[@rolandotillit2867]

For those building their own rigs, use washers to angle the pedals perfectly. Make sure you have long enough bolts so you can shim the pedal angle to your liking.

[@chepilevski]

Good advice Rolando 🤛

[@Simlife101]

@Rolando Tillit great idea. Me and a friend are both getting bad right knee pain and put it down too the angle of the gas pedal and no way too adjust it or move it back but this would be a perfect solution and hopefully fixes our issues. So simple yet we never thought of it 🤣

Hey I just got into sim racing and I really appreciate your videos. The heusinkveld pedals have been around for a long time and they are the final pedals for many sim racers. I’ve never heard of Simagic until this video so I’m surprised to see you’re switching to them as they’re a newer company.

[@chepilevski]

Heusinkveld are absolute and I love them but i used them for more then 3 years and wanted to switch to hydraulic for the experience! We still don’t know much about Simagic but for now with all the deals I had with them I’m very happy! Heusinkveld are definitely the safe way to go as they are very well known for the absolute brilliant services and I hope Simagic will follow there steps 😃

[@chepilevski]

Oh my , I did forgot indeed 🤭 Thx for letting me know buddy 🤛

[@rayaguilar9085]

I’ve actually need experimenting with softer brake settings. The paradigm in sim racing is to go as hard as possible. But a softer solution with more travel gives the brain much more resolution to play with. At least my brain it does. This makes threshold braking much more precise. Give it a shot.

[@chepilevski]

I know what you mean and I agree with you totally! The last 2 weeks I change to soft to see how it will go and for now I enjoy it a lot ! Will stay for 4 more weeks like that and check the end results !

[@rayaguilar9085]

@@chepilevski That’s interesting to hear! I know part of your goal is to merge the feelings between a real race car and your rig so that the sim is more realistic. But sometimes I think to myself, “Wait, this isn’t real. So what do I want an uncomfortable or harsh solution in my rig, just because real life racers have to put up with it?” As an example, I doubt they make racing braking pedals so hard because it’s easier for the driver. It’s probably just a requirement for that type of braking system, rotors and pads. Another good example is I doubt a formula driver really wants such an uncomfortable seat and bad visibility. That’s just the shape it has to be for aero. I mean, we don’t turn off our air conditioners in the sim to simulate heat stroke right? 😅 Then I think about bench pressing at the gym. If I bench press just the bar, I am able to use fine motor skills to push the bar wherever I want in multiple directions easily. But if I put on max weights for me, I really lose all of that precise movement as the primary muscles take over and I can barely control it. So I started experimenting with a much software brake rubber in my HE’s that I found at a hardware store plus a little more preload than usual. Gives me more travel and I can more precisely hold peak brake pressure. I also coded a dashboard in simhub to track my peak brake pressure so I can visibly see what percentage I hit. Much more consistent now. I just hope my unscientific science is right :)

[@WhippyWhipGaming]

@@rayaguilar9085 if you watch any gt3 car with a foot cam in real life they have a lot of travel, even more than my road car does

[@rayaguilar9085]

Omg @@WhippyWhipGaming you are right. Finally one of my theories might be right 😜! Watching some vids of several gt3 drivers feet they have INCHES of pedal travel. Maybe they have to press hard, but I bet they don’t have to press too hard to get say 60% pressure. I only have real life experience in skip barbers and some Porsche track cars. Albeit not a lot. But those had a reasonable amount of travel and from my memory, they weren’t too hard or soft. So, if this is the case, why are manufacturers and reviewers of sim gear advising that the harder you make the pedal the better it is? I don’t think it’s anything evil. I just bet they are trying to mimic a specific type of braking system in one car. Then once the first pedal makers did it, now they all do it. They’re not considering muscle and brain resolution from feel. We’re in a sim. It uses potentiometers and load cells and microcontrollers… Not pads and discs and heat. I bet a better solution for sim racing is to have a pedal with probably double the travel that gets progressively harder as you push it until it gets to about 75%. Then starts to exponentially get more firm to 100%. I’m gonna try it. On the preload side, it is usually controlling the dynamic stiffness of the pedal. Basically where the pedal firmness starts for the stroke. So really you just need it to be soft enough where you can take up the initial spring pressure and that equates to like 7%-13% pressure for trail braking alone so you don’t have to think about it. Hmm. I gotta do some experimenting and write this stuff down somewhere. Poor Asetek. They made an entire sim racing pedal set based on a flawed premise ☹️

I bought the Pedal Set with the 200kg load cell and the Carbon Foot Plate. I've sent them back after 1 day. The quality was absolut terrible. Scratches out of the Box on the 60€ Footplate and the Baseplate. The Brake was squeaking like hell and the springs of the brake loose the Paintwork after a few brakes. After switching the springs of the Brake a few times, i couldn't loose the screw anymore. Even with tighten the screws of the Pedal arms to maximum, the Pedals have a high movement to the left and right. This Set could be good. But at the moment, they have a big problem with the quality control and not everyone gets what you see here in the Video. At least the Support of the reseller was fast and nice.

