There are actually mods for enabling manual transmissions for each individual vehicle. I use it and it's sooo fun to legitimately rev match my tractors when I drive lol
@@boostedmedia haha of course it is!, i only drive in VR atm so any extra tool is not really helpful, but when i finally build my Triple Screen rig then i´ll consider alot of those tiny things :D
I'd highly recommend anyone looking at getting this to check out the DIY route first. With an Arduino Nano and WS2812b matrix you can quite easily recreate this for under $10 and 3d files are available on Thingiverse for the enclosure. It's pretty much as simple as soldering 3 wires and uploading the sketch via Simhub. All the instructions can be found on the Simhub Wiki or join our Discord ;)
Even with the minor flaws in the finishing of that device, it’s still seems really useful. Especially with the proximity markers.. I like that the numbers on it are so bold when going through gears. Plus it looks really sharp on your rig. I think I’m going to go ahead and get one… thanks for the review
@Boosted Media I hope for this too. I really appreciate hearing both your thoughts. The sim almost never will be perfect. I fly airliners for a living. We have motion sims worth $15M each. They’re not perfect but they certainly make you sweat and focus like the real thing. The three 747 sims we had were not equal - one the sims was much more realistic in longitudinal stability than the others. I’ve been watching both your channels for over a year. - about to install windows on my first pc since windows 3.1 I really appreciate your thoughts and comments on the sim racing world as I upgrade from a PS4. I’ll enjoy this for what it is and hopefully learn more in depth details about ffb from you both on my t300. Thankyou both for educating me 👏🏻👏🏻
great review; got me to order one and it improved my gaming experience. the simracing community needs more budget, bang for the buck mods/videos like this keep up the good work, keep it succinct and to the point! with more racing content!
Thanks for mentioning this product to us Will! Excellent video as always and appreciate you being so through. Your videos have been so very helpful and informative.
So got my SimLed modul last week and after 2 times racing the Leds are not working anymore....bottom leds just stopped.....but perfect service from them....they send me a New onze today. 👍👍👍👍
I've been using an equivalent Arduino with 8x8 matrix for 3 years. Two, in fact. Previously with the iFlag software, and separately I was using SimHub for a dash and 7-seg display. I just found out 2 weeks ago it was capable of using the matrix for flags and I've started tuning it to my preferences; it's much more flexible than iFlag by itself and removes 2 running instances of software. I use it in ATS for low oil pressure, park brake, and beacon light indicators. The 7seg has been tuned to be a light monitor, too. I have set modes for head lights, park-only lights, indicators, brakes, reverse, etc. I spent a lot of time tuning all of these things over the last 2 years. I have a pretty unique setup now thanks to SimHub. The.. Only issue I really have is that I can't really see the tablet that my dashboard runs on.. lol
Thanks for sharing this great gadget! Looks really cool. I was thinking 🤔 has anyone found a solution for generating the smell of burning rubber, oil, and petrol? That's about the only thing missing at this point. 😂
2 units costs$A147.00 delivered to Australia, including PayPal and foreign exchange fees- ordered, don’t think the discount code kicked in though. Thxs Will
I legit had everything to make this in my Amazon cart. Instead I’m going to buy this and use your code. Thanks will I was looking for something new thst wasn’t high end like a whole new wheel base.
Nice that you are doing demos in AMS2 :) I have similar for gears and redline only mounted on top of my Simucube 2 Pro, so it's actually between my eyes and screen.. works very well if you want to swap between different cars.. so you eyes always know where to check for current gear
Great review, and super interesting product. Looking at the thumbnail I thought it was a waste, but after the review I can see myself getting one. The price is right for some interesting functionality.
Brilliant for spotter and flags, being honest and not snobbish but presentation not refined enough as a gear indicator for me. Sim dashboard app and an old iphone looks much better. As a side note received the Boosted Media Mug today and it's quite refined and very good looking, for a mug.
I definitely think the flag and spotter feature are the most valuable for me. I’ll probably end up turning off the gear indicator most of the time. Glad you like the mug.
For me this is a totally unnecessary piece of equipment, since I use crew chief and my wheel shows my gears, rpm, etc. Still buying it though 🤣. Nice to show off to your friends
Do you know the dimensions of the product? What is the distance between the mounting holes? If the bolt centers are 55mm apart, this should fit on a Fanatec wheelbase. Good, detailed review as always :)
Applied discount, and no cable (we all have one leftover from old phones) - it's Eur$48.90 - which is Au$76 shipped (converted using Google's conversion rate, which is Morningstar). It is good, but that's perhaps the value to list in the title. (Edit: Note I've been corrected, below, in US$ cos there's more of you than there is of us!!).
Hey mate. Title is referring to USD as the vast majority of viewers are in the US. Can’t add every currency in the title so I try to go with the most common.
Does anyone know? I already have an iFlag that I made....which is basically the same thing, an Arduinio with an led matrix. It's missing some of the features though like the gear indicator and only works with iRacing. Can I just flash this software onto the Arduino? Edit: If I can get this to work I will definitely try to figure out how to send some money their way. I don't feel like a need a whole new device but I understand they put time into the sketch.
Good question. I've also got an iflag and would be interested to know if it's possible. Don't particularly need the additional features, but nice to have if it's simple to do
@@StePhillips I've always wanted the gear selector, plus being able to use it in ACC as well as racing. Also one less program to open since I'm already using simhub.
@@cowboy8038 That makes sense. I'm only really on iRacing and have other devices to show which gear I'm in. Would be nice to have it working through Simhub (though iflag seems to be a tiny bit of software). Good luck, would be good to hear how you get on 👍
I thought he was in a real car, real environment the whole time and when i saw it was compatible for games i was like ???? THEN I figures out it was for sim racing like man the realism of this sim
What sim is it that u run at the end of the video.. Ore mod, whatever it is, please let me know. BTW. I'm new to ure channel and ure making great constant and I don't have to say that ure rig blew my mind. Wbr.
You can see the input lag between the flag on the screen (on the right of the steering wheel) and the Flag itselfe. To be honest, for the Start of a Race, that's quite a disadvantage, isn't it?
Yeah I saw this on RD over the past several months or so also @Boosted Media I think I left a comment there, my main problem was the finish of the product also would be nice with a higher quality casing specially looking at it on your rig, I never realised with the gears though just thought it was a flag box
I’m wondering if three of these can be used together having a central one used for gear selection and then two on each side used for blue and yellow flags only? 🤔
Great video and a very usefull gadget. Your setup must be one of the most immersive ones I've seen so far. Trivial question, but what game are you running in this video?
Should do. Works with all games that feed the telemetry data out. IRacing works with crew shied so should also work with this. Will let you know for sure next time I load up iRacing.
I don't understand why wind sim is a thing. If you've ever been in a real race car, suited up, you know first hand that wind is something you would kill for. Lol. I understand it provides feedback. But I struggle to see how it could possibly immersive. Its quite the opposite actually.
what game are you playing in this video? Sorry if you mentioned it in the video, not gonna lie i saw this video in the middle of watching a different video so skimmed through it
Hey Will, any chance we could see a DIY version of this using your 3D printer for those who also have access to one? On another note, I’m based in Canada and can’t find fans suitable for my wind sim, any new product recommendations?
Has anyone tried this with iracing and can you confirm that the visual spotter works for both sides of the car? Also, if I have 2 of these, can I assign a spotter side to each?
I posted a Thingiverse link on here yesterday to a DIY version of this and it's been deleted......twice. I was just trying to help people make their own to reduce costs as the majority of sim racers don't have an endless amount of money to spend on their rig. Can I ask why it was deleted? It is because this video was an advert? If so please accept my apologies.

