Barry, whatever the future holds, thank you for all your effort on being one of the cornerstones of sim racing gear on KZbin.

[@MikeGameOver]

This channel is proof that money isn’t what decides if a channel is popular or not.

[@Lauritsen24]

For people who wants to know were Barry is. I read this on Reddit i quote ''He lives near me, like 10 mins up the street. I bought my rig from him. Just doesn’t care and has many other interests. His main rig was set up for flight when I was there. He said at the end of the day it’s all just hardware that basically works the same and it was getting tiring. He does a lot of photography and competition rifle stuff. Really nice guy, went to buy the rig and was there for like 2 hours. Edit it was cool felt like I met a celebrity from our niche ha"

[@roderickkennedy2192]

Miss him here in the UK for sure, thorough thoughtful videos that are easy to understand, and engagingly educational, Take care sir if you happen upon this old man's comment.

[@williamboonejr8313]

Yes this is all true. I've been watching his videos for years and had no idea he lives in the same City as I. I found out about 3 months ago when I bought a handbrake from him. I was at his home yesterday. He lost interest in sim racing but he's doing great! Hope he comes back but I doubt it.

Barry I really miss your videos, would love to know if there were more on the way and your doing ok 👌

He is ok I read on redid. But he kinda lost interest in simracing. He has changed his rig to a flying simulator these days.

[@TBagger489]

Hey Berry, Thank you so very much for your indepth videos. It helped me resolve some issues i was having with my shifter.

[@Lasztmichdurch]

Miss you and your Reviews...

[@pmx360]

Hey men, you have the most complete reviews around, dont let your channel die, you can grab the world by the balls if you include few more main stream products like grafic cards, cpus, consoles, videogames etc. you already have the method!! Take advantage of this gift you have!!

[@cmbaileytstc]

You’re so calm and technically precise+ informative, really appreciate that in a sim racing channel.

[@andresrobert3059]

I have been using this shifter for the past 2 weeks, and I'm surprised by how good it is built for the price. But I have 2 complaints that may be related to my setup. The first complain is the wider throw of the shifter means that you must be careful when mounting a handbrake next to it because it will invade the space next to the shifter. I use an NLR 2.0 stand, and in the flat configuration of the handbrake, I hit my fingers every time I go into the 7th gear. This could have been avoided if they had a standard reverse and 7th gear in the same column. My other complaint concerns the spring to engage the Reverse and 7th gear. Since I play a lot of ETS/ATS, I often rest my hand on top of the shifter because I have to do a lot of gear changes. I tend to engage the spring and accidentally shift into 7th or Reverse. Also, I can use the basic shifter functionality after calibration without running the Pit House software. So there is no need to run it in the background at all times. But you do need it to do the initial calibration, and after updates, I also need to recalibrate.

[@kimguts8381]

I'm also using NLR 2.0 stand. how many bolts are to lock this Moza shifter in the NLR stand shifter holes? 2 or 4? Also what specific handbrake you are currently using? I presume the handbrake is placed on the right side that has the option for tilt configuration, right?

[@zero-lv4rd]

I have the same exact setup as you and face the same issues, I wonder if you drill some new holes for the handbrake if you could avoid hitting it

[@EduardoDeLeon-z6h]

Barry just dropping by to say hi and wish you the best! I hope you’re doing well and enjoying your days! Your videos are a benchmark for everything I am considering purchasing. Take care 😊

[@djwillx974]

Hi friend, why is there no other video ? You are one of the best channel simracing channel !!! Please don't stop your videos !!!!! ❤

[@noname-gp6hk]

I really wish there were more cars with H pattern shifters. Everything I want to race right now uses sequential or flappy paddle gearboxes instead.

[@FedericoTesta1]

Then you need to try the updated StockcarX in rf2. Really impressive

[@ommachining154]

Ams2 have a lot of H pattern cars to drive, old f1 with 6 speed H are my favorite of all

[@FireVols]

hope your ok! miss your stuff!

[@LeMamour]

Your hair blowing in the wind made the immersion feel real. Great review mate. Im really interested in this shiter.

[@DevinTolliver-g9p]

I blame all of you savages for making the man lose interest lol. Nah fr tho i understand. When u get all the high end gear and fanfare out of the way its still just a grown man playing video games. Nothing wrong with that but people lose interest in gaming easily. It usually fits at a particular time in our life's, then that time passes and gaming doesnt play the same role it used to. Hope you're doing well Barry. You are a legend!

