lol thanks for the comment and watching!

Yep I totally understand! Thx for watching and commenting! oh and I snooped on you and checked out your channel. Awesome stuff man! Subbed!

@ cheers man! I’ll return the favor. I agree with a lot of what is said in your video for the record. You just gotta decide what is worth your money in my opinion. I bought tracks I like IRL for series I wanted. And like another commenter said, I definitely fall into that category that competitiveness is almost a fault in my personality haha

totally respect that opinion my man. Appreciate the watch and comment!

I know that feeling for sure. turning voice chat off can do wonders in the game. Thx for watching and commenting.

IRacing came out 16 years ago bro and I never said it sucked. I said "it's not the best sim." GL.

@ you forget its live service and updates are conducted almost biweekly. GL yourself. If you like arcade games thats cool bro, just know they are designed for the common teenager who will drive the living brakes ou the car with lots of user assistance. Kind of like when baby's eat baby food. Same, but different

Heard a few mention race room and I have yet to try it. Thx for watching and I appreciate the comment!

I love that you say in your opinion which is totally fair and awesome! Appreciate the comment and thx for watching!

Thank you! Appreciate the comment as well!

You clearly didn’t watch the whole video or have the attention span of a gnat. Edit: what you see above was my initial response. And while it still stands I really think your comment deserves a better thought out response, which follows: There's just a lot to unpack here and I don't even know where to start so here goes.... I often see that for the sake of getting subscribers and views, that youtubers just turn the other cheek and become a punching bag in the comments section of their videos, and admittedly I've been there and done that. This gets further exacerbated by the fact that YOU, the commenter, more often than not can hide behind some degree of anonymity. The notion that you intro with and demean me for lacking the experience of - that every youtuber that makes sim racing videos races cars in real life is absurd. I am a sim racer, meaning I race virtual race cars and I have no aspirations of becoming a real life race car driver ever. I think while this video is completely misunderstood, and I am at fault for not making it clear enough, that your misunderstanding even further proves my point about iRacing. It's for COMPTETITVE online racing. I think it's over some people's head and definitely over yours that some people actually don't want to race seriously and competitively online. Some people don't want to pay extra to drive a Ferrari. They just want to jump in their sim and have fun. But what is fun for you might not be fun for me and what is fun for me might not be fun for the next person. Some people don't want to race just one car and just one series and they may honestly not care if they become a better sim racer because they don't follow that advice. So my point is that iRacing isn't for everyone. We all know it's for you now though.

Firstly, have you always been a douche or does that come with racing in IRL. Next. You clearly didn’t watch the whole video, I think it was clear that one of the negatives was this was the most competitive sims that translates would translate to IRL…. In conclusion you are are douche.

totally understand that! Thx for watching and commenting!

but you are not challenging yourself, nor are you actually improving on driving. at that point it is not a sim, it is just games online with your friends lol.

@ look, i know what i'm missing out, but it's not like i'm not competing, the veterans kick my ass and then tell me how they did it, we race for real, my times have improved drastically because of it, i know there's a limit to how much i can improve in a closed community but i haven't reached that point yet. i don't hate iracing, i hate their business model, i hate that you have a paywall for a decent racing experience, i hate the monopoly they have on the competitive scene and that no one is even trying to compete, i found my place on these groups, and i'm happy here for now.

@@Gas45678just because someone plays offline and doesn’t improve as much doesn’t mean it’s not a sim how dumb are you

You are missing out. Open your mind

"You don't want this!" :D

Thx for the comment and feedback. Honestly I got confused with my own msg trying to make the vid so I appreciate the honesty. My point is to save the money if you aren’t competitive!

@@s1nenomine all excellent points that I can’t disagree with. But cost aside, it seems like there is part of the sim racing community that doesn’t want to pay to drive a certain car or just doesn’t want the level of competition iRacing provides… it hovers between game and just a full blown competition. It’s those people that I’m attempting to help save money! As always thx for watching and commenting. You rock! 🤘

I love how your argument is "iRacing isn't that expensive - Sim Racing gets MUCH worse!" Jokes aside, while I do very much enjoy iRacing, you can't deny it's hella expensive. Maybe the quality justifies it, maybe it doesn't, but apart from Flight Simulators, it will be the single most expensive game you could possibly play. And with sims like ACC out there who offer two dozen cars and as many tracks in a very high quality sim for the cost of.. well, probably a single car and track in iRacing; I find it harder and harder to justify. The league structure and the driving standards are certainly one argument; not to mention it just handles far better than any other sim (even though it looks like it's from 2008, especially the UI).