Just sad to see my times drop 2 to 3 sec a lap. That is from going from fighting for first to being dead last on pace in iracing. It is rough to see your irating drop from an upgrade. I had to stop racing ranked until i get use to these pedals. Everyone says pedals are the best upgrade but you are the only one to say there will be some time of adjustment to them. Am joking about selling them and going back to the g25s. But just sad the learning curve for me on these pedals has been so rough. It has totally messed up all my braking points. But slowly getting there. This week am only about 1.5 secs off my best lap times. Hope within a month i will be besting those times.

Hello, thanks for the vid, quick question, from your experience in all the pedals? What do you think is the pedal set that is close to a road car? like for example the clutch have more travel time and the brake.. I'm looking for something with a longer clutch and brake travel. I found that a lot of sim racing pedals have very short pedal travel and are very stiff to mimic race cars. I'm trying to simulate driving a road car built for the track.

Please give me your advise and tell me which one you’ll pick if you were in my place!!! Cheers bro 🍻

[@chepilevski]

Hey buddy, it will be very hard choice. I tested ones the Asetek and having low expectations I was very pleasantly surprised how they felt ! Simagic are also great but those are not exactly hydraulic but give that sweet feeling with the dual pump system and looks awesome! The Cube Controls SP-01 have the best brake feeling in my opinion with that mix of spring-elastomers and bumper kit ! They really have awesome feeling but the throttle as I’ve said is mediocre in feeling and very expensive considering they have no clutch but also esthetically they are really beautiful 😃 From all those at the end of the day I still prefer to use the ImSim Talento with those huge plates as they are the most comfortable overall! Hard choice buddy as you already come from good set of pedals 🙈

Ich bin wirklich überrascht von diesen Problemen, die einige Leute in den Kommentaren angegeben haben!

Ich hoffe, dass diese Qualitätsprobleme bald verschwunden sind, da ich meine wirklich liebe!

[@jcsquared1111]

Currently use a fanatec v3 pedal with dd1 base on pc. These will work with the fanatec dd1 right? Also would you say the hydrolic makes a big diff over the load cell??? As im real close to buying the 2 pedal set as i dont need the clutch i only do gt 3 racing on acc. Great vid thankd

[@chepilevski]

Actually the difference in feeling is not that much different! Those here are very smooth and can be set as hard or soft you want! You can feel slide different in pressing the pedal as you move liquid trough that double pump system to compress the spring but is not like night and day !

[@hamzterix]

I'll justify this much investment when I see your leader boards.

[@chepilevski]

What do you mean bay leader board buddy? If you mean my Simracing achievements, I have 9 different titles on iRacing , few leagues iRacing titles and I win over 10 000 $ cash price from world championships and leagues championships ! But is not the equivalent which gives me those wins but the hard work over the years ! This investment here have nothing to do with the leader board but with the passion I have to build something I can enjoy everyday! This is not investment in equipment but in my own happiness 😁

[@routev1485]

Hey man, I notice at 7:24 you have the OMP HC/922 Steel Seat Mounts. Is that the low profile or high profile version? The amount of time I've spent adjusting my set up rivals my game time so I'm really trying to follow your instructions on how to fix your racing position to the letter

[@Popkorn28]

Great review! Only one thing, is there anything to be said about maintenance? Like what fluid, or any spots that should be cleaned / greased more often?

[@Simlife101]

@Simon H yes. the gas pedal starts to feel less smooth and moves in segments so you need too keep oiling it. The brake pedal is simple and nothing too do but the clutch feel horrible. The clutch bite doesnt feel nice at all, i also came from heusinkveld pro pedals and ive took the simagic clutch off and im using the HE pro one. The brake is amazing and what your paying for really.