[@lugs118]

Had mine for a couple of days and quite impressed so far. Have been using a Logitech shifter with a Leo bodnar usb adapter, so this feels much heavier but the action is positive and not missed a gear yet.

[@kiszoo1]

Hy Barry!!! I really miss your rewiew videos. I hope Everything is fine with you!!! I wish for you good health and good luck.

[@garybond3388]

always look forward to seeing Barrys videos

[@mkatakm]

These are the best reviews. Thank you very much sir 👍 So your rig includes a wind simulator too making long hair dance with the wind 😄 Can I do that with an ordinary vantilator?

[@GregoryShtevensh]

Wow, glad I found this channel! I really appreciate the details and tear down approach to this kind of hardware... Subscribed instantly haha

[@jwracingteam]

Fingers crossed Barry gets some of them fancy active pedals to put through the garage for review

[@rolux4853]

Hey man, I hope you’re good I really miss your videos since you do a thorough breakdowns which is missing on the other channels. I want to see the stuff disassembled since I’m an engineer and only that way I can gauge quality. Even if you’re doing flight gear or whatever, I’m interested in everything you take apart haha

[@keithgilbert9240]

I received my shifter & handbrake earlier to today & am loving them. The whole Moza eco-system offers very good value for what you get (IMO!) I noticed that the shifter accessories had two sets of silicone sound deadeners, so there are spares in case the other ones wear out. Would be nice to know if it was possible to get hold of, when needed. Great videos by the way!

[@stuarthamilton679]

Also for Mounting, rather than using the 2 Cross bars you used, I just put it directly onto the Alu bar and only used the 2 center bolts and it didn't works perfectly, does not need the extra horizontal support IMO.

[@SIPEROTH]

I was wondering why i didn't get to see any notification about a video from this channels and it seems nothing was uploaded for year. Kind of sad because this gave some very detailed analysis of wheelbases etc. All good things come to an end i guess.

[@gtifury310]

Hey Barry, hope you're doing ok. I think we're all wondering how you're doing?

[@11sHangar]

Saw his sim rig for sale on facebook a week or so ago. Hope he's upgrading and is doing ok.

[@8thPlaceProductions]

Wow, I really wasn't expecting that type of quality internally for the price. Had this on the list to compliment my other Moza gear, might have to expedite that purchase after your video! Thanks as always!

[@simracersedge36]

Miss ya Barry.

[@HectorYague]

Hope you are doing OK Barry, miss your videos!

[@Mr.Phesadent]

Hey Barry, absolutely love the content and you're always my #1 choice when looking into new gear! I've had my HGP for 3 months, and really don't abuse my equipment! Shifter started to feel a bit sloppy an eventually snapped. (Found multiple other users with the same issue) Personally I think it's due to the shaft material. Carbide/graphite etc vs. stainless steel. Have you heard/had any issues with yours? Thx!

[@Burntoilcoffee]

I have been looking at a Fanatec shifter to upgrade from my TH8A however now I think the MOZA shifter is a better option

[@keithbriscoe99]

Just here because I noticed I hadn't seen anything from the SRG and Barry in quite some time. Hope all is well.

[@nigelnathan]

i love your old school approach taking time to dissemble units. Now Logitech have finally brought out a pro shifter/handbrake combo and wheel hubs id value your opinion before purchasing

[@Bidle78]

Heej Barry, will you make some new videos? Maybe only to give us some closure! In the meen time enjoy flying around.

[@0lcr0]

Amazing work Barry. Thanks for the always very detailed reviews. Could you please review the Cammus 15nm wheelbase/wheel bundle? The price/simplicity/versatility for DIY is appealing, but it would be nice to know your opinion on the build and overall quality.

[@andyrobinson2653]

See if you can get a Bash Pro Active H-Shifter to review. Looks high end but reviews are sparce.

[@firehops]

when I got my shifter from moza it was fine for about 10 minutes then it had alot of side and foward to back play. when I opened the top of the shifter plate I saw the two pins that control side to side seemed to be farther apart then in the video. the foward to back play I haven't yet figured out.

[@iulian2548]

Unbelievable that they are selling it at this price! Moza is about to capture a large chunk of the simracing market with good products.

