WORLD'S FIRST TRUCK SIM WHEEL! - MOZA TSW Review

[@thecodex0994]

Gotta hand it to moza for seeing a gap in the market with the truck sim community

[@DAGATHire]

Aye its a big market indeed, between euro and American truck sim there 30k people average per day. Clever from moza that

[@Gizfreek]

@@DAGATHirenot only that but farming simulator as well which has a huge community and few wheels for that purpose.

[@DAGATHire]

@@Gizfreek aye, isn't there that kinda toy looking wheel for farming sim? saw it on YT at some point. Looked fairly toy-ish tho.

[@Coops383]

​@@DAGATHire Logitech make one.

[@DAGATHire]

@@Coops383 Ahh ye! thats the one im thinking of. No Force feedback. spring loaded. plastic toy. Should have guessed it was logitech 🤣

[@Sile]

I think it's fantastic that a company has released stuff for trucks

[@Loki_S13]

It's funny to think how many people play semi truck driving sims for a company to notice and make a wheel.

[@SewerShark]

TBF, ATS and ETS2 player base only keeps on rising.

[@RetroGenetic]

I tried ETS2, and it was enjoyable and fun :D

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Ummm truck sims are far more popular than any racing sim.

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

In other words: "Why took you so goddamn long?"

[@Niodium]

Yep. ETS2 and ATS have been out since 2012, and are still going strong. That is pretty unusual for a game. Regular updates, lots of mods. It will be around for some time to come, especially if there is now specific hardware to enhance it

[@matthewwilliams5253]

Cant wait for the first video of someone doing F1 with this wheel..

[@Henelund]

Sounds like a Jimmy Broadbent challenge coming up:-).

[@b9bot148]

Definitely interested in that attachment that adds all the stalks. That's the cleanest most realistic setup yet. Amazing work by Moza.

[@morgfarm1]

I got one from Amazon. Definitely a little sub-par but was one of the better options available. They're useful even on iRacing. Sports cars make good use of the wiper stalk now :D

[@DaniMacYo]

That’s pretty cool to be honest. There have been truck sim enthusiasts who have asked for such a thing in comments many a time I’ve read. I hope this makes them happy. Well done Moza. 👏

[@cyancut21]

That NRG style racing quick release on a massive truck wheel looks absolutely wild

[@P-IN-JP]

I'm planning on buying a DD wheel and I gotta be honest, Moza is really winning me over. The same can't be said about Fanatec.

[@limpetarch98k]

Ever considered Simagic? Or at least some of their stuff like the handbrakes/shifters and the pedals?

[@JackRLong12]

Well if you are only choosing between those brands I can tell you that when it comes to the overall feel and performance the actual force feedback is better with Fanatec especially the newer models. Of course that comes with all the Fanatec issues with delivery and customer service at the moment though. I've always gotten my stuff pretty reasonably

[@Spotter-]

As someone who has owned Fanatec and currently Simagic, Simagic is significantly better.

[@JackRLong12]

@@Spotter- for sure, only fanatecs new bases really compate to simmagics. Both are still better than Moza imo

[@P-IN-JP]

@@limpetarch98k now I am. Thanks.

[@Niodium]

I’ve only recently got into the truck and off road driving sim stuff. I find it amazingly good fun and really relaxing. I looked into bigger sims wheels or adapting a real wheel, but in the end I just went ahead last week and ordered one of these instead, especially since they are bringing out the multi-function stalks later this year (June?) to compliment the wheel. So many people play truck sims. I believe from another video that if you look at the stats from Steam, typically, there are more people playing ETS/ATS at any given time, than all the racing sims combined. It is therefore a big untapped market and I think Moza are going to claim a huge chunk of it this year. Good on Moza for innovating. They have got even more of my business as I’m selling my Fanatec kit and moving over to Moza lock, stock and barrel.

[@ricardoa1661]

i play ATS since day 1 and love it but if you think there are more people playing ATS/ETS than iracing ,sorry to say you are mistaken .

[@nicusorflorea7673]

Sooo, i was thinking of what ecosystem to go in for sims, but i think moza just made it the easiest choice ever for me with this. All Moza need to do now, is to create a splitter and range addapter for the shifters and they win the market.

[@Niodium]

For me it was a toss up last year between Moza and Fanatec. I went with Fanatec in the end because of the price, availability (ha ha! it took 2 months for it to arrive) and broad ecosystem. Had I known then that this truck wheel was coming out, I would have gone with Moza without a shadow of a doubt. As already posted, I’m now going to move over to Moza and sell all my Fanatec gear.

