod work with simucube 2?

@@simedal2351 any news?
@@simedal2351 I am really interested in that cable too ! The one provided with the wheel isn't the most practical to be honest...
@@simedal2351 just wondering if you have continued development of the podium hub cable?
Can it work with the Fanatec universal hub?

What dash (model name) you use?
ACC-CDS
@@simedal2351 i meant the dashboard (lcd screen) what model it is? 5”? Thanks.
@@amigoz3201 yep
Any chance you can release files for the button box?
Not at all. The wheel is integrated with the buttons.
What button box is that?
It's a DIY work, not our product
@@simedal2351 looking nice
Where can i buy this Button box?
