  • This HOLDING torque not peak torque IS a lot higher 25-30nm maybe….
    Force 15.4kg…. Centre of wheel to force point is 12.4cm so that equals 18.7 NM
    15.45 x 9.81 x 0.124 = 18.8 NM

      Do it dont think about it. Just do it. Even me I own a new dd+ well come to find out I was having a few issues with my alpha just because of me. Was my fault and now I went back to it dialed everything in and omg it's perfect. I even prefer it over the dd+ so yeah go for it and enjoy. It will blow your mind. No more rubbing sounds either or friction. 😊

      @Wilayaat it was the interpelation and the smoothness setting. I turned interpelation up and smoothness down so I found that balance and the detail just popped off the game. Amazing stuff. Interpelation works different on the simagic compared to dd+ had to lower it on the dd+ the INT setting. So yeah the two brands use it differently.

      It never went below 15kg…. That was me letting the wheel return because I let the force off.
      It held above 15kg until I get tired. I didn’t want to damage it by doing experiments for hours on end.
      But easily 10-15 mins at 15kg holding possible. Maybe more but i didn’t want to due science experiments for RUclips and if anything happeneds then my fault and RUclips don’t buy me a new one.

      @@Max__apex yep! Remember I hit you up on your other video told you I found out my alpha had issues and it was also settings. Didn't realize how good it was until I got it fixed. So I wasnt even getting the right experience. Now I am! I ordered the ultimate tbh for my pc rig it's def not needed but I'm happy with it and my dd+ will be back up. So I'm hype af and yeah def blown away by simagic.
      I play acc, f1 2023 which is what I call my fun title. It's just purely fun and really enjoyable. F1 2024 is coming out the 1st also! So that's cool. I also play OG AC. And of course iracing. Rf2 and raceroom are pretty good also.
      Btw the dd+ is still incredible for something from fanatec. But there is this feeling to simagic this flowy feel that they can't match. It's because fanatec has like always dampening on even when it's off its a dampening they have built in with even turning all settings off so it has this more drag feel to it
      Didn't realize how far simagic software has come. It's so so good it's even better then it was 8 months ago which I'm shocked by how much detail I'm getting out of the ultimate.

    This test can be useful about knowing how powerful the motor is, but it does not guarantee that games can send this much torque. Max torque from the games can just be limited to 15nm via software.
    I compared my Moza R9 to an Alpha Mini v3 and if I increase the game FFB by 11% with Moza R9 it felt similar to the Mini in terms of power (with more clipping of course). So 9nm vs 10nm looks valid for those.

    • @Max__apex
      @Max__apex  Месяц назад

      I think the games clips on big forces and maximum force is send to the wheel….. I can confirm max torque is too much power. And very violent. Mini power review coming out.
      I have tried 8-9nm bases and the mini power is a lot more.
      In fact a lot of RUclipsrs said Mini beats the r12 easily in power so adding it all up I think Mini is perfect base. Alpha is for fun and laughs.
      Ultimate is stupid too buy. Same ffb as mini but more top end

    • @oskansavli
      @oskansavli Месяц назад

      @@Max__apex Yeah I've seen those R12 comparisons and thought the Mini would be enough for me but it wasn't as strong as I hoped (I'm replacing with Alpha). I mean if it feels stronger than R12 then it should feel much stronger than R9 right? But that was not the case. Dan Suzuki was the one who said that and the problem is he is not using the latest v3 version of the Mini in his review. Latest Mini is a bit smaller and looks different at the edges. So my theory is Mini is limited to 10nm now either by the software or hardware.

    This is about right, if based going off of feel too. Simagic themselves say they don't really conform to any measurement method as there is no standard of measurement for this type of application.
    The Alpha Mini for example is often rated as being or feeling stronger than a Moza R12, which is rated at 12nm. Which if measured in this way, I'm guess it'll come to 12-13nm of torque (if given same amount of overhead as in this test with Alpha). That would make sense as to why it feels stronger than an R12.

      Man force in a given direction is just that. It doesn’t matter in which direction it’s measured. This is basic physics. There is some margin for error in this method because the force measured is only accurate if the force is measured perpendicular to the line drawn between the center point and measurement point. Also the distance between the centre of the motor and measurement point must be precisely measured for an accurate force to be calculated. all of this appears to have been done to a relatively good degree by the OP that the measure is likely accurate to at least +/- 5% accuracy. Not perfect, but an interesting test nonetheless.