[@siloedspace]

They teased a shifter adapter in a photo.

[@Obalcan]

​@@siloedspace what is a shifter adapter?

So Moza r16 wheel base is what you need with this wheel?

[@farr1260]

HELL YEAAHHH BROTHER!!!

[@AFlyingSwive]

10:40 there's typically two horns, a quiet city horn that sounds like normal cars then the famous air horn on a separate button or some type of switch

[@bullit199]

Moza is killing it right now! They listen to their community and release competitively priced products and have such a range of wheelbases for all budgets/needs. I love that they have a hub so you can use their wheels with other bases but beware, the hub requires 2 USB ports, one for data and one for power. That detail is not well publicized so keep that in mind.

[@bubu88134]

I'm not into trucks, but you are amazing at reviewing stuff. Keep it up!

[@jm10396]

Im a heavy diesel mechanic and in most trucks the steering is buttery smooth and requires little effort to steer the truck because of the big power steering systems and im talking from experience i test drive trucks almost everyday completely different feel than driving a racecar on slicks with no power steering

[@flipcoin6301]

Recirculating ball bearing steering

[@grang-jc2ee]

in the thrustmaster ecosystem rn i need to switch ASAP!

[@ricardoa1661]

i went from a thrustmaster tmx to a moza r5 ... i regret nothing 😁

[@SwigerQ86]

I saved up and got the moza wheelbase and pedals from a thrustmaster TSXW and the thrustmaster loadcell pedals. its night and day.

[@FrenchyAU]

this is such a great idea and moza killing it again but man i hope they release a smaller 300-320mm version of this wheel for street cars, love just doing some regular driving in beamng and stuff and something like this with buttons for indicators and stuff would be a game changer

[@vadim752]

I think moza is gonna be the best sim company in the next 5 years, good entry level and high end gear, exploring new markets (trucking sim and flight sim) they even released turning signals and active pedals

[@potatoglizzy3212]

Coolest product I’ve seen in a long time!!

[@boneyjellyfish]

From what I've heard, they're also planning on releasing a wiper stalk add-on for the wheel. Looking forward to seeing how that turns out!

just wish that the Moza logo read "Moza Trucking" instead of "Racing", but I'm not complaining.

Because it was mentioned several times: The steering in the trucks and construction equipment I've driven always feels *extremely* light. The power steering on the freightliner I have the most experience in feels lighter than my personal car and would be on the low end of a Logitech g29.

[@halfbreed02]

the fact they even are making things like these means in 10 years the hobby will be so much farther than it is now... Good on ya Moza

[@Barbabonbon]

I have been oogling this wheel for months! thank you for covering it

[@TBolt1]

I certainly respect MOZA for designing anything for truck sim drivers, and I'm not saying that simply because I love my MOZA racing hardware. Well done MOZA Racing. 🏆

[@Coops383]

Very well done by moza. This wheel with the adapter & tobii eye tracker, immersion plus!

[@johnnybanana8004]

i dont care about truck simulators, but this is realy cool👍

[@tarnishedd]

Way to theme the whole video Will haha the intro music and the trucker hat is spot on haha

[@Vortechtral]

I hope that this becomes big enough that competition comes out with their own trucking wheels.

[@DH_Builds]

I was watching The Simpit's review of this wheel and he mentions way more adjustability to the RPM LEDs with things like flag/telemetry LEDs. So as someone who may not be interested in this wheel but definitely the Moza ecosystem that looks very interesting, but I haven't been able to find mention of this anywhere else.

[@DH_Builds]

I also remember a couple months ago some sale promo photos from Moza's social media that had renders of the FSR with individual RPM LEDs instead of the gradient. Whether that will happen or not (I hope it will) it looks like Moza is moving away from the gradient RPM bar to individual LEDs (see KS, RS V2P, CS V2P, and TSW) EDIT: Upon checking the Moza website they have the renders of the FSR as well as the same thing with the RS V2.

[@Rmx2011]

Hopefully other companies take note and expand their product catalogs aswell, well done Moza.

[@mattc777]

Finally, truck simulator! 😮 I'm interested in the stalks that may come out though

[@debtsooB990]

I'm certainly an outlier, and I'm sure the majority of sim racers don't agree, but I for one would love a smaller diameter version of this wheel with the same button layout and wheel design. I play a lot of BeamNG/AC and enjoy driving in not very supped-up, track-focused race cars, and spend most of my time is unmodified street cars (No Hesi not withstanding). I would love a sim wheel that mimics the layout and design of a modern, regular street car steering wheel, with multi-function buttons. I have an R5 base with the 11" ES wheel (12" wheel rim is on the way), and would love a 12-13" wheel that is either the exact same or very similar in design and button layout to this truck wheel. I don't play ATS/ETS2 enough to justify this nearly 16" diameter wheel, but man a smaller version would be amazing.

