Now it comes with the upgraded solid pedal tray which you can also buy as a standalone
Barry, you are the rockstar of simracing! I love every bit of your reviews, you review every piece of gear with an open mind and with costs/performance in mind. Keep up your reviews, they are pure gold!
I don't see other youtubers go into this much detail in testing ,building. You need a good reviewer to do this as it a large investment of money. Other reviewers just take it out of the box.
Your channel really hits the spot. The only guy I'll watch when it comes to anything SIM.
Keep it up. !!
Just built my omega GT prime last night with you nonetheless! Holy crap Barry that was so awesome to be able to follow you step-by-step and I got it all done! It’s my first race sim and I can’t wait to start getting into it! Thank you so much!
Hi, I'm curious, after some use what have you thought about the issue with the flex in the pedal plate?
I like so much when Barry says :
"So Let's get to it!"
Barry they improved the pedal tray. Now there is no flex. Rock solid. Maybe a little review with the new update.
Barry please please test the Astek invicta 😅.
You are a old school man, and this mean from all reviewer you are the best. A Rock Star. Greats from Europe 🇵🇹 Portugal
I’m getting a Bob Ross vibe from this guy and it’s awesome!
Thank you for the review. Having researched a bit for my new rig, I am almost certain that this will now be it thanks to your review here. Thank you very much!
Thanks for the review, this one helped me decide to pick one up and I'm loving it. Sent a couple bucks your way, will do everytime you steer me to another great product! Keep it up!
its always a pleasure to watch you do hotlaps, i watch very carefully and you are one of the few sim racers that i see on youtube that have absolute consistency. a bad turn for you is when you don't hit it perfect. if i had to guess you have at least 30 years of racing experience under your belt between sim and real life, im 27 and you just have a style that screams I've been racing longer than you've been alive. thank you for the videos. im hoping we see some new motion simulation on the market this year. im ready to invest in a system but im on a budget. ide like to keep it under 5 grand, my chassis now flexes everywhere and is 7 years old. so instead of buying a new rig i just want to go right to motion. i use VR and it would really top off the experience. so im hoping i see some sub $5000 motion rigs and some SRG reviews on them in 2021. ive watched all yours so far on motion platforms and wheels. its hard to choose or its out of my price bracket typically. im still using a CSW 2,5 full clubsport setup. and im still content with the motor, but my wheel stand if you pull the steering wheel towards you then let go it has a good 3 inches of travel back and fourth like a spring. it was made for a logitec wheel/pedal combo so it just has one support between my legs. ive been due for a new rig for 2 years and keep putting it off since ide like to go from racing on a spring essentially with what i have now right to a rock solid motion unit with no play in the wheeldeck or pedal plate, heck even my shifter mount flexes with a clubsport shifter. a direct drive wheel would break the welds im almost certain. and it just bugs me that i have never felt my wheel on a solid mount, im probably losing 1-1.5 Nm of torque and fidelity due to the wheel deck flexing the opposite way the wheel is trying to send me feedback.
Thx for the video. Used it to put together my omega prime.
Ordered this cockpit yesterday based on your review. Thanks a ton Barry!
I also ordered this thanks to this review, I'm just a casual racer and I'm sure that this will suit me fine.
Question: Can you move the steeringwheel plate move back and forward or is the steeringwheel mounted on one place?
@@CiroDiMaRzio12304 You would move the 2 horizontal profiles further back or foward in the grooves at the bottom to adust the reach, the pitch is adjustable.
Really good review, good job!!
I see a Fender amp and a Rickenbacker; a man of fine taste.
That seat is really cool
Looking forward to seeing the review for the Simtrecs pedals :-)
Just received my Omega Prime a couple of days ago and they have addressed the issue with the pedal deck. I've posted a short video to show the change. But to sum it up, there is now no issues with flex.
I am happy with my GT Omega Prime. I would like to see more price comparisons on cockpits plus shipping costs. I saved almost $300 on the GT Omega (i pre ordered it) over a P1X after shipping was calculated to the US. I used that savings on some Trak racer parts - inverted pedal tray, mouse tray, keyboard tray. Maybe a piece of 4040 under the pedal tray to reenforce it would have worked and you can adjust the height or the pedal tray up or down 40mm between each of the 40x160 slots.
cheers Barry, Legend
The best thing about this is GT Omega is adapting to the market. Yes there is still room for cheap prefab chassis but lets face it. The best setup for sim racing is aluminum profile hands down.
If they get the pedal tray sorted and they release a front/side mount option for dd wheels. This could definitely be a contender to SimLab. Especially if they can ship cheaper.
Looks good
Great video as always Berry... what are your fanalab settings for your DD1?
you should review the updated pedal plate . they have revised it . will be ordering my Prime when stock is available.
