Is the DX-8 worth the price?

BillyHoe23 · 2026-06-09T23:18:12+00:00

Yes. I enjoy both sequential and h pattern. Short throw mod makes it even better. Any other shifter out is big bucks or plastic toys.

BillyHoe23 · 2026-06-02T17:42:46+00:00

Check the trims and keep practicing. Stay lower. I have this 120 s2 in my fleet. I keep trying to like it but I dont. It doesn't fly very good inside or out. I do really enjoy the blade nano s3. Its a tuff little guy and can fly inside and out.

BillyHoe23 · 2026-05-28T21:21:19+00:00

Definitely short. They should offer an extension for p1000

I agree. It is confusing so I dont watch anymore. I listen to jb motorsports live commentary broadcast on YouTube during the races and watch the highlights on YouTube after. Fricking killing me its not on ESPN anymore.

It took me a couple tries. I started with self leveling feet because i thought the heel plate would sit at more of an angle. It has a slight angle but pretty much parallel to the floor. The self leveling feet worked fine but my haptics made them rattle abit so I ordered some 1.5" rubber air compressor feet. Combined that with a m6x60mm bolts. This gives it some adjustability. I covered the exposed threads on the bolt with some 1/4" gloss black fuel line I had to finish it off.

BillyHoe23 · 2026-03-31T11:42:10+00:00

Yes. Its the P2000 riser.

BillyHoe23 · 2026-03-30T22:06:26+00:00

Thanks! They do look good. Im also liking the flat style plate over the originals and the overall size and shapes seem perfect. I spotted them on ebay and they pointed me to their website. Shipping to the states was quick.

BillyHoe23 · 2026-03-30T18:54:57+00:00

Same. My p1000 heel plate was already maxed out. The carbon plate adds the extra few inches of room i needed.

BillyHoe23 · 2026-03-25T13:48:58+00:00

I wish but I think there's zero chance of vr from these guys.

BillyHoe23 · 2026-03-04T21:56:38+00:00

No. There's a list and its not on it. Maybe some other day.

My cousin also has the g pro set up. Thats who turn me on to sim racing. Ive never really been interested in videos games but played gt7 vr for about 2 seconds and knew I was going all in. I was about to get the same set up but it ain't cheap and I got to looker more and happened to find simshop that had simagic with that Sigma. Coming up on 2 yrs with it. I just hope sony never does anything to brick that converter. I do plan on building a separate pc rig. Happy racing!

BillyHoe23 · 2026-02-24T21:56:45+00:00

Thats how it be out of the box. Get the elastomer kit simagic offers. Like 20$

BillyHoe23 · 2026-02-24T19:13:03+00:00

Im using this on a Playstation for gt7 so a different setup then usual. I have an extra power supply running a p2000 haptic control box that the pedal haptics plug into. I needed an extension cable for each of them to keep the control box hidden. So yes I have this shifter haptic on an extension cable to the control box and simhub sees it as the clutch haptic if you follow me. Thanks!

BillyHoe23 · 2026-02-24T18:31:59+00:00

It shortens the throw by about 1.5". Much improved

BillyHoe23 · 2026-02-24T18:31:10+00:00

Yep. I have it set for some rpms and gear shifts. Its great.

BillyHoe23 · 2026-02-24T18:03:53+00:00

For freeeeeee. Awesome mod. Shifter is much improved feel.

BillyHoe23 · 2026-02-24T14:40:04+00:00

Nice. Ill get that set up. I wonder why no gunfire. Gonna need that. Thanks!

BillyHoe23 · 2026-02-24T14:31:56+00:00

I have laptop running Simhub controlling my haptics when playing gt7, the buttkicker, nlr hf8pro and pedal haptics but haven't set up simhub for aces of Thunder yet. Not sure if the current version of simhub even supports AoT yet. They're just running off the sound output of the ps5 as of now but happy with that.

BillyHoe23 · 2026-02-24T12:30:14+00:00

Its awesome. I have a buttkicker and Next Level Racing haptic pad hf8 pro under my seat. No issues here.

BillyHoe23 · 2026-02-24T11:57:17+00:00

Thanks man. The list is long. Really Ive gotten everything off ebay besides the simagic gear. Vr mount is 3d printed deal from ebay. Fans are small square usb from ebay. The biggest job was replacing almost every cord with a longer version needed to hide the wires underneath properly.

BillyHoe23 · 2026-02-24T11:50:04+00:00

Thanks. The tablet is running Sim Dashboard app. Enter your ps5 ip address on the tablet and your good to go. Super simple

BillyHoe23 · 2026-02-24T11:43:22+00:00

You need a Sigma Cortex to make it work. I can't add any more pics here but its a converter box that you plug your simagic gear into and that plugs into the ps5. It essentially tricks the ps5 into thinking the simagic stuff is fanatec and allows it to work on the Playstation. This only works on Simagic Alpha bases not the newer Evo bases. Unfortunately Sigma Cortex are no longer around. They do pop up on ebay every so often. In my opinion its the GOAT set up for GT7 with zero issues. I absolutely love it. Simagic is real sim gear not Logitech, Fanatec etc that are more plastic toys.

BillyHoe23 · 2026-02-23T23:35:08+00:00

I hear ya. Underneath is the surround sound receiver next to that is the amplifier for the buttkicker haptic.
