So glad you like it ! I did my best to make it the best ! Generally speaking, people making the gearbox from A to Z would have a better idea of how to make it work. I would even had that people willing to spend time on it could refine the feeling for both h and seq ! If you think that the unit I sent is the best you can get you're wrong XD To swap from H to Seq, you need to push on carriage to unlock the slider 🙂 Love your opinion about the way it's mounted ! I could make it opened on both sides too ! Thanks again ! I have been working for years. It's probably thousands of hour of work now. But it would have gone nowhere without people feedbacks !
I love this concept! I'm almost tempted to get the designs and price out how much getting the internals made from CNC parts would cost, or if I can bum some time from my universities machine shop
@@LaurenceDusoswa I already had decided that i am to lazy and that i won't put a lockout into it when i'll build my new h-pattern next year. Guess that decision went out of the window. THX Laurence... 😆
I built and have a V9.1 Shifter. One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that you can change the shifting feel independently for both H-pattern and sequential modes by 3d printing and swapping out little shift tracks that snap into the slider cylinder. You can make it harder/easier, more or less clacky, etc. And it's actually pretty easy to switch between H and Seq modes, you just need to press down on the spring loaded carriage while you turn the cylinder.
I printed a v9, it does seem like a great bit of kit and with the many "tracks" he supplied you can achieve the feel you want, smokth or clunky etc. Mostly though this is a great diy techy project and really satisfying to build. For me the building process and satisfaction alone had considerable value! Also theoretically the clutch lock could make you shift faster as you can pre apply some force to the shifter and then quickly dip the clutch and it immediately shifts. Easier to do on a road race on the straight.
I'm seriously thinking about ordering the kit. I have a SIM MAGIC DS-8X and only use it in H-Pattern mode and am not happy with the feel of the shift, ie no real mechanical feel or resistance even with it wound right up. Have you used the sim magic shifter? if so how does this compare with it?
I actually swapped the DS-8X back on to the rig temporarily and the shift is nowhere near as good as the SRT. Don't get me wrong, the DS-8X gives a good mid range shift and is super reliable but the feel and satisfaction of the SRT is something else. If you have the funds, order the kit. Then sell the one you like least.
Great video, as always. I have a question. So if I have the project and a 3d printer, I have to buy only the components already listed on aliexpress? Is there everything I need?
The shifter looks really good. only thing i'm curious about is when the shifter is mounted in the "right"side how will the cables run. also on the outside or the inside
in a real gearbox you can get it ouf of gear to neutral without clutching in, it should only lock the gears in and no the outs if no load is applied to the drivetrain (throttle off)
Matter of fact I prefer buying 3d printed stuff from individual etsy sellers than official mounts, etc. I've never had a 3d printed part fail on me In the past couple of years.
Hard to say, really. Both are incredible but the SRT is nearly half the price and has more functionality. For a high end consumer, BDH all the way. For someone who likes a bit of DIY and 3D printing, the SRT all the way.
Good video, but the camera is killing the watchability of your driving. I suppose you are using ultrawide or tripple screen? Check out SleepyPants SimRacing, he has a good camera setup in his latest videoes at least for ultrawides. But other than that, thumbs up.
Which camera? This video is about the products more than the driving, maybe that’s the distinction? Open to feedback. There are just a lot of cameras in this video so I need a bit more specific info :) thanks for the comment
@LaurenceDusoswa i am talking about the ingame footage, camera was the wrong term, sorry for that. I am talking about the wierd FOW, making the car look like it is bearly moving forward, and rotation of the car looks way too fast. This is common when posting in 16:9 from a 32:9 screen.
@Spartancat02 it’s a slow car and that’s my actual FOV :) I use a 16:9 screen but am on triples. I’m not going to adjust my FOV or drive differently to normal for the video though. This is just the way it is unfortunately.
@@LaurenceDusoswa I see, have you tried capturing the entire setup, 48:9 😂 The way Sleepy pants simracing does it though only 32:9, is by putting the screen footage on the top half of the video screen, and face, pedal, and foot cam on the bottom half. i do not know how well it would work for you, but it may be worth a try.
Nope. It’s not something that I want to change, to be honest. I don’t see it as an issue. Not saying it isn’t an issue for you, but I don’t see it as a big enough issue to change anything about how I present these videos. I want to keep the effort levels low also, as this isn’t my full time job.
This is when people that don't drive make stuff for people that don't know nothing about cars but still judge what is a car simulator. The clutch is not what blocks the gear shifts and that option is as unreal as Forcefeedback on the Pedals. I will not offend the builder of this device, because that is really a nice built. You want a suggestion of how to block gears? Use front rear acceleration, after a certain amount of Gforce the gears lock, then clutch release makes sense. You are welcome
Feel like you're missing the point here. It's not always possible to simulate exactly the 'how it works' for sim racing, but this idea simulates the effects of what happens. And saying FFB on pedals is wrong?? You feel heaps through pedals in a car, I know it's not 'exactly the same' as how it works in a real car, but trying to simulate what you feel is the entire point of sim racing.
Agreed. We're just trying to get what we can from the hardware as we don't have lots of the real car feelings. It doesn't have to be real, it just has to trick us into feeling real.
This project relies more on CNC custom and industrial parts than 3D printing. You see many fancy (and expensive) shifters than are fully CNC outside but using shitty components inside, so don't trust outward appearances
You didn't understand correctly, the files are next to nothing, the metal internals and electronics cost the money. If you choose to pay for the files to be printed that adds cost but these are some long prints so there's a fair bit of printing time to pay for.