@@TetraDax it is expensive but the service is worth it IF you want a competitive multiplayer racing sim. no other sim competes in terms of easy access multiplayer. But if you're looking to join a private league or just do AI racing, i wouldn't recommend it

If I want to play iRacing for a decade, and I am one to play games for a long time after purchasing them, if I buy absolutely NO extra content and they leave the price stagnant (unlikely) it would cost me almost $1200. I could buy an absolutely INSANE amount of sims for that. Even if iRacing was the best sim to ever exist in every way it isn't worth the price.

$$$$$$ :D

@@justdoittom8431 awesome! Thx for watching and commenting!

You’re welcome! Thx for watching and commenting! 😊

Oh no! Did they ever work? If not, do you have a power supply for them. It’s a little confusing but if you have them plugged into simagic pedals you STILL need the power supply to give them the extra juice they need to function. Hope this helps!

Thank you!

Thank you! What’s your fav print for your rig?

@@ss0op Wow that's a tough call. I also did the RGB matrix flag panel which I like, custom mounts for shifters and handbrake, keyboard mount, tablet mount, QR connector mount for my spare Simagic rim, StreamDeck mount, an F1 tyre stack beer holder and even printed some short sections of "aluminium" profile. Think my fav would be when I got the carbon fibre effect build sheet for the printer and made a custom H gate cover for my shifter and also some little shelves to put my phone on etc. Who doesn't like a little carbon fibre :)

​​⁠great stuff! There are so many options! Glad to see I’m not the only one taking advantage of it! Thx for watching and commenting! 😊

@@voided76 time will tell! Thx for watching and the comment!

Haha glad I’m not the only one!

Now you do! Thx for watching and for the comment!

@ And it’s glorious !! It’s so much better than the previous setup no matter how much you mess with the old settings.

Me either! Thx for the comment and watching!

No problem! Glad it helped you out! Thx for watching and commenting!

@@macrissss I am not positive but I don’t think you’ll be able to plug bass shakers into the simagic hpr control box. I think you’ll have to have both an amp sound card for bass shakers and hpr control box for hprs. Lmk if you find out otherwise. GL! Thank for watching and for the comment!

​@@ss0op Yeah, it might be stretching too far... but the concept is the same for both devices and even the frequency range seems to match, but the impedance and load of bass shakers vs. HPR might differ and the control box might not work at all or works poorly with bass shakers. If only someone already owning both would be willing to test this concept so I would get out easy. 🙂

​​⁠I WILL be doing a video about adding bass shakers down the road… but I can’t swing it financially right now!

FYI, no dice unfortunately! I managed to get one control box, HPR and 2x bass shakers and did some testing. Chat GPT suggested that I can roughly estimate the impedance by measuring the resistance of the shakers or HPR, which I did: * TT-25 shaker was 8ohm * BTS-2 shaker was 4ohm * HPR was 26ohm So quite a big difference, but I decided to try it out anyway... and it actually seemed to work, but when I got to adjusting the effects via simhub and modified the gain, I noticed that the shakers where actually strongest when the gain was 1% and weakest when it was 100%. My best guess is that the control box amp has somekind of over-current protection which got triggered on higher gains causing it to lower the output power. Ordered a separate nobsound NS-10G usb soundcard amp for the shakers to get things working.

@@macrisssswell it was worth a shot! Thx for the update!

Of course! Glad it helped out! Thx for the comment and for watching!

Ha you’re the second one that’s pointed that out. Guess I read more than I talk. 😉

@ made for a good lol plus it’s getting people to engage which is good for the algorithm

@ lol. You say potato… I say potato… doesn’t work in text format 🤣🤣 checked your channel out and it looks awesome!

