Hori Truck Control System Review

[@deonardjuett3742]

I've been using my Hori Truck System for about a week now and have it on a rig. And I must say what a different it makes. It definitely adds to the realism and immersion and is well worth the price. I have no complaints and love using it. Whether you drive manual or automatic transmission it works great and I highly recommend it. My previous setup I used a Logitech G29 but using the Hori Truck System is a step up.

[@DONphantasmo]

I think my only complaint is the lack of backlit shifter. Very difficult to see in a slightly darker game room (specially when being blasted by a bright screen). Other than that, I think it is worth the price...

[@jonathanbair523]

@@DONphantasmo Have you tried this set up on Farming Simulator 22 by chance? I do allot of the support stuff like grabbing the extra seeds to fill the planter, haul crops from the field to silo then to sell points... While my friend dose all the field work in her tractor doing the fertilizer spreading, planting, running the harvester.... BTW I also play ATS so just wanting to get a idea if it will only work with ATS or if it will work with FS22 also..

[@Lorfarius]

@@DONphantasmo could you maybe try a small USB reading light to brighten the immediate area around it?

[@DONphantasmo]

@@Lorfarius Yeah. That might work. For now, I just play with the room lights on.

[@lootamatic]

Really appreciate how you walk through the features while actually playing the game. Most reviews only cover the basics and move on. I started playing ETS2 on keyboard and then moved to a very cheap wheel. And I enjoyed the game regardless how I played it. Hoping to upgrade to a better wheel soon.

[@DONphantasmo]

Hey, same here. IMO, the game is HORRIBLE on a keyboard. I upgraded to an Xbox controller and it was a little better. Then, I upgraded to a Thrustmaster. This is a bit more "ATX/ETS2" specific (well, also Mud/Snow runner). I don't see myself playing Forza or AC with this wheel, lol

[@hithere7382]

@@DONphantasmo It's ok if you change the steering response to .82 in the controls. It's also good for controller people and the Steam Deck.

[@GamingWithURO]

one thing I think a lot of people forget is that this isnt just a wheel. It's a truck wheel, Pedals, Shifter, Splitter shift topper, and a button box in one big kit. Start pricing all these out and you'll see that the price is not bad at all. 👍👍

[@benhollywood5321]

For truck and bus games this is all and exactly what we need, and the price will eventually fall to 499€$ too, which is triple less than moza truck ecosystem. Hori setup is compact and complete, the wheel is twice better looking and more functional than moza one.

[@metromaster2010]

This is a great review, and I really appreciate it, because my module is due today. So your views have given me a head start on what exactly to expect. The tip about placing the box behind the pedals to immobilize them is priceless. Thanks for sharing. Happy Sim-trucking

[@DONphantasmo]

Hey... Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. I'm just starting out, and hopefully getting a better quality video will eventually come.

[@DannyDan2k13]

Just fyi the engine vibration force feedback is a truck sim thing, it's in the force feedback settings and I have it on something like 5% so I'd advise turning your wheel force feedback up again and turning this setting down and you'll have much better road feel

You answered all my questions and gave me a good look at it all, i couldn't have asked for a better review.

[@johnbower7452]

So looking forward to getting mine on Saturday week apparently, it's come forward twice since I pre-ordered it. Can't wait. 😁

[@Frankestein01nl]

I've been looking forwards to finally seeing user-reviews on this product. The main point i'm getting from this is that it might be better not using shoes on the pedals, to get a bit more feel for the setup. The rotation is indeed pretty accurate, you might want to adjust the ingame wheel rotation simulation to 1800 as well (think it's in the gameplay option), and the sensitivity bar to the right, the non-linearity all the way to the left. (i saw you driving straight, with the hori almost pointed 90 degrees to the left... which i think might be the linearity. Thanks for the review though, much appreciated, taking it slow and with your good microphone/camera setup, the quality comes across very well. The Shifter actually sounds alot more solid than i expected, seeing i only saw one other user review, and just the Ets2 guys testing it before it even got in the consumers hands. And nope, not buying it, as my setup is already complete: DD-wheel with a max of 2160degrees rotation, heusinkveld sprint pedals and th8rs shifter with almar SKRS shifter... Well, basically set up for racing, with the additional trucking addons through the years... now if Hori wouldhave built this thing 6 years earlier, i would probably have bought it. Thanks again for the video, enjoyed that.

