  • A quick update on the Simjack Pro Pedals after 6 months.
    Hardware is working well but the stock elastomers gave in after 4 months.
    This video show me testing the various elastomers available from Hawkeng via Amazon.
    I prefer a softer/longer pedal so went for the 45a version which i think are around 10% harder than stock elastomers. I have been using these now for 2 months and no issues to report.
    Watch until the end to see a visual comparison of pedal travel between the grades tested.
    As an example: (opinion)
    38a - very soft, useful if you do not have a secure rig for pedals
    45a - Similar to original (10% harder i suspect)
    55a - Good for most, reduces pedal travel a little more
    69a - Hard - OK if you like stiff pedal and maybe use shoes/heel plate
    85a - Very hard
    If you go decide to try the Hawkeng elastomers, you may also need some larger
    diameter washers to compensate for the higher diameter elastomers (Original 25mm/New 32mm)
    I have been using nylon versions that Hawkeng also provide.

    If you want to spend a little over $100 USD, get the Heusinkveld Sim Pedals Ultimate Upgrade Kit, it'll work for these pedals and u can even use their software since it comes with a controller. Much better quality elastomers.
    Find a retailer in your country to avoid high international shipping lol

    Thank you for set of videos and effort in creating these amazing side by side tests. I'm also 100% iracing and struggling with modulation with my Fanatec v3s currently, particularly when trailing off the brakes into corners. Today I've purchased the Sim jack Pros and 69a from your amazon link. From the video this looks spot on - I drive in thin shoes so looks like it'll be ok (for an initial setup at least!) joining the discord and FB group now. Thanks again.

    Great video man, thanks for the info and the links! I understand you prefer the softer feel, but have you looked into changing the spring too? That's been a popular change in the disc as well

    • @melv45
      @melv45  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      i have tried replacing spring also - went back to stock.. I think there is some more work to do here

    If Hawkeng released an assortment of different hardnesses, that would be amazing. I'd love to be able to get a more progressive feel without buying several kits at $15 each.

    • @melv45
      @melv45  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Agreed. They did say that in the future they may look to create a kit but for now it's easier for several reasons to just supply individual hardness sets.

    Have you tried the 3drap elastomers? Great video btw

    • @melv45
      @melv45  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have not but I hear good things about it.

    Are you sure that A45 are similar to the originals? The original ones should be shore A60.

    • @melv45
      @melv45  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It depends on the setup and age of the elastomers. I think the originals are weak compared to other 60a examples.

    • @nicovitali6349
      @nicovitali6349 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I mounted them today, the 45A ones are slightly softer than the original 60A ones; I suppose the 55A ones are perfect for me since I don't wear shoes. I'll try them later.@@melv45

    Just getting into pc racing. Why do all the games graphics look like rubbish. Are there any titles that look hyper realistic?

    • @melv45
      @melv45  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Don’t take my video as an example of best graphics. With the right hardware many games can be made to look incredible. My OBS recording settings are pretty bad.

      @GapeGang 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Because it has complex calculations for physics, not trash like Forza and GT7

    • @ivana6141
      @ivana6141 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @GapeGang I appreciate the better physics. It looks like some good looking racing games are coming soon. Looking forward to assetto corsa 2.

      Sure, LMU is pretty nice. Also looking forward to AC2@@ivana6141
