Hi everyone. At this moment, AFAIK, this device won't support any other wheelbase or pedals that are not from SIMAGIC or connected through the SIMAGIC wheelbase. If you heard anything different, please leave a comment and I'll investigate.
This sounds like it is exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you DGR! Just some feedback to consider on the video, I upped the playback speed to 1.25x and could barely notice any audio distortion. If you have the software to speed up your playback before you upload, this might help reduce the length of your video. Anyway, great information, thanks again!
Hows the latency? I see the wheel reacting slower than your movement. Did you had any trouble around that? Also, you feel I can use simagic haptics with sigma attached to PS5 ? Really wanted to do that and attach it onto my V3 pedals. And great job on the video, very much needed
Latency is not great. You approximately 160ms delay which is not ideal but it’s an option in case you don’t want to buy another wheel just for your console.
Hi DGR, think you might need a sticky comment at the top to state that the Sigma Cortex adapter is exclusively for Simagic hardware and no other hardware is supported as stated on the Sigma website.
Hi there. Sorry for the delayed response. This past weekend it was very busy with some charity racing events. I'm using the P2000 from Simagic. They are great. The Simagic ecosystem allows you to use pedals from other manufactures like Thrustmaster and Logitech. They have an adaptor that converts those pedals to be used with their wheel base. They also just released GT Neo, this is their first wheel rim that is compatible with other wheelbases natively and that thing looks amazing. You can get Simagic products at extremesimracing.com/wjm with a 5% discount.
It should, by connecting the pedals directly to your PC. You don't need to connect them to the device. Only insignificant downside of this is have to keep two programs open to manage each device which might be an issue if you have low RAM memory available.
Hi there. I tested and the haptic motors won’t work with Sigma. However, I’m controlling my HPRs using Simhub. Having that said, it’s possible to use a PC with Simhub collecting telemetry from PS5 to possibly activate them but I didn’t test this yet.
@daddysgottarace what games did you try? my fanatec v3 haptic motors would rumble in ACC but not in other games like GT7 or dirt so that is a shame the simagic haptics won't rumble
for some reason my brake and clutch don't register and my throttle stays at a constant 100%. Do you know a fix for this? It's connected to the sigma cortex and ps5
Hi great video! I have an Alpha Mini with GT4 Wheel and would also be interested in it, but I have Fanatec CLS Elite V2 pedales. Can you confirm if it's possible to combine a Simagic Wheel Base with Fanatec Pedales to the Sigma and the PS5?
I'm not sure that's possible. Usually the Fanatec hardware is controled by the base they have connected to the console. On a PC, that would work, but I'm afraid that's not the case on a console. The Sigma converter works exclusively for Simagic hardware AFAIK.
Hi sorry for the delay. I tried to test other hardware but it's pretty much for Simagic. You need to connect the pedals through the Simagic wheelbase, too. I tried connecting the pedals directly to Sigma and that didn't work.
Great info man ! So when i use sigma to attach it for ps5 what option i need to use for my steering in gt7 ? Or i don't need to choose any because of the sigma module ?
@@thereaper63 Yes, the power information coming from the PS will be interpolated and amplified. Having that said, be careful because it can become way too strong if you have an Alpha or Alpha U or even with the Alpha Mini. After selecting that, you may need to adjust the control sensitivity in the game to your taste. Some controls not available in GT7 will be available in the Sigma interface to add more realism, like inertia or mechanical grip. Play with those controls until you find what you like.
I know see that some say it needs to calibrate simagic pedals in order to work properly so i guess i need to connect to a pc in order to do that but what about when the disconnect in order to use them on ps5 ?@@daddysgottarace
i wish i could get my p1000 to work with my DD pro wheel base on console using the sigma adapter :( console proprietary restrictions are so lame and anti consumer
Yeah, it's really a bummer that console makers mandate the manufactures to include expensive licensing just to work on their platforms. That's one of the reasons why I migrated to a PC setup and I don't regret it at all. The level of immersion is insane. But I still play GT7 from time to time just for fun.
@@daddysgottarace exactly the same here. wished I switched over sooner and my money will go way farther now. sadly I was a driving coach in an amazing GT7 community so will miss that a lot.
Same here. It took some time but I was able to do some adjustments that worked on PlayStation. The force is really strong. But you need to be careful it doesn’t peak too much or Sigma might disconnect.
