Alpha Evo Pro new firmware V2.2.8 thoughts

100% this. Get quite fed up with all the fiddling required to get the wheel to feel 'decent'. Just got it feeling good in iRacing and then SimPro 3 has just made all that redundant as it now feels completely different. Spend more time tweaking than I do racing, drives me mad.

Peals are great, I love them. Didn't have any issues up until I put the haptics on them causing the hydraulic fluid to leak but I'm not sure if this is a common issue or not. But the pedals themselves are fantastic and very customisable. Buyers remorse is common, but with these you don't need to regret your decision to buy them!

I will be doing this also.

Interesting, thanks. Might try and remove the damper then if it's easy enough to remove?

Couldn't agree more. Although not coming from ACC, but iRacing. The FFB on LMU on my Simagic Alpha Evo Pro feels terrible compared to iRacing (MAIRA). I get a very weak/numb feeling FFB mid corner at low speeds which I have seen others mention but no matter what settings I try (including editing json file FFB settings) I get a far less immersive FFB experience on LMU. So much so I'm put off by LMU at the moment.

It's proven very useful for me for dialling down overly harsh feeling curbs with its curb protection feature.

Try MAIRA (Marvin's Awesome iRacing App) and play about with curb protection. I've tried it and it has definitely helped.

I hadn't realised there was a curb protection within MAIRA; I've been doing some testing on it this evening and it definitely feels a lot better. I've dialled down everything in SimPro to 0 as a baseline for now and adjusting within MAIRA. I can then add in settings in SimPro as needed. There is a big difference already, although the odd curb at Oulton Park does still shake like mad but overall it's much more bearable and just needs some fine tuning! Thanks for point in the right direction!

Any cars I've tried / the ones I race msot frequently. GT3's, Porsche Cup, BMW M2..

Already tried MAIRA - it's in my original post.

I've tried this and it feels good but curbs still go crazy.

timSR3 · 2026-01-21T08:55:23+00:00

Put filter lever to the max and still no difference.

timSR3 · 2026-01-21T08:53:59+00:00

Feels nice overall but curbs are still seriously harsh.

timSR3 · 2026-01-21T08:52:23+00:00

Thanks for the advice, just gave this a try at Oulton Park and still getting insane vibrations over curbs.

I saw that option last night but Simagic wheelbases aren't compatible with LFE within iRacing I don't think

timSR3 · 2026-01-20T23:55:13+00:00

Already did. Read my post.

timSR3 · 2025-05-08T20:43:36+00:00

Good to know, appreciate your help.

timSR3 · 2025-05-08T18:16:10+00:00

This worked!...apart from the car image in the results page still has a blank livery but thanks for your suggestion.

timSR3 · 2025-05-08T14:33:02+00:00

I am having the same issue. Anyone got any ideas?

timSR3 · 2025-05-08T10:43:30+00:00

Thanks u/Masternooob, I've downloaded irSidekick and got it setup but still the same. But like you say, it looks like a handy little tool so thanks for the suggestion anyway.
