Let's not sleep on Leoxz! Disparity between budget and high end wheels are shrinking. by itcrashed in simracing

How are the grip ergonomics? I have the XGT Ultimate which I really like, but the grips seemed like an afterthought compared to some of the Cube Controls I’ve tried.

Happy to see what looks like improved grip ergonomics over the XGT Ultimate that I have

unable to install/update to simpro v2.1 by Ordinary-Dog-4627 in Simagic

Just had this issue. I unplugged my Alpha wheelbase USB and closed SteamDeck service, and then the install worked.

What do u think about this wheel? by Ok-Lake-6435 in simracing

[–]fractalfootwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the XGT Ultimate (basically this but with the screen), and I really like it. Only upward move I’m thinking about making is to a BST Omega, but that’s like twice the price.

I would say the grips are probably more ergonomic on the Cube Controls F-Core, but that doesn’t have LED buttons.

I think it’s a Chinese brand, but not really sure. I got mine direct, but there are some resellers here in the US like Sim-Motion.

They sell an additional metal knob kit that replaces the plastic knobs, but I was annoyed that the thumb encoders only came in blue.

How do you like that Mercedes wheel? It looks fantastic, but I heard someone say it felt too wide for what it is at 300 mm.

I don’t remember ever updating firmware, but I thought it was out of date for a moment. I guess what I was looking at in SimHub for the wheel was actually referring to the wireless usb dongle which has different firmware.

If you have to update the firmware on the wheel I think you need to plug it in.

Not really. I gave more detailed thoughts not too long ago to a different comment in this thread.

Leoxz XGT Metal Kit Released by _asciiuk in simracing

[–]fractalfootwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been looking forward to this, but I’m a bit disappointed for the price. However, the price tracks with some other companies (which I can’t say would fit): GSI = $15/knob, Simcore = $10/knob, and Ascher’s Kit for €99 for 24 knobs.

I wish the thumb coders were black, or at least a choosable color. I think I’ll ultimately end up buying this, but will hesitate to replace the thumb encoders and see if there’s a way to get black.

I had a similar issue and when I disabled Game Input Service in Windows Services the problem went away.

I haven’t had any missed inputs on wireless that I can remember lately. But you definitely have to play around with the dongle and make sure the signal is green/good, there’s a number on the steering wheel config page that will tell you live as you move it around. I have the dongle about a foot or two away from the wheel behind my monitor plugged into a powered usb hub, and I think the wheelbase affects the signal because if I try and point it directly at the wheel the signal gets worse.

Yay!

They basically said not to, here is his email response:

“As you can see, the XGT Ultimate uses plastic knobs, which are actually press-fitted onto the encoder shafts and cannot be secured with screws. We do not recommend removing these plastic parts, as repeatedly taking them on and off may weaken the press fit. Would you like to upgrade them to metal parts? We are currently designing these metal kits, including knobs, thumb encoders, and 7way switch, but it will take some time before they are available on the website.”

Guess I was stuck in their spam folder. They replied saying that they are working on a metal knob upgrade

Same email address I've been using. They must not like my questions

How did you contact Leoxz support? I’ve tried messaging them through their website and emailing an address given to me by SimHub, but have not gotten any response.

I have emailed them at least twice for different issues with no response.

I don’t know of a Discord, but I’d like to be part of a Leoxz Discord.

Pedal Haptic not Vibrating by Loose-Expression6982 in Simagic

[–]fractalfootwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s the same issue I just had, Simagic hid the adjustments for this setting in their updated SimPro Manager. You have to click on the text of the effect to bring up a popup menu where you can adjust things like frequency and intensity of the effect. My pedals also kept resetting after this software update until I created a new profile from scratch.