[@DONphantasmo]

It's a huge step up from a logitech or thrustmaster wheel with a makeshift H-shifter. If you're just starting out, this is only a little more expensive than you piecing everything new. But, if you don't have the funds, getting a used wheel will do the job very well.

[@jamesdgamingtv]

I’ve pre-ordered one arriving on 12th October looking forward to it! Thank you for your review 😉

[@The_One_Over_There]

Very good review, covered pretty much all aspects. I am waiting for mine middle of October, it's going to be a week off work :P.

[@RudiKeersemaker]

Little thing: you can set ETS2/ATS rotation angle to 1800 degrees, so it matches your HORI wheel. Great video!

[@DONphantasmo]

Yes, I don't think I said that. Mine is set to 1800 and it mimics the wheel pretty well. Thank you very much

[@EMIN-hf6ew]

It was necessary to make control buttons on the side of the gearbox so that the stick would not interfere with pressing the buttons. If you could have guessed, then it would have been great.

[@celeroon89]

I was a bit worried about the ffb, but this review has made me convinced 🙂 thx

[@cafeine]

about the pedals grip, I think that putting something like anti slip carpet underlay would solve this easy and cheap.

[@DONphantasmo]

Yeah, I really have to. Right not, I'm just putting the box behind it. It's working for now.

[@jasonnicholas3722]

I saw this wheel set up recently and it peaked my curiosity. Thank you for your honest review. I've noticed more and more wheels, button boxes, gear shifters and handbrakes are being manufactured specifically for Europe/American truck simulator drivers. It took these manufacturers long enough to realise how popular these two titles are. With regards to this setup, the pedals look really cheap and nasty and I'm still using the timeless logitech G27. For me. Well I built my own rig. I bought the indicator/wiper stalk set manufactured by Obokidly, which fitted straight onto the logitech G27 with ease. It has self cancelling indicators and you have the option of buying upgrades which includes a retarder lever, start button and cover. In my case I didn't like the original logitech wheel, but why would I, it is the stupidest size for trucks. I could have bought a larger wheel off ebay, but I decided to fit a wheel out of a Volvo XC90. I used a router to remove some of the aluminium from it's centre and after drilling a couple of holes, it fitted straight onto the aluminium hub on the obokidly indicator/wiper stalk kit. I ran some wires through the small hole on the steering shaft and after a few days of soldering and pulling my hair out, I fitted buttons and bulbs so that buttons fitted to the volvo wheel control the cruise control and radio. I also built my own switch panel. KZbin video to follow.

[@DONphantasmo]

Wow, that sounds amazing. I would love to see a video on that, and am very curious as to how much it costs to do what you have done?

[@N3ver100]

1:50 thats actually super awesome.. i use a T150 with a tablet set up as dashboard and emulating the controls through simhub and then setting in all in game was a really long and tedious process which i messed up numerous times. Having the controls work out of the box is really amazing. Also 650 usd might seem a lot for a belt or gear driven wheel, but the "same" DD setup from moza, R5 with extra pedal, tsw truck wheel and stalks that go under the wheel is 1200 usd without a shifter which is another 180 usd and it still does not have a table clump with which you could angle the wheel. What i am afraid of is the pedal set and the shifter. If this wheel would work with my t3pa pedal set and i could take the shifter off and just use the button box because i already have a modded th8a shifter.. i would be the happiest person this upcoming christmas.

[@DONphantasmo]

MAAANNNN.. You hit it RIGHT on the head. I cannot agree more!!!

[@robertsmith-fj2rx]

Go down to the hardware store and spend a couple of dollars on some sticky back non slip furniture pads for carpet...stick them to the bottom and the pedals will never move again. My Logitech pedals had exactly the same problem on carpet. I am now looking forward to the Hori wheels release in Australia.

[@MrKingNemesis]

Thanks for the video. I have a quick question about the gearshift. I'm surprised that it's designed like the one in the car. Shouldn't a truck only have 4 gears + reverse + LL? Also, would 1st gear be where 3rd gear is in a car? Then you shift up to 4th and then you can shift up with the lever and back into 1st so that you are in 5th. Furthermore, all these 10 gears are 1x low and once high, resulting in 16 gears. I hope that was understandable... Is this also changeable so that I don't have to shift 1-6 like you did in your video? Thanks for your feedback

[@jdwarferc3754]

Very informative video, thanks! Can't wait to get mine in november!

