Yep. ETS2 and ATS have been out since 2012, and are still going strong. That is pretty unusual for a game. Regular updates, lots of mods. It will be around for some time to come, especially if there is now specific hardware to enhance it
I got one from Amazon. Definitely a little sub-par but was one of the better options available. They're useful even on iRacing. Sports cars make good use of the wiper stalk now :D
That’s pretty cool to be honest. There have been truck sim enthusiasts who have asked for such a thing in comments many a time I’ve read. I hope this makes them happy. Well done Moza. 👏
Well if you are only choosing between those brands I can tell you that when it comes to the overall feel and performance the actual force feedback is better with Fanatec especially the newer models. Of course that comes with all the Fanatec issues with delivery and customer service at the moment though. I've always gotten my stuff pretty reasonably
I’ve only recently got into the truck and off road driving sim stuff. I find it amazingly good fun and really relaxing. I looked into bigger sims wheels or adapting a real wheel, but in the end I just went ahead last week and ordered one of these instead, especially since they are bringing out the multi-function stalks later this year (June?) to compliment the wheel. So many people play truck sims. I believe from another video that if you look at the stats from Steam, typically, there are more people playing ETS/ATS at any given time, than all the racing sims combined. It is therefore a big untapped market and I think Moza are going to claim a huge chunk of it this year. Good on Moza for innovating. They have got even more of my business as I’m selling my Fanatec kit and moving over to Moza lock, stock and barrel.
Sooo, i was thinking of what ecosystem to go in for sims, but i think moza just made it the easiest choice ever for me with this. All Moza need to do now, is to create a splitter and range addapter for the shifters and they win the market.
For me it was a toss up last year between Moza and Fanatec. I went with Fanatec in the end because of the price, availability (ha ha! it took 2 months for it to arrive) and broad ecosystem. Had I known then that this truck wheel was coming out, I would have gone with Moza without a shadow of a doubt. As already posted, I’m now going to move over to Moza and sell all my Fanatec gear.
I think moza is gonna be the best sim company in the next 5 years, good entry level and high end gear, exploring new markets (trucking sim and flight sim) they even released turning signals and active pedals
Moza is killing it right now! They listen to their community and release competitively priced products and have such a range of wheelbases for all budgets/needs. I love that they have a hub so you can use their wheels with other bases but beware, the hub requires 2 USB ports, one for data and one for power. That detail is not well publicized so keep that in mind.
shit pay, shit hours, dispatchers treat you like a slave, you'll be lucky if you get more than a couple hours of sleep on some runs, you could be gone for 4 weeks at a time, you're essentially living in a tiny apartment on wheels, and its not luxurious at all, its kind of fucking gross, you have to pay for a shower, and you only get 10-20 minutes to bathe. some companies trick drivers into leasing their own trucks, so many of them end up in deep dept. yes we need truckers, it's literally the backbone of our economy, everything from agriculture to retail to even the medical industry relies on truckers to get their supplies or goods, we just need better regulation. source: looked into it about 6 years ago and a retired trucker talked me out of it.
this is such a great idea and moza killing it again but man i hope they release a smaller 300-320mm version of this wheel for street cars, love just doing some regular driving in beamng and stuff and something like this with buttons for indicators and stuff would be a game changer
Im a heavy diesel mechanic and in most trucks the steering is buttery smooth and requires little effort to steer the truck because of the big power steering systems and im talking from experience i test drive trucks almost everyday completely different feel than driving a racecar on slicks with no power steering
I was watching The Simpit's review of this wheel and he mentions way more adjustability to the RPM LEDs with things like flag/telemetry LEDs. So as someone who may not be interested in this wheel but definitely the Moza ecosystem that looks very interesting, but I haven't been able to find mention of this anywhere else.
