Hi Raging Beard I bought a SW30 which does not use a simcube board instead uses a texas instruments c2000 launchpad xl do you know any good forums that share OSW settings etc ? thanks keep up the good work
Hi thanks but sorry no, I just picked up a few things over time from various videos or posts, but mostly just tweaked a little to find what I like. I don't know anything about the Texas Instruments one. Did you have a call with the guys at Simplicity?
Great video I'm thinking of getting a MiGE 30Nm Direct from Simplicity I have read that smaller miGE are a bit twichy so I go with the Big motor ticking over thought ? The guy in poland has stopped making the boxes for time being pitty :-(
Oh Sim Line has? I didn't know that. Hopefully he starts back up again but he needs to use higher quality buttons TBH. One of mine went back, he swapped buttons and sent back, but again really one of my buttons isn't so good. I am looking forward to wireless Simucube!
Well first off, you absolutely do not need large Mige for the power. I currently run mine at 30% as do many I have seen. But as you say, from all reviews I have watched and read, I am glad I went with the large as apparently it less twitchy. Having not tried a smaller one, I can't speak from experience, and I am sure either are awesome really. If they are about the same cost, I too would pick the large.
Sounds like a good choice too me, I have the formula and BMW rims. Buying the mclaren also. Been a long time fanatec user. If u like the fanatec pedal range and u wanna upgrade, the HE Pros are big step up if your seriously into your hobby. Obviously seem like it. Check out demon tweeks Web and search heusinkveld. Cheaper buying em from them than actually shipping from HEdirect. £610 roughly for 3 pedal set... The accuracy/sensitivity really is huge difference just like dd over belt drive. Good luck with your racing mate!
Hello, are Sim-Plicity Kits worth it or should I build a Mige OSW myslef? I'm around the 600 euro budget (SW10 price). Is the SW10 worth it in your opinion and do you get updates for the wheel or is it not supported? Thank you in advance!
Hey, well I love mine and it's as awesome as ever. It runs off Simucube so you can update whenever there is a Simucube update and it's very easy to do. I haven't used any over DD wheel so I can't say what their SW10 is like. I can say that 10nm is easily enough power, but it's not all about power of course. From my limited experience with this one wheel though, I'd say they are a decent company putting out good products. Sorry I can't help more, hopefully there are reviews out there for the SW10.
@@AdamsSIMporium that's great news. Thanks for the feedback. The issue with these new simplicity is that they use their own controller and software which is different from simucube that's why I'm worried. :/
@@yanniskrp5782 Oh I see, I didn't know that! I think I'd personally try to go for a Simucube 1 or 2 wheel, then you at least know you are getting tried and tested software.
@@AdamsSIMporium That's what everyone has recommended me to do. I'm trying to find a great deal on a used Simucube 1 since new ones are way beyond my budget. Thank you a lot for your help though! Have fun racing.
Raging Beard It's going to be a big step up from my old T300RS that's for sure! I was going to buy the csw 2.5 but looking at the price I'm glad I went with the bigger upgrade lol.
Nice rig. Would be interesting to scientifically test the rigidity difference of the GT1 and the P1, I suspect little to none lol. I am sure the 40x160 pieces are overkill!
Thanks and yeah they always seems to work out how to be the most annoying at any time lol. I mounted on the right because the majority of cars in sims are left hand drive and I like to try and keep it as real as I can.
Thanks, yeah I did. I took the front off and drilled a couple of 6mm holes. Attached to on the outside face of the left steering wheel mount upright using the usual bolts and t-slot nuts, then put the front back on. Definitely worth doing, it has come in handy!
Yeah and small mige is more than enough, no idea now why I went for the large in hindsight lol. I need to use a hub, no choice really, rig is opposite side of room to PC and works good for me.
Why would you say a usb hub is not recommended? most serious sim racers have quite a lot of usb devices to connect, I have 6 devices I connect to my pc, even Barry Roland of sim racing garage uses one. Am interested in your assumption.
Thanks, well really after seeing various reviews and videos of ppl using them I just decided to go straight up to one. I was going to get the Fanatec CSW 2.5 but that ends up being a lot of money and figured I'd end up wanting to upgrade again anyway. I did consider the Accuforce but again it's already a lot of money. The wheel I got was from Simplicity in UK so avoided any import charges or high shipping charges.
what wheel did you have before ? I've already invested far too much money in the Fanatec CSW range, so holding out a little for their own DD wheel base which is on the horizon as all my wheel rims, shifter, handbrake will be compatible , failing that though i think i too would be drawn more to the OSW. anyhow i suspect you're loving it, who wouldn't (",)
I had the Logitech G29 before, which is a great wheel for the price, but unfair really to compare it to an OSW with that in mind. That said, it's a million times better lol. For yourself though, makes sense for you to wait now that you're so invested in the Fanatec ecosystem. However, I suppose the only real difference is you would need to buy the shifter USB adapter. You have a good wheel already so no harm in holding out though and see their offering, plus it would all run nicely out of one program (app for the youth).
Have you tried any other direct drive wheels to compare it to? I really want to pull the trigger on one of these but there's not a lot of info on how they compare out there.
@@AdamsSIMporium after a bit of research I've ordered pretty much the same setup you have, I got the same adapter, I have the McLaren rim though. Thanks for the video, it really helped!
Hey man as you have a direct drive wheel i was just wondering how well it works with games like Ets2, Farming simulator and other None racing sim driving games?? Reason i ask is ive ordered one for myself. Thanks
Hi yeah it does work with ETS2, used it quite a bit for that. FFB in ETS isn't great anyway though so don't expect much, but it does work. No idea about Farming Sim though sorry.
In general, all good thanks. Some issues with EMI so have wrapped cable in foil and grounded it which works. SimPlicity have sent me a new shielded cable, but that has it's own problems, will get sorted though. Now I am unsure about these cheap quick releases...

