Simagic Alpha 15nm first impressions. Upgraded from 8nm dd pro….

I have tried leo bodner, Simucube, fanatec, simagic, thrustmaster TGT2 and Logitech g29

Simagic Alpha 15nm is a lovely proposition.

No space for triples or ultra wide. So 28’ at the moment👍🏼

When you invest everything into wheel and base and got no money left for monitors etc. I enjoyed the detail on the socks getting dried during the video

I went from a Logitech G29 to the Alpha about 10 months ago and I'm still amazed with the thing. Congrats!

I'm waiting for my first rig setup to which is a Trak Racer TR120, Simagic Alpha 15nm, GTS Leather Wheel, P1000 Pedals, DS-8X Shifter and TB-1 but after watching your video.... now I want a GT Neo too!!!! great video man, thank you 😊 Cheers Don, Perth W.Australia (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)

Literally the same as me. I have a csl dd 8nm. And am going to the alpha. The mini just doesn't feel like enough of an upgrade. It more power of course, but not much. Going to the alpha is doubling power. Feels more worthwhile for the head room.
I wanna run about 12nm

[itsretzy]

that is a really nice base, love the wheel as well !! enjoy

I have an Alpha U. It is definitely overkill. This alpha is really all that anyone needs. The U is only good for occasionally cranking up the power to accurately simulate old high downforce cars for some fun. Im a strong, fit, professional tower climber with very high grip strength. 6’1 (186cm) and 200lbs (90kg). I’ve tried doing a whole race in the F4 car on iRacing with the power cranked all the way up. After 5min I’m getting tired, 10min in my hands and wrists start to hurt. After the full 20min race I’m drenched in sweat my hands can hardly hold on and my wrists feel like wet noodles and actively hurt. I’ve got to avoid curbs and/or bumps because the shock through the wheel hurts too much.

Most of the time I run it between 10 and 15nm. Less power and I feel like the car isn’t communicating with me enough, more and it gets tiring/painful after a while.

I did the same thing! Had fanatec gt dd 8nm sold that for clubsport dd 12nm and that was a nightmare! Sold all that junk and went full simagic with alpha 15nm!!

Simagic wins hands down the alpha is amazing and amazing wheels.

Had simucube sport back in the day which is 17nm and I’d still pick the alpha

A wheelbase is my next upgrade. I opted for a g9 oled upgrade first. My trusty g25 dosnt prevent me from achieving 102-103% lfm times, but a serious crash in T1 from lack of peripherals will!

[Seanbyford]

going from the fanatec 8nm myself to this wheel - just ordered it....

[talon]

You could give VR a try since space is an issue. I'm happy with 8nm for now. Great video.

[jonathandesilets]

Just ordered the Mini can't wait to get it....coming from a G27 it should be quite the upgrade XD.

[errolchanner]

I thought about the 15mn but I purchased the alpha min instead. I think its all I need. Coming from the T818 which was a nightmare. cant believe the Neo is going for 250 pounds!!!

[simracer]

i was once like u, invest all money to sim rig, wheel, base, pedal, and i playing with 24 inch monitor, i feel something not complete, and my monitor was broken, now im upgrade it with triple monitor, now feel like where it should be

Fanatec has peak torque of 8nm not holding torque like the simagic wheel does. Thats why it feels stronger at around same NM setting. As time goes u get used to it and will increase your torque a bit.

U made the best possible choice, u have plenty of torque headroom for the future and this brand is pure quality. Im on G920 going for Alpha mini and Neo. Simagic bases and Neo are praised everywhere u look. Cant even find any simagic used gear on the internet 😂 its all fanatec plagued haha

[karner]

I would really recommend trying vr my dude. This small screen doesnt look to good

[Intxr]

I went from a G920 to a Simagic Alpha Mini and now a Simagic Alpha with the GT NEO wheel (next to the GT1-D wheel) and the P1000 with 3 pedals with the hydraulic brake and rumblers addons.

I'm planning on switching to Simagic. Currently using CSL DD 8nm. Thinking of Alpha or Alpha U maybe, one big upgrade. Never tried these bases.

[reviewforthetube]

Did you use default settings? I was told by simagic they wrre designed from there testers and real life drivers. I should have tried it because now going back to that I absolutely love my alpha.

I tried adjusting to my preference and coumdnt find the spot I wanted its the only brand that has settings imo perfect when in default.

[Reddevilracing]

I've got csl dd with boost kit 8nm...triple 27s...I really don't see the use in anything stronger than that
