Simucube ActivePedal Review from a Race Car Driver
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- These pedals are a complete game changer. Here are my initial thoughts and walk through of the new Simucube ActivePedals. These pedals won’t magically give you the all knowing understanding of how to brake correctly. You still need to know what you’re doing. It just makes the whole process a lot easier.

Very rare to have someone who drives pro in real life and sim have such a quality channel. Thanks for all the info and feedback🙏🏽. A lot of us simmers who haven’t driven a real race car before are always left wondering which settings/ adjustments are the most accurate in the real world
Thank you so much for the nice words. I will always give you an honest opinion of whatever I’m doing. If it’s not good enough, I will work with whoever I am partnered up with to ensure that it is up to my standards. We will be sharing some profiles that I have created to simulate prototypes, single seaters and GT.
Agree. I rely on people like Daniel to give accurate and critical feedback to people like Simucube and iRacing. I have never raced in real life and never will, so I'm wanting the most realistic experience I can get at my simulator. Cheers.
He is partially paying.for his racing via RUclips channel
These things are nuts. I sure hope it becomes the future of sim racing pedals with other companies developing the technology so it can become more affordable. When I got into sim racing in 2016 I never would have imagined direct drive technology would be where it is today. Although I have a SC2 Pro there are some very affordable direct drive wheels on the market now.
I’m sure the others will attempt similar concepts.
I think it's like the first mass market direct drive wheel. Now look how long it take to bring some decent 'budget' options to the market.
@@danielmoradjust as you said, now Moza is about to release its own version. I can't wait to see how you will find them.
Stunning piece of kit. Seems like it was only five minutes ago Simucube announced they were in development! Good to hear they live up to expectations. Too bad I'd have to sell internal organs to afford the upgrade 😂
They’re amazing. I’m lucky to have them.
@@danielmorad nah mate, you earned them 👍
I just watched a 18 minute video of a product I wont be able to buy anyways 😂
Hahhaa that’s too funny. Thanks for watching. You never know, you might have them one day.
@@danielmorad I respect your position, but I disagree that there's anything funny about hus comment. I love the innovation that simucube is bringing to the table here, but the pricing is ridiculous. There's just no soft way of putting it. I for one can afford and justify a pro wheelbase (currently have a DD2 & considering the switxh), but the pedal price is absurd. I think simucube has simply overestimated the market. I run with a small group of relatively hardcore racers and even the most wealthy of us can't justify the pricepoint. They've priced this product for people that don't even consider "value" and cost isn't even a concern. These pedals could be double and it wouldn't hurt sales because these buyers don't need or care to consider it. You're a good ambassador for a quality company so I hope you're willing to tell your reps there's a good chance they've done little more than provide a solid concept for somebody else to copy at a reasonable cost.
@@Lessenjr Remember the first DDs and where we are now? Its takes time. Innovation does cost. Other brands will copy and the price will go down. We have seen it already once, we will see it a second time. Just matter of how long till then. A couple of years maybe.
Really awesome insight. Watching these videos reminds me of watching top gear as a kid, drooling over beautiful cars that will always be WAY out of my budget lol.
You should never say never. Maybe one day, these could be yours.
This is so dope!! Recently got into the sim game since coming home from overseas. I’m definitely saving up to grab these. Great video as always!!!
Thanks so much! They’re definitely worth it. I think the pedals speak for themselves.
This is absolutely fantastic. Not only the innovation but the ease of use. I'd love to try this one day 😊
They’re definitely worth a try! Not sure how or where, but you need to give them a go
amazing video! You are a top notch ambassador any brand would love to have, not only are you a great person, but your media content is out of this world.
Wow Stu! You’re a nice fish :) haha
17:00 "You can literally make it whatever you want" The question is, can it simulate My Summer Car with a rusty, bending firewall and bleeding brakes? :D
Honestly amazed how far Simucube guys have gotten since first Ioni & Argon wheels. Nice job!