Great video, just about too purchase the 28nm simplicity myself and a find a fanatec Q1R also.. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks, my pleasure. You will not be dissapointed! I am now trying to decide on getting a USB converted Fanatec McLaren GT3 rim or not...

Found it, is there a cheap rim with button box available from them aswell, just got a cpu upgrade to do then, making the dive
I don't believe they actually sell any rims at all. Wireless Simucube rims should be coming out soon hopefully.
I was thinking of getting the 10Nm OSW from Simplicity, then I found your video.
Safe to say my bank account is a bit injured, lol
Ah, sorry about that lol. You will not be disappointed!
Raging Beard It's going to be a big step up from my old T300RS that's for sure!
I was going to buy the csw 2.5 but looking at the price I'm glad I went with the bigger upgrade lol.
My thought process entirely :) congrats mate, what rig will it be going on?
Raging Beard Thanks!
It's all being mounted on my Sim-Lab GT1 rig.
Nice rig. Would be interesting to scientifically test the rigidity difference of the GT1 and the P1, I suspect little to none lol. I am sure the 40x160 pieces are overkill!
Enjoying your vids. Love the cat :) They always have to get in the way. BTW What made you mount the gear lever on the right and not UK left?
Thanks and yeah they always seems to work out how to be the most annoying at any time lol. I mounted on the right because the majority of cars in sims are left hand drive and I like to try and keep it as real as I can.
Informative vid, helped me out mounting my Simucube! Question: did you mount the e-stop button to the 80 20 and if so how?
Thanks, yeah I did. I took the front off and drilled a couple of 6mm holes. Attached to on the outside face of the left steering wheel mount upright using the usual bolts and t-slot nuts, then put the front back on. Definitely worth doing, it has come in handy!
Raging Beard Thanks man! Drilled one hole and attached it to the upward!
Nice one. I got OSW small mige biss-c few weeks ago and I love it. What a difference. USB hub is not recommended mate.
Yeah and small mige is more than enough, no idea now why I went for the large in hindsight lol. I need to use a hub, no choice really, rig is opposite side of room to PC and works good for me.
Why would you say a usb hub is not recommended? most serious sim racers have quite a lot of usb devices to connect, I have 6 devices I connect to my pc, even Barry Roland of sim racing garage uses one. Am interested in your assumption.
Hub is like a bottleneck some OSW guru saying. Even simple USB extension is not recomended... lol.
Well either way, I don't have much choice in the matter lol.
That looks like it could rip your arms off! It'll be interesting to see how you get on with it.
So with the Sim-U-Cube, it's a straight forward setup? Good to hear. Thanks for sharing this.
Yeah no worries. Will put another vid out this weeks 3 months on from owning it. In short though, it's awesome, get one lol.
great vid
great unboxing, what made you decide on the OSW as a direct drive wheel ?

No, this is the only DD wheel I have ever tried. It is awesome, though if I was buying now I'd probably go for the Simucube 2 Pro (newer and sleeker).

Hi, do you still use this setup? Whats ur review till today
Yes I do, and I still love it, use it pretty much every day :)
Great vid. Glad I found your channel. 👍
awsome video
Thank you.
How's everything going?
In general, all good thanks. Some issues with EMI so have wrapped cable in foil and grounded it which works. SimPlicity have sent me a new shielded cable, but that has it's own problems, will get sorted though. Now I am unsure about these cheap quick releases...
which paddle shifters did you go with?
Check out my video unboxing the buttons and paddles :)
ah ok
Dig your cat mate :)
Lol cheers!
Good video, but your wheel its really ugly
Lol what you mean, the OMP Trecento?
