i have my R5 for soon 1 year now, absolutly fantastic, i had the ES formula wheel but quickly changed (like 1 month later) to the KS wheel for the buttons (and with the lights and telemetry update they did on all wheels, its even better) and still have a round wheel when i use a shifter instead of swapping the wheel shape on the ES everytime

I've just (about a week ago) had my moza r5 kit and purchased quite a bit of dlc for ACC. This video is EXACTLY what I was looking for to fine tune my ffb. I'm hoping it will help cure the snap oversteer that I sometimes get and I'm unable to react fast enough to save...possibly caused by clipping?? Well worth the like and subscription :)

Love this review! Just what I needed, Just one question though, what is the compatibility like with different sims and games, like the F1 games and other sims, AMS2, WRC, etc, that is if you have tried them. Thanks for this review though!

@PurelyPog Hey, cheers for the comments. Other game wise, I had the previous F1 installed, modded Automobilista for BTCC and have Dirt 2.0 installed. All no problem. Pithouse software detects and supports them with some presets I believe. I'm away at the mo so can't cross ref to check, but my memory isn't at the Joe Biden levels just yet 🤭🙃

My R9 has never got hot...it has got warm after hours of continuous use but never hot.
@tompsmithАй бұрын
That's probably in line with my assumption too with anything up from the R5. The R5 will sometimes get hot if FFB is maxed out on certain games or tracks. Most often it's just warm too. May even be improved with later firmware updates, but haven't given enough attention to a pattern of behaviour over the months. Cheers for the feedback 🍻

Hi I am a new user of r5. As a 1.5 years r5 user, do you always use 100% game force feedback on r5? I am a new sim driver and want to play more F1 or racing car. What is your suggestions? Thank you!
@JoeyTseАй бұрын
For me 40% is already insane. But Dose increasing the game force feedback will help me improve or have more fun on driving?
@tompsmithАй бұрын
@JoeyTse hey dude, well each game is different of course. I've done a vid on ACC settings. 100% on Pithouse, but 70 - 80% in game force feedback works there for maxing it out. 67% was the safe value, but the vid shows where the clipping kicks in as a hint about what to aim for. Hope tha helps

@chitose3146Ай бұрын
Sometimes, I think buying better sim racing equipment will be less costly in the long run and the more you try to cut costs, the more you'll most likely spend in the long run. Here are examples: Option A: Logitech G29 or G923 or Thrustmaster T300 then upgrade to Moza R5 then upgrade to Moza R9 then 21nm DD Option B: Moza R5 then upgrade to R9 then 21nm DD Option C: Moza R9 then 21nm DD Option D: 21nm DD But of course, it still comes to the buyers' budget. Not everyone has near-limitless sim racing budget. I think Moza R5 is still better than the Logitech and Thrustmaster rigs for long-term use.
@tompsmithАй бұрын

@antonlammers1454Ай бұрын
I use a custom Pithouse config file based on Race Beyond Matter's information, it uses 100% in Pithouse and then run 60% gain in ACC Also tried it the other way around and it was awful. Also found that by not trying to run the R5 at absolute maximum and leaving a bit of headroom, I tend to drive with lighter grip and it also improves my driving and what I am feeling. Light hands while braking also prohibits locking the fronts

Do you think the r3 is good? The r5 bundle is 200usd more expensive than r3 in my country 😂 im planning to get the moza truck wheel after as I mainly play ets2 but unsure if the r3 is sufficient enough. Thanks!
@tompsmithАй бұрын
My Logitech G27 was 3Nm, and I've dialed down my R5 for the kids now n then. For me 3Nm wouldn't be enough, 5 is where the entry should start. The R3 is marketed towards Console and all age ranges is my opinion. Just my personal thoughts, and depends what you're mounting it to. For truck sims, I'd want a nice amount of FFB 💪 I also think the larger wheel for the truck sim stuff could do with a stronger base.

There's some info somewhere saying the R5 and R9 share the same tech inside, and from the R12 upwards there's a difference for more detail. From memory I think it's a higher encoder resolution, but don't know enough about it. I imagine the R9 will still be pretty great either way! Happy saving!! 😁

I had an issue where my pedals (Moza CRP) didnt sit nicely on my cockpit (NLR GTracer) saved myself 200 by retuning the CRPs and buying the SRPs. customer service on both sites are good. In terms of delivery most places say its free after a certain ammount of money. I cant remember if mine was as the cockpit required hiring a pallet company to transport it.