Btw, the input type thing comes from real physics. Throttle is (was) controlled by opening the airway via cable, so it's position-controlled. Whereas braking happens when pads are pushed against disc; there is elasticity here and there and everywhere, but basic physics say the braking force is a friction force that depends on friction coeffiecent and pressure, and since hydraulics don't compress much, it's about the force. That's why braking muscle memory is all about force.
They’re awesome.
Dammit more money on the rig, hope their worth it! Just wondering if you had a play around using one as a clutch - would love to know if the clutch is able to nail the feeling of pushing through a pressure plate 🤔
I haven’t tried it as a clutch it, but that’s a really good idea. I can easily set it up as a clutch and test it out. Maybe I do that on my twitch stream
I’d like to see a follow up vid w clutch setup. Big part of my sim time I’m doing heel toe.
Great vid. Will you be sharing your profiles to the active pedal community?
Definitely. We’re already on top of that. I’ll have GT3 and GT4 pedal setups. Very similar experience but the GT4 brake is much softer.
As a Simucube brand ambassador, I understand if you can't answer this honestly - but in your opinion is it worth the $2000+ to have one of these as a throttle pedal? I totally understand the appeal of having one as a a brake, but the value proposition for the throttle is a bit more difficult. I suspect this is why Simucube just very recently came out with a much more affordable throttle pedal...
In my opinion, it’s cool to have it but isn’t something that will gain you time. I have yet to try their passive throttle but that could be a cool option. The brake is what stands out the most to me. If I had the budget for it, I’d do both… if its tight and I have the think about it, go for one. Hope that answers well.
Have to sell an organ or two to afford a set of those. Purchased some used Heusinkveld Ultimates. They do the job. Might get some rumble motors when I have some cash after paying sky rocketing utility bills.
this video was the final deciding factor in buying my simucube pedal! I can't wait! awesome video!
You’re going to enjoy them Tevon!!
Daniel coming here and smashing the ideas of how ABS is used in braking. I think it's interesting that even the commentators during the races have said you go fully into ABS too, but maybe they meant what you're saying where you do hit ABS but then come back out of it. Seems like everyone thinks you ride out the ABS as long as possible and you're saying not to do that. I wonder how this will translate in ACC where Aries from Kunos has even said you ride out the ABS until you start trail braking. I'm going to have to try what you're saying later and see how it feels, I'm super interested now that you only use it as a signal to know when to back off a little bit and ride it out at threshold.
Also curious about trying that logarithmic type of curve, I've always used both my pedals at linear.
And finally those pedals are way more complex than I ever thought they'd be. Expensive as hell, but really cool how you can literally adjust every aspect from your mouse and not have to take them apart to switch out parts and pieces. I'm using the Asetek Invicta pedals and it really would be cool to change the brake pedal distance for street cars, etc., instead of always being at 30mm. I love the pedals, but they're super race oriented and you're committed to that platform.
Thanks man. Happy to share my feedback on everything.
Nice Review! I love seeing all of these new technologies that are coming out. I just recently became a direct drive wheelbase owner last year. That really changed things for me, coming from the Fanatec CSW V2. I'm also on Heusinkveld Sprints, which changed the game even more than direct drive. The abilities of these look insane. These could be the end game pedals for many of us. The unfortunate truth is that most of us can't spend that much money on something like this. Maybe in the future, tech like this will become a little more affordable.
Thanks a lot. I’m sure the technology will trickle down.
These look amazing but €6.5k for a 3-pedal set is breathtaking.
I'm trying to imagine how that purchase conversation would go with the wife 😂😅
You would be happy… but you’d also need to balance out the gifts lol
@@danielmorad 🤣🤣😬
Just say you bought it for her .... my wife has 13 fishing rods already. Works every time. 😂😂
@@shawndreyer2638 🤣🤣
Hello Daniel. Great review! So far, it's most detailed, especislly of software. I think the purchase of ActivePedal definitely makes the sense for brake pedal. For throttle it would be nice. But for clutch I think it will be wastefully... Because clutch is just the clutch. Btw, not so many race cars use 3 pedals, mostly road cars, vintage cars, old rally cars. And for these particular needs would be great to have "simplified" and cheaper, but with similar style version of clutch simucube pedal.