Hey, I'm new to sim racing and I just got a Simagic setup with Sigma Cortex to use with my PS5 and GT7. The wheel base, pedals, and shifter are all recognized by the Sim Pro Manager 2 on my PC, and I've updated the Sigma to beta 1.1.5. But for some reason, the PS5 isn't recognizing pedals and shifter only steering and Acceleration is always on max in gt7 calibration settings and on game without me pressing Any ideas? Thank you guys
Are you connecting the pedals to the wheel base or directly to the sigma? I think it doesn't work if you connect them to the Sigma. It has to be through the base. Same for the shifter. Also, you need to select the G29 Wheel on the GT7 as the wheelbase. Maybe that will help.
You are right pedals had to connect through the base and now works but shifter is not because there's only one canbus port on base I tried using usb 3.2 hub to connect both but it does not work at all
Hey I got the Alpha mini w/GTS and 2000 pedals. I got the wheel working with Sigma, but not the pedals. Itried plugging the USB into the wheelbase and then the Sigma, but neither worked.
@@bartongalambos3869 Connect the pedals directly to the PC and open Simpro manager. Go to the update screen and it may show if your pedals need an update. For Sigma, go to their website and download the latest firmware. Connect it directly to a PC and run the update application
I just got a simagic gt1 Wheel and simagic p1000i pedals. I cannot get them to work on the ps5. I have the sigma converter, that shows they are connected. They definately work because i can see them on my pc in the app. My ps5 just refuses to see them. Im not that tech savy so im sure the issue will be obvious to some but i have no idea how to get them to work.
I had a similar issue. What solved it was to upgrade the firmware on the Sigma. Try doing that. Go to their website to download the update. Connect the sigma to a laptop or pc and upgrade its firmware. After that it should be plug and play.
@@daddysgottarace that's exactly what it was and it fixed it. Feel silly for not realising it. When I plugged the pedals and wheel in they updated on the firmware so I thought that was it. Didn't realise the sigma also needed updating. Thanks.
I know Simagic has an adapter for Thrustmaster that I think you could use if connected to a Simagic wheelbase. But the Fanated wheelbase is not supported AFAIK.
No intention to show a setup in this video. It was just to show how it works. I totally had to dial down from the default settings to have a good controller sensitivity and be comfortable with the wheel torque. Adjusting the mechanical grip was the trickiest part as GT7 doesn't work well with that but I think I found a good setting. Maybe I should do a video about that.
Absolute joke, yea it works for now.... until Sony get greedy. Alot of money to fork out for a console player especially considering the risk as I have 0 intention of getting a PC. Why can't we just get a decent wheel for ps5 that doesn't cost the earth?!
Fanatec has an interesting proposition for consoles with the DD series. You can get a decent direct drive wheel for your console for less than $600. In the past any DD with the wheel rim would cost over $1000. I guess the belt system is set for end of life and direct drive wheels will become the standard which will lower prices. What I love about the Simagic ecosystem is that it's an impressive level of detail, compared to the high-end products like Simucube, but for a much better price range.

That’s a great tip. I need to make my videos shorter. I’ll try that next time.

Thanks for the tip. I'll do that.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Does this need a Simagic wheelbase to connect to PS5, or can I use to connect just the pedals?
It requires the base unfortunately. I think they are working on a firmware update to connect individual devices.
what pedals are you using? is it a must to have the eco system from same brand or i can use different pedal / wheel base?

Wondering if heusinkveld pedals will work on this device. Thanks for a great informational video

Thanks for the video, mate! Any chance you know if this works with the haptic reactor simagic has for the p1000 series of pedals?
Hi there. I just got my haptic motors for the pedals. I'm going to test that and let you know.
@@daddysgottarace Hell yeah! Thank you so much, mate! Looking forward to it.

Hi there. The Sigma was built based on a G29 configuration so you can choose that wheel on GT7
Great but it will deliver the full power with that option?@@daddysgottarace

What is that button box on the right? I havn't seen one with a screen like that.
Sorry for the delayed response. I’ve been busy. They bb is a Racebox. They have several models. That’s a GTE replica.
How is the force feedback with Sigma? I really want to set up with sim with Xbox and want to use the Simagic gear
I just got an alpha mini and it's the best ffb I've felt by far. took so long to make good settings tho