@@ss0op haha I got ya and appreciate that bro

I wouldn’t either. Unless I’m mistaken I don’t think I ever did!

@@KevinVanHumbeeck me too! The pricing will be key. If the pricing is in line with simucube active pedals then I’m out.

you're definitely right! I guess I'm just used to it now.

this might be my next move! :)

Thanks for the comment and watching! The P500s are their budget friendly pedal option. I don't know much about them except that they exist! -- www.apexsimracing.com/collections/simagic/products/simagic-p500-pedal-set?ref=3i2nrme3

Thank you!

Makes sense to me. I’d like to give it a try! If I was in Orange County Choppers I’m not getting any royalty checks!!! 🤣 thanks for watching and for the comment!

@@ss0op Your crazy matches my mental illness you Thor looking you. Joking aside, reach out to Simnet, they might hook you up for a review, they even use whatsapp I kid you not.

Thank you! I appreciate the support!

@@ss0op Kids like you teach this old guy quite a bit! Keep it up!

www.advancedsimracing.com/products/asr-4-open-face - here is a link to my rig. I believe it used to be an option to either get a flat regular steel pedal deck or the pedal deck/heel rest combo that I have in the video - it also used to be a separate product they sold. If you are interested in it you can contact Advanced Sim Racing. They are super nice and helpful and may be able to set you up with the pedal setup even if it isn't listed on their website. Thanks for the comment and for watching!

@@ss0op Great stuff, thanks again man appreciate the reply!

Excellent idea! I would love to try the long throttle pedal! Thanks for the comment!

@@ss0op i picked mine up from sim-hq down in florida, adam lz's sim company. they stock lots of simagic products in-house. sim-motion out of washington is also another great retailer.

Luckily, I haven't had to find out but I don't doubt that. For me, Advanced Sim Racing is top of the class when it comes to sim racing customer service!

...and just barely more expensive too. Good suggestion for those that don't like the p1000. I will look into them further for sure. Thanks for the comment!

gOt it

www.thingiverse.com/thing:6652246 - there is the stl... hopefully that works for you. I don't have the files in 3mf format. Thanks for the comment!

@@ss0op ​ Haha those seemed familiar ;) My design, I am glad you like it ;) When I was uploading it to thingieverse I was sure noone will even download it. You can put it to the video description if you want.

Awesome! I definitely DID download it and as you can see someone specifically asked for them in the comments. Thanks for designing. Will definitely add to the description!

@@henkvanbeusekom5275 you’re welcome! Thanks for watching and for the comment!

@@scottgreen5959 I’d put a message out on the simagic discord. I’d be willing to bet someone has them sitting around and would be willing to part with them! GL!

@@scottgreen5959 you will definitely need bolts to install! I don’t know exactly which ones but I think m5 or m6 will work on a wheel stand along with matching nuts and maybe some oversized washers to compensate for any incorrect measurements on the mounting holes. I’m about to do a video on p1000s a year later and I have a lot to say about the pedals on a wheel stand… interested to see your thoughts after install!

@ your a life saver mate, appreciate it👍. You’ve earned my sub!!!

They do! It’s not the LED one… believe that’s extra.

@@ss0op awesome! Thank you for replying. You earned another subscriber 😁 I’ve been torn between buying the p1000’s or the p1000i’s (inverted) I know you can by the inversion kit for the regular p1000’s but it’s cheaper by about $120 if you buy the inverted off the bat vs upgrading. BUT- the inverted cannot be changed to non inverted (at least not without a little fabrication) so…. Decisions decisions… I think I’ll enjoy the inverted more but I don’t want to risk hating them then not being able to change them. What are your thoughts? I’m leaning towards buying the regular and then potentially the inversion kit (even if it’s more money) adjust to be safe.

@ ​​⁠appreciate the sub! I’ll be honest that I went through the same dilemma when I purchased. After having the pedals for almost a year now I can tell you that I don’t care to invert them. Not that it wouldn’t be cool or I’d hate it… it just isn’t a priority cause I want other things for the sim rig and have limited funds! I need things like a 5080 and triples!
