IMMSource is the latest Chinese company to enter the DD market with not one but TWO DD offerings. The ET3 comes in at 10NM and the ET5 is 17NM. Although there are similarities to some existing products, we see some GREAT innovations here! From backlit buttons which double as a flag box to intelligent sim-based profiles, true wireless technology without any pins for power and no less than SIX USB expansion slots for further eco-system products. This is pretty exciting. Could this become my new favourite DD brand? Oh yeah, and apparently it has native console support...

@Bikaz 2 года назад
Great unboxing and first impressions as we are used of you by now. Nice to see the DD market populize more, even if it seems a little like another clone. We'll see how they do in the long run. I like the shift lights and the fact you can have the functionality like the pit limiter and the flags on the buttons. Hope it can also be disabled tho. :D Software also seems to be in its early stages with the calibration etc, but competition is nice. Said it before and will say it again tho, with how close Simagic, Moza and Immsource are, at least from what it looks to the outside, I really wish the 3 worked together and created one high quality brand that combines all the features and benefits from all of them into one. Its tough to sell "another copy" when brands like simagic have proven their worth already and worked out most of their kinks and cost the same money. At the same time simagic is also a little stagnant currently. I know they will probably release their handbrake soon, but some more wheel options would be nice and their competitors all come with clutch pedals now without extra costs and with additional features the simagic round wheel lacks like shift lights and 7 way switches.
@LaurenceDusoswa
@LaurenceDusoswa 2 года назад
yep I agree with most things you're saying for sure. I like that they're 3 companies from the same part of the world pushing one another to their limits though.

Oh the pain you where feeling at 23:00 just so you know it's normal to have to move all the controls to there extreems for a section of caliberation during the timer (4 padles in this case) and release them before the end. Each time you caliberate it clears the memory so you have to train all of the controls for the section.
@LaurenceDusoswa
@LaurenceDusoswa 2 года назад
I’m quite aware of how calibration works. But this calibration was not intuitive or smooth to do. When I clicked them slowly and individually the calibration went wrong. It was only when I mashed all the controls that I got a lucky calibration.

@TwoIrresponsibleGamers 2 года назад
Definitely looks interesting. The software gremlins you've encountered can be expected from a relatively new product, however not really at that pricepoint. Build quality looks very decent tho. But it is a shame that it's another product that isn't compatible with the universal wheeldeck from simlab. Not everyone is comfortable with drilling new holes in their hardware, or want to buy another mounting deck. Few positives, few negatives for me. Especially at the pricepoint of the ET5, there are a few things that would hold me back purchasing this. It's maybe a little nitpickish, but there are some clear issues currently that are holding me back. Unpacking a new product, to then having to mash the gear shifters to get them reading correctly in the software is really the biggest one 😅
@LaurenceDusoswa
@LaurenceDusoswa 2 года назад
hahaha teething issues :) But yeah, most devices don't need calibration in order to work in their most basic form. The fitment thing with the wheeldeck is actually the same issue I had with the Simetik K2 back in the day. No 'fanatec mounting pattern'. I do prefer my front mount plate anyways but it could be an issue for some people.

Hi man, another great review! Try lowering Game Damper, it may be too intense in the firmware (assetto corsa doesn't know how much damper is active, intesity is in ffb wheel firmware, assetto corsa only sets relative intensity 0 to 100% of device available damper intensity, whatever it is). Damper, inertia, friction are almost always in ffb wheel firmware, independent of the game (usb standard).

With some wheelbase software, especially from some of the chinese companies, 100 means 0/neutral if you can slide it to 200 and to 0. It's kinda weird.

Not sure why anyone would go for this over the Simucube sport or save a bit more money and get the Simucube 2 pro which i have a what a piece of hardware it is. In some Sims like Iracing with certain Cars i can feel individual tire flex as in from each of the 4 tyres which my Simucube 1 OSW couldn't give me

@@LaurenceDusoswa Ive tried the simagic m10 and Mini, i also tried the Moza and i think it all came down too software imo but i don't have any data too give a definitive answer on what was best but they all felt relatively similar the stronger the more pronounced the ffb was but i wouldn't say it felt different between each one. I have no idea what motor the moza base uses if its indeed the same sort of motor but it did feel similar Ive also tried my friends Simucube 2 sport and i own the SC2 PRO before that the ioni pro Simucube 1 osw system and also use a close friends Fanatec often so i do have a look of experience with DD wheel bases but no where near as in depth as your self.

@@LaurenceDusoswa But no never used this base i just think even if its on par i cant see it being better why would you choose it over Simucubes well known CS and quality plus it's well documented how good the simucube bases are. If it was a little cheaper maybe but for me i would rather save up a little extra and get the Simucube sport or save a little more for the pro

@@Simlife101 you have a good range there but the m10 and alpha mini are already worlds apart. I agree that the SC2 pro is probably the most refined ffb on the market but that certainly doesn’t make all the other cheaper servo based solutions irrelevant by any means. There are many many advantages to even this ET5 compared to an SC2. Like the QR, power transmission to the wheel, backlit buttons, clutch paddle support which sc2 doesn’t have in wireless mode and of course the price. They’re just a handful of reasons that make this a good alternative. I owned an SC2 sport. I reviewed the SC2 pro. I chose the Simagic alpha over those because it suited me better despite the ffb being slightly better with the SC2 pro. The sport was very close in feeling to the alpha.

In the end it all comes down to support and software, the hardware at this point appears that they are all using the same few manufacturers and just copying each other

I have to disagree to be honest. There are similarities for sure, as with cars, cameras, monitors, PCs, knives, tables, chairs, you name it. But there are very clear differences to me which definitely make a huge impact when buying these products

Seems like a lot of these style bases are popping up. They almost look the same as each other lol but it couldn't just be a Chinese cheap motor being sold
@LaurenceDusoswa
@LaurenceDusoswa 2 года назад
These motors all look similar because they have real world uses beyond sim racing and already existed before we started using them for sim racing. Having used the likes of the Simagic alpha for 2 years now, I can’t say a bad word about the quality.

Useless review, did you really need to spend most of the summary talking about the quick release? Learnt nothing meaningful

@LaurenceDusoswa 2 года назад
What gave you the impression that it was a review 😂 this is a first impressions, unboxing and first drive video, as mentioned several times in this video. It also mentions that the review is coming in the next few weeks. But you probably skipped right to the last section and didn’t watch the whole thing. That’s why you learnt nothing meaningful. Honestly it’s disheartening to get comments like yours. I’m putting effort in and you should too.