you have done a really great job. its cool to print the part in the colours you like
Congratulations on the project! Is it possible to buy the files to print? Can you provide a link if yes?
ordering mine now

@leboisracingfr Can you give an explanation of the optional mods listed on the website: mod handbrake, joystick, button plate, eclutch?
Dude that clutch lockout is a genius idea! Something we had no idea we needed but we do. We've always had a lack of "missing gears" in sim racing.
I have one on my sequetial shifter. Since 2015 😋
@@heikoscheuermann what shifter r u using?

I mention that early on in the unboxing section. But yes it’s an important point
that lock out gets me excited in ways a gamer controller should not xD
hahaha
Great first impressions vid. Thanks as always Lawrence
Cheers dude!
I am going to get started building one of these, amazing project. So much work has been out into this by an amazingly committed hobbyist! Love it
Pretty cool. I saw race beyond matters review of the Aiologs H-Pattern, it looks incredible.
I haven’t watched that. I’m not too impressed with their handbrake and sequential.
Every one of his reviews are sensationalized, can’t trust racing beyond matters.
Amazining shifter! Can't believe the amount of time Lebois has put into it
A serious amount of dedication has been put into this
To change from H pattern to sequential mode press down on the spring at the side faceing you then turn the knob.
yeah I figured it out since :p Thanks! Actually, I think you messaged me to tell me :p
Awesome piece of kit!
Seriously cool 😍

Yeah I mention the tracks or teeth early in the video. As for the ‘quick shift’, I’m not convinced that’s beneficial but if it works for you, great :)

Hahaha Nice one 😂

Yeah the ali express bits and the 3d STLs are all you need
The squeaking is from the springs. All you need is some loob
Nah it was parts rubbing. He's sending me new parts. Small assembly mistake. Shouldn't affect anyone else
Amazing shifter. I would use a longer shifter handle in sequential mode and think the movement would be perfect. I'm getting one.
Nice!
The shifter looks really good. only thing i'm curious about is when the shifter is mounted in the "right"side how will the cables run. also on the outside or the inside
During the installation Timelapse you can see the cables. They stick straight out of one side and are a little vulnerable
@@LaurenceDusoswai think it should be better with right angle cables
So cool!
Seriously cool
Can you give an explanation of the optional mods listed on the website: mod handbrake, joystick, button plate, eclutch?
not sure about handbrake. the joystick is the mouse. button plate is the buttons around the shifter. eclutch is the clutch lockout.
Ford SportKa also has that gearnob.
really! nice
@@LaurenceDusoswa really really.
How do ya get a mawsheen to do that? Good stuff!
😂🤣😂
I think you can easily fix the orientation of the joystick by turning it 180 degrees.
Unfortunately not
What is the length of the shifter stick?
The shortest one
Wow that's top notch 👌
Class isn’t it
Awesome product, just one issue you should be able to drop out of gear without the clutch 😅very very cool shifter
Would be nice :D Maybe it's possible
Very cool
Deadly isn’t it. I’m delighted so far
Guess i’ll have to put my printer to work and print one in PN colors! 😁
Hahahaha that would be awesome 😂😂😂
You could try test driving Audi GTO from iRacing to use H pattern :) (or Sequential)
The real question is would it pass thebMr May test
😂😂😂
How's this vs the BASH Shifter?
I can’t answer that question unfortunately
Would love to see a back-to-back comparison
Compatibility with Fanatec and Xbox?
For the gears, I'd say it's possible with Drivehub. but the mouse & clutch lockout wont
21:00 that flex is a bit too much for my taste. but thats the downside of the open design which is a huge bonus.
Any flex you see is my mount which wasn't final. The gearbox definitely doesn't flex
in a real gearbox you can get it ouf of gear to neutral without clutching in, it should only lock the gears in and no the outs if no load is applied to the drivetrain (throttle off)
Yep. Technically it should be possible but it gets a lot more complex
With the plastic housing I'd be scared of it breaking over time
compare to bash pro (lockout feature) its so much cheaper
I need to have a look at that shifter. Lots of people have mentioned it
😍
Not bad hey. Bit 3d printery but still on a budget its very good
Hahaha 3D printery :) I know what you mean
I’m always concerned with the longevity of 3D printed stuff.
Its extremely long lasting. The plastics are hard as rock these days.
Matter of fact I prefer buying 3d printed stuff from individual etsy sellers than official mounts, etc. I've never had a 3d printed part fail on me In the past couple of years.
Seems to not be an issue

its nice but it's big
Definitely large. It does real work though
That's what she didn't say.

What is the length of the shaft on the unit you were sent as there are 3 options in the list, 200mm, 250mm and 300mm
It’s probably 200 or 250. I would imagine 250.
@@LaurenceDusoswa i'd say 200. I always go for 200. Far easier to ship XD

Way to expensive for just 3d print files.