[@Lorfarius]

when I bought my logitech wheel a few years ago I picked up a set of springs for the pedals. Really helped with immersion as they felt like the real thing.

[@DONphantasmo]

Yeah, I will see if I can get some so I can make them feel better

[@SoleEpiphany]

I see a filament dryer, I bet you could print something that would use the bolt threads for mounting to a sim rig to make some anti slip, definitely and oversight on their part. Awesome review, thanks for taking the time man

[@DONphantasmo]

Yeah, I have like, 8 printers. I can print something for it. For now, I put the box behind it and it is working. I think I'm just enjoying it too much to worry about designing and printing something for it. LOL. Thanks for your encouraging words. It's very appreciated

[@SoleEpiphany]

@@DONphantasmo no worries, I do have a question on your force feedback settings. I’ve heard people fighting with it but yours seemed very smooth while straightening out your truck it brought the wheel back as it should. Would you mind telling us what settings you are using?

[@fredfrancis4978]

I'm glad you got one that doesn't have the Force Feedback steering issue. But for mine, when using Force Feedback the wheel slips, like the gear tooth was missing, when I was turning left. I know another person of reddit who experienced the same issue, and he's got a replacement coming.

[@johnbower7452]

For a few years now I've had my Logitech G29; even a few years ago bought a proper converted truck shifter with Range and split so all up probably spent most of that 500 GBP for mine on that setup. So with this having everything on it I agree, I think it's more than worth it. Just wonder if it will fit my stand or not. If not the pedals won't be an issue for me as I have a small desk with a kind of rest across the back that the pedals will go up against. I have more issues staying put myself with my chair being on wheels. 🤣🤣

[@therifle]

Thanks for your review bud, was really infomative, great job!

[@DONphantasmo]

Thanks man. I'm sure my videos will get better eventually. But, I wanted to give an honest review from someone who isn't sponsored.

[@the_omg3242]

I think if I was designing a product like that I'd be tempted to put the view control stick on the shifter or the turn signal stalk. Must be awkward to adjust the view with the one on the wheel if you're backing up with the wheel turned. Ever since I went from a controller to a G29 I've been annoyed about having to reach for the mouse to adjust the external camera.

[@frankenberry9670]

It sounds to me that this is a nicely integrated package. Things that could have been mentioned: 1. Is there any provision for switching wheels; 2. Can you adjust wheel height or angle; 3. Build quality, plastic or metal; 4. How are the gimbals constructed, hall effect, plastic or metal; 5. Over impression on switch quality; and 6. Does it have threaded holes for mounting on Sim rigs;

[@DONphantasmo]

I will do a part 2 and include some of these. Thank you for some wonderful feedback.

[@frankenberry9670]

@@DONphantasmoI have been lusting after a Moza TSW R9 setup which also became available recently. The comments on one of its reviews mentioned the Hori offering. In my mind Hori seems to win out on the quantity of buttons front, looses on the modification for other purposes and adjustments fronts and its up in the air on the build quality front. Judging simply from videos and pictures it seems Hori is mostly plastic while Moza is mostly metal. Whats under the hood is more important to me than the outer covering. A good example of that is the Thrustmaster Warthog joystick. Its metal on the outside and a plastic gimbal on the inside. That's not what I expect from a system costing over $500 USD. Hori wins on price however I am willing to pay a premium for good quality and longevity. So I would say in summary , sigh and arrrgh ;-).

[@paulfearn4905]

I'm still waiting for mine from Amazon, it was supposed to arrive on the 11th. You could place some carpet grips on the bottom of the pedals base or for hard floors rubber grips. For the retarder I purchased a USB pedal for the floor to make it more realistic. Great video and I can't wait to get mine.

[@DONphantasmo]

Enjoy; Paul

[@woodsbikes6130]

Something that might help with securing the pedals could be to Velcro them to the floor or use double-sided carpet tape.

[@Kawiboy]

Appreciate the review my Friend 👊 Seems like a solid unit alround .. ✌️

[@DONphantasmo]

It's decent. Not perfect and not really great. But, for what you pay to get pre-mapped buttons, shifter, large steering wheel with lots of buttons, and a (albeit crappy) pedals, I'm decently happy.

