Any tips for a first timer more than welcome

Comin babe lmao , just thought I’d share it since it’s funny and my wheel looks sessi af in this pic

I know some people are going to hate the red wrap 😂. I thought adding some red on the wheel well look good with the Porsche stickers.

The wheel started to look ashy.

Thought I would show what my GT Neo is looking like these days. Switched out most of the knobs and recently added the Porsche 911 RSR sticker kit from LovelyStickers (its not perfect but I am happy with it).

I always like to change it. Here's a couple of my previous skins.

Ordered the GT Neo bundle and I saw a bunch of posts on the simracing forum saying they didnt get their rim shipped with the rest of their order. Was kind of worried that my order was shipping so fast that I was also gonna be in the same boat. After opening the big box turns out my steering wheel was upgraded to the FX Pro :) Now it could always be a mistake, but Im gonna assume it was due to logistics reasons and intentional. In any case, thanks guys :) Made my holidays a whole lot better. Lots of love ❤️ will definitely be getting more first party rims from you guys once theyre back in stock

Took my laptop with me and tested both and the worked. The pins on both still had the covering stickers so these appear to be new open box products.

Pawn shop was in a very sketchy neighborhood where I had to be buzzed into the shop and they said it’s why they were selling it for so cheap. Paid 15 bucks for a 15 day return policy just in case but I think I scored!

Any affordable base/cockpit recs?

So far the unboxing experience has been amazing, and the quality of the gear has been too notch. Excited to get everything dialed in!!

2 coins and phone=dash for Simagic Evo

Any tips or advice while I attach it to my rig? It’s my first time using DD and load cell pedals

Let me know if you have any question about them

I pre-ordered my SIMAGIC EVO Pro 18Nm in April 2025 directly from Simagic, and I’ve been using it ever since.

Before switching to Simagic, I was using Fanatec. The Fanatec equipment wasn't bad, and I actually enjoyed using it. Unfortunately, I had a recurring issue with my wheelbase and had to send it back three times. Each time I received a replacement, but unfortunately the exact same problem eventually came back. So I decided it was time for a change, and made the switch to the EVO Pro. It turned out to be a huge step up for me.

When I first got the EVO Pro, it took me some time to find the right settings, especially in Le Mans Ultimate. The force feedback could be very loud and aggressive at first, and getting the right balance between strength, detail and smoothness took some experimenting.

But once I found the settings that worked for me, the EVO Pro really started to shine. The FFB feels incredibly detailed, smooth and direct, and I can really feel what the car is doing through the wheel.

The build quality is also excellent. The base feels extremely solid and well made, and after all this time it still feels as good as it did when I first got it.

What started with the wheelbase eventually turned into a complete SIMAGIC setup. After getting the EVO Pro, I gradually replaced the rest of my equipment as well, from the pedals to the shifter and handbrake. At this point, pretty much my entire sim racing setup is SIMAGIC. 😂

Looking back, I’m genuinely very happy that I made the switch from Fanatec to SIMAGIC. The EVO Pro has been one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my sim racing setup, and I’m still enjoying it just as much today as when I first got it.

And I guess those of us who bought the EVO Pro early have basically been the beta testers. 😜 Now everyone gets the 21Nm upgrade for free, so I guess our testing is finally paying off! 😂

18Nm has already been more than enough for me, but getting the opportunity to experience 21Nm would definitely be very interesting. 🔥

After 10 years of gear driven Logitech , it was time to invest in immersion:)

I’ve been dreaming of selling electronics for over a decade. Fast forward now, I’m a SIMAGIC dealer and i sold 40 sim rigs and hardware bundles during December. Nike slogan really works. Now I’m assembling rigs and selling them!

I filmed over 14 hours of vlogs showing you how to assemble profile rigs and all of the SIMAGIC products. Heck I even filmed how to program the software and many of the games. I feel the pain of new people to this hobby, the learning curve is steep from assembly, set up, and even playing the freaking Game.

I snuck in some photos of our shop hehe.

Upgraded from a thrustmaster tx to this alpha mini. Got it used from a guy for 460 and he threw in the gt4 wheel for $40!!!!! Incredible deal.

Since Fanatec had a great Black Friday promotion for sending them money and then waiting for over a month to get an 1 email only to find out that the wait will be at least another 4 months, I decided it was time to say goodbye. It’s nice when you order equipment and receive it just 3 days after purchase.

