    Do you have a cockpit or wheel stand that you use with the Alpha? If so can you let me know what one? I am looking to get the Alpha but trying to know what works with Sim Magic

    I bought an Alpha 4 months ago. It's the only DD setup I've tried but I was shocked at how much I had to dial down the power to find a comfortable setting. I'm running it at WELL under 50% and there's plenty of power, detail, etc. plus I've got miles of headroom. The software maybe isn't the best but it works just fine and is quite sensitive to adjustments. I could go on and on but after living with it I've had no problems and no regrets.

    10:14 There You said the magic words This is how a proper review should be. Slew rate/acceleration is the most important thing and a Simucube2Pro user saying he did not find it slow or lazy is gold. Thank you for that .I've been crazy thinking do i miss something if i buy that instead of the Ultimate. I have also seen a real life GT racer slowing the slew rate of simucube cause its TOO fast and not realistic.

    Nice review. Enjoyed watch it along with all your others! I've been struggling to decide between the Alpha and the Alpha U. Would you say, if using the Alpha U at only 15Nm peak torque to match the Alpha, the two bases are indistinguishable in every way? Fine detail in the ffb, responsiveness, reactivity, etc....identical?

    @@simracingenthusiastreviews firstly, thank you for your reply. I have a few follow up questions if you don't mind please.... Would you suggest the Alpha U over the Alpha for competitive esports level sim racing? I guess what I'm asking is, when using the Alpha in a race scenario where you are trying to optimize for your racing performance, do you get the feeling the Alpha U would give a bigger advantage than the regular Alpha? How do you rate the GT4 over the FX Pro? Many thanks!

    The reason ita so fast is they use 5 pole motorrs. Almost nobody uses 5 pole motors. Its imo the best motor on the market and simagic customized it for sim racing. Nothing imo beats there bases. Also simagic has been out for well over 5 years man def not new or young.

    I'm using the Alpha Mini wheelbase with FX Pro wheel Thinking about upgrading to Alpha or Ultimate I'm a bit confused. 10 Nm vs 15 vs 23 Nm I'm okay with 10 Nm. What is actually the difference between the Mini and the Ultimate, except for the Nm?? For example, if Ultimate is set at 10 Nm and Mini as well, 10 Nm, do they feel the same? Has the Ultimate more " power " vibrations, etc, vs the Mini, when both are set at 10 Nm? What about the noise / heat ?! Does the big brother, Ultimate, generate more noise/ heat, vs Alpha Mini? Any advices are welcome, thank you in advance

    If we assume Simagic, Asetek and Simcube bases have similar details, and just put their peak forces on a linear scale, the Alpha isn't really that much better than other options. For example, Asetek La Prima with 12nm is €750 while the 18nm Forte is €1050. A 15nm base should be right inbetween, so at €900, but the Alpha is €930. You can also deduct 5% from the Asetek and Simucube bases with a Boosted Media discount code that's available through the entire year, so Asetek has the better price/performance wheelbases. The Fanatec 12nm is also a good option at €700, the 15nm is overpriced at €1000.