[@ollie9790]

The wheel itself looks to be a nice quality. Does the leather feel soft (realistic), or is it more solid feeling like a G29? Obviously, for the price, $650 is a lot, especially as it’s gear driven as opposed to Direct Drive. But for truck sims, which this is for, I don’t think DD is really needed. I’d imagine if they went that route, the price would have been even more excessive! The real let down however is the pedals. Not only is the base tiny, but there is no grip to the floor whatsoever. Surely someone in the design team must have thought a completely flat plastic base is unsuitable - at least have some grips to create some sort of friction!!! Overall though, it’s good to see this and Moza’s attempt of opening up the market for this type of wheel. Hopefully it encourages more to be made in the future!

[@dustojnikhummer]

I would argue with the amount of buttons its fair, considering you don't need 4 different USB peripherals to get all of that.

[@The_One_Over_There]

Yeah but like you said, DD for just ETS2 and ATS (Which i use my wheel for 90% of the time). Just seems unnecessary. Plus, I've looked up what a basic set of DD, plus wheel, plus button box, plus shifter, would cost so i'd have some similar in terns of buttons and such, And i kept ending up with prices that were considerably more expensive. So for what it does offer, In this economy. I too don't really feel like it's all that odd.

[@DONphantasmo]

I agree with everything you said.

[@trevorstolz8580]

I work in oil and gas in Northern Canada and I am middle aged. I have seen older truck drivers in their 70's who deliver chemicals for us. They do it as a retirement job as it is not such a demanding job and they don't have a boss standing behind them at work all the time. Also, they can often do it part time. I am wondering, does using a truck simulator and the hardware in this video help you to learn how to driver a commercial truck before you learn on the road or is it really not that useful? I'd like to know one way or the other. Although I'd like to continue working where I am now, I wouldn't mind getting my licence and maybe prepare for a post-retirement job. Also, I word 12 hour shifts, two weeks on, two off. I have two weeks off every month. If I got my licence, I could possibly work part time and gain some experience before I decide to do it on a more regular basis. What are you thoughts? Constructive comments are greatly appreciated! (Yes, I can drive a standard transmission car just fine. :)

[@DONphantasmo]

Man... That's one of the best questions I have had to answer. Here's my honest answer. I started playing this game for fun. I learned things like, how to take wider turns, how to back up and park, etc. Things that aren't the same as driving a regular automobile. When I started getting my Commercial Driver's license, my instructor was AMAZED on how "quickly I picked everything up". He would ask me how I knew how to navigate easily, back up, and make the turns. He said I picked it up much quicker than most of his other students. I explained to him that I play ATS and he laughed at me, and said "NO WAY". After a lot of explaining, he was pleasantly surprised. So, short answer is yes, it will help you a little bit. Similar to having a Flight Simulator and a yoke/throttle/rudders at home. It's not the exact same, but it will keep your muscle memory trained. I hope this helps.

[@elkamynante]

As a 32yo real-life truck driver I was waiting for a truck-system since 2010😂. I will pay even more for a good one actually only to "have&feel" my truck right inside my home😂. Thanks for the review! I'm waiting for the announced Moza DD truck-system only because I'm a mental-sick MF 😇and I spend a lot of my money for "the best" (and very expensive shit) on the market but this Hori in my opinion it's a perfectly excellent system update for all those who are just normal and "sane" virtual-truck-drivers😊 And btw I've seen some comments regarding the "plastic junk".... Well guys, we've been using plastic from ever didn't we? Any of you had problems with that until now? Guess not. I was using the G923 for years and it's still like new. So don't bother listening those "all knowing" junk speaking, they only want to play smart in front of others! I assure you this Hori will make you happy!!! Good truckin' out-there you all!

[@DONphantasmo]

I don't know if they'll ever come out with a DD set-up, just because of the price. I don't think the market is going to allow for it to be made. People are already complaining about a 600$ price-tag. If they make a DD unit with good Feedback, it'll be over 1K and probably not really going to sell much. And, as we know, they are in it for the money, my friend...

I'm not sure about the "mountain" screws. I don't know what that is. But, the feedback is adjustable. I turned mine down a lot. I say if your kids want to play, turn it down and let them enjoy... I don't see why they would have a problem turning the wheel with the feedback turned down..

@@UnwellGaming yes. I said 1080 but I meant 1800. Also, in my humble opinion, it is worth it to upgrade to this, and I’m keeping my thrust master however I’m probably gonna get rid of it eventually.