Fantastic review. Bought one and first thing I did wad replace the feet. 40mm rubber feet from Amazon. I don't feel the pedal flex because I am not pounding on the pedals on the deck plate. I added a SR Racing Sequential Shifter Pro. Fitted with no modification to the cockpit. The GT Omega XLRS seat you can buy for this cockpit was very fiddly to install, the hardest part of the build. Watch this this video to assemble the cockpit because it is 100% better than the instructions in the box.
Oh no.. I ordered the XLRS seat.. fingers crossed I don't screw it up. Do you have a link for the rubber feet? Or if not a link (since TH-cam flags and removes links generally) what keywords should I punch into an Amazon search?
good lord that shifters loud
An additional hole on each side of the pedal plate with bolts going into the side profile could stiffen it up but only if you're running it flat like here.
Another goood thing abiout this rig is how high you can set your wheel due to the tall pillars (the're taller than the P1X by 5cm or so).
@Sim Racing Garage Thank you for these detailed and insightful reviews.
I have a question that I hope you can address. Has it gotten to the point that the Sim Cockpit Kit manufactures price points are down around what you would expect to pay if you tried to build the frame by sourcing Aluminum Profile yourself as a DIY project, possibly just buying a wheel mount and pedal tray from one of the Kit makers?
The $1K price point for a solid rig seems like a lot and I am wondering how much extra overhead is being built into the price and if maybe sourcing the profile separately might cut the cost a few hundred dollars.
Thank you.
Great review Barry...that shifting though, would no doubt break my rig hehe..
Yeah, would be abusive in most real cars too. I let a guy try out my rig several months ago, result was a trashed fanatec shifter. Lesson learned I guess. Don't let non-car folks near your expensive equipment unless they're willing to accept criticism and coaching under close supervision.
Would like to see one of the GSI wheels.
SRG need some T-shirts and other Merch with "So...Lets Get To It" on 'em.
Beautiful pedals. What brand/model are they again? I couldn't find any info on Sim Trex.
Great!
Thanks Barry. What are those pedals you are showing mounted during driving? I thought you said Simtrex, but I cant find any sort of info on them.
I think it's safe to say that this man is the best sim racing reviewer on the platform. Also it's a pleasure to watch him do hot laps with mad consistency. Makes you wonder how long he's been racing/sim racing, cause I am nowhere near that level of skill lol although I'm learning :P
Great video as always
I see that you did make this a long time ago when the cockpit was new. I was looking at ordering one for myself now and they do have an upgraded tray for the petals, but can I ask what you feel? The top cockpits are as of early 2024?I will try to comment on whatever your newest video is to get your attention as I would like to place an order as soon as possible, but really value your opinion before I spend the money
Just wondering if you could put links for all the products you review.Thanks
The audio delay around 21:30 ...yeesh! I sure hope that's in the recording and not input lag. I see you blip throttle on downshift, then i watch you release the clutch, then I hear the blip. Edit: appears to only be the picture-in-picture that's out of time. I'm surprised I even noticed it!
I'm torn between this and the TR80. This is cheaper and from what I've read GT Omega took the feedback on board and made improvements but I haven't seen any up to date reviews. Would also hope the T-LCM pedals can be accommodated.
I’d like to see a review of those new wooden Rocksolid rigs 😅
100% I'd love to see Barry install and test the RSR-21. Dave Cameron is using it for his full-time rig now.
Could you please review a playseat sensation pro if you haven't already?
Any plans on reviewing the GT Omega Titan? I just got one and I am pretty impressed with it!
I had a hunch you were a Dan Electro kinda guy :)
Do the HE sprints fit? Not sure why those didn't get a mention.
I already have an RS9 from the Art. Will I need to get anything extra to mount the seat on the Prime?
Hi, anyone have thoughts on the Simetik k2-r($700cdn) compared to the gtomega prime($730)… I’m planning to use a direct drive wheel.. the prime also comes with the shifter already.. but the Simetik looks awesome..
Would the pedal plate be solid enough for a csl elite LC pedals?
Thanks for another awesome review, Barry. I wish I too had a sim racing garage.. My major issue with these monolithic rigs is that they are so darn ugly. I am already getting flack from my family for my sim racing; so I can just imagine what would happen if I were to erect one of these contraptions in our rec room. I think it will rather be the NLR GTtrack for my humble setup.
@Jenson Ristevski Haha! I am a stealthy sim racer 😊. I ended up building my own rig in wood and it actually turned out much nicer than I had expected, cost less than $100 and, more importantly, my family approves of the uncluttered look! I just received a notice that my CSL DD is about to ship and I am super excited. I have been using my current wheel (Fanatec CSR) for 10 years, so that is going to be a big upgrade for me.
is there a link for the seat brackets? I really need a set for my bucket seat
I've had my Prime cockpit for a little over 2 weeks now and absolutely LOVE it. I've only got T-LCM pedals though so not a ton of pressure being applied. For me the cockpit was money well spent. I really like the 8020 for all the accessories, options are endless! All in all I think it's a great cockpit for the money.
