SIMAGIC ALPHA vs MINI power….. DOWNGRADING” to decide if mid range DD wheel is enough
Set it so that maximum force is 13.5nm …..
it clips when it’s above that value.
Simpro should have set it to 12.2Nm in the software not 12.4. Later on I set it to 11.1nm in software and still it felt great to drive with good hit on the bumps.
Mini has plenty of power and detail. If you’re slow then please DONT BE making excuses and saying the dwta is not there.
It’s all there. Your turning and braking is because your not understanding the how cars behave and not getting rotation and millions of other things.
It 100% is not the MINI that holding anyone back.
Mini is good power. More top end hit is available but doesn’t really do much apart from
“Oh fcuk that was hard kick” and
“Fcuk my fingers and hands are in spasm from holding it so tight and fatigued after 1 laps of NORDS”

    I have an Alpha U. It is definitely overkill. This alpha is really all that anyone needs. The U is only good for occasionally cranking up the power to accurately simulate old high downforce cars for some fun. Im a strong, fit, professional tower climber with very high grip strength. 6’1 (186cm) and 200lbs (90kg). I’ve tried doing a whole race in the F4 car on iRacing with the power cranked all the way up. After 5min I’m getting tired, 10min in my hands and wrists start to hurt. After the full 20min race I’m drenched in sweat my hands can hardly hold on and my wrists feel like wet noodles and actively hurt. I’ve got to avoid curbs and/or bumps because the shock through the wheel hurts too much. Most of the time I run it between 10 and 15nm. Less power and I feel like the car isn’t communicating with me enough, more and it gets tiring/painful after a while.

    Although it's not the most scientific measurement, I love how much you rate these bases on their feel versus just the numbers. I completely understand (and honestly agree with) the argument that more overhead is better for preventing clipping and to grow into as your arms get stronger, but I also think those viewpoints are overly critical when considering a casual sim racer and convinces people to spend more money just to have something they'd never know is missing, if they ever even reach that threshold. I've been saving up for a year so that I can treat myself to an Alpha and was thinking about going for an Ultimate (upgrading from T300), but your videos convinced me that an Alpha is all that's needed, and I'll be using that extra money to add haptics to my seat instead so that I can have more fun in my rig.

    I wonder if the benefits of the Alpha over the mini would then only be present if one were to use the damper and inertia settings. So, keep the force output range the same as the mini still but the additional headroom would be consumed by the damper and inertia simulation component if that makes sense. On my CLS DD, turning up these settings really starts to kill the feeling of the ffb signal when they shouldn't and don't when I've tried an SC2 Pro with even higher damper and inertia settings.

    • @Max__apex
      @Max__apex 13 днів тому

      Damper and interia is friction and resistance respectively. So off course friction in a system will absorb energy and resistance will oppose motion. So a double attack on ffb fidelity. That why I have low settings for more Raw signals fully coming through.

Even 1 has noticeably more delay than 0, but it won't be a real issue in most cases. 0 can almost perfectly control very bad situations hands-off, while you might get a tiny bit of oscillation with 1. Any more is unusable for things like drifting. I think it's just the nature of filtering, though. Making very low frequency filters in particular introduces immense delay.

    when you limit the base via Max Torque it will just cut off everything above, but the actual force scaling will be like if you had a 15nm base. It will not mimick the Alpha mini with these settings. In order to properly compare the feel between two bases, you should reduce the Force Feedback instead on Alpha.

    • @Max__apex

      Lowering the scaling does not mimicking the Mini as the Mini can also be scaled so it clips a lot. But the limit is the maximum torque.

    • @ArchOfficial
      @ArchOfficial Місяць тому

      Incorrect. 1.0 DI will be 1.0 DI. Changing the torque changes the amount of torque the base provides when DI is 1.0. There shouldn't be, all else equal in the driver and motor (Probably not entirely), any difference between a Mini at 10Nm and an Alpha at 10Nm. Force Feedback is a linear gain and it scales the DI output, same as changing the % in sims where gain is linear.