I also remember a couple months ago some sale promo photos from Moza's social media that had renders of the FSR with individual RPM LEDs instead of the gradient. Whether that will happen or not (I hope it will) it looks like Moza is moving away from the gradient RPM bar to individual LEDs (see KS, RS V2P, CS V2P, and TSW) EDIT: Upon checking the Moza website they have the renders of the FSR as well as the same thing with the RS V2.
I hope the car bus connector on the new DD wheelbases will be compatible with modern car equipment like indicator levers, automatic drive selectors, etc...
I'm certainly an outlier, and I'm sure the majority of sim racers don't agree, but I for one would love a smaller diameter version of this wheel with the same button layout and wheel design. I play a lot of BeamNG/AC and enjoy driving in not very supped-up, track-focused race cars, and spend most of my time is unmodified street cars (No Hesi not withstanding). I would love a sim wheel that mimics the layout and design of a modern, regular street car steering wheel, with multi-function buttons. I have an R5 base with the 11" ES wheel (12" wheel rim is on the way), and would love a 12-13" wheel that is either the exact same or very similar in design and button layout to this truck wheel. I don't play ATS/ETS2 enough to justify this nearly 16" diameter wheel, but man a smaller version would be amazing.
An International (brand) truck I have driven in the past had the air horn as a button on the right side of the wheel, with the city horn being in the center. So the horn being a button on this wheel isn't out of place.
Modern trucks like the Volvo FH16 that i drive, have an integrated electric motor on the steering gear, that's working with the hydraulic steering, so feels kinda like a DD wheel, you can set the resistance you want, for a heavy or light steering feel, so it's like driving a modern car with a huge wheel.
I certainly respect MOZA for designing anything for truck sim drivers, and I'm not saying that simply because I love my MOZA racing hardware. Well done MOZA Racing. 🏆
Thanks for the review! I do have concerns about how it attaches to 3rd party wheel base, since its cable is not very long, but real live truck usually have 1800 degree turning wheel, so I think that cable is not long enough, maybe they will come up with some wireless solution?
Because it was mentioned several times: The steering in the trucks and construction equipment I've driven always feels *extremely* light. The power steering on the freightliner I have the most experience in feels lighter than my personal car and would be on the low end of a Logitech g29.
So I’m not sure about other trucks, but in my job I have access to 4 different types of trucks. The ones the use air horns have a button on the side of the wheel or a cord on the top of the cab you can pull
This is a case of "you snooze, you lose" because the suggesting of a truck wheel and indicator stalks has been given to Fanatec before. Like 10 years ago already.
What's driving me crazy is Moza are sending these units to SIm Racers and not Truck Sim Creators for review... I love your reviews, but there are creators that play ATS and ETS specifically and this is a wheel; they should be reviewing... The issue is they are smaller channels and Moza doesnt want to send smaller channels the wheel. Irritates me
They don't need to. Truck sim creators are likely to buy one anyway and talk about it on their channel because they know their audience will be curious, so they'll want the views such a video will give them. Videos like this cater to a wider audience - 'I'm keen on driving games and curious about truck simulators - is it worth me investing in Moza hardware/this wheel specifically to satisfy that curiosity?'
You say that if you use the clamp for another wheel it's too low down, but could you not just mount the clamp upside down, move the orientation to near zero degrees and recalibrate for the new position ?? 17:04 looks like you just need to raise it up (which upside down would be lowering it.
@@boostedmedia That's got to be easier (and cheaper) than buying a different way of mounting it for regular racing and swapping everything over, and looks like a 5 minute job. It looks like a decent compromise, perhaps if you could also swap around the clamps it would look more aesthetic, it just needs a revision.
I don’t know what a semi feels like but to me it felt right is an interesting take away. No sim communicates the weight sensation you get from driving a real truck. The shove from fighting the wind. The heart attack from pressing on the brake pedal and not slowing down. Truck sim needs full motion platforms
The problem is that it really needs a separate bracket to be positioned properly. Are peeps gonna be arsed constantly swapping it all out when switching rims / sims ?