P.S. I made some reserch about pedals dimensions. ActivePedal hight is 205-225mm. Simagic 258mm. Heusinkveld 252-278mm. Why did Simucube make ActivePedal so short...?
So great product and and so annoying limitation...😢
There will be additional accessories for the pedals to change the dimensions for each person driving. I am personally using a hand clutch, so I enjoy my two pedal setup
@@danielmorad Thanks for the answer, Daniel.
Would be really cool if these race car drivers would share the setups. For me, and i'm guessing a lot of other guys/girls out there, it is just guessing. I have never bin and probably never will be in a F1 car or GT3 car. So how would I know that my peddals feel like the real car?
I want to simulate something I will never drive, but how do I know I am actually feeling what the real thing feels like?
For now I will just use settings that make my driving better instead of what is more realistic, since I have 0 refference to the real thing.
Like I said, I would love to see some profiles from the real drivers instead of the e-sport drivers. Maybe as basic settings with the product? Then if the brake is to stiff the gamer can always tune it down, but then at least you know what it is "suposed" to feel like.
Well, you’ve come to the right place. My profiles are shared online :). Check out the other videos for wheel settings too :)
Thanks for the detailed review. Looking forward to trying out your settings in a few weeks. Hopefully some of that skill is included.
These pedals come with built in skill haha. Enjoy them! Profiles will be available directly through Simucube.
Was mounting the Simcube pedal plate pretty straightforward to the ASR chassis?
It was a breeeeeze. No problem at all. Just make sure all the screws are tight.
@@danielmorad I just ordered a set. Do you think the baseplate is worth having or should I be good just mounting to my ASR Pro rig?
Yeah nice review for real race car driver, Simucube ambassador or who ever is rich enough to own them. I’m here as a regular simracer Who wish one day Simucube will make an affordable model directed to us.😂
It’s a beautiful piece of engineering and premium quality product. They are sold out for the first production so it seems to be okay. They’re fantastic pedals man.
Hi Daniel, I'm stocked with the quality and how detailed you explained the pedals, I was like no way a pedal could cost $2000, but now I understand why, since you raced real gt3 and gt4, can you share your simucube and iracing wheel settings?
That’s amazing to hear. There’s definitely a good reason why they are priced at this point.
$2,300 for 1 pedal.... C'mon man, I get your getting paid (your an ambassador). The average person cant justify spending this much. The real life car parts dont even cost this much.
This is a premium product with premium results. I totally respect that not everybody can afford them. You can always set a goal to get there one day! You have the option in your hands. :)
Hi Daniel
Love this quality and like other mentioned, you’re back ground of racing gives us another vision on the products. Thanks for that!
Some video ideas i would love to watch:
- active clutch setup
- gameplay with pedals close up
- a real laptime compared with a sim laptime
- the preparation before a race (simday, practice day, raceday)
I can’t imagine how many hours it takes to make these videos on this quality lvl but you stand out right from the start. And got me curious about what/when the next one is.
I think plenty of us want these but when price is €2380 for 1 and €4388 a set, the question came would this be possible to set this up with a non active gas pedal?
Grtz belgium
Thanks a lot!! The ideas are amazing! Already took a screen shot of them. Thank you for the awesome ideas.
In terms of pedal setup, it is possible to put a passive throttle pedal alongside the active brake pedal. If you check the Simucube social posts, they share that it’s possible now to adapt other throttle pedals with the brake.
I can’t share more on this at the moment but that’s the public information for now :)
All I wanted was a recent😎
They’re awesome man.
