I have 5 inputs on the back of my r5 plus usb and power. It must have been updated, I know they have released v2's of most bases but wasn't sure if the r5 also got one but that seems to be the case. Worth mentioning to new buyers, since most likely there will be enough slots on the back.

That's interesting to know! I've purchased the R5 in the bundle last year in August, and got just 2 inputs other than usb and power.
@messiahshow6 ай бұрын
@@TheMash84 yeah it is v1, the new v2 have more inputs and since I still feel it could have both H pattern and Seq shifter inputs it would not surprise me if they make a V3 and that business model really annoys me personally. They should have planned ahead for all this stuff from the start in my opinion. It's not hard figuring out all the peripherals that other brands already have and add ports for them.

Look forward to it, I have a moza handbrake already, and well worth getting if you're into your rally sims! I can't wait to get this on ea WRC and iracing.

Got the SGP from Moza last month, it's great and it is very satisfying! The feedback feels very good and clicky, although not super realistic if compared to a real sequential. But it's great anyway :D They also updated the RS V2 wheel, they replaced the single LED bar with separate LEDS as on the GS V2P.

Wouldn't using the leaver as a handbrake make more sense? If you need neutral it's already too late so may as well map it to a button 🤷🏼♂️ But this is definitely going on the shopping list 👌🏼
@MichaelSmithRaces7 ай бұрын
@sockracer yep you can use either, I was trying to use the lever for neutral / reverse for testing in various games but I found its not well supported by the games I tried. The lever is an on off switch rather than a % based sensor so it will function exactly the same in game either way.

I spent about $450 CND for my Thrustmaster TSS handbrake/sequential shifter (plus I also have the TH8A h-pattern/sequential shifter) and it has no buttons. If Moza had this 2 years ago, depending on stock, I may have bought this one, even though it would have messed up my TM ecosystem. But you can't pass up that price. This would be an add-on if I was to upgrade my system so I could have a dedicated h-pattern, sequential and handbrake.
@MichaelSmithRaces7 ай бұрын
Yeah @shawndixon4536 Moza have really smashed it with the price to performance on this, as you say it makes more sense to own all three products with dedicated jobs, I will for sure get an h pattern next just for the fun of driving as I dont have a manual road car anymore!
@shawndixon45367 ай бұрын
@@MichaelSmithRaces I have very little experience in a real manual vehicle, so Assetto Corsa with an h-pattern shifter is so fun. I have paddle shifter and my wheel, so I am not necessarily needing a sequential, plus, I am using 5 shifter plates (or shelves) on my GT Omega Classic, many of which are not in correct places, but I figured a way to have my h-pattern, handbrake and a mini mouse tray on one side, and 2 shelves bottled together as a keyboard tray on the other the other side. So, I am not sure where I would put a dedicated sequential shifter.

There is no technical reason why this couldnt work, other than their own greed for platform lockin.

@tver7 ай бұрын
Race cars: pull = up and push = down This makes shifting congruent with the G-forces experienced during braking or acceleration. On certain road cars it is the other way around. Push (fwd) = up. Pull (back) = down. The logic there is that the direction of the shift aligns with the direction in which you want to speed up/down, with G-forces being far less of a concern. Btw.. do I spy a new pedal set on your rig?.. Review when? ;)

Stay Away from Moza - Had had nothing but problems with their products since purchases. I have the H Shifter, Handbrake, KS wheel and Hub and I run a Simucube Pro base. Their hub seems to disconnect and restart always in the middle of races and half the time you have to exit the entire game to reset and your race is over either way. Do yourself a favor and and unless you're stuck with a Moza base, stay away from this ecosystem by a mile!!!!
