My First Look At SIMAGIC ALPHA U Direct Drive Base

Ойындар

After 3 months of using Simagic GT Neo Wheel you guys were recommending to try base from Simagic as well..and I listen.
Simagic send me Alpha U 23Nm Base to test and I hope to use it for couple of weeks/months/years if all goes well!
Here is my installation and first look video :)

    If your fanatec was turning left, it makes sense that a wheel that's perfectly straight feels like it would be turning right because you're used to it. Don't need to worry about the wireless connection with simagic, I've never heard of any issues, nor have I ever had any connection issues in the years I've been driving with it.

    Simagic have been killing it the last year or so. They had great bases and then they brought a nice selection of wheels, shifters, and a great set of pedals with haptics. It’s a great ecosystem and the only thing they are lacking to be next level is console compatibility. They get that and they’ll really take off.

    @@Benedict00_ItchyManko I got the Alpha Mini. The road texture and fine details feel very similar to the Fanatec GT DD Pro, but of course they're more pronounced. The software has a "force feedback frequency" slider that upsamples the FFB signal from the game, which makes a huge difference for iRacing where it feels like using iRFFB but with the math done at the driver level it has very low delay. So small details feel very smooth in the Mini compared to the Fanatec base where it felt like driving a kart over stones. The rumble strips feel much stronger in the Mini, so much so that it seems like my rig will disintegrate as it's very loud. I find it easier to understand what the rear is doing due to the extra force as well so I find myself rarely ever spinning the car. Overall extremely happy with the move to Simagic and cannot recommend enough.

    I purchased a Fanatec DD1 in November of 2021! Its 2024 and im still learning how making micro adjustments to all the tuning options changes the driving experience! For a $1,200 wheel base and $369 wheel im happy. My only issue was the USB port failing. Unfortunately Fanatec's customers service is horrible. What was awesome was finding the rear Cap w/PCB board for sale on Ebay for $100. Swapped it out with the broken 1, updated the firmware and its been better then ever! I was very tempted to buy a Simucube or Sim magic cause i loved the look of the neo wheel. But i couldn't justify buying everything again and the mounting needed for my cockpit. Ive taken apart a DD1 and I must admit, its extremely well designed and very easy to swap parts if something breaks.

    I feel ACC is one of the games that really really benefits from higher end wheelbases. I was enjoying the game with my CSL DD 8Nm, but when I swapped to the Asetek Invicta wheelbase it was a proper gamechanger. There is so much detail there that was just not noticable previously, really subtle cues that allow me to drive harder and more consistently as I can feel when the car is getting out of shape in a way that I couldn't with the CSL DD. Regular Assetto Corsa on the other hand has much more "obvious" force feedback, and the difference is not that noticable. The Invicta is still better, but not as dramatic as I felt it was with ACC.

    Jardier i figured out the settings due to hepp from race beyond matters! Hes been sim racing for 15 years and has his ultimate dialed in to his simucube level. So where it says max torque and them ffb. Leave the max torque at 23nm but turn the ffb top left slider in the software down to 60 to 70%! Then adjust in game how you like. This alloes for the ffb signals to come through and not clip but get towards the edge of doing so where the most detail is at! Then turn smoothness down to 1 and interpelation to like 4 or 5. This allows for less noise yet also tons of details. As he stated would rather have details and speed then reduce noise all the way and hurt it. But yeah go do this you wiko not regret it! Enjoy its an insane wheel once you dial it in also make sure you are on the latest software@ I really hope you see this the 60%-70% ffb will help you so much the little details that pop this way are shocking. Again leave max torque at 23nm on the top right snd then top left slider turn the ffb down to 60-70% do not use 100% as many of the signals come through and are clipping through the base itself. This is game changing.

  • @ArchOfficial

    The Force Feedback slider is a linear gain. It makes no difference if you have it at 1% and the sim at 10000% or both at 100%. Smoothness is a low pass. It needs to be set per-car and per-track because all it does is filters bumps. Interpolation always 0. It introduces latency and noise. Maybe okay to use 1 or 2 in iR.

