Full Simagic FFB Settings Guide! - Mechanical and Other Effects (3/3)

Hello and welcome to the third and final part of our Simagic / SimPro Manager FFB and settings guide.
In this series, John runs you through the various force-feedback and wheel settings available to adjust in the SimPro Manager software.
In this final section, we run you through the mechanical settings and other effects, to help you understand how these changes will influence overall immersion.
Check out the chapters at the bottom of this description to find the specific settings you are looking for, and make sure you check out parts 1 and 2 for a complete overview!

The Feedback Frequency slider is extremely important on iRacing. What it does is it gets the 60Hz signal from iRacing and upsamples it to a higher frequency, making it feel smoother and more detailed. It's like using iRFFB but done at the driver level which reduces latency tremendously. In order to feel the difference this does I suggest the following test:
1. Load up Sebring or Long Beach (something very bumpy) in iRacing with a stiff car (try Formula 4 or something similar);
2. Move Smoothness and Damper to 0;
3. Move Frequency to 0;
4. Notice how the FFB feels;
5. Move Frequency to 9;
6. Notice how the FFB is much smoother;

I installed my Simagic Alpha Mini, P1000 pedals and FX Pro wheel today, and this video series was highly beneficial. LMU feels like a different game compared to my Fanatec CSL DD.

[@tristonsaavedra7832]

I'm so glad you covered these settings, I just got mine and have been trying to understand the differences.

[@raceanywhere]

That’s great to hear! Enjoy your wheel 😊

Hi John. Just received my gt neo today! . Have it set up and I can report it's absolutely Epic. Thanks very much for the quick delivery

[@JamesClarksonSimracing]

Same, I absolutely love it.

[@JamesClarksonSimracing]

I'm on Alpha Mini and GT Neo after taking advantage of the bundle with the PSR3 rig. I'm very happy. I just leave it at 10Nm and have just started experimenting with the other sliders.
The 300mm wheel is ao much better than my old Fanatec V2 Formula wheel.
I came from DD1 of 3 years, and the Alpha Mini is smoother and has enough torque for me in GTE/GT3/LMP2/HY cars.
Thanks for the 3-part video.

[@yamacorsoglu827]

Loved this series, thank you so much

[@phirejack4179]

very good thanks I been looking at all the settings and had no idea what I was looking at,, so thanks for this.

[@Wilayaat]

Great series of videos, perfect timing too as I got the fantastic GT Neo last month and the Alpha is supposedly going to be delivered today from RaceAnywhere.
One thing to note though; the maximum torque for the current v3 version of the Alpha has been measured at 18.5Nm so quite a lot more than the advertised 15Nm!

[@EZ10_Live]

Great video bro

[@raceanywhere]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@rodrigolisowski3916]

Thank you very much for sharing these tutorials friend! Very well explained.
I bought alpha 15nm + GT NEO.
Could you help me with a situation?
I was unable to configure the second shift pedals with the second clutch and the bite point. That would be for iracing.

[@kdubz7285]

Thanks John, great series! Are you planing on sharing your preferred settings here or on Discord? I'd be curious to see how they stack up to others! Keep up the great work! :)

[@raceanywhere]

Great idea, thanks! I have now shared both the LMU and iRacing settings in the Simagic Community Discord, under "simagic-settings" 🙂

[@MK_UTD]

Thanks a lot, it was very helpful, just one question, do you have any plan to talk about the IRacing FFB settings? how much should be the Strength, I do not like that much the auto setting from IRacing as I always for me set to something low which looks like driving on air :D btw I have the same wheelbase with 15Nm

[@Considine7]

Just installed and setup my new simagic gear alpha gt neo and p1000 I bought from you guys 😄 🙌🏻 Thjs video great in helping with the base settings 😎😄 I have an issue calibrating brake though once calibrated and goes back to the main pedal page when testing and pressing the brake it never reaches 100% stops at 99%? No matter how hard I press? Any idea what’s causing this? This is the loadcell option when I switch it to angle it shows 100% ? I realise this is a force feedback video but I’m at a loss as to what’s causing this any help would be much appreciated 😎🙏🏻

[@user-jm9sv9dp2k]

I’m not able to get the rpm light works with My fx wheel on acc. Do you have any hint for that?

[@HoldenGrey_Racing]

Try restarting the game and or taking your wheel off and reconnecting it