[@pietervanderhorst2529]

Im so glad they have those stickers tbh. It would be so weird having the indocator and wiper buttons wjen youve got the stalks once they release those

[@SilverHolland]

Trucking companies: why can't we find any drivers anymore? Answer: The ones that want to drive truck, don't need to leave the house anymore :-D

[@RingoYote]

shit pay, shit hours, dispatchers treat you like a slave, you'll be lucky if you get more than a couple hours of sleep on some runs, you could be gone for 4 weeks at a time, you're essentially living in a tiny apartment on wheels, and its not luxurious at all, its kind of fucking gross, you have to pay for a shower, and you only get 10-20 minutes to bathe. some companies trick drivers into leasing their own trucks, so many of them end up in deep dept. yes we need truckers, it's literally the backbone of our economy, everything from agriculture to retail to even the medical industry relies on truckers to get their supplies or goods, we just need better regulation. source: looked into it about 6 years ago and a retired trucker talked me out of it.

[@jinks_racing]

I'm only 0:44 seconds in but I just want to say that I appreciate the cheesy dad rock intro music. 👍😆

[@AFlyingSwive]

it's good that the desk adapter can technically be used in both regular set up and the vertical

[@dufey1969]

that table clamp is a cool idea

[@Nilsson91]

Modern trucks like the Volvo FH16 that i drive, have an integrated electric motor on the steering gear, that's working with the hydraulic steering, so feels kinda like a DD wheel, you can set the resistance you want, for a heavy or light steering feel, so it's like driving a modern car with a huge wheel.

[@cosette14234]

When ever i have the money im getting this, i play ets 2, ats and farm sim, this would be great to have for them

[@Sunnyyyyy90]

Thanks for the review! I do have concerns about how it attaches to 3rd party wheel base, since its cable is not very long, but real live truck usually have 1800 degree turning wheel, so I think that cable is not long enough, maybe they will come up with some wireless solution?

[@diegobalzarini1994]

I've been waiting for your review. You are awesome.

[@therevjt85]

Kind of want to try it with the trucks in AMS2

[@PanzerRanger]

What would be a good pedal set to complement the TSW?

[@Elioncars]

I just Wish Fanatec released new products like this

[@alphastratus6623]

I hope the car bus connector on the new DD wheelbases will be compatible with modern car equipment like indicator levers, automatic drive selectors, etc...

[@zoeyharshman2658]

I feel like this wheel might also be the best option for a street racing experience and I've been thinking about getting it for that

[@zsombormannheim4666]

Hey! One question, which isn't fully bright for me. If I buy a Moza wheelbase for the wheel, do I also need the universal kit, or is it only for use with other bases?

[@bokomassine8124]

MOZA THE BEST! Respect!

[@adrianalbaladejo6902]

So I’m not sure about other trucks, but in my job I have access to 4 different types of trucks. The ones the use air horns have a button on the side of the wheel or a cord on the top of the cab you can pull

[@eddymoj93]

This wheel fits more towards the European trucks. At least that’s what it looks like.

[@BasedPotato403]

gonna love to use this in ETS 2

[@jatin3355]

The trucker music had me cracking up

[@LogiForce86]

This is a case of "you snooze, you lose" because the suggesting of a truck wheel and indicator stalks has been given to Fanatec before. Like 10 years ago already.

[@sonyman3151]

An International (brand) truck I have driven in the past had the air horn as a button on the right side of the wheel, with the city horn being in the center. So the horn being a button on this wheel isn't out of place.

[@MattiasHorn]

Nice wheel and the compatibility with e.g. Fanatec is really cool. Hope you review the Wiper accessory as well. Interesting to see if it is also Fanatec "compatible".

[@RecklessRedz]

Moza is actually genius with this one

[@radneyvous]

Now I wonder and hopefully Moza will make a motion platform next

[@Sendit77]

this could be useful for simulating a cramped sprint car interior and with the indicator stalks could be an ok street driving/cruising wheel

[@SureVibe]

[@benhelsing537]

[@flipcoin6301]

I hope they come out with a CB ‘radio’. Farm simulator controls would be cool too…

[@quekvincent5981]

Realised the base is mounted inverted. Is there an option in the Pit House software to invert the orientation?