[@chepilevski]

Oh bro , how didn’t had those problems till now but I will definitely contact you wen they arrive 🤛

[@voongnz]

As for the hydraulic brake, I don't see the need for fluid change as you're not gonna see high temps and break down the oil and absorb moisture. If for some reason it does need changing, a dot3 or dot4. For anything else, lubrication at the pivot points with silicone as with any other pedal set should do good.

[@ManuBecerr]

Hi! What is your opinion after 2y? Any issue with hydraulic system? Thanks a lot

[@chepilevski]

Still one of my favorite and top suggested pedals! Most of the guys in the league I race use them and everyone is happy 🤛

[@ManuBecerr]

@ thanks!

[@alessandroteoli]

Hello, I just would like to know, ho can I see the difference between 100 kg and 200 kg load cell?

[@chepilevski]

There is no difference and what can be achieved with 200kg load cell can be achieved exactly the same with 100kg ! That is more about pedals design and what load can be set to the actual pedal plate ! It is just geometric matter!

[@tomaszbilski5820]

Guys... Its an old video but I hope somebody finally answer my question. Do you experience very loud spring noise? Like in old bed. Its so annoying for me. Pedals are great but this noise... Apart of that I am very happy. Of course noise is not a problem if I drive using audio system also loud. Driving BMW M1 is a pleasure with simagics.

[@chepilevski]

Hey buddy, take a Bart the spring and there are little plastic washers which makes that sound! Take them off and problem must be solved!

[@t2sugars393]

Heusinkvelds Ultimates are king imho

[@chepilevski]

I think that too and I’m testing some really crazy pedals which will be good competition for the Ultimate 😃

[@Simlife101]

@Race Beyond Matter Hi Mate I think me and you both have our springs set up wrong so simagic tell me. When they ship they ship as blue spring goes on first then the softer yellow spring but for some reason you and me both changed it too Yellow first then Red but yellow is the softest so it should go last. I noticed when messing having the hardest spring on last meant it never compresses. I changed mine and now it feels MUCH better. If you go too 2:03 of this video you show how the pedals arrived. See how the harder spring goes on first set up from factory? They put the blue harder spring on first then the yellow softer spring, as the spring strength goes from softest to hardest as Yellow,blue,red then hardest being green. Can you ask Simagic your self and see what they tell you. Cheers mate

[@chepilevski]

Good you spot that brother! I’m testing another pedal’s but wen I put back the Magic I will test that for sure 🤛

[@Roboterblut]

@Race Beyond Matter Great Review, just one question... it is hard to see on the video, is there some kind of "pre travel" (simulating the pad to disc gap on a real brake) on the break pedal like there is on the HE if you use the spring on the brake pedal? And if there is, is it adjustable on the simagic?

[@chepilevski]

I know what you mean and not buddy! The loadcell is directly attached to the springs and as you touch the pedal you start applying brake force immediately! You can creat that gap with the software applying death zone but the pressure will be linear not as the pros with soft gap and then hard pedal !

[@Roboterblut]

@@chepilevski thx for your detailed reply, this is a bit unfortunate for me since this gap is very important for me personally. But the pedals still look awesome, maybe if I can snatch a set and will try them against my HE Ultimate+

[@chepilevski]

A teammate of mine got one of these. They broke down after three weeks! Okay it's annoying but of course things like this can happen with every product. BUT: the spare parts are shipped from china to the distributor in the EU and this will take 4 Weeks! When those parts have arrived it will take another week for repair. This is just unacceptable. People should think about this, before ordering simracing equipment, especially if they are doing league-racing

[@chepilevski]

Thx for pointing this out buddy! For people like us is unacceptable indeed! I remember I had years ago problem with my Fanatec wheel but I raced is very hard championship for 10 000$ and ask them to send me as quick as they can new one and they needed week which was disaster for me ! Lucky I had a friend who had old wheel and send it express to me ! For most of us is not just a game !

Great video bro!!! Heel and toe is comfortable with this throttle plate? Or you think that sport plate is necessary?

As a happy Simagic Alpha Base customer i thought about the Simagic P2000 pedals. But now that the Asetek SimSports Invicta pedals are available for pre order, i think i will buy the Asetek SimSports Invicta. It seems to have the better technology for the brake. As i only race in ACC the 2 pedal version is sufficient for me. I think there is no competition in this price segment at the moment. It should serve me well in the long run.

The hydraulic always have the risk even if those are closed and don’t need any maintenance! I haven’t tested the Simforge and I really can’t give clear answer to buddy but all I can say is the Simagic really feels different then any other load cell pedals I ever tested and they really feels awesome!
