hey i have the same setup with simsonn pedals so if i read you right, drive hub for pedals sigma cortex for wheelbase plug sigma cortex into drive hub plug pedals into drive hub as accessory using GIMX and plug into drive hub as console then GIMX into PS5?
I have asked this question everywhere and nobody can help, right now I have the alpha mini base, GT Neo wheel and P1000 pedals a shopping cart along with the Sigma converter. will this work on my PS5 with ACC?
Hi how’s the force feed back in gt7 using sigma cortex dose it has the same force like in PC games play. And also do you like alpha mini 10nm force feed back dose it get hot or get warmer during gameplay. I am in the market to buy my 1st dd. Dose mini 10nm is enough to get all the detail. What’s your experience. I am thinking between mini 10nm or alpha 15nm. Thanks
How did you manage to adjust the wheel's buttons with GT7? I tried all the buttons but I couldn't switch the MFD selections right and left or up and down!
Hey man thanks for the video. I got my Simucube 2 Pro and Heusinkveld pedals running with Gimx and Drive Hub. It gets recognized as G29 but with the “glitch” of holding starts and select, it’s now working in Fanatec CSL mode. I’m actually really satisfied with the FFB. Even though the CSL is also belt driven. Is there any chance to get my setup also recognized as Fanatec DD Pro? How did you managed to do that?
Yeah the CSL mode is pretty good but damn the DD signal is a huge game changer imo. Unfortunately the way I do that is with the sigma cortex adapter which tricks the drivehub into thinking I have a CSL DD. You could try just buying the adapter & plugging it into the drivehub then going back to the gimx setup which is what I did but idk if the cortex will want a simagic wheel conntected to send that info over to the drivehub before u switch back to gimx mode. Hope that makes sense.
@@gster109 Thanks! Yes I thought about the adapter as well. But that would mean another station where the signals go through. And more input lag. The FFB is actually surprisingly good as it is and I can live with it. Didnt expect it will be this good. I hope one day they will make a Fanatec DD firmware for Gimx, if that is even possible.
@@gster109 So just to be clear. You use a simagic wheel. That is connected to your PC and not to your cortex adapter? So it is: Simagic and pedals on PC -> GIMX -> Cortex -> DD Hub -> PS5 ?? If so, what firmware do you use on Gimx? Since there is only G27 and G29 as an option for wheels. So, if so, the Gimx sends a G29 signal to your Cortex adapter but that changes the signal to a Fanatec DD Pro? Or did I got it all wrong and you use only cortex? Because in the video you say you use GIMX. Thanks for the help btw.
@@Sele81 ya exactly with the GIMX adapter in g27 ps3 flash mode then to drivehub. Cortex was just used to initially trick the drivehub & its in the box now not in the chain between pc to ps5 now.
Hi!!! First of all, thanks x your information!!!! How are you??? So, if you read this and can please help me. 3 questions. (Sorry my english is horrible) 1 There is a way to adapt and properly use a fanatec csl Dd 8 nm to a ps4 or ps5??? The dd pro is soo expensive 2 Is posible to use an alpha mini in ps4 with fanatec pedals???? How simagic wheel adapters work?? 3 With this kind of Drive hub, in case number 1 answer is afirmative... Can you use a fanatec base, wheel and pedals, with a handbrake and gear stick from another company in ps4/5 by conecting it to the base or Drivehub?
you will need a drivehub and GIMX adapter to use different pedals anything other than Simagic ones. question 3 is yes, you will need the 2 adapters I mentioned^^
Hi, thank you for your video. Can you perhaps tell us which firmware version you have installed on the Sigma Converter? I would also be interested in the overall FFB settings in the Cortex Converter. Can you please post them? Thank you. Best regards, Thomas
I swear man, the last super license was too hard for me.. I think I would need a miracle that would never happen. Screw it Ima stay on International A 🤣
hi, great video, one question, what is the wheel settings that you use for simagic mini? i have a simagic u but i am still testing for a better settings for gt7👍
link for the pedals? in the description there is not link for them an i can't even find them by the exact name [EDIT] - Never mind, i found it. Great video dude.