Important note about "it works with Snowrunner" ... Force feedback and shifting currently do not work with Snowrunner according to Hori's compat list. Hopefully that'll change at some point, but Snowrunner in notoriously bad at that on other wheels as well so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Great review video. I feel like this system is good, but it’s really too expensive. At present, it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement. I feel that we should wait for the launch of the second or third generation products. It might be the best time to buy. In addition, it is recommended that the game scene during the demonstration operation should be bright during the day. Avoid dark in-game situations that make it difficult to see how you interact with the game content. p.s I use Google Translate, please forgive me if the meaning is wrong.

[@ItsRyan.]

Are you still happy with the system? I have one ordered for December delivery but hearing a lot saying it’s cheap plastic and get the Moza setup. Not sure what to do

[@DONphantasmo]

Yes, I am very happy with it. It isn't worth it (for me) to get the Moza set-up because I don't think the extra money is value-added for me. If you have the Moza wheel base and pedals already, I do think the Moza upgrade is worth it, though. If you don't have it, and you are willing to spend almost (or more than) a grand, then go for it. But, I am not a professional gamer, I pay for these things out of pocket. Yes it is cheaper feeling than, let's say the Moza. But, you are paying $600 for a pre-mapped steering wheel, pre-mapped shifter with a lot of buttons, and a (crappy) 3 pedal system.

I had this on pre-order but just recently cancelled my order, this video has confirmed I made the correct decision for me I think. No grip on the pedals and the cable coming out the back so if you jam something behind it could get damaged was a slight issue but the big one is accessing the buttons behind the gear stick looks too hard especially when the gear stick was pushed forward. Maybe wait for a V2 and hope they fix these problems.

More to the left and your head is out of the driver side window. Turn slightly to the right to see the right side view mirror and so on. Look straight forward and you’re looking right at the road. I use my keyboard for other functions and map basic switches to the steering wheel buttons like cruise control, starter, park brake, lights, windshield wipers, signal lights, high and low beams and other functions. You should really look into using the webcam for head tracking. It makes things a lot easier. Great review.

[@DONphantasmo]

I will play it in VR tonight, and eventually I will end up getting a head/eye tracker like all the cool kids

[@ItzHussain]

Great review, i may consider it for the future but not at the moment just too high for a college student 😂 Also some feedback on your video, you should invest in a good camera your videos are amazing but thats just lacking slightly! Liked and subscribed!

[@DONphantasmo]

I actually have a couple of decent cameras. I just lack the knowledge and professionalism to get them to be good enough. This is just a hobby for me. I will (hopefully) get better. I may also make videos about my weird likes, like scooters, cars, and motorcycles. Longer ones that involve maintenance, riding, exploring, etc. Or flying my PPG. But, like I said, I lack the knowledge, know-how and professional acuity to get it done (at this moment).

[@Allium_369]

I’d like this wheel and shifter. Can we add it to a dd base and different pedals?

[@DONphantasmo]

No clue honestly. I would love to use my Thrustmaster pedals. I think they are much better than these ones.

[@RemnantsOfBeauty]

Hi, great video. Just wondering how smooth the steering wheel is? Is there any clunkyness to the rotation or is it very smooth? Also, im guessing theres no way to adjust the angle of the steering position? Seems fixed. Thanks.

[@DONphantasmo]

Yeah, it has some grit to it. Just like my logitech and my thrustmaster wheel. So, I'm kinda used to it. I think a DD would be much better, but also much more money. Most people are going to be OK with the chunkiness given the "lesser" price tag.

[@KYLadd]

Can you put a different wheel on the base, if you wanted to switch games or is pretty only used for truck simulator

[@ditterssubaru]

Why is there no lights on the hori pack and i love hori and how can put out the safety off the collision distens

[@DONphantasmo]

I have no idea how to answer either of those questions. I don't work for Hori, so I don't know why there is no lights. And I just don't understand the second question

[@Seba11PL]

[@DONphantasmo]

Hey.. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate that!!!

[@JamesMichaelTaylor]

Great, thorough review - thank you!

[@zflatliner2786]

How do you run that shift in Eaton Fuller 18? First gear you showed would be reverse and 2nd gear would be low low.. can you set it up for 18 speed trans?

[@DONphantasmo]

I have it with whatever the stock setting are. Which are confusing a little. First is left and up (where R would be), Third is left and down. Reverse is all the way to the right and down. I think it is set up like a sports car. I know it'll upset a lot of people. But, I don't care enough to re-map it. Which would be very easy, but I won't bother.