How's the comfort? Did you use one of their seats? My biggest complaint with sim racing is I can't get comfortable enough and my body back, butt, and legs get sore after half an hour sitting in an office chair with a G27 on the desk.
@@DerekMoore82 hello i have one of these and i love mine. as far as seating positions there are many. im using there xl-rs seat and love it. im my opinion this is a GREAT sim rig. money well spent.
@@gdog-wk5ww Thanks Scott! I ordered the same seat, so that's reassuring.
Will the P1-X pedal tray fit this? Since its 80/20 I would imagine so. Has anyone done it that can confirm?
Was expecting a pinned comment from GT omega regarding the pedal plate... any word?
do you ever sell any of the equipment you never use i am trying to get into sim racing for the last to years just got my new pc and trying to save to get the rest
oh i love your videos
If anything it's gonna cost more than retail price because simracing Jesus touched it
I got it with the preorder discount, it was a no-brained then. I got SimLab pedal plate and slider (I had to drill two holes and it is very stiff with no flex for my HE Sprint) as well as thenout for my Simucube 2 Pro. The P1X was not an option because of the shipping cost to the US.
How thick is that pedal plate vs the gtomega one
But I am still by mouse and keyboard and sometime not too far away from all this! ;-))
Great video as always 👍. My missus would kill me twice if I owned that shifter , once for spending so much and again for how noisy it is !
Shift that thing like it owes you money!
I'm done xD That's a great comparison
@@xxtrengt8871 lol
The pedal tray does sound a bit like a drum set.
That's the shifter.
Hey buddy, what monitors are those?
Asus ROG PG279Q
How do you afford all this testing?
Companies send it to him
@@Sithhy But why did they start sending it to him to begin with, before the channel got big? Or in other words: how many subscribers would you need before a company will send you something? Or is it less about subscriber count and more about the way you film and edit, the quality of the lighting, the audio, the presentation, etc.
Just ordered mine. Can someone tell me, do side mounts for a dd1 make that much difference? The setup looks pretty solid as standard.
Thanks in advance
Barry, you always look like you're trying to destroy the rig when you drive the Lotus 79... But I love it!!!
Hey, what wheel would anyone recommend for someone who only wants to pay around 250, but wants decent speed and power?
250 what?
the pedal tray should be with 8020 parts, not a plate, and it will be 100% stiffer.....I will order a Prime but I will build my own pedal tray with 8020 parts, for inverted pedals.
hi
I like to build an cockpit you have the drawings (DWG) 2d plans our so like that?
good cockpit
I see a trend of sim racers posting their own designs if this kind of rig, stuff they've "designed" and sourced parts and built, some look very good, some not so much. A big selling point is cost for these TH-camrs, how much you can save. Then you start to notice, single brackets, uprights butted to the top of the horizontal beams, instead of using longer uprights fixed to the larger surface area of the side of the horizontal beams. It's the little things that matter, they're usually big things in the end. Buy once, and buy right! The bitterness of poor quality and engineering lasts way longer than the joy of a good bargain, saving a few hundred £/$ is not a smart move when making a big purchase like this, the chance is that few $ was spent making sure it works, lasts and is safe, and you are paying for the added benefit of comeback if it all goes wrong, good luck getting your money back from a part time youtuber who sold you some plans and got a kickback from the material suppliers he will surely tell you lots of good things about.
This guy though, well him you can trust to tell you what is what. Top bloke who knows what is good and doesn't sugar coat his views. Keep up the great work!
What gloves are those?
It says Gorrilla Grip on em' i want a pair too lol.
I want a dd1.
work and get one
@@elopobaconforpigsqc1061 once my csl dies. I don’t need it.... Just want it
This is basically a p1x?
yeah but 300$ cheaper
@@JoshuaDay0550 how much is it?
Simlab vs this? I'm hesitating.
Simlabs P1X
Sim Labs. Hands down. Far better quality and customer service.
@@Zxays GT1 Evo or the omega prime? they are about the same price with everything added to the gt1 evo
No place in the market for this really with SIMLAB getting all the key areas strong
very nice ad-review and very bad shifting.
the pedal tray is fixed after they copied simlabs p1x solution.
Only if you think using aluminum end plates to mount 40mm profile to 40mm profile is "copying".
Shit, I’ll hack my g25..
I love my Prime rig, id just suggest NOT getting a GT Omega seat, they are not very good and you can get better for less money.
be very interested in you reviewing this rig Barry. www.slicksteel.co.uk/cobra.html
Oh wow... I hope that rig is better than this website.
