Why can't people be more like you? Not annoying, on point, I bought 2 just now after watching this 🤣subscribed! *sorry I did not use your AL. My purchase has to be through Dell through my credit 😕
Have you tried this in Gran Turismo 7? I know it'll be audio only, but was curious if you thought that it would be good even if I mainly play sim racers on console vs PC. Since it's all audio based, I assume that things like in-game soundtracks that play by default during races would cause unintended feedback, or it would pick up feedback from other nearby cars. Not sure if its a dealbreaker, but was curious if you thought that audio based only haptics would be worth it, especially since I'm in the process of upgrading my rig for PSVR2 support. Would love to be able to get more granular details like the telemetry that can be extracted by PC sims, pretty unfortunate limitation of consoles.
this looks interesting. This looks like a great in-between when talking about having a motion rig or not. I feel like most motion rigs are way too much and are somewhat unrealistic, but this looks great.
Here's a question for you. I've got a Thrustmaster T248. I can sell it and get a T300 for the same price as the HF8. Which would you do? T300 and no haptics, or T248 with haptics?
T300 will feel better/smoother but the torque difference isnt that much more. If I were you i’d go for haptics or pedals. If you were going for something like TSXW or entry level DD as a choice instead, i’d go for those, but in this case, i’d say haptics will increase your immersion more than those wheels will :)
If they add more options, I’ll probably get one. I would love to have more awareness when another car is coming up on your left or right, as well as wheel spin for dirt.
@@daftplays5199 that’s what I’m hoping, or at least get some vibration from the sound of their motor. With the mirror delete option iRacing has implemented for dirt cars, better find as much awareness as you can, because dirt cars don’t have mirrors.
This product looks amazing and I'd love to buy one when I can. I'd want to swap out my seat for some kind of bucket seat to account for the extra padding and just for the product to look more aesthetic. Besides I'm already a little bit too tall for my rig so uhhh haha. But dude at 330 Aussie dollarydoos that's such a cool product.
HFS was launched in Beta with no intention of being a refined product immediately. Regrettably, this is the reason why we stress the compatibility of HF8 with other third-party software like SimHub or SimShaker.
Btw, in the gleam competition it asks for a creator code. I’ve only added videos here on TH-cam but no creator code. Is it necessary to have one? Thanks for your help!!! Cheers
@@tristanparker using it on ps5 through SimHub so roughly same customisation but it depends on the telemetry support. For example, no ABS telemetry for GT7 unfortunately
@@tristanparker simhub is free, though I did donate to be fair. The HF8 is great, in my opinion, the best investment I’ve made as it gives very good signals into what’s happening with the car. Takes time to configure it correctly but once you have it, it will be hard to go back
HI thanks for the review. Does it represent the feeling of wheels locking as is the case for, say, iRacing when immediately breaking beyond that 80% mark? Not sure you covered this in the 'ground effect/ suspension' section of the review? Also, did NLR state when the expect this to be released in the UK? They have a £sterling cost on their website, but when accessing the link to any of the UK suppliers (e.g Maplin / Currys etc), none of them have it listed yet? Thanks.
Thanks for the comment! You can set if for braking too and it does transmit vibration when locking up, which you can tweak to work in your favour. I had it set up in a similar way myself. It should be retailed in the UK, let me ask NLR and get back to you here!
I want one, but they've clearly hiked the price £50 / $100AUD since all the reviewers had theirs 4 weeks ago. Its not like in those 4 weeks the cost of supply has increased.

No extra cost to you but it helps the channel 😊
You dont deserve 6k subs. You deserve 6million subs for sure!! You are the Marques Brownlee of the Sim World.
Thanks so much!!! You’re too kind 😁
I said this to myself months back when I first found this channel
You definitely put the simp in simracing.

Audio feedback means? Example?
You can run GT7's telemetry through Sim Hub on the PC and it should work like it's running a PC game. My irl gauges etc work with GT7 now.
next level wheel stand and this HF8...who needs a cockpit anymore....
this looks interesting. This looks like a great in-between when talking about having a motion rig or not. I feel like most motion rigs are way too much and are somewhat unrealistic, but this looks great.
Agreed dude, it feels quite intuitive and would actually make even a motion rig better. Definitely worth considering, I genuinely found it astonishing
$2400 is not a lot for a motion rig. Although you really need haptic and motion
They are so unreealistic
0:44 - Excitement level 💯
lol so excite, much sensation
tried it for two days, it's of little use and it's really really uncomfortable! returned...
I play Flight Simulator 2002 on the Xbox series X. Can I use the HF8?
Do you mean 2022?
first
It looks like a seat with abs to me. 😂
P.S. Not ABS but abs
ABS go brrrrr - I see what you mean 🤣
Can I set it to run off of an emulator's vibrate function?
Does it support beamNG drive tho?
Your production value is astonishing. Big things ahead for you my friend!
Thank you Henry!! 😊
100
Software is buggy.....can't get it to work in AC or Project Cars 2