Each video gets better and better. Keep it up 👍
Thanks man. Getting more comfortable with it as we go.
Those look incredible! Not going to work for GT7 on PS5 though! LOL.
Definitely not. Not even needed for that game though 😀.
Great video man. Very well explained and as someone who has a SC 2 Pro I would love to have those but I know they are pretty expensive.
What you said about the ABS part is pretty interesting. I always say iRacing feels the most realistic to me even though I have no GT experience but I’ve driven some fast cars on track at the limit.
We were always told that iRacing got it wrong and ACC is more realistic in mashing the brakes all the way down and leaving the ABS to handle it. Your point is very interesting and I hope a lot of people hear this. Thanks again keep it up. Awesome content
They are quite expensive, but they are very good obviously.
If you ever want to know more about the correct braking technique, you can always listen to my live streams on twitch. You can engage in the chat and I can show you proper and improper technique.
Yea, I was really interested to hear these comments about braking technique using ABS in real life versus a sim. I guess with the latest iracing GT3 update you follow the technique Daniel mentioned where you want the ABS to just start to trigger under threshold braking?
Mind blowing engineering. Super cool for a pro-teams. Only flaw - holes in pedal plates, instead of bumps for grip :)
And fact that average sim-racers can get away with just a buzz-motor on cell-brake pedal to catch that ABS feedback. No empty pedal (boiled brake fluid and other failures).
Hello Daniel, can you show you the pedals and how you attached the pedal tray to the rig?
I can show that on m’y love stream on twitch :) or join the discord
Can you ask them to add the ability to manually enter values for ALL of the settings that use sliders for adjustment in the software UI. Speaking from experience, when you can adjust something to 2 decimal places trying to get the precise values that you want with a slider is not the best way to do it.
That’s a great suggestion and I will definitely pass that info along.
@Jardier whens the review on @Simicube pedals incoming?
Need to see that!
I hope we will see competition in this kind of pedals so that the price will fall a little bit to more realistic pricing
The material used is what makes this pedal so expensive.
More people need to watch this, and extrapolate the data from the experience Daniel is sharing with sim racers. Commenting for the algorithm!
Thanks Jon!! Haha that’s awesome.
Do you find the throttle to be valuable, or just the brake? What do you experience with the throttle that gives you real life immersion? Thx
At first, I felt like the throttle was overkill. As we fine-tuned the settings, it really became a massive benefit. I could build the exact pedal set that I wanted. The feedback of the pedal is 100% dialled in to feel like my real race car.
@@danielmorad I also have dbox (and the ASR rig). Do you feel they are a good combo vs active pedal being overkill given dbox motion and haptics? If a good combo, what is the net add benefit. As I have per-ordered these, thanks for your thoughts.
great review. but did the pedals make you faster? if yes how much?
I would say that, for me, nothing will make me faster on a single lap, because when I dial it in, I can hit all my markers. At the end of the day, they do not give you extra grip in the software. What I can say is that my race pace has improved drastically, and, I have felt that being in the front or winning races has come a lot easier now. I find that I’m not overheating my tires or making as many mistakes because I’m way more precise.
Amazing pedals. Great video! (Colour correction looks good too :)
Haha that’s awesome. We spoke about that. Thanks again for your in depth feedback on it. Super helpful Jeremy.
Great review. They should be the best looking at the price! $11,007 NZ for the 3 pedal setup, lol to much for my budget, that is for sure.
I think it's absolutely ridiculous...
Something to aspire towards. But they’re awesome man! And only getting better with software updates.
@@matthewbeale8570 price is ridiculous imo also. Early adoption prices
Great insight into the SW interface, but I'd really like to learn more about the pedal tray. Does Simucube make them? Wil it be for sale on their website?
