This is the best modern marketing ever. Instead to pay milions for commercials, videos, promotions… make a product and sell it to your fanbase for „too good to be true“ price tag. Fans are more then happy, product gets hyped, it brings more new people to the eco system and business is growing. GT Neo is so amazing. I still think about to sell my moza ks and replace it with gt neo even i have everything from moza… Great review! Thank you!

Ah NO NO dont get me wrong - this was not meant for you and not negative AT ALL! I wanted to say (let me think since english is not my first language. i speak german..): I find it great move from simagic instead to put millions in the videos marketing campaigns and all that.. they just made such a strong wheel and they not even selling it at a competitive price. This wheel has no competition at this moment at least. And so many people who never could afford a wheel that quality can do that now. i‘m really fighting for around 2 weeks now against the buy-now button haha because i want to upgrade my moza srp load cell pedalls with conspit cpp lite. This is more important upgrade for me at least but gt neo is so good that it is really hard not to get one. there is really NO reason not to get one as long they get produced and are still in stock.

Lawrence you can change the rev light percentages on the left side to any number to match up exactly with any lights in game. It’s a bit of work to get every light synced up with every light coming on in game but it is adjustable by 1% on every level so it can be synced perfectly with any car. Once you have taken the time to make the lights on the wheel match the in game lights you can save it as a profile so that the next time you drive that car just load that cars profile and the rev lights are perfectly synced up. Each car takes me about 5 min of revving in the pit lane to get synced perfectly and save a profile.

@LaurenceDusoswa 14 күн бұрын

5 mins for each car is just madness though :p It should be as simple as turning a rotary encoder while redlining (or at optimal revs) and you shouldn't need to save profiles for something so basic.

@alecmillea4539 14 күн бұрын

@@LaurenceDusoswa if you don’t want to spend that much time you don’t need to. I’m just fussy with having the color and timing of every single rev light in game match on my wheel. If you just want to change when they flash to indicate the rev limit then just change the top percentage number in the software. It takes 5 seconds.

@catnipherb Ай бұрын

Great review and the neo is a beautiful wheel. I'm worried about one thing. I use a Fanatec esport formula wheel to play ACC with it, and its 270mm wide. The Neo is 300mm wide and I'm too used to wheels smaller than 300mm. Do you think its a hinderance switching to a wider steering wheel when you're used to something shorter?

@LaurenceDusoswa 14 күн бұрын

If you like a narrow wheel, I would stick with a narrower wheel. A wider wheel will also give you more turning leverage which will dampen your ffb slightly, so it depends on your wheelbase. If you have a 10Nm+ wheelbase, the 300 will be fine for sure. even on a smaller base it can give a great experience.

20:20 you can click on the percentage value and rewrite it, for example, from 97% to 98%. You set the led lights only on the top row and set the percentages you need and then set all the other rows. I know, you always have to set it manually for each car you want to drive and save it.

Yep. I am aware of this but can’t let it impact my experience. In situations like that, the most important thing is how Simagic responds. Resellers are really good so I can’t see there being any issues if something like that happens.

Plus it was a pre production version. I'm in different Simagic groups and not a single report of a broken wheel until that of Jardier. I myself have an Alpha running at strong setting and I'm a pretty big guy. No issues. If a broken version scares you away from buying I guess you can't buy anything anymore. Everything can break down. Cars, TV's, computers, etc.

Listen I have a gt neo its fantastic in looks but you can tell the coners cut. Grips, plastic feel etc. For the price its hard to beat but people have hyped them up so much that peoples expectations arent realsitic with it. Like the shifters even are just so bad imo lol they just dont feel good not just the dampening but the positive feel is off. Dampening should be deep but also till feel very positive. Still hsve a nice pop. I just dislike the reviews on this wheel people even on the negatives try flipping it into a positive. Moza ks also gives me the same vibes. Simagic imo is better for sure though.