There is a perfect feeling to get whatever you want out of it. Wow its good im shocked. Even better then my dd+ yes I just didnt have the settings right and ready i didnt have the latest update haha. Guys if you ever get a chance forget everything else ive owned simucube on loan, i own the dd+ i own a 15nl alpha and just got the ultimate holy crap the simagic bases now idk what they have done but they are now buttery smooth, snappy with insane details so much details i had to turn them down which meansbit gets more then my dd+ starting to realixe boosted media sucks with settings on bases. Starting to think peoppe shoupd stop listening to people like that who clearly dont understand how detail works with simagic. Then you go talk to race matters hes been sim racing for 15 years and he chose simagic over his simucube he was shocked. It seems like the same thing with everyone who tried it. Its always omg it blew my expectations away and i def get it. These things sre next level good now with the recent software and newest revision. If people dont know they are oj there 3rd revision. The 3rd one happened in 2023 so reviews before that or units before that dont really tell you about how good they are now.

    THe base looks great. With as hot as it gets in your room having everything packed so tightly I am interested to see how it does with heat dissapation over time (when dust gets into the unit, etc....) I'll be along for the adventure as you enjoy your new Simagic. Very interested

    Fanatec have this annoying issue that because of the magnets placement in the base wheel by itself to not wanna stay at the center, but turn itself like 2-5 degress (fanatec control panel) and in my case it is 3-4 degress left. CSL DD and clubsport DD have this issue, so im quite sure DD1/DD2 have the same. I do not use strong FFB, so if lets say I do not hold my wheel at the straight because I wanna do or grab something my car just turns to the left So my question is.... How does it look for the simagic? 20:20 maybe this is the same issue? Open the software and check if the wheel stays at the middle 0 degress or turns to the right or left by itself.

    @Jardier what is your opinion now of the Alpha U compared to the DD2? I have a good deal on a Alpha U, about to pull the trigger, will replace my DD1. Is it a big upgrade? Smoothness, details, etc. I have tried Simucube 2 Pro a couple of times, and the Asetek bases I tried a few months back here in the Netherlands. I was loving the smoothness and the details of the Simucube and Asetek bases. Ever since have been considering replacing my DD1. Haven't tried the Simagic bases yet. But pricewise these appeal me a lot better.

    I’ve been looking at this base for the past two days. Might pull the trigger on it this week. This video might be the deciding factor. Edit: I order it bundled with the GT GT Neo. My wife gave birth to our daughter yesterday so why not celebrate the occasion with some new sim gear 😂 btw I’m currently using the Moza r12. My pedals, shifter and handbrake are all Simagic so this will also simplify my setup a bit.

    @@scottpolston6137 I was looking at the r21 because I already have the GS and RS wheels but the dimensions of the Alpha U will allow me to slip it underneath my center monitor. The r21 would force me to sit a bit further back than I would ideally like to using 32” triples. I think a family fiend might’ve caught the sim racing bug the last time he was over (the guy was ear to ear the entire hour he was in the rig playing ACC) so I’m going to offer him the r12 and wheels at a bro price.

    My self and many of us are just viewers. I have no racing gear. I wondered what 23Nm of force would feel like. I have experience with torque wrenches in old English units, foot pounds. I found the conversion. +16 foot pounds is close to 23Nm with that weight 12 inches from the center pivot point, (bowling ball). Now I understand. That's a lot of force applied to that racing wheel, which is smaller than 12 inches. Maybe I can help others understand that force. Numbers often puzzles many. I wanted to find a very simple way for people to experiencing that force and I think I've got a VERY rough comparison that should be close enough. This will be in US units. Take two gallons of water. Attach it to your wrist close to your hand. Pick it up keeping the arm level to the floor. I think doing that would get you reasonably close to experiencing that force. Like I said. It's a rough comparison. Did I even come close?