Yes it’s all for sale :) you can check my affiliate links as well for discounts. :)
You may have already said but I might have missed it what Sim platform do you play on Assetto Corsa or I racing for GT3
I’m running iRacing :)
Question Daniel: If the ABS kicks in surely the motor is then pushing back on to your foot actually increasing input force on the loadcell as it hits the foot adding more brake pressure, like having positive input spikes on the brake trace rather the drops like a real ABS system. Or is there something to stop that happening?
Fairly sure ABS acts after the piston. In a sim it'd be a purely software thing, not hardware. You won't be increasing pressure even if you get small spikes.
what was that traction control setting?? can it be used to help you with the gaz pedal to get the starting starts and the first laps in ?
That’s a really good question. I don’t have enough experience with it yet. It’s something I’ve never even tested. That’s next on my list. I was always looking at things I can use which would simulate realism for me. The traction control setting wasn’t something that I was super interested in but it could be a huge advantage if tuned correctly.
@@danielmorad exactly i know that you are more into simulate the real conditions of the car and the behavior..but for me is not about simulate the real thing of course i do care about the real thing but when i am sim racing i am more about the competitive aspect so i don’t care if i use something that is not in the real thing ..for example i do race in kart kz series in real life but my sim journey is a completely different to me and i don’t mix those two ..i was doing back when i started sim racing but i was going downhill from the real thing so i do race in the sim for fun and of course things that i would never be able to race in the real life so i don’t really care what is in the real thing i do care about using my knowledge and everything that is available in the market that will help me get better and better.. and real teams if they didn’t had the rules and and they had something that gave them the advantage they was going to jump on it in a heartbeat so i am using the same strategy when it comes down to sim and trying to get competitive with any means necessary while of course avoiding the cheating way . thanks in advance i would live for you to make a video about the tc !
Excellent information with flawless delivery. Thank you
You're very welcome!
he will let you know that he is a pro racing driver lol
Damn right 😝
Does the pedal have varying resistance based on the features of the track itself? For example braking uphill or downhill or coming to the corner at different speeds , is their varied resistance?
incredible , thank for the review
My pleasure. Hope it was enough detail. They’re so powerful.
real FFB doesn't help ME I am not in a real car I need these extra can effects sorry but it doesn't have to be authentic with me
can you add third pedal in this baseplate?
Yes you can.
well time to start saving up money for these babies
It’ll be money well spent
@@danielmorad i hope so my current pedals only have 65kg of force and I find it to be too little for me to accurately trail off the brake
motorized = one more thing to break.
They seem pretty durable to me. Much more durable than elastomers that wear out.
talking about sims
how much fiction does the real steering wheel have??? because real road car have fiction when turning the wheel.
but I’m using Moza R5 and reviewer always say
- zero damper
- zero fiction
to make the wheel as responsive as possible but I don’t think that feel very real.
can you make a guide to tuning the wheel as close as possible to the real thing?
That’s not right. We definitely have “friction”. It’s not weightless. I’ll actually be doing a full settings video soon. I’ll go through settings next time on stream. Are you on my twitch already?
@@danielmorad I don’t use twitch since I don’t really have much time. It would be nice if you could posted a tight version of how to do a true to life setup here
looks like a ballscrew linear motor.
That’s exactly what it is
The price of these are going to be insane. Just when Sim racing starts to have reasonable prices, they drop something like this to drive it back up.
I mean, you don’t NEED to buy this. It’s just available if you choose to want them. It doesn’t give you more grip, just a nicer driving experience and more natural pedal response :)
I would love to have one of these for my brake pedal but a little to much outta my price range. 😢
Always something to shoot towards in the future. :)
Let me have them please @Daniel Morad ambassador? :')
Great review. I am considering the brake pedal. I race a Radical SR 10. Do you have a view on how valuable the brake would be for a non-abs car? Do you know of anyone (including Simucube) that provides a profile based off the actual brake specs of the radical? I would be looking to accurately duplicate that as opposed to going by feel.
