Will pedal haptics work on GT7?
Hi, Gster. Thank you for the detail reviews. Your review steered me away from Moza and I ended up buying Simagic Alpha + DS8X + P1000i. I couldn't get the Sigma Cortex to work. After testing for hours I switched from the default channel 80 to 82 and it worked. Now it's being recognized as a Logitec G29, how did you get it to emulate a GT DD Pro? Can you pls share the detail settings on your cortex converter including firmware version. Thank you very much.
Hey! I'm glad to hear my review helped you! I believe you issue is that you need to update your Sigma Cortex to the latest firmware version.
can you put the links to the elastomer, and springs you bought please. I have simjack pros but the throttle is a bit chunky and not smooth also the brake is stiff from the get go which feels awful. if you can share each mod and a link to the product it would be awesome
Damn how that poor 4040 base profile holds everything and not bending. Not lying flat on the floor adds to that a lot...
LOL the 4040 is definitely struggling, this is an ASR1.. I'm kinda upset that even with an NRG seat, a couple months after I bought it, the main rails were super bent and I'm only like 160lbs.... ASR says this is normal and fine I guess lol.
You have yourself quite the laboratory. Nice work...
Thanks Paul! Took around a decade to slowly build up.
can you use psvr2 with sigma cortex?
Yes.
I race all of the Sims. And I love GT7 & too.
It is so special!
Nice video bro,however i just took simagic with sigma cortex..my wheel its the fx pro.how is possible to run the wheel with working dashboard display.(not working on ps5 at the moment).do you know about that something else to try?
I do not have that wheel so I cannot answer that sorry.
Why u set 3nm not 10
Because real road cars are all around 3nm. You get more control of the car without fighting the wheel. More realistic.
@@gster109 Im not sure about that one. Maybe driving on the road daily yes, but racing i doubt 3nm is accurate. 3NM you will get extreme clipping at high speed and the wheel will not communicate anything further, which is not realistic. Better to just make the FFB lighter if that is preferred.
Nice video. Much difference on the Pro? I’m thinking about getting this again on my Pro
No difference at all unfortunately lol but the game is still amazing 10/10. Worth getting.
So if you use all Simagic gear, wheel and pedals, you just need the Sigma Cortex ?
Yes, exactly.
great setup my man, this is the wheel is will order for sure. But i read that the wheel is quite heavy (approx 2kg). How your alpha mini base handle the wheel? you have a good FFB with that weight?
No need to worry about weight of wheel. FFB is perfect.
Hi, nice video, one question, how do you put your keypad on the aluminum profile? I ordered a similar keyboard but I don't know how I'm going to put it on the profile.
Most likely used double-sided tape or velcro
Pretty strong double sided tape will do. Just dont smash the buttons and it will stay on fine.
How do you attach the wheel to the base? Mine doesn’t click. Theres no way to fasten to the wheel base. It slides on and off with out the release. Alpha u and GTS wheel
Contact Simagic about it, sounds like a defective quick release on the wheel side. Also, what happens if you pull the quick release towards you, put the wheel onto the wheelbase & let go of the quick release?
@@Sithhythanks for the reply. I did get it to go on. I mean I was lining up the pins on the wheel with the gold tabs on the wheel base. And it still wasn’t clicking. Eventually after a few hours of messing with it I somehow figured it out. I honestly don’t know what I did wrong nor do I know what I did right to make it work. But it does seem to work now 🤷🏼♂️. Now I’m learning all the pedal settings. Hoping this weekend I can get it all working and play some gran Turismo 7
@@marioremondino9837 Yeha, from what I know the quick release & the shaft need to be aligned a certain way to make the wheel go on as the balls in the QR as well as the divets on the steering shaft are not spread evenly, so due to that it can only go on in one orientation. Next time if you will have trouble getting the wheel onto the shaft, just power on the wheelbase, let it calibrate & after that it should center itself which will let you easily put the wheel on
@@Sithhythank you. Hopefully tomorrow I can fire this up and play .
I'm watching your video as I'm about to upgrade to Simagic from Moza. Lot of good information!
Adam's SIMporium is selling a GIMX usb when i thought this software was free, unless theres no way to use GIMX without a usb? But i guess we can just get a cheap usb somwhere and put GIMX on it? Or maybe we cant do that, who knows.
Hi, I know you said you need GIMX and Drive Hub for different pedals but what about different shifters and hand brakes? Also do i still need Drive Hub and GIMX even though Fanatec is Playstation compatible if i get the CSL V2 pedals?
What's up man, do you still play on gt7 I'm interested on how you got it working from GIXM -> Drivehub
Gimx*
So you got 3 adapter now? I plan to get the same build as yours alpha mini simjack pedals How do you get it to work in gt7, you need the 3 adapter?
This video explains quite well. Yes, you need 3 adapters.