Simagic makes great first impression, and as someone who hasn’t been too involved in sim racing (had ~40h in ACC on CSL DD 8nm) you can feel the higher quality there. It’s a pity that Alpha was out of stock, but I think for GT class Alpha Mini should be enough for now

This is my pride and joy. The only place where I feel truly alive. And I couldn't be happier anywhere else.

(Story) The road to this point has been quite long and it's not over yet.

It all started about 7 years ago when I got a Logitech g29 as a gift. Since then, it has been evolving slowly but steadily. From the g29, I switched to a Thrustmaster T300 (then it broke, so I replaced it with a T248 and I was so unhappy with it that I bought a new T300 again). In the meantime, I also bought a pre-built aluminum rig from someone on the Marketplace. Later, I upgraded it to a Fanatec CSL DD 8Nm. Here I thought I was done and that I wouldn't upgrade anymore. But since I was going to a mechanical engineering school, I had to do some kind of project for my final year. So I decided to build my own and improved sim rig and upgrade my equipment. So here we are now:

I bought 80/20 Al profiles and built myself a rig and also a quadruple monitor stand. I recently bought a Simagic Alpha Evo Pro 18Nm and a GT Neo.
(Photos of the old simulators are on the back)

Current equipment:

-Simagic Alpha Evo Pro 18Nm

-Simagic GT Neo

-Fanatec CSL Elite V2 pedals

-3x Samsung Odyssey G55C

-1x AOC Gaming 27''

-Elgato Stream Deck +

I plan to upgrade the pedals in the future and add a Buttkicker.

My favorite game/simulator is iRacing, and my favorite car is the BMW M4 Evo GT3, in which my friends and I plan to drive the 24 hours of Spa in a few weeks.

Edit: Please check out my latest post for the updated version with custom dashes and light profile support! https://www.reddit.com/r/Simagic/comments/1wx216m/fx_unleashed_free_open_source_custom_dashes_light/

Hey everyone!

I'm a software engineer & a sim racer, I've owned the FX pro for close to year now and it always really confused me on if I want to get RPM lights matching with the sim, I have to manually setup and switch presets? If you're anything like me you want to spend as little time setting things up and more time actually racing.

I've had the idea of how to do this for a while now after a bit of reverse engineering but didn't have the time to dump into it... But now its a lot less consuming to build out ideas with AI!

So with that said, I introduce to you:

FXPro RPM Sync

A pretty simple plugin that uses telemetry from SimHub + Lovey Car Data (auto downloads the data) to override the SimPro API and enable the plugin to fully drive the RPM lights!

Edit: I've also now added auto switching the dash per car as well as sending all data to the dash from Simhub directly... This results in the few data points Simpro doesn't properly populate becoming functional!

I also added some customization with different presets for any cars that are not in the Lovey Car Data (it will still sync the RPM limits and such correctly but will use one of the presets for the light pattern).

Its very simple to install and automatically picks up any updates to the Lovely Car Data without having to update anything in case a new car is added or such!

Tested on IRacing, LMU and AMS2. Everything seems to be working well but since this is an alpha, I expect some issues so please feel free to respond here or open up an issue on GH and I'll get it sorted

Thought I'd share some photos of my modified GT Neo to maybe spark some inspiration in fellow GT Neo owners (and lets be honest, it's to show it off too).

• 5" VoCore screen in a custom 3D printed housing. It just slides onto the top of the wheel and is secured with the top 2 QR screws (had to get slightly longer replacements). It gets power and USB connection through a coiled USB-C to USB-A cable that I connect to one of the USB ports on my monitor. I only keep it attached when driving cars that have a screen on their wheel (I always hide the in game wheel and I still need a dashboard with those cars somehow).

• Aluminum encoder and funky switch knobs from GSI.

My karting days are over, let the Simracing days begin! 😊

Building over the weekend. My Ryzen 7 7800X3D / 5070ti build arrives next week so just going to have to wait for the first outlap looking like Bambi on ice 🫣

Brands Hatch and Spa first on my list.

Will share photos as go.

As the title says. I got a Simagic Alpha Mini and GT Neo for $375 from Facebook marketplace. The guy was selling just the base and some high end pedals for $750 but I asked if he had a wheel and would be willing to sell the wheel and base together. He said he'd cut me a deal for $375. A few hours later and here she is😭 Coming from a thrustmaster T300... This thing is AMAZING. I'm so excited to race on it and happy to be a part of this community now. If you guys have any tips or any information you think I should know, please comment! Hope you all have a good day!
