Simagic M10

[rjkoneill]

Hi RD

Looking to upgrade my wheel at some point this year. Currently using a T300 with CSL LC pedals on a GT1 Evo.

My plan was to grab a CSL wheel or maybe a CS2.5 but this Simagic unit seems very affordable, especially compared to the cost of a fanatec clubsport base and any of their compatible wheels.

The wheel and quick release look really well built, good features on the buttonbox and plenty of mounting options on the wheelbase itself.

I know it's early days but what would be my main drawbacks considering a relatively new unit like this other than software support?

It looks like the torque figures are much lower than other DD bases, but would it be significantly more detailed than a belt driven unit?

My only experience with DD is a business meeting I had at Vesaro around 5 years ago when I worked at OcUK and it was mind-blowing but I think that opinion was swayed by the simulator as a whole and not just the wheel specifically. (I ran nords in their top of the range setup on the day).

I have only spotted a few videos on YouTube with brief overviews on the Simagic unit so I guess nobody has one in hand yet? I also know nothing about the development of this product or its background

There's a file on the facebook group that you need for DR2

So how can you get it when you don’t have facebook???

I'm pretty sure its a public group so I don't think you need to join it to access the files. The group is called Simagic Official Owners and Fan Group. Just search for it and you should find it.

I figured out F1 2019 but dirt2.0 is still difficult i do get the steering to work but no feedback at all.....anyone a idea?

There is and UPDATED DiRT 2.0 FFB File on the Simagic Compatibility List which fixes missing FFB.
Just download and transfer to your game folder. There is a YouTube How To video if required.

Mounting a DD wheel to a Playseat Challenge sounds like the most stupid idea in the world!

However, I have done it - and with some easy modifications it works remarkably well. The modifications do impact it's foldability a bit - although it can still fold away to be put in a cupboard.

I have a DD2 mounted to a Playseat challenge, along with a Fanatec handbrake, shifter, V3 pedals, button box and a small monitor. It works brilliantly. I've used two 10kg ankle weights (20kg total) simply laid on the back foot to act as a counterweight, along with fitting two 15cm ram mount knock offs to the back of the wheel deck - affixed diagonally to the wheel deck uprights which increase the rigidity massively - this is what impacts the foldability. I've also doubled up on the velcro arm supports with addition of a pair of ratchet straps as insurance against collapse due to the increased weight.

I'll take some photos later but I can assure people that contrary to what you might think it works great - as long as the wheel deck is locked closed, with the modifications there is only minor flex - this has the benefit of acting as a ghetto motion sim as you feel it in your butt! I've been using it for over 6 months, peak torque usually around 12nM and it has been rock solid.

This is ace, been on ebay this evening buying the RAM mount knock offs. When do I tell the wife I'm getting a Podium DD1??

When you say the the wheel deck is locked closed, do you mean you have to jump into the seat without opening it, or can you still open it?

It still opens and pivots so you can get in.