Quick question...I tried the profile that you contributed, Daniel. I assume that it's trying to replicate the feel of the Merc. I haven't driven one of those but I have driven other GT4's (BMW, Cayman and Vantage for example). To me it feels like the brake travel is quite long in the profile...is that something unique to the Merc in your experience?? I don't really remember the other unboosted brake cars having anything like that amount of travel for "full deflection" input. I kind of like it but it seems...unusual(?).
Every race car I’ve driven has a long pedal like that. Even the prototype cars have a longer pedal than you would imagine.
Nice review! the damper on brake return is almost cheating lol will definitely make people with bad technique faster in sim but wouldn't help with real world training.
There’s a reasonable amount of damping effect in real life. That’s why I put around 10% or so. It feels more natural. It takes time for the pads to release off the rotors.
Hi Daniel, awesome vid :) At the moment im driving a Simagic Alpha U, and Meca cup pedals, In time to come ill be trading those and getting the Simicube 2 Ultimate, alongside these pedals and a grid steering wheel, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Now to start saving lol
I will have the ultimate wheelbase as well. It’s coming shortly. The pedals are very impressive.
@@danielmorad What’s the real benefit of the Ultimate with so much torque if you don’t even use all the torque ? Is your current Simucube 2 Pro not good enough…?
Awesome review Daniel, I really think this is going to be a game changer for immersion and track performance like you said.
Looking at your foot position, I was wondering if I could get some advice from a pro if you don't mind.
I'm having trouble getting consistent at trail braking and I think it's because of my foot position so I had a couple questions:
1. When you're hitting the brake, do you have your braking heel on or off the heel plate?
2. Are you controlling the brake pressure when coming off the brake with your entire leg or just the foot, or both?
I have good news for you… tune in to my next, RUclips video on Wednesday and I have a full video explaining seating ergonomics, wheel and pedal position set up.
If that video doesn’t fully explain, I can help you out :)
To answer simply though right now, my heel stays on the plate. The fine-tuning brake release is coming from the foot, and the big pressure is coming from my quad.
@@danielmorad Great I'm looking forward to the video! I appreciate the tips as well!
Love the content and the amazing studio 👌
Thanks a lot!! Appreciate it.
hyper morad 🖖
Thanks man!! 🤟🏼
The title is kinda funny. If 6 thousand dollar pedals are not the best ever... I thought it would be a no-brainer
Got you to click lol ;)
@@danielmorad True xD
I am sold on the Brake do you think the throttle is worth it ?
They look amazing but yes they are massive
It’s not a bad thing that they’re big. They have a lot to do inside lol
@@danielmorad I guess so must be a lot going on in there
to be fair they are not the first active pedals fanatec kind of already have them but obv this are way more advance
Vibration doesn’t really count I don’t think but I know what you mean
What pedals did you like before these ones?
We have insane hardware and in the other side very weak games like 2008 iRacing….Hope You guys do some Proper sim racing game one day!
I’m sure this industry will change very soon.
Load Sensor for load cell - to measure strength of input for brakes vs Position Input for potentiometer - to measure distance for throttles
Bam! That’s why I drive car haha
@@danielmorad Hey you got it right just by feel, kudos! Appreciate the videos. Very practical stuff. Love it. Thanks!
That damping is cheat code! 😂. Should make trail breaking a hell of a lot better/easier and breaking better as a whole.
It totally is. And it does. If you’ve seen me drive with them on twitch, you’d see how smooth the brake release is.
@@danielmorad I've just started streaming on twitch. I'll give you follow. What is your Twitch channel name? If you could give me a follow back. That would be epic! boosive_motorsport
Nice video! How are they with non ABS cars, like open-wheelers?
That’s where they shine even more. So much accuracy on the pedal position. It’s one of those things that you need to actually get your foot on to understand. It’s pin point accurate and the feel is so natural.
@@danielmorad I have two friends with these pedals and they don't say that. The throttle is scratchy and not fun (my friends words) he also said the brake felt great but not mind blowing and not for the money and he's had simucube since the OSW and now has the ultimate so he understands the software. Maybe just need setting up correctly.