I wonder if Moza will make a slim accessory hub so I can attach it to the back of the wheel. I want to use this with Asetek pass through but I don't want the coiled cable. Perhaps a short cable with the USB adapter built in made just for Asetek
Hey! One question, which isn't fully bright for me. If I buy a Moza wheelbase for the wheel, do I also need the universal kit, or is it only for use with other bases?
Nice wheel and the compatibility with e.g. Fanatec is really cool. Hope you review the Wiper accessory as well. Interesting to see if it is also Fanatec "compatible".
4:20 DAMN!!!! I am shocked and impressed! MOZA you just move to the top #1 of my potential future shoping target when I will save some money to go for Direct Drive wheel swap. I was really wondering for ages why there is no company that would make such accesories for people loving to just drive in games in street legal cars or go trucking, not only race on tracks in F1 and other strict racing cars! So this accessory is now on my wishlist for the future as for now I am to poor to buy anything. ROCK ON MOZA!!!! I hope BM will review this attachment hub and test it in some road legal cars and truck sims. Subbed for that but also I like your reviews. Cheers.
Pretty smart of Moza. The Euro Truck crowd is surprisingly big and now they can try to fool all these people into thinking they absolutely need to get a 1000 euro DD wheel. For that "familiar and authentic feel", as confirmed by people who never driven a truck (so just like in simracing with race cars, really). And you know what, good for them. Why not make money off people willing to part with them.
@@kevinlemburg1348The MOZA TSW is about 16 inches, about the size of a standard steering wheel. Truck steering wheels are 18-20 inches. So your steering wheel in your F-150 is about the same size as this MOZA wheel.
I have a Next Level Racing wheel stand and I reckon I can adapt the top plate so it pivots enough in the right direction to have this wheel at a flatter angle, without having to remove the DD unit. I’d have to lower the top of the stand for truck mode, but that’s just a few bolts. I might write to Next Level Racing and suggest that if they had full semicircle pivot plates on the side of the top plate, instead of the quarter circle ones, it would give the flexibility to car racing and truck driving.
I am looking to upgrade to The Moza truck wheel just excited for for the Proper Indictor and wipers stocks am only asking to see if it fits to a Gt Omega wheel stand i just the fact i can just move the stand out of the way and play other type of games or do work on computer without un screwing it from desk or that i just have the Thrustmaster TX Racing Wheel just now but if this Moza Truck wheel cant be fitted to my stand or the can bring out a bracket to mount in to other Stands be Perfect Keep on trucking Truckers Fantastic Community :)
MOZA is really pulling the stops with products lately. Now all they have to do is do a button box similar to the one Saitek made for that bundle which was made for Farm Simulator.
wow how old is your copy of ATS? is that a CD ROM case? 🤭 i was hoping to get this wheel for a R5 and rebuild my iracing rig with a R9 ,R12 and above is wayyyy out of my range :(
I drove trucks for over 10 years Will. I can tell you the forces through a truck wheel are substantially more than what a CSL DD can do. Worst for me was when my left steer got caught on a gutter on my outside at 80km/h, taking a slight bend to the right. It nearly took the wheel out of my hands!! So this dampening even more might be something for hard-core simmers to take in mind. Not all trucks are like that. But most stuff I'd say pre 2005 is. Steering is heavy in every HR truck I've driven older than 2006 that I can recall. Edit: the metal strips look like pewter (or imitation pewter)
we blew the power steering pump in a kenworth t800 single steer 300 inch bed truck with the big 300 series steering tire( 3x wide as a highway tire). it took two guys on the wheel to steer it back to the shop this was back in 2008 and the truck was likely 15 years old back then. I dont think there is a base available that could replicate this
It was bad enough when the steering pump went on my VW van let alone something the size of your t800! I also remember how much effort it was steering my Dad’s 1970 Ford Transit. No powered steering back then, so a big steering wheel.
