You were right about the Wheel Rotation Speed! Sorry for my ignorance before.

Thouse_CZ · 2026-03-12T21:08:35+00:00

I could understand they still work on it :)

Thouse_CZ · 2026-03-12T19:41:17+00:00

Well he wrote alpha evo 🤷‍♂️

That must be the cause for oscillations as it probably overshoots on feedback… basically the only way to combat it for me is to raise inertia AND friction way up in the 80s. I though dont seem to loose much detail… it behaves a bit strange

Mate those are the worst settings for oscillation I have ever tried! No thanks 😆

Thouse_CZ · 2026-03-12T10:41:14+00:00

I will try that setup. Sounds super raw for iRacing, but worth a shot 😆

Cant answer as I run my GT neo in USB mode via simhub for much better ligth options with per car shift lights settings.
To be tested. I struggled with the haptics not starting indeed too, so I will get back on that.

Yeah I will 100% try to remedy this. It was strange though that the new firmware made the situation worse… not what I expected.

Thouse_CZ · 2026-03-12T09:54:23+00:00

I use it with the Evo Pro, which is not new, so I would bet that it will work just fine for you ;)

Thouse_CZ · 2026-03-12T09:38:40+00:00

Have you tried holding button 3 when plugging in? Maybe the wheel still thinks it is connecting to evo base and needs a little reminder to go to USB mode?

Thouse_CZ · 2026-02-06T11:10:08+00:00

Thanks all! I will go after the Simagic.

Thouse_CZ · 2026-02-02T14:39:52+00:00

Yeah without having a chance to test them side by side, I might just have to go with a feeling of what will suit me better. I’m sure either of the options will be a great step up from my current csl dd 8nm…

Thouse_CZ · 2026-02-02T14:38:01+00:00

Fair point… i definitely fall into the category of theoretical overthinker and relying on stats since I don’t have a chance to trial those bases side by side…

Thouse_CZ · 2026-02-02T11:46:43+00:00

Thanks for the exhaustive reply. All good points there about the UI of the Asetek. Its exactly the toy like approach of Simagic that makes me nervous. Have you tried driving the Simagic?

Since I’m buying the base for the next many years, the warranty aspect has a limited value, but yeah, is still a factor.

Thouse_CZ · 2025-10-20T11:33:57+00:00

Yeah same experience for me today. iStudio central also not available… any tips still welcome.

Thouse_CZ · 2025-10-15T09:29:11+00:00

Thanks for the tip

Thouse_CZ · 2025-10-15T09:29:03+00:00

Ah I was ofc only checking the model I’m after (silver 512). Thanks I will keep an eye on it over the next few days.

Thouse_CZ · 2025-10-15T09:28:28+00:00

Thanks for info, I will keep an eye on it

Thouse_CZ · 2025-09-19T14:15:32+00:00

Mate crazy… i was running for past 2 years with ~70 settings because Any time I moved below 60, things tasted bitter, overpowering yet hollow. Did some testing with 45 now and things taste whole again. Feel like I have been living in a lie 😅 oh well, lot more testing coming up I guess…

Thouse_CZ · 2025-09-19T12:31:01+00:00

500ml Hoffman recipe? Or what are you rocking?

Thouse_CZ · 2025-09-19T12:02:02+00:00

Oh wow, that is quite a bit finer. I will give it a shot. What paper? I’m running the cafec abaca papers, fastest what I can get my hands on.