Never heard an "h" be pronounced with "hey". 😅
I didnt even hear anything else from this video.
Thanks for commenting 🤣
Can you review the Ushake6?
If they add more options, I’ll probably get one. I would love to have more awareness when another car is coming up on your left or right, as well as wheel spin for dirt.
Wait, in real racing you can feel someone’s car coming up next to you in your seat?
@@daftplays5199 that’s what I’m hoping, or at least get some vibration from the sound of their motor. With the mirror delete option iRacing has implemented for dirt cars, better find as much awareness as you can, because dirt cars don’t have mirrors.
@@daftplays5199 basically I’m hoping to be able the tie the engine sound of other cars to this device.
Consoles only audio? Sucks
What is the current state of the software? Has Next Level updated more titles suspension and road traction, or is that still only on iRacing?
What's it like on console? All the reviews have been pc
This product looks amazing and I'd love to buy one when I can. I'd want to swap out my seat for some kind of bucket seat to account for the extra padding and just for the product to look more aesthetic.
Besides I'm already a little bit too tall for my rig so uhhh haha.
But dude at 330 Aussie dollarydoos that's such a cool product.
$399 Aud now! (Feb '23)
this seems so fun, but its 280USD man.
Can you review the Ushake6?
I will purchase but only at a $ale price eh!
The provided software is trash. Simhub makes way better use of it.
HFS was launched in Beta with no intention of being a refined product immediately. Regrettably, this is the reason why we stress the compatibility of HF8 with other third-party software like SimHub or SimShaker.
Is there a point in buying this, if you have a dof reality h3 or h6 platform ?
I'd say yes, because you don't get haptic feedback as far as I know with the dof reality motion systems :)
Sweet straight to the point video, nice one man! You have a new UK subscriber. Well done.
Thanks a lot!
Great video and dude, this really is a game changer! Why did no one think of this sooner?
its not new.. we have had jetseat etc..
There's been many through the years.
I just purchased one, sceptical it will work for formula rigs but we will see
Awesome! Which rig do you have?
@@TheCarDoc1 one of the F1 Playseat rigs, it’s has steep ridges on the shoulder and leg area. How bendy is is the HF8?
Audio only feedback means?
Just means the haptic feedback is based on the audio from the game, and therefore is going to be less accurate.
Great video again mate, tried entering the giveaway but I’ll probably end up buying it anyways 😂 congrats on 6k subs too!! 💪🏽
Hahaha thanks man much appreciated! Heres hoping you win! It is a genuinely awesome device 🥹
Thanks
Will it fit on my gaming folding lawn-chair?? That's what I wanna know. gotta get this!
It probably will!! Its really not that big and as I showed, it fits literally anywhere (including the toilet seat if you so wish) 🤣
@@TheCarDoc1 Maybe there too!! lol!!!
I want one but out of stock!!
Should be in stock in the upcoming weeks again!
Your production quality is superb!
Thanks so much!! 🥹
Coool!
Can you do a iracing g29 set up setting guide please
I dont use a G29 at the moment but if theres enough want I may make a seperate channel for it!
Is this staying on your sim rig permanently?
Of course no answer lol
@@billynolanjr2266 lol yup, DaveCam as well didn’t provide an answer. Just wish these “reviewers” kept it a buck
hi, would this fit on a NLR GTLite?
yes, it would :)
Same company it's a perfect fit
Your production quality is mind blowing for a channel with 6k subs 🙌😁
Thanks so much!! 😁 do stick around for so much more!
Any chance this’ll work with Flightsimming?
Btw, in the gleam competition it asks for a creator code. I’ve only added videos here on TH-cam but no creator code. Is it necessary to have one? Thanks for your help!!! Cheers
Yes, microsoft flight and xplane 11 are currently supported and I have tried it with MSFS 😆
My code is ‘THECARDOC’
I’ll amend the description!
@@TheCarDoc1 tried mine and not valid!
@@FlightSims I've just gotten it fixed! thanks for your patience, if you try again it'll work :)
It's already
sold out
where did you even see it listed to be sold out, I can not find it on any of the North America Retailer shops
@@elliotlevine8792 Amazon. Just bought it, a week for delivery ATM.
Does this work with a gt lite??
Yes it does! Ive tried it with my GT-lite 😁
Ah thanks very interested in this.
I have the foldable version though.
@@TheCarDoc1 Can you show, please? I'm curious to see how it fits.
I got this one and it’s awesome plus it now supports consoles
Are you using it for console? If so, what is the feedback level and customisation?
@@tristanparker using it on ps5 through SimHub so roughly same customisation but it depends on the telemetry support. For example, no ABS telemetry for GT7 unfortunately

if you have a PC ok, but if you don't have a PC stay away from this bullshit 😂
It’s junk … I have it now and can’t get the software to function
I'm a VR flight simmer and this will be a great addition to the level of immersion. I ordered one yesterday.
Be sure to check out my flight sim channel, it'll be well up your street!
How do you like it?