[@WithoutNumbers]

Cool toys and it would be even cooler if devs added an option to hide virtual steering wheel on the screen, so that on a big screen like a TV you only have the dashboard, window and everything else, but not the image of the steering wheel, since you have your own irl. UPD Judging by this video - "Picking Up Passengers From The Bus Station | ETS 2" it should already be available ATS, since in ETS 2 people play exactly like that.

[@vamp4997]

I have the Logitech G920 with the H-shifter and was fine till the buttons on the wheel stopped working. I think it a loose wire, because sometime the light about the "X" button comes on when I turn the wheel and the buttons work. The Force Feedback works the pedals work and so does the H-shifter. I have been looking at the Hori wheel since it was announced but it is around CA$800.

[@DONphantasmo]

That sucks about your wheel, hopefully you can get it fixed or even just replaced! But, this is great for the trucking games, but NOT for anything racing...

[@billesh55]

Honestly, thank you for this. I've held off of pre-ordering this because I was concerned of so many variables with the system. One thing I would love to know is, Do you find the angle of the wheel to be too upright, or just about right? As a UK based Truck Driver, the wheel just looks too upright with todays trucks to be comfortable in my opinion but I'd love to know your opinion on it.

[@DONphantasmo]

I have driven many busses and large vehicles (in the Military), and this is typical. The wheel is pretty darn close to horizontal. So, this mimics that angle decently. I'm not too worried about perfection. I am just enjoying the experience so far.

[@LeSensuel]

I really like the idea of a Truck Sim dedicatd rig, but as someone who also plays BeamNG, I’m not very happy about having to switch setup everytime, and it’s also quite expensive for someone with a limited bugdet like me.

[@deputykittay828]

If youve actually done research its not expensive, ive seen trucker setups that just for the wheel and the base its a few grand alone, not including shifter, pedals ect so all of this for less than a grand is actually really cheap. If you dont want to switch setups then this isnt really a wheel for you unless you have a dedicated area for just the trucking setup

[@AndreX_Bailey]

I will get this definitely This will be amazing with my tobii eye tracker

[@fauzisuandi1995]

Good day sir! Just wanna ask, can the wheel height be adjusted like how normal steering wheel do? Thank you in advance! Cheers!

[@fauzisuandi1995]

@DONphantasmo naww thats sad. But nevertheless, thanks for the reply! Appreciate much! Good day!

[@iFukuyama]

Have you tried it with racing games? My desk isn't big enough for two sets of wheels, and I don't want to swap back and forth. Is this better for racing and sometimes trucking or should I just stick with a normal g29 that I'm really happy with -- just wishing the wheel was bigger?

[@DONphantasmo]

I have a thrustmaster T300 with 3 pedals, the H shifter and they are much better for racing. This would NOT be my first choice of a racing steering wheel.

[@jameslost4346]

Not much said about the turn signals, just that they're amazing. Not sure about that, i've seen in other reviews that you have to push once to activate then it returns to centre position, and push again to turn blinkers off.

[@dustojnikhummer]

So it's a BMW turn signal stock? And I mean that with no joke, the joke that BMW drivers don't use them is because they return to neutral position, they don't stay.

[@DONphantasmo]

You are correct. I mean amazing to have a turn signal stock. But, yes, push to activate. It's crude but it's better than me having to map my LB to activate. Just my opinion, though. You're not wrong. It's not a conventional watch-spring mechanism.

[@hansolo8247]

Can you put it on automatic or do you have to drive stick?

[@DONphantasmo]

Totally depending on how you want to drive. Automatic or manual. You can do either.

[@edwardjan5931]

Świetna recenzja! Dziękuję! Próbowałem kierownicy Thrustmaster T300 RS i używałem jej w ETS2, ale widzę że to ogromna różnica. Chcę to poczuć na własnej skórze. Dzięki Tobie i twojemu wysiłkowi zdecydowałem się na zakup HORI. Pozdrawiam!

[@DONphantasmo]

I hope this review helped. Like I said, if you get it, your gameplay will be a little better. But, if you don't get it, it's not a big deal. You'll still play and enjoy yourself. It's just not as much enjoyment with such a small wheel.

