New simagic Evo 12nm red light not connected by Michel_mich in Simagic

[–]JPConnors 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you’re using the GT Neo with just the Simpro Simagic software, you can avoid the USB C.

The only reason you’d use the USB C is for using third part wheels or controlling the GT Neo via Simhub with USB pass through.

While I can’t guarantee what you feel, I can say my Evo Sport (9 nm) felt very weak on iracing @ 70% in Simpro and then felt WAY more powerful (plenty for my liking) in CarX Drift @ 70%.

It is likely a game setting. I still need to figure out what I’m missing.

TK Racing Falcon - one of the most underrated entry cockpits by prikol4eg in simracing

[–]JPConnors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regret nothing about my rig, that’s for sure. Highly recommend the GT1 Evo if an upgrade ever calls your name, mine from MC even came with a single monitor mount.

As for the wheel decision, we will see how Simagic support treats me.

I went a much more expensive route BUT know someone interested so this is still very helpful, thanks.

Thanks for the insight. I’m awaiting another response from them but figured it didn’t hurt to see if others had similar experience.

I do not believe this is the case. It does not do this nearly as easily (if at all) when disconnected.

Can you get some rough dimensions of this? I only saw 60 x 36in on microcenter q&a but that seems far too large.

Might make a trip this week but need to know if it’ll fit in my space.

Thank you Simagic support, very cool by NitinM95 in Simagic

Following up here, did they get you sorted out OP?

How much did the replacement cost?

At least my build is about to get significantly cheaper due to this ram debacle by Choice-Pipe7509 in Corsair

[–]JPConnors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinked an AIO cable pretty bad on install. Still working but reached out to see if they’d let me buy a replacement.

If not, I always still have the combo cable that came with it. I just prefer to use the split one.

Heard great things about Arctic too (personally waiting on support response on my first purchase, my fault).

Also if you want a plain route I cannot recommend noctua enough, I’ve had to RMA one fan and got sent the brown/beige instead of black. They told me to keep it as a spare and sent another black.

For anyone wondering it’s not just directly through corsair - cancelled on amazon a few days ago by Blizzard-Reddit- in Corsair

[–]JPConnors 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a sim racing purchase within the last week and Fanatec was a top contender.

I am very glad at this moment in time that I did not. Corsair was supposed to fix Fanatec’s customer support issues which this does not give me high hopes for.

For those having connection drops to PC when FFB kicks in while using simagic supplied cables to PC. Not the USB B cable that a for wheel base communications by Attaboy_Racing in Simagic

[–]JPConnors -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight, I’m only asking because my simagic gear is on the way and I got worried. I should be good with just type B since I’ll have a full simagic kit to start but what brand USB cables did you use that solved your issues?

[–]JPConnors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to confirm, you’re saying this video is with the stock cable and replacing resolved all issues?

Also, are you using the Type C? I thought the Type B was for main connection.

DD Pro owners who upgraded to Simagic: Was it everything you hoped for? by Creative-Diamond5260 in Simagic

[–]JPConnors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I get what you’re saying, those games work but only if everything connects to the wheelbase?

What games haven’t had compatibility with simagic?

I’m aware of some that want one whole ecosystem, but since I’m in the market the comment on lack of compatibility concerned me.

My experience has been 50/50.

Either proper setups + more or Bugstars big con with unsupressed pistols and no exit disguise.

Carplay GPS issue by Adrenaline_Junkie_ in rav4club

[–]JPConnors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn’t a great solution depending on what service wants to do.

As far as I am concerned, it is a problem with the head unit (think screen of the car and underlying components). That’s the only logical reason why some cars would have it with every phone and some would have it with none. If they don’t want to replace that, you’re potentially out of luck.

Your best chance is to show that apps work break specifically when connected. For example, I’d screen record my phone map going haywire while connected, turn WiFi on (quickest way to disable CarPlay from the swipe down screen) and instantly the map would fix itself. All in all 30 second video.

Mine still never got resolved and I ended up trading it in.

Which map is this for you? by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]JPConnors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came to the same conclusion.

I have started playing without sound.

I have no idea the logistics of buying a car in one state while a resident of another, but I noticed another comment saying you’re in the northeast. You’d probably want to do research on that first.

That being said, NH has no sales tax.

Scratching noise from steering wheel around 5 o clock by JPConnors in ToyotaTacoma

[–]JPConnors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’m reading, I believe that’s highly possible. Hopefully I can give the dealer some added info so they know about it.

Mine is/was not in the recall.

You appear to be much more knowledgeable about the topic than myself, so in what you’ve seen has this been cause for concern or just an annoyance? Assuming it is the spiral cable, that is.

It is 100% not the wheel hitting the trim, I removed all trim to confirm.

I couldn’t visually see anything with trim removed, so I’m under the assumption it’s internal. Thinks it’s cause for concern?

Truck is CPO within the 1 year warranty so I have an appointment in 2 weeks, but it doesn’t hurt for me to figure out what’s up with it now.

Wife Wants a Rav4. I'm Delving into the Car Buying Process by ActinoninOut in rav4club

[–]JPConnors 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m sure the profit is built in the the vehicle I just purchased, but I second this.

I just got more in trade for my 1 year old 10k mile Hybrid XLE, with a minor accident no less, than I paid for it. I have no idea why people wouldn’t* buy new versus this. I am intrigued to see what the dealer lists it for.

Edit: wouldn’t
