My experience with the Sigma Cortex converter 

[@thetechgentleman]

Just bought the Alpha 15nm, GTS wheel, sigma cortex and P1000 pedals. So hyped!

[@DonsShed]

Thanks so much for the video 😊 I solely play on PS5, so your videos are hugely helpful. I have already ordered (but not yet received) an Alpha 15nm, GTS Leather wheel, Sigma Cortex, P1000 pedals, DS-8X Shifter and TB-1 Handbrake for my first ever rig..... and already have received (but not built) my Trak Racer TR120 with 55" LG TV..... and I'm soooooo tempted to now order a GT Neo and Simagic USB Hub too!!!! LOL..... I've Subscribed to your channel!!! 😊Cheers Don, Perth Western Australia (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)

Finally someone who helps people. Also know gt7 ffb has gogten worse the sigma made things better but then gt7 came out with an uodate that reduced ffb in there game alot. Its effected all bases. Any other game will feel amazing.

[@TheEPICskwock]

I got everything work so excited! Only problem is that the wheel sometimes goes crazy when trying to go straight. It will ocilate left and right. It doesnt do this when i play sim racing games on my pc so i was wondering what settings do you use to fix that? Also what FFB settings do you use in game?

[@jaythehybridyt9031]

Try lowering the ffb to 40-50% on the converter. You can max it out in gt7 settings.

[@Silverturky]

Alright cool so.. i have questions. 1. I have a fanatec csl elite ps4 and i have a SRM emulator. Do u think i could connect my GT Neo to this separately and use it for button input while using the fanatec base to drive? 2. Is this only for simagic bases? 3. Is the simagic hub a requirement? Or can i use any usb hub?

[@jaythehybridyt9031]

It’s designed to work with a Simagic base using a Simagic hub. I don’t think that would work out well.

[@jimpanse4880]

Have you tried ACC with firmware v1.1.5 ? My Simagic Wheel GTS on Simagic Alpha Mini turns automatically to the right when starting a race 😭 No problem with firmware v1.0.20 but this firmware simulates a Logitech G29/G923 and not a DirectDrive wheel (Fanatec DD Pro).

[@chambefrog]

Hello. Thanks for the video. Can we calibrate the buttons on the PC software (color and function) so that it works on ps5 for playing ACC or gt7. If you play ACC, can you calibrate the buttons in the game ?

[@jaythehybridyt9031]

Color yes! You can do that in the sim manager software on pc. What do you mean by function? Key bindings?

[@chambefrog]

@@jaythehybridyt9031 Thanks yes, can you change the key binding of the buttons in the game on ps5? If you customize the colors on the pc software, it works in ps5 games ?

[@jaythehybridyt9031]

@@chambefrog colors are saved to the wheel. They will carry over. I never tried to change bindings unfortunately.

hola tengo toda la configuracion simagic (pedales p1000 con la vibracion, alpha mini, qs1, ths) apreto el boton ps en el aro gt neo y no detecta controlador... la version del sigma cortex es 1.1.15

[@TheEPICskwock]

Do you think this will work on PS5 if i havs a different brand of pedals? For example simagic alpha mini base combined with thrustmaster T LCM pedals?

[@jaythehybridyt9031]

Unfortunately it won’t work.

[@TheEPICskwock]

​@@jaythehybridyt9031thanks for your advice. Just bought the p1000 pedals because of this. Thank you for telling me so that I avoided buying the sigma cortex converter first and not being able to use it until i got the p1000's :)

[@GTALLDAY16]

If I’m correct, this would’ve been possible by also using the drivehub and gimx adapter along with the sigma cortex. This is what I plan to do with a simagic wheel/base combo with fanatec v3 pedals.

[@GTALLDAY16]

I’ll buy matching pedals once I sell my fanatec dd and McLaren GT3 rim to simplify things.

[@DonsShed]

I am getting the entire Simagic Ecosystem and Sigma CC for my PS5...... would you say I would need to plug in each item separately into my PC to update the Firmware and Settings or could I just use the Simagic USB Hub and connect the base straight into my PC to update the Firmware?..... I believe that you can plug the Sigma straight into a PC too???..... Note: my PC is old and only has USB 2.0 and is NOT a gaming PC.... will I be ok to update Firmware on it? Will I need USB 3.0 points? Sorry for all the questions LOL.... Cheers Don, Perth WA (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)

[@paweswistara1052]

hello, do i need usb canbus hub to connect it? I thought that i need only sigma cortex and my ps5 can't recognize p2000 and calibrate them

[@jaythehybridyt9031]

I use the canbus hub and everything works.

[@timdiesel9470]

can I use the Sigma Controller just for the pedals? Because I have a Fanatec Wheelbase and it is PS5 compatible, only the P1000 is not! Thanks

[@jaythehybridyt9031]

I don’t think so

[@DonsShed]

I believe the Sigma Cortex is only for if you have the whole Simagic Suite/Ecosystem. So no, sorry, I don't think it will work.

Hey, do know if the sigma cortex and all the simagic gear will work properly on WRC on PS5?

I don’t have WRC, it does work for The Crew Motorfest. Someone in simagic discord will know the answer. Simagic has a Facebook group that’s very helpful as well.

How did you get the gt neo to connect to ps5 I keep pressing the buttons you said towards the end and nothing the sigma is on v1.1.5

[@jaythehybridyt9031]

Is the whole setup simagic?

[@kennylee2860]

Can u explain what firmware what improved the ffb ? The sigma firmware ?

[@jaythehybridyt9031]

It’s a lot more smoother. The force feedback for previously firmware wasn’t as smooth. They pretty much cleaned up the ffb with this recent update.

[@kennylee2860]

@jaythehybridyt9031 are u referring to simagic firmware or sigma ?

[@synthetichappiness7564]

I have the Alpha 15nm DD, for GT7 on PS5. The wheel shakes back and forth forcefully and it does my head in. I have the central dampeners at max which reduces it a little, but it's very annoying having the wheel constantly shake. Does anyone else have this issue and if so is their a solution? I've been digging for months and people say it can't be fixed but I'm determined to find a solid answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@jaythehybridyt9031]

[@jaythehybridyt9031]

@@synthetichappiness7564 if that doesn’t work the strength in GT7 should be maxed out on the menu(I believe it’s 10) only use the convertor to dial it down (try 40-50% ffb). I did notice prior to the update in this video that once I reached a higher percentage, the notching left to right began. You can slowly bring it up if needed.

Will the cortex work with acc in this last update?

[@MartijnM1981]

@JayTheHybridYT

[@jaythehybridyt9031]

Yessir, it reads as a fanatec device. So anything that will work with fanatec is optimal.

You need to update all equipment on pc before using. That can be done with simagic simpro manager software.

[@kennylee2860]

@jaythehybridyt9031 does the simpro manager requires a powerful computer to run? Can u explain how to do the update? Do I need to update the pedals ,wheels & base all separately or all in one go?

@@kennylee2860 what kind of pc? I don’t know if you can update on a MacBook. Updating is very easy. Base is plug into pc and detected in software. It will tell you what needs to be updating individually from direct usb connection. Everything will have a firmware update. You will want to calibrate the pedals, handbrake, shifter etc.