Glad you found them bro. Hope you enjoy them like I do! Appreciate the feedback on the video too! Stay tuned for more sim racing content and hardware reviews!
@@gster109 hope i will get to enjoy them. I am still in the works of buying a wheel and get into sim racing so it will be some time until i upgrade. Who knows, maybe they will release another revision until then. Im justbglad there are pedal alternatives
@gster109 I have the same question. I use the GT Neo with the Alpha Base. The FFB settings of the Sigma Converter are never loaded at the first start. I always have to change the memory profile from 1 to 2 and then back to 1 so that the settings are loaded. The buttons for the MFD are also not assigned for the GT Neo and have to be reassigned at every start. This applies to firmware 1.1.4/1.1.5 and 1.1.6. The RPM display on the GT Neo does not work with firmware 1.1.5!
Hi mate, I've just got my sigma adapter and it doesn't seem to be working, I've got everything plugged in but when I press the ps button it doesn't seem to work, I've got the PS logo, car logo and the tick but not the controller
Hey hey! About to about to press the go button on full simagic mostly for playing ACC. I’m wondering if I can customise some stuff like button emulation layout or the lights through simagic software and then have it work when plugging all in to ps5 through the sigma cortex
I think you can change the lights thru PC software which will save indefinitely but the layout, if using just sigma cortex is fully predefined no customizing button layout unless ACC supports it. GT7 does.
So were you able to directly hook up the pedals to the Drivehub, or do you also need the GIMX for the pedals? Going through the compatibility selector for Drivehub it looks like i would need to just hook the controller direct into the Accessory port (selecting a few different pedals show that). I have a T300 wheel with the SimJack Minis, looking at your simjack controller box, mine should be a similar generation.
@@gster109I’m looking to go with the alpha mini, neo gt wheel, and keep my fanatec v3 pedals. Will this work with just the sigma encoder or what else will I need? Thanks!
Broke my ultimate buying a mini to replace it lol was a freak accident don't ask haha. Dude I've never ever seen ffb like this on gt7 holy crap. I love how the simagic mini shaft is looser so it feels like it moves so freely ans easily meaning all of those forces come through so well. The ultimate needs more forces to push it due to the shaft feeling tighter anyways. So I'm excited man. I can attest with simagic all you need is 10nm lol. Even the 23nm wheelbase I just never use above that. So yeah simagic has very strong little motors idk how they do it but the speed is also next level the snap for corrections is the best out of anybody imo.
Once you dial in the settings the FFB on this game it is absolutely phenomenal, glad you noticed it in the vid !! Also like I mentioned in the video I have mine set at 3NM & Total force to 100%, basically the opposite of what everyone including Simagic recommends but I am totally blown away by how good it feels. Very close to emulating a real steering rack. The snap corrections are indeed next level I am beyond happy with my Alpha Mini. Thanks for watching!
@@franbonmati3572 I haven’t used fanatec DD personally but just due to the build quality and sturdiness of the Simagic & also the fact that with the sigma adapter you get true DD signal I would switch over to Simagic.
What about simgaic alpha 15nn. I am in the market to buy my 1st dd wheels I am thinking of alpha 15nn as I feel 10nm is not enough. What’s your thoughts and why you considering from ultimate to mini dd
😂Yeah I feel you man, I need to get into iRacing soon. The whole reason I got a direct drive was because my t300 felt so bad on iRacing. Nee dto get back into it. GT7 is a lot of fun honestly you should give it a try. BTW love that minimal techno track you did, sounds fire!