@madgamer574 Ай бұрын

Gotta disagree. I think the shifters feel fantastic and the wheel itself doesn’t fall short. Obviously it won’t be as good as a cube or gsi but for the price, it’s really good

@reviewforthetube6485 Ай бұрын

@@madgamer574 I said it's good but reviews are giving out unrealistic expectations then peoppe grt them and go why does it feel cheaper? Why does it feel so plasticky why do the grips feel lesser etc. If people would know the shortcuts people would still buy but know that they arent getting this wheel that's going to match the quality of higher end wheels which it seems some people are making out that it would.

@bfife22 Ай бұрын

The Neo is going to feel great compared to the vast majority of $300 and less wheels. If that’s all you’ve used, you won’t really notice where they cut corners. When compared to my FX and GT Pro however, it’s very easy to tell.

@reviewforthetube6485 Ай бұрын

@bfife22 yeah that's actually my only point. You see people asking gt neo or fx? In posts on Facebook and reddit and just everywhere and peoppe bring it reviews and them say get the neo get the neo! It's better! Peoppe truely out here thinking it's as good as 600 to 1k dollar wheels. Thede are people who have not owned others so they spread false information based on what they are told and here. Like I'm sry no wheel can hsve 0 issues or 0 flaws. As you see in reviews even if something is pointed out right after they flip it to somehow not be a flaw lol.

@LaurenceDusoswa Ай бұрын

Well it's a good thing there are lots of reviewers. Personally, I DO think this is better than the FX and FX Pro. The main reason being the grips and the location of the 7 way hats. Not to mention that it has more 7-way hats. The materials of the FX wheels are better, but the looks of the GT Neo are better. These are just my opinions. And bear in mind that I review €200 - €2000 steering wheels all the time. My expectations are HIGH. I think Simagic smashed it. The shifters are good. I made a very clear comparison to help people make up their own minds. I don't know what your expectations are to be honest. As I say in the video, if this was an €800 cube controls wheel, I'd still be saying the same things. I think it's great. If lots of people have an opposing view to you, maybe it's you that might be wrong :D Ultimately it's great to get loads of opinions. Thanks for yours, as they will be valuable for those watching this video and reading the comments.

@Chader9 Ай бұрын

As already mentioned on the other Jardier comments, that was a pre-production unit as confirmed by Simagic. They corrected the design before production units were shipped and AFAIK, that is the only one breakage failure reported. I have also not seen pervasive light failures in any of the many Simagic FB & Discord groups. Seems those are isolated incidents and I expect Simagic and their dealers to hand them with appropriate replacements.

yep. stuff happens :D It's about how a company deals with it afterwards. If it was a common thing, it would concern me. But Jardier's a big strong guy who wasn't exactly gentle with it when trying to check for flex :D But it's good that he shared it and Simagic is aware of it.

I point out several times that it’s not forced carbon. I’m aware that Jardier broke one. But it was a pre production unit apparently. Either way, I’m sure simagic’s resellers would replace it asap if that happened.

Hey Laurence. Love your reviews and had bought a simagic alpha and Gt Neo with the p1000 hydraulic pedals. Can you please please please address why and how simagic have dramatically reduced the power supply for all bases and in turn disgustingly reduced torque on each device. I knowingly did not buy the Alpha Mini as I’ve tried the newer ones and they feel weaker than a Moza R9, but for a Moza R12 to be stronger than a 15nm Alpha is inexcusable. FFB detail is top notch but the lack of power makes this a waste of money if you’re going for a 15nm base. I’d like to have used this at around 50-65% gain to get more detail and have enough torque to go with it but I’m now running it at 80% and it’s clipping. My settings are fairly rudimentary, I have all filters always off except for the feedback frequency and feedback detail settings which I’m playing about with but this has no relevance to the power output. Holding torque is far too weak. Can’t be selling this as a 15nm device. They’ve honeyd icked everyone into buying them by having reviewers say they’re overpower to now selling them under powered. False advertising and they will lose satisfaction from all of their new customers.