[@chrismathewsjr]

gotta say, the chinese designed/chinese manufactured stuff is so much better than the american design/chinese manufactured stuff. america fucking blows ass

[@rumontap5052]

whats happened to you barry havent had any videos in a while

[@1980VINZ]

I’m surprised by the quality we’ve got for the price. Nicely done MOZA.

[@purplejw]

Any plans to review the simagic ds-8x? looks like the best h-pattern shifter with a (in my opinion) better form factor than the prosim, bdh or mme motorsport shifters, with a much cheaper price.

[@platano4924]

Started researching and fell on the rabbit hole, very difficult to choose a system😅😅😅

Hi Barry, hope all is well. Miss your vids. They were always very well done. If you have moved to Flight sims, would you post vids of your flights. I know you have an audience here that appreciates your view.

[@iamapineapple5724]

Unrelated to the shifter, i started noticing during the testing that your hair was blowing in relation to speed. I don’t know how you managed to make that work but its a crazy detail for immersion

[@pastorraudel1261]

[@calvingsc]

Just received my shifter. Using the latest software and firmware, to calibrate it properly I had to move the shifter far left and far right a few times within the 10sec. Front and back not needed, otherwise the calibration is off.

[@SaintAngerFTW]

What are your views on "YAW2" universal motion platform? any chance you gonna review that ?

[@Godfather26]

I have this shifter out of order today. When you turn on the 2nd, 4th, 6th transmission, the shifter restarts. I think it's something with the fee. I'm going to apply for a guarantee tomorrow.

[@tapidlittle13]

Which car is that in the driving section ? I have many H pattern cars in iRacing but not that one. Great video again.

[@xavestudio4623]

got this today, thank god i have wheel stand if i put this on table i put throw away the table on how hard to shift this thing. pretty good tho loving it already, i like the clack sounds

[@HonoredMule]

If you want the operation to be quieter, I bet you could fit a piece of vinyl tubing on the shaft in place of the plastic sleeve. I think I'd rather do that than cover the number with a custom part prone to wear and relying on adhesive. $5 worth of tubing and you've got a lifetime supply of backup sleeves. That is, so long as the shifting feel is still sufficiently crisp. But I think it would be as long as the tubing is a cheap thin variety.

[@Epiphonech]

Thanks for all the details. I guess my Miata 10X1.25 knob needs an adapter

[@TheLeftybar]

Hey great content man, thank you for making these videos, you help out giving reviews on sim racing products and it really helps out. Keep up the good work, but before I go I have a question. I’ve been looking at sim wheels so i can figure out what i want next. Right now I play on Xbox and I have a Logitech G293 with a Logitech G Shifter, and before that I had a Logitech G920 that ended up breaking. The main problem is…well, there are a lot of options and its difficult to figure out a good option for what wheel I would want to get. So I wanted to ask you if you could give any advice on a good simwheel setup that you would recommend. It doesn't matter what brand it is, I'm just looking for a sim wheel setup that is compatible with xbox and has good quality and a good aftermarket support (another thing would be the ability to swap wheels easily but thats not required.) If you could give me good advice on a good simwheel setup, i’d very much appreciate it, thank you.

[@bertram-raven]

A detent on seventh gear is very common on IRL cars. I am not sure about the implementation of the gate ramps. I would expect to see them deeper in the shifter. I suppose this is to keep manufacturing costs down. For me the lack of gate ramps inside is one of only two reasons to consider the Fanatec shifter over this one; the other being the easy switch to linear shifting. The advantage the Moza has over the Fanatec is not the price, that seems right for the build, but the inclusion of USB without needing to buy a special cable.

[@darioaymat-diaz9048]

[@mrmidnight32]

[@perspolis1818]

What's your daily H Pattern Shifter Barry? Still looking for that perfect H Shifter. There are some awesome stuff out there, but you will have to refinance your home to get one. Done with the spring loaded/none adjustable shifters. They're light with no true tactical feeling. Those tiny springs get weaker over time. Another great review

[@DennisKarlsson]

He's using a Pro-Sim H pattern shifter (Quaife).

[@MuscleCarLover]

It would be nice if someone brings out a kit to reduce the stiffness with at least those ball bearings...as well as a different table clamp where it's not on top of the table, but rather a bit lower and off the end of the table Fanatec style. The combination of incredibly stiff shifts and being so high up and far away means I have to lean forward to shift and damn near take out my shoulder in the process

[@JossB875]