@@gster109 well, I am really thinking about trying GT7, but as I play in VR, I will need to buy a lot of new equipment 😀 glad you liked my techno track, btw I am selling my music gear to buy sim gear 😀
I agree with the sentiment but when people are on a low budget it makes it hard to pass up a deal such as these pedals. Definitely a tough choice. At least i’ve bought some heusinkveld elastometers so they’ve got some money from me lol. 👍
Disagree! ‚real companies‘ are the ones ripping off the customer. I get it, software, quality control etc. is not cheap but you can easily pay up to 1000 bucks for a little metal
@@louki8378 lol wrong they pay there employees and are based on first world countries where they're not totally exploiting the workers. They're also paying for r& d
If someone can buy pedals for 1200 euro with long warranty, awesome support, upgradability, durability, original quality stuff - they won't go to some shady china store to buy some cheap knockoffs with bunch of their own flaws. Early simjacks, for example, had problems with bending metal plates near power cell on brake pedal. But now tell me what's better, people who buy cheap uncomfortable stuff, playing few days and then flood used market with g29 wheels. Or people who buy cheap comfortable stuff which gives them a lot of fun for the buck, firmly attaching them to simracing for years, in other words, making them buy lots of things for years, because sim racing is huge money drain)) So it's simple. When you can get good gear for cheap -> you get much more fun experience -> simracing community gains more people -> simracing market gains more value -> "real companies" sell more stuff and gain more profit -> prices drops because companies doesn't have to add huge premium for r&d. Everyone wins. When fun experience is locked behind huge paywall -> less people stick to sim racing -> less people buy stuff -> "real companies" sell less stuff and much less profitable -> which drives prices even higher because of r&d premium -> which makes paywall even bigger. You literally can see this. Check "sim racing" in google trends for last 10 years. The cheaper good stuff gets, the more people are interested in sim racing. So as long as racing community gains more long-term users - it's all good. Even if "China pedals" won't be ever upgraded, there will still be some bought games\subscriptions to services and so on, which supports creating of better software that attract even more people and loop continues) Miles better than nothing.
these are really great budget pedals. sucks us early adopters missed out on upgrades that they have added to these great pedals. mods i have done so far are switched out the elastomers for die springs, the bearings, and got the HE controller box to use their software. funny about a month ago, they came out with a new controller box where you can use their software to calibrate instead of using diview. all that said, still great pedals with no complaints and ive had mine for 1.5 years now.
Yeah thankfully all those upgrades can be done on our early adopter set! My control box loses calibration requiring the usb wire to be wiggled around sometimes, did you experience that before switching the box? Please leave a like for the algo!❤
@@gster109 when i got my set it didnt come with the wire and my control box was all metal not see through. thats odd that it loses calibration when the usb loses connection. ive disconnected my pedals many times and didnt lose calibration. how are you calibrating? im surprised you didnt get the HE upgrade kit which comes with new elastomers and the control box
lmao not forza horizon map. Honest mistake on your behalf lmao. But this map has been out for like over a year now so i don't know how this is only new to you now.
Hello I saw your comment while searching and I have the same symptoms, so I'm asking you a question for resolution. I'm using mozar16 and I can't feel the wheel ffb at all when I use gimx and drivehub. How did you resolve it?
Nice! Just some advice. You should not turn too much the wheel, this is causing understeering, your front tyres were not making any grip to turn. Try to turn less the wheel and turn more using de brakes.
Thanks! I was stacking 2x4’s under it before 😂 This was probably one of the best things I’ve done for the rig since it allows me to move it so much quicker, basically the way it was intended.
If you added .75 more inches to the diameter of the wheel do you think you could still reach the paddles comfortably? I’m thinking about getting a 14” wheel for the hub and using it for ovals.
Proper video. Congrats. How do you get to play gt7 on it without using the Sigma Cortex? I’m curious because in my country I’m not able to buy the Sigma cortex
Thanks, i'm happy you enjoyed it! Unfortunately you would need the Sigma Cortex which would be the easiest way to get this going. The other way is with a GIMX + DriveHub solution but it's much more involved to get that going.
Hey bro thanks for the video! Im looking at the alpha mini and circular GT Pro wheel like you. How does the alpha mini feel with the larger PRO wheel on it? You ever feel like you need more power and got the alpha?
Hey no problem I'm glad you found it informative! I would say you have nothing to worry about in regards to how heavy the wheel is. I have the FFB percent at 100% and the NM output only at 3NM!! It feels perfect & the base goes all the way up to 10NM!