[@EllenFromSupermarketSimulator]

How wide is the monitor your using

[@DONphantasmo]

It's a 34" monitor. It feels like a lot bigger because it is thinner

[@frankvitucci6156]

Great review, any thoughts on for about $300 more you can get a Moza R9, Truck Wheel and SRP Pedals. Do you think it is worth to save the money to get the Moza set up. This way I can eventually get another wheel to play racing sim games as well

[@SIMRIG412]

Yes definitely better to go moza route! I have all moza and a truck setup. Don’t waste your money on this hori junk

[@DONphantasmo]

Obviously a Moza setup would be much better; at least quality wise. But, for the price I paid (599 plus tax), I am happy with my purchase. Also, if I were more of a serious gamer, I probably would. But I just play to enjoy my time, relax, etc. For me, this is just right to scratch that itch. A small Logitech/Thrustmaster wheel just doesn't do it. Plus having everything pre-mapped was a good surprise, too.

[@frankvitucci6156]

@@DONphantasmo Great review and video. Great to hear you are enjoying it

[@sinkzscs]

so Moza or Hori, now that there is a Moza TSW bundle for the 599?

I'll do a part 2 soon with this in mind. But, in this case, I feel that Hori has more bang for the buck.

[@carsonmacpherson8864]

Question does the shifter go up for 18 speeds? Like an actual 18 wheeler or no?

[@DONphantasmo]

[@NickHatfield-w3f]

My button on my steering wheel don’t work but everything else works? Any suggestions?

[@DONphantasmo]

Did you install the driver first, before pugging it in?

[@JonLawVids]

It’s obviously not direct drive, and that’s the only reason I haven’t got one already. I have T500RS which I was planning on replacing with a Fanatec when it broke down, but it’s still going strong after many years! When I saw this with it’s large wheel and steering column controls I started rethinking. However, I feel I need to actually have a go to see how the FFB really holds up. I’ve got TrackIR, so that’ll free up a few controls, though with the amount it has, i don’t think I’ll need them. Now I just need to find somewhere I can try one out! Shame we’ve lost so many high street specialist shops.

[@DONphantasmo]

I think for what it is, a 600$ full set up, it's good enough to do the job. Specially in a "truck" simulator. I don't think they would ever put that money into it, since that will drive the cost up. People are complaining about the 600$ price tag already. If they had DD and a better FFB motor, and maybe FFB on the shifter, too, plus much better pedals, this thing would be 1500$ easy. Most people would never pay anything close to that.

Hi does your wheel make a grinding noise when turning?

[@DONphantasmo]

No, but it does have that standard grinding/sandy feel like all belt driven wheels have. It's not as bad, but it is there if you are actually looking for it.

[@willtriksimulator]

I'm curious, I'm from Brazil, does this Hori truck system already have the factory buttons configured?

Yes. I think I said it in my review, pre-mapped buttons on the wheel and shifter. I literally just plugged it in and started playing

[@Dr4g0nW00d]

I noticed a huge amount of flex in that steer wheel tjeezus the way you lean oned and that movement was scary tbh I still play on my G 25 with shifter and all buttons I ever need and use set up

[@DONphantasmo]

the bit of flex is because the wheel is much bigger, so longer distance between the braces. I don't really notice it when I'm using it to drive. But, if it bothers you that much, this might not be the wheel for you

[@roanegaming]

G'day mate, not trying to have a go at you but your settings are out a bit, you can tell by how much your turning the wheel and how much the in game steering wheel turns they don't match and you don't need to use the clutch after you move off just like IRL, I would readjust your settings and try again and you will find that the wheel will feel so much better. The only thing I don't like about this is the buttons behind the shifter are quite hard to get to.

[@DannyDan2k13]

Actually when he does the U turn both his wheel and ingame goes 2 and a half turns to lock, but I think hemight have his steering non-linearity turned up becuase it does look odd. I think it's clear this guy isn't a trucker irl so he may not even be aware how to to float gears in a big rig so I don't think it's unreasnable for him to be running basic manual

[@roanegaming]

@@DannyDan2k13 G'day Danny, yes your right about it matching the complete radius but like you said it is the linearity that looks off because half way through the wheel rotation it does not match up, The clutch is just my OCD as this is a simulator I just think it should be played that way lol, like I said not having a go at Romeo's Relics he has made a great vid here as not many people that did vids on the Hori showed as much detail. 🙂

[@DannyDan2k13]

@@roanegaming Yeah fair enough. Personally I have it on full realistic gearbox so float the gears 90% of the time (unless I f it up and have to reset with the clutch haha). I like it because as a brit unsynchronised gearboxes are almost none existent here so it's fun to drive in a way that doesn't exist here. Ngl when I go back to ets2 and have to use the clutch constantly it does make me miss floating in ats
