don’t be embarrassed about your AMAZING set up man!! every proper sim racing fan would absolutely adore to have that haha! 🔥🔥🔥
i’ve got a thrustmaster T GT 2 and TLCP with a playseat trophy and i also race with my PSVR2 on ps5.
only been racing for a year but i absolutely LOVE it!!! 😂💪
Went from fanatec to simagic but have used many bases. Simagic fits me I went with the ultimaye and couldnt be happier!
Simagic is honestly amazing force feedback, the true underdog in my opinion!
@TheCarDoc1 agreed it's my favorite that's coming from someone who actually got to test side by side simicube.
@TheCarDoc1 wait until you try the ultimate 😉 that's what I own thing blows my mind. Not needed but the details from the motor are so strong they vibrate my entire rig. Also something people don't notice about simagic others don't do. Is when abs kicks in the base tells you if tc kicks in the base tells you. Just gotta pay attention. Haven't felt any others do that. Also the wheel flashes when abs or locking up happens same for when tc kicks in. Things nobody talks about that only simagic does. It's such a huge thing Also and helps so much.
I hope you mention these things when doing more on it in videos with that f1 wheel also! Thanks.
Much happier with my T300 than with the G29 I've had. Altough my "ultimate" upgrade is to get an aluminium extrusion rig & a Moza R5 or R9 as I want to use a generic quick release & dat truck wheel lol
Yeah I’d encourage people to start with a TMX/T150/T248 belt and gear driven model at the very least, or spring up for the T300/TX as someone who’s tried the Logitech gear driven offerings.
T300 is a great starting point and smooth and was the standard for a while until direct drives became more attainable. I still have mine but finally thinking of upgrading to an aluminum rig with a Simagic Alpha wheelbase as I’m getting way too engulfed in iRacing.
@@TarzanGTI you see it is a metter of opinion, some people prefer Logitech g29 because it is more reliable, feels more premium and have better pedals. I peronally bought T150 becaue i prefered it, but it' hard to say it is better product i think
@@MrAsus4870 I’ve owned a TMX which is the Xbox version of your T150, great starter feel but the T300 is just that step up in smoothness. I’ve tried the G gear driven wheels and have friends with them that have tried my T300 or upgraded and much much prefer their upgrades.
As far as pedal goes I upgraded the TMX two pedal ones that were pretty bad for the T3PA ones and then later T-LCM. As a a wheel base, I much much prefer the Thrustmaster offerings. Can’t speak on Logitech pedals as I barely have experience with them.
@@TarzanGTI I do tend to agree, if you can stump for a Thrustmaster belt wheelbase, they tend to be better!
You can experience some amazing races and driving with sim racing, but remember that it’s a hobby and 3 years in, I still like my usual M&K PC games which is why I’m holding off from getting an alumunium profile rig and an ultrawide screen attached to it simply because it costs a TON of money for something I don’t use daily.
Started off on the g920 now using a £200 rig set up with a fanatec GT3 steering wheel and pedals tbh I don't see me going much further than this as tbh it does the job and you can still be quick.
Basically if you like me and do SIM racing aswell as simcade racing when you get free time, then you really don't need high end equipment.
Only ppl that need high end equipment are those that do it for a living and compete
I went from a G29 and NLR GT Lite to a Logitech G Pro and NLR GT Elite with Sony VR2. The cheaper outfit was super fun, and I recommend it for a starting point, and even long term. The G29 family of wheels is severely underrated.
id say skip g29 and add $100 or so to get a Direct drive would be much better
@@Eskoxo Agreed. Until the latest releases of cheap DDs, the G29 and earlier versions were great value for money. I think used G29s would be a great alternative for new players.
@@supercededman Used = G29, New = Entry level direct drive
I found a BRAND NEW g29 in my area at best buy for 229.00....what is a good comparison direct drive wheel? I don't mind spending a extra 100.00..im new to the hobby just 3 months in a d looking to purchase my 1st wheel....i have ps5. GT7.@@TheCarDoc1
I bought the Lovit rsc, 199 euros to pair with g920, it's amazing!!! Rock solid!!!
here for the motion!
Absolutely LOVE IT
tbh the g23-g29 might by bad but it still is better than a controller or a keyboard
Don't forget that some homies are using a MOUSE lol
Bro just got my g923 coming from a controller im in heaven😅 can’t imagine it gettin much better than this!😂
Hi should a buy a cammus c5 with pedals or logitech g920 with f1 mod?