Definitely an end game pedals at the moment.
I can’t see any other pedals competing with these. Just like the steering motor. Top of the class.
@plorwax oxymoron
Production quality, Delivery of content is awesome
you got the x factor Daniel!
Thanks so much man. That means a lot. Just trying to be as natural as possible :)
Thanks for the great video. Can you compare them with the Heusinkveld Ultimate +.?
The Heusinkveld Ultimates are fantastic pedals but there’s a small window where they work best and more precisely. You’ll find it a lot stiffer and shorter throw than Simucube. With the Simucube pedals, I can change it to however I want it and still maintain the precision on the pedal
@@danielmorad Thanks for your fast answer. In fact, that I´m not a pro driver, I´ll stay with my Ultimates. Maybe when I win the lottery! 😁 Greetings from Germany
great video dude!
would you advice to have a curve in my pedals or just linair? (asetek Invicta)
I have no experience with those pedals but a curve like that helps with the control on big pressure. Do you have the extension kit?
@@danielmorad no i dont have it
How mich is the braking force in real life? What is the best loadcell for realistic braking?
In the car so I’m driving, around 40 to 50 kg
12:25 You mentioned 75 KG Max brake force for your GT3 so I’m little bit confused now….40-50 KG or 75 KG braking force ? Or you meant 40-50 KG to not lock up….? Never ever driven GT3 and never heard or read this info so I’m unaware…
About to fly over from alberta to visit bro I'm jelous 🤣
Haha. It would be worth it lol
They look a amazng, but those 2 pedals are 3x the price of my entire setup.
Out of my range, for now at least. Hopefully the technology will come down in price as time goes on.
I’m sure it will. Doesn’t matter how much the setup is worth. As long as you’re having a great time… that’s all that counts.

awesome video!
Thanks a lot
can they be used on the floor ?
6 months rent or.... a set of pedals? I'll have 2 sets please :)
Haha maybe bad life choices but #simracingislife lol
@@danielmorad exactly!!!
Thanks for that video daniel 👏
I was thinking a more progressive brake feeling would be realistic, so that the beggining is pretty soft and the end of the travel becomes really hard to push, instead of having the end of the curve so flat.. interesting to see that you are using almost the opposite of that
That’s exactly what I’m doing in theory. Allowing the harder pedal section to have less sensitivity. It’s complicated when you look at it but when it’s on your foot, it all makes sense.
@@danielmorad makes total sense mate. I am usually running a progressive brake, so that i got more precision at the start of the travel, and then a pretty hard end. But with the damping and curve settings on the simucube pedals you can probably get really creative 👏
Real curves are progressive. Fairly linear with no air in the system, but progressive still. More progressive with even 1% air. I think brake boosters change it though; a curve like Daniel's could be achievable I think. GT cars don't have brake boosters, though.
Daniel any reason for not wearing racing shoes? Any pros cons Vs socks.
I personally always felt like finesse is much more important in sim racing because of how delicate the values need to be, especially in the single digit % values in braking. Socks with the padding give me the best of both power and the ability to finesse the last little bit.
@@danielmorad Thanks for the reply, I've always used shoes but I'm going to give this a try.
Hi Daniel, i dont like to tinker myself with stuff. I rather have pick up n play setups that 1:1 mimic the real deal per car. Any chance for these pick n drive setups coming for truedrive? Not comminitybased as its now.
My profile will come as a default profile to select in the software. :)
@@danielmorad do you do any rally racing by chance? Would be really great to have a rally profile from you 😄
The brake trailing damping is kind of cheating no?
It’s so good, isn’t it?
No discussion of what the force feedback feels like?