    I drive trucks for years, so I find my csl dd 8nm kinda average. It's definitely enough though like you said, to give you the dynamic range needed. And the details are still very high. I use an app called FFB clip, and set it to 8nm. So when I drive a gt3 for example. The details are high and it feels 1 to 1 until (as you said) a violent force such as a jump over a curb into a turn, causing sudden grip. Those sorts of things never clip, but I only ever feel them upto 8nm, when I'd imagine they would really feel more like 10nm. The forced I felt in extreme conditions in the truck wpuld be I'd guess around 11nm. Most was much lower though, maybe more like 4 to 6nm

But the mini goes up to 13nm and can feel everything and at clipping no useful information as the big hit can be seen and felt on the wheel and on screen.

    This test can be useful about knowing how powerful the motor is, but it does not guarantee that games can send this much torque. Max torque from the games can just be limited to 15nm via software. I compared my Moza R9 to an Alpha Mini v3 and if I increase the game FFB by 11% with Moza R9 it felt similar to the Mini in terms of power (with more clipping of course). So 9nm vs 10nm looks valid for those.

Dan Suzuki was the one who said that and the problem is he is not using the latest v3 version of the Mini in his review. Latest Mini is a bit smaller and looks different at the edges.

Because that will allpw the spikes and details to come through and not clip. And this will further accentuate that even in lower settings. Due to the overall torque those spikes and details can reach more of a peak. Thats just how it works. But i just couldnt help myself again even if I use it at 35% thats fine. Also when you get those settings dialed in that Jerky motion won't happen as much. I've found interpelation at 4 or 5 and smoothness on 1 is pretty nice helps with ffb noise and vibrations where they shouldnt be and allows for those details to still come through since the smoothness is set to 1. If you need to use some dampening you can up to you I don't. Tbh I can usually get unwanted effects gone with the interpelation setting and smoothness I just don't like going to high on the smoothness. Also the mini doesn't have much dynamic range lol.

Clipping is not gonna slow anyone down.

You may use only 45% but I wouldn't be. We are all different and for me the ultimate was the right choice purely because of the slight price bump and the fact I didn't want 2 15nm bases. I just wanted to get the best simagic has to offer and I'm happy I did. Even if I won't max it out. Also dan tested a v2 the v3s like yoyrs has smaller lip edges. The new v3 minis are not as powerful. It's all over reddit right now just go over to it. Peolle comparing there old ones with new ones all state it's noticeable. So it's good you went alpha I was trying to tell you that you made a good choice that's all. If you look at your base you will notice the edges are smaller not as deep of a lip the v2s all had deeper lips this was across the entire lineup. It's nice to see that they kept using the same motor for the alpha and ultimate. Maybe the choice was down to the mini taking to much sales? Give peoppe a reason to upgrade? Idk but when people on reddit are talking about there mini not being enough power that's saying something when they then have a v2 right next to them they can test. Regardless you made a good choice. We aren't all the same, we don't all use the same power or settings. Some people don't have to understand it. Also remember most of these youtubers tell peoppe what they msy need or not need but they all sit there st the end of the day maining 20 to 25nm bases set lower.

    This is about right, if based going off of feel too. Simagic themselves say they don't really conform to any measurement method as there is no standard of measurement for this type of application. The Alpha Mini for example is often rated as being or feeling stronger than a Moza R12, which is rated at 12nm. Which if measured in this way, I'm guess it'll come to 12-13nm of torque (if given same amount of overhead as in this test with Alpha). That would make sense as to why it feels stronger than an R12.

      Man force in a given direction is just that. It doesn’t matter in which direction it’s measured. This is basic physics. There is some margin for error in this method because the force measured is only accurate if the force is measured perpendicular to the line drawn between the center point and measurement point. Also the distance between the centre of the motor and measurement point must be precisely measured for an accurate force to be calculated. all of this appears to have been done to a relatively good degree by the OP that the measure is likely accurate to at least +/- 5% accuracy. Not perfect, but an interesting test nonetheless.