[@BALLOOROOM]

Good question. The Pit House software has a center button, so I'd imagine you'd turn the wheel 180° and press center.

[@Skynexstar]

Would love to see a video on your real life car(s)

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

I don’t know what a semi feels like but to me it felt right is an interesting take away. No sim communicates the weight sensation you get from driving a real truck. The shove from fighting the wind. The heart attack from pressing on the brake pedal and not slowing down. Truck sim needs full motion platforms

[@Case_]

But it feels so incredibly authentic! 😂

[@markbratby9377]

[@Cosm1c_69]

4:20 DAMN!!!! I am shocked and impressed! MOZA you just move to the top #1 of my potential future shoping target when I will save some money to go for Direct Drive wheel swap. I was really wondering for ages why there is no company that would make such accesories for people loving to just drive in games in street legal cars or go trucking, not only race on tracks in F1 and other strict racing cars! So this accessory is now on my wishlist for the future as for now I am to poor to buy anything. ROCK ON MOZA!!!! I hope BM will review this attachment hub and test it in some road legal cars and truck sims. Subbed for that but also I like your reviews. Cheers.

[@Ryzza5]

What's up with the insane USD to AUD conversion? Over 2x for the stand.

[@TrueBlade-1889]

The problem is that it really needs a separate bracket to be positioned properly. Are peeps gonna be arsed constantly swapping it all out when switching rims / sims ?

[@TrueBlade-1889]

I'll answer my own question... yes. You will need a second base as it is a royal PITA swapping them out !

[@strange_jason]

True legends use this wheel for open-wheel sim racing

[@Brittlespeed]

I can't understand why no wheel manufactures integrate a center horn button, especially on a wheel like this. Can't be that difficult.

[@noahbs0487]

Hori is coming out with a trucking wheel and it appears to actually have a center horn button. Might be worth checking out.

[@starfire2133]

Well now i know what wheel system i will buy into next

[@Case_]

Pretty smart of Moza. The Euro Truck crowd is surprisingly big and now they can try to fool all these people into thinking they absolutely need to get a 1000 euro DD wheel. For that "familiar and authentic feel", as confirmed by people who never driven a truck (so just like in simracing with race cars, really). And you know what, good for them. Why not make money off people willing to part with them.

[@katanamd]

I wonder if Moza will make a slim accessory hub so I can attach it to the back of the wheel. I want to use this with Asetek pass through but I don't want the coiled cable. Perhaps a short cable with the USB adapter built in made just for Asetek

[@OffWorldCorp]

You say that if you use the clamp for another wheel it's too low down, but could you not just mount the clamp upside down, move the orientation to near zero degrees and recalibrate for the new position ?? 17:04 looks like you just need to raise it up (which upside down would be lowering it.

[@boostedmedia]

That would mean removing it and remounting it every time.

[@OffWorldCorp]

@@boostedmedia That's got to be easier (and cheaper) than buying a different way of mounting it for regular racing and swapping everything over, and looks like a 5 minute job. It looks like a decent compromise, perhaps if you could also swap around the clamps it would look more aesthetic, it just needs a revision.

It wouldn't fit hard mounted

[@Niodium]

I have a Next Level Racing wheel stand and I reckon I can adapt the top plate so it pivots enough in the right direction to have this wheel at a flatter angle, without having to remove the DD unit. I’d have to lower the top of the stand for truck mode, but that’s just a few bolts. I might write to Next Level Racing and suggest that if they had full semicircle pivot plates on the side of the top plate, instead of the quarter circle ones, it would give the flexibility to car racing and truck driving.

I am looking to upgrade to The Moza truck wheel just excited for for the Proper Indictor and wipers stocks am only asking to see if it fits to a Gt Omega wheel stand i just the fact i can just move the stand out of the way and play other type of games or do work on computer without un screwing it from desk or that i just have the Thrustmaster TX Racing Wheel just now but if this Moza Truck wheel cant be fitted to my stand or the can bring out a bracket to mount in to other Stands be Perfect Keep on trucking Truckers Fantastic Community :)

The issue is they are smaller channels and Moza doesnt want to send smaller channels the wheel. Irritates me

[@Stormy177]

They don't need to. Truck sim creators are likely to buy one anyway and talk about it on their channel because they know their audience will be curious, so they'll want the views such a video will give them. Videos like this cater to a wider audience - 'I'm keen on driving games and curious about truck simulators - is it worth me investing in Moza hardware/this wheel specifically to satisfy that curiosity?'