Cool that you've got this to work on ps5. I've been looking for that pc ps5 direct drive killer combo. But I really don't understand how that wheel with that much overhead available clips on Gt7. That would be highly disappointing considering the ffb strength isn't that high to get near clipping.
I think you misinterpretted what he said, it doesn't clip if its set up correctly.
The clipping is not a fault of the wheel, it is from GT7 sending too high of a signal to the wheel base thus causing clipping.
Is sigma support simjack pedal? And does it need to calibration?
No, Sigma does not support SimJack Pedals. Please rewatch the video to understand better.
Hello blogger, with the combination of drivehub+gimx+hori mini, I encountered that moza r9 was recognized as tgt without ffb as you said. I would like to ask you if this problem disappeared after changing to simagic?
Yes you need the Sigma Cortex and Simagic.
Is GT7 worth the expense of adapters if you have all the major PC sims? Got a Simucube 2 Pro shortly after buying my PS5 but have barely used it any since. GT7 was a good time on controller though, but I'm not sure how it'd hold up since I've gone all in on PC sims and simcade titles.
100% you will be shocked how good GT7 is on a wheel. It holds up to PC sims..
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?
Bro I just learned how to drift!
Would you have any sigma settings for gr3 cars?
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?
No. It works only with GT7
@mataman1 mate I'm literally smashing laps around Imola on it right now in ACC and having tried it with GT7 I can say that it is 100% better on ACC than GT7.
@@michaelsutton60 some new firmware came out?
@@mataman1 yes mate but it did work even before that, but now its bloody fantastic, the firmware to use for those interested is the 1.6 not the newest.
@@michaelsutton60 what base console recognizes in 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
The 10 is more than enough. No It does not get hot for me because i use it at 3Nm lol. That is what road cars FFB is.
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 mate, im getting the Alpha 15nm base rather than the CS DD+ as it has direct compatibility with the GT neo. Either way we gotta adapt something 😂
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.
@@Sele81 input lag shouldnt be an issue. I highly recommend it. That DD signal is a game changer!
@@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?
Thanks x your time. Hi everyone
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
Thanks for watching! Latest firmware. 100% FFB 3NM 10% mechanical friction & Dampening
😮
Which firmware are you currently using for sigma on gt7? And does everything work well? Thx
Latest firmware and yes everything is perfect.
How’s that simagic with sigma on gt7? Strong and detailed ffb?
Oh yeah, gets the same signal as a gt dd pro. No complaints.
@@gster109do you thing it’s above 8nm that you can get with the dd pro. Just wondering if it can reach 10 nm with the mini
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 🤣
I just got to it last night. I’ll stream my attempts this week😂😭
@@gster109 I just tried a few hours ago, many many attempts… finally I finished but not in time 😭💀
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👍
100% FFB 3NM 10% mechanical friction & Dampening
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 it will be a while till i get them but im happy i found this alternative
@@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
Bonjour,merci pour vos renseignements,😊
No problem! Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions.
Good video
Thank you! I really appreciate it. Stay tuned for more gear reviews!
Anyone try The Sigma Cortex adapter on Simucube Pro 2 ?
As far as I know it won’t work.
It's only for SIMAGIC gear
@@gster109 damn , I don't want to get another wheelbase 😵💫
@@CGC0.1 you’ll need a gimx adapter & drivehub then.
@@gster109 it also requires a pc 😕
Are you using the firmware 1.1.5 BETA for the Sigma Cortex Converter?
Yes.
Could you please share your specific settings for the Sigma Cortex Converter? Mines are: TF: 100 MT: 100 WRS: 15 S: 3 WAL: 900 MS: 0 MD: 10 MF: 15 MI: 0 CD: 50 FD: 20 FF: 2 GS: 0 GD: 100 GF: 100 GI: 100 SLS: Default SD: Normal RC: 0
@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!
I love this type of dedication and patience when every miliseconds of laptime is matter with this guy
Thanks bro I appreciate you, new time trial just came up so I should be on in the next couple of days to get that gold!
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
What gear are you using ??
Robot voice
Thanks👍
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.
@@gster109 thanks some one on discord said buttons can be changed in sim pro
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.
Unless they added SimJack support recently & I don’t know, you will need the GIMX adapter as well.
@@gster109 thanks. I kinda figured that. Looks interesting I'll definitely be considering it. Good information!
Sweet
Thanks bro, hopefully streaming tm hope to catch you! Turn on bell notifs !
@@gster109 Sure
Do you need both adapters to get it to think it’s a dd pro?
Nope, if you have simagic pedals too it will show up as a DD pro. The drivehub is only for unsupported pedals to work.
@@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!
@@GTALLDAY16 you’ll need a GIMX & DriveHub Adapter.
Is there added latency?
None at all, it’s 1 to 1. Perfection.