How good is the simagic base compared to other DD BASES LIKE ASETEK ?
The one thing about asetek is its center forces on long corners is to much it's to tight feeling even when lowering settings as laurence explained on other channels. Simagic has a constant smooth flowy feel while nit being overly heavy. Now it may be heavy to you but they like to keep there shaft with less inirtia then other brands. So it helps with that snappy feel.
But of course you could test it. But as reviews have stated comparing asetek with the dd+ they feel almost identical and it's one thing I didn't enjoy about the dd+ also. Like some extra built in inirtia might matter what you do.
Meanwhile you can feel the weight from the simagic is based on the actual ffb being applied not a what I call dead springy weight.
But again we all test and feel things a little differently I guess. It's just been surprising to hear will, random callsigns and other comparing dd+ with it side by side saying they fele very similiar. So if you don't like that fanatec feel you may not like the asetek even if the asetek is higher end and has more power. It's funny random callsigns actually preffered the dd+ in acc over the asetek and that made him keep the dd+ over it.
All great bases. You know I came over from the dd+ I cannot believe how good and responsive the simagic is. That snap is so good also with corrections.
The hype for asetek started because of will but tbh my preferences and many I know are way different. He's someone who reduces a whole lot of settings so it's hard to actually understand his comparisons when the settings are so wildly different. Also eajc bsde uses them differently. I've found every base ive tried all can feel super nice, detailed, fast etc. All can be made to be similiar just some varainces and some differences in the implementation.
Luckily others have tried its a great base but lots of honest people out there who get to test it next to other bases. The top 3 are def simucube simagic and asetek. Can't go wrong with any.
Simagic has blown up over the past 6 months like crazy. Seems like everybody is getting them. Every page that asks for reccomendations 70% of the comments are get simagic and for good reason. Price and the quality you get is just insane. Simagic is very very hard to beat right now. Also luckily super easy just like simicube to use other wheels from different makers. By using the rng qr.
Nrg qr* my bad
Also no reviews ever seem to mention is simagic is one of the only brands through ffb to tell yoy when abs is kicking in or just before you lock up. Same goes for when tc kicks on. They also do it through the wheels the buttons will flash when abs is kicking in or before lockup and also when tc kicks on. The best tools in simracing are that imo and then adding haptics to the brake omg all of that combined it's hard to actually beat simagic they thought about everything. Yet so little reviews actually bring it up.
Massive game changers for me.
@@reviewforthetube6485
I know simagic is better ….. will uses numb settings and then says some weird stuff about feel.
Asetek uses cheaper mige motor with some plastic outside.
I tried a few DD myself and Simagic is best for me.
Do u know about the PID controller is better in v2 and current v3 models with better higher end motion control precision ??
3070 gpu gaming pc $2000?? maybe like 4 years ago lol 4080 self built setup is around $2000 usd. As far as monitor just get lg oled tv and change resolution to ultrawide with black bars bottom/top
AUSTRALIAN Dollars
anyone wanna link up for some racing, I got my setup yesterday and I im trying to get used to a wheel after 4 years of F1 on console and controllers 🤣🤣
Which wheelbase do you prefer the Simucube 2 pro or the Asetek invicta?
simucube still been favorite choice for RL drivers.. however in my own opinion i try both and i prefer simucube because bettet software and aldo better quick realase choice ...
@@emmanuelmoraless ohhh ok
oooh, it's close, but I'd probably say Simucube :-) (Simucube 2 ULTIMATE content incoming)
Yay someone who isnt just falling for the hype. I respect you so much for that because i feel the same way. Something about aseteks ffb implementation its great but something just doesnt feel as loose or flowy as simucube. @TheCarDoc1
@@TheCarDoc1 ok good to know
you must have a good way of making good money ... that equipment is definitely not cheap ..
All I’ve got is a G27 😂 and I’ve been sim racing for a WHILE now.
The trusty trusty bullet proof G27!! It’s all you need really 😁
@@TheCarDoc1 Yeah, I got a frame, a PC, and a Kmart chair. Get’s the job done!
@@Finnjaymakes if it works, and you're having fun, then it works brother!
Much happier with my $60 controller.
cheers
you're welcome!
Quite random examples. Maybe your current sponsors i would suggest
yes, just to give a rough idea of the options
Why do Brit’s say aluminium? It’s aluminum
The G wheels are POSs. & they are very loud.
Haha, yes i’d stump for a TM belt wheel if you can, but then we’re getting close to entry level DD
