I got this wheel and it made me look at simagic more seriously and as soon as i possibly can im switching from my fanatec to simagic. Theres no denying what they offer for the price in every category is good.

After having owned a few Simagic wheels before getting the GT Neo, it's definitely the best bang for buck wheel. There's some cost cutting to meet the price point for sure, but none of those details outweigh the low price point. Really hope they eventually come out with a wheel that takes this design and gives it all the high end materials and build quality of their higher end wheels

@bfife22 3 ай бұрын
@@anticalgary I haven’t. I was close to pulling the trigger on the GT4 but went FX instead. Then later was close to pulling the trigger on a used GT4 and they announced the Neo, so I waited for it. They’ve already said they are working on other wheels with Maglink, so it might be better to wait and see what else comes out this year before making a decision

@andreasotto1977 3 ай бұрын
I came here to write the very same. 😊 Many people think you need the MagLink for generic USB connection, but as long as you have components that are fine with a USB C Port (which is wired to USB 2 specs with one data line only, so adapters will work) you can use the wheel right out of the box, just pop in your own QR.
@IvebenKruzen 3 ай бұрын
@@andreasotto1977 I would only use the USB-C socket if the application is like the Asetek QR system so it won't apply any movement or strain to the USB port on the back of the Neo. If it's a coiled cable from the usb-c port to a hub or a PC it won't last too long before it fails.

I have the NEO which I use for GT racing and the FX Pro for Open Wheels/LMP racing. Of course, the NEO is good for both, but you would be amazed how just 10mm smaller wheel can make for F1, for example. Same in reverse, with the GT NEO it just feels that little more comfortable for GT cars. I love them both.
@TheSimCircuit 3 ай бұрын
100% agree with you. I think 280mm perfect for formula cars however if you can only have one I would rather suggest getting a 300mm than a 280 or 270mm but yea if you can have both then that’s best route to go 🙌🏻

Hey Mate, thanks for the nice review! since you got both on the table: wich wheel feels nicer for you: SiMagic GT NEO or Astek Forte Formula Steering Wheel? :) without considering the price difference
@TheSimCircuit 2 ай бұрын
The buttons on the forte feels nicer also the forte feels sturdier, shifters on the Neo feels nicer but encoders on forte nicer than neo. Overall the forte I would say is built a little better. I think the layout of the forte wheel is among the best on market that’s why I find myself using it often. BUT if I was buying again and could only buy one of them 2 wheels I would buy the NEO. Price difference with all the features and it’s a good looking wheel makes it an easy choice for me I would buy the Neo but you will be happy with either I am sure. 🙌🏻

@TheSimCircuit 2 ай бұрын
Hey matey thanks for watching. I did each led one at a time. You basically write the code if ABS = X them light this light led this colour. Download my profile from the description of this video then go into simhub and edit you will see what I have done. You can probably copy and paste to your profile it will save you allot of time. I only done it for top 2 encoders but just change led numbers if you want to use on different encoder.

@anjo2 3 ай бұрын
1. You don't need to close Simhub to use Simpro, just disconnect the wheel at the devices tab. 2. The funky switches on all wheels are the same Alps Alpine ones, the feel on the Simagic or GSI or Ascher will be the same, the only difference is the knob. 3. The shifters are impressively well constructed and literally 0 flex but they are quite weak, i added 2 extra magnets for each shifter to make it feel good 4. The grips are very ergonomic and smooth, but looks like they only used some layers of rubber and it will wear out specially with gloves that have the stitches on the outside 5. The internals are quite impressive for the price, it has an Arm MCU which is quite powerful, but has some bugs like you cannot rotate the funky switch encoders too fast because it will only send one signal
@TheSimCircuit 3 ай бұрын
Wow very detailed comment, I like it. You should do a review 🙌🏻 I got the GSI FPE v2 delivered this week and can confirm that funky switch feels same. But the Neo actually has stronger shifters than the FPE 🤷🏼♂️ I can’t talk bout insides cause if I open my wheel it will never be reassembled in working order 😂 thanks for watching matey it’s appreciated 👍🏻
@anjo2 2 ай бұрын
@@TheSimCircuit Thanks, i might do written reviews in the future. Simagic fixed the funky switch encoder, before it would take me about 11s to go from 0l to 100l in iRacing black box, and now only 6.5s, it's a huge improvement, if you want to test i'm using the Sim Pro Manager 2.0.339 Beta (you can also adjust the bite point pressing one clutch and rotate the right side thumb encoder)
@TheSimCircuit 2 ай бұрын
You should do some written reviews you write with so much detail it’s great 🙌🏻 I don’t use funky switches to be honest but will be testing out the clutch bitepoint. Would be amazing to be able to adjust on the go this was on of my favourite features when I had my CSX2.
@bschalker Ай бұрын
@The Sim Circuit, I noticed you switched back to the Simucibe 2 Pro. Do you prefer the SC2 Pro over the Asetek Invicta?
@TheSimCircuit Ай бұрын
I did switch back when simucube brought 360hz data rate to iRacing but at this moment the invicta base is back on my rig after they launched racehub 3.0 that I wanted to test and honestly I can’t be bothered switching between bases all the time so I decided to stick with invicta at the cost of a little bit of detail when driving. I love the astek QR so much and how my wheels are powered instantly without having to switch cables also the 5 usb-c ports on back of base connect my shifter, handbrake & ddu so cables look a bit neater. 100% noticed difference in smaller details of ffb when going back to invicta after using my simucube pro and I am hoping that astek will soon also support 360hz on iRacing as it’s my main sim. So to break it down both bases are amazing but the simucube now definitely has a bit more details in the ffb compared to the invicta where before they were basically even. But the invicta comes with few other quirks that simucube does not have 🤷🏼♂️