It feels great. Time into live streams and we can dive deeper into the feelings
Not sure if he mentioned it but these are around $5000usd for two pedals and base
And they’re currently sold out for the first production batch in the USA and Europe. But more will be available soon. :)
@@danielmorad thanks for the info, I’m still using old Fanatec v1 load cell pedals so I’d love to try these but outta my price range. I thought pedals using actual hydraulic brake components like Simtag or Ricmotech would be ideal but maybe this is the way to go if you think it more closely simulates your actual race car brakes.
@@danielmoradI am sure they did.
Sim racing is a hobby where you can spend silly money very easily.
These are so far beyond my current means. It’s almost laughable.
Maybe one day I will win the lottery and don’t have to operate on a tight budget.
I wonder what kind of sim rig one can build for the same cost of just a pair of these pedals?
Just a thought.
They seem amazing but I guess like any new sim racing tech..... its out of reach for 99% of people. 4200.00 for the 2 pedal set is pretty crazy. Hopefully in the coming years other companies find a way to make something similar for far less money so normal people can enjoy them.
It’s incredible technology but you’re right, it is quite expensive. Very few will be able to experience it but the ones that do you will very much enjoy it.
Pedals will be great , no doubt, but just way too expensive .. what is it , 5k for 2 pedals ? Sheesh
Roughly. It isn’t a product for everybody, just like a Mercedes-AMG isn’t a car that everybody drives, but it has insane performance. I totally get that they’re priced high but it’s justifiable imo for what they can do. A single pedal setup is also so good. Throttle can be from another pedal set.
@@danielmorad ohh ,kinda cool it lets you mix and match pedal sets like that. Knowing me I’d have to get both even tho I suck lol
@@danielmorad Simucube should come with there own version of a gas pedal within the same software to make a set with the single active pedal
Well I wanted motion next year… now I just don’t know… hmmmm
If you’re going for more performance and immersion, the petals are the way to go. If you are looking for a really cool immersive, feel without losing performance, the motion is a great option.
With the new Iracing update I don’t think this pedals would be worth it. Before the update I used to feel the ABS on my simucube pro 2 base now I don’t feel it so probably would be the same for the pedals
It’s still important to be able to modulate the brake and understand how to bleed off the brake. The way you are interpreting it is from a very basic and limiting point of you. You will get to a certain level, but will not progress any further from that unfortunately, with the approach that you’re speaking about. You still do feel the ABS effect, but now you just need to adjust the settings in the software. I have already done that and have worked with the Simucube team on this current update in iRacing.
@@danielmorad so is that the same for the settings on the simucube 2 pro base if so what setting is that? Thanks
15:13 Assetto Corsa Competizione is sadly totally not like you mention here. It’s 100% full braking even when ABS kicks in like crazy. You need to give your real feedback to them so they can change it…but yeah it is was it is for now….
Yeah it isn’t ideal right now. But I’m sure every sim will develop and improve.
Have you dialed in the brake pedal settings with all the new updates?
I have. My latest profile is on my discord. Very good feeling now.
@@danielmorad Thanks for the reply! Love your vids. Heading to Discord!
Hey, so how are the pedals?
Hahaha!! I will have a !pedals command on stream
Fantastic video Dan! Pioneer tech here that will spark competitors to trickle out more affordable gear. As a SC2 guy I would love to have these!
Hopefully. This is something that is really helpful. I’m sure others will come out with similar products, but just like the wheelbase, nothing seems to compare.
Would be great if you can show us a pure driving video with these and comment on how it feels relative to the real life cars you drive in iRacing/ACC?
Thanks for the idea! We will put something together in the future.
Thanks Dan. Awesomeness!!!
Thanks so much for supporting
Groundbreaking !
They are wild!
Hey Daniel, Thankyou for the Video. Do you have to use the foot plate or can the pedals be bolted direct to profile, and can these pedals be inverted, also will the pedal software be incorperated into Truedrive, and will teams be making profiles available? tia Jason.
Depends on which foot plate you have but I’m assuming you can bolt it direct. As long as the profile can be adjusted forwards and backwards.
@@danielmorad Thankyou.