That's what I would do. Maybe if this came with a better looking/feeling case, than it might be worth it, but right now it just isn't imo.

Thanks for the Simhub guide. Mine arrived today - holy guac it is so cool!
I think this would be really cool for hiding the HUD completely in a game to focus on the driving but still having your gear right there.
Good review, fair and honest. 👍

wow...what a fantastic product and really cheap too.
GT1 cars in Bathurst is probably my favorite combo in AMS2 at the moment, too much fun.
he was driving in ams2 in that video right? havent had a look at ams2 and im just wondering.
Awesome, thank you for the great info. Nice rig :)
just ordering but discount code doesnt work unfortunatly
Yeehhh! Just bought two of these (one vor every side) three weeks ago. Value is great
Looks like a cheaper way to get a screen for your wheel or if u don't want one above/attached to the wheel. For ppl on a tighter budget. Not bad
Never heard of simhub before definitely going have a look at it tonight
I legit had everything to make this in my Amazon cart. Instead I’m going to buy this and use your code. Thanks will I was looking for something new thst wasn’t high end like a whole new wheel base.
Had a look at the website about an hour ago, was in stock. Just gone back to place an order now they are out of stock 🙈
So i entered the comp and after submitting my idea i thought of a better one :/ frustrating haha. you guys do a great job as it is anyway.
you actually have a car. so cool.

Is there a way to have the car left right indicator WITH the gear select up at the same time? I'm not sure I like it fully over riding
Are arduino needed in general to drive these LED flags? Or are there some models that works with and other without? Thank you
How do you get your screen edges to disappear like that. Is there some piece of glass or plastic that’s reflecting or something?
can you buy like 3 of them and have one be your gears and the sides as the telemetry data?
Is that iracing?
It’s cool. It’s affordable. Imma get one.
I don't get why you wouldn't use one of the Android telemetry apps instead of this.
Does this work with American truck sim? As a gear notification
after the arduino test data settings what do i do next? ive opened AC or ACC, and the dash doesnt show my gear indicator or flags? what should i do?
