Hi everyone and welcome on the FLOEB channel
today we find ourselves for a new review with a product coming from Australia the pro pedals of simworx
I show you immediately in detail, here we go!
In the package of the pedal, it was delivered a usb cable of a length of 3 m
of good quality
A sticker of simworx
A very detailed simworx user manual, inside
there are a lot of details about editing
they explain a lot about the settings
of the pedals
a very beautiful note, it's good job of simworx
the hardware, everything is well detailed, on the left, we have the hardware to fix the pedals
hardware to fix the heel plate
the different urethane dampers
the dampers to choose the feeling on the brake, there is a damper
soft, medium, and hard, and a set of allen keys to adjust the pedals
here is the pro pedals in detail, it measures
36 cm wide, it has a depth of 27 cm without the heel rest and a height of
28 cm
he weighs 8 kilos 830 grams
the heel plate is metal 2 mm thick
laser cut
the heel plate and the pedal are covered with powder based synthetic resins
which adheres by electrostatic effect, it is of superior quality to that obtained with liquid paint
mechanical characteristics
elasticity, hardness are therefore high
on the front of the heel plate, there is a laser engraved simworx marking
and the grooves on the front for fixing
it is 32.8 cm wide
a depth of 28.5 cm and a height of 3cm
the base of the pedal is made of metal of 3 mm thick
the amounts of the pedals are steel 2 mm thick
the throttle pad is made of 3 mm thick aluminum
pierced, it has a height of 16.7 cm and a width of 5 to 7 cm
the pad is not adjustable, it is fixed, we can however adjust the angle of the pedal with the screw on the front
just take a 8 mm wrench and a 3 mm allen key
it's the same for the brake and clutch pedal
here, for the adjustment of the angle of the accelerator pedal, the same for the brake and the clutch
take the Allen key with a flat key of 8
we simply loose
the counter nut
That's it, by hand I can adjust
the start of my pedal is perfect for adjusting the heel-toe
with the brake pedal
after we can adjust
like one wants
here
you just have to adjust and adjust as you wish
The counter nut with the key of 8
That's the metallic noise, it's here
it's a shame, if it's embarrassing for you, at least you put a little skate on the bottom, which will mitigate
this metal noise
on the back of the pedal, there is an aluminum hydraulic cylinder
brake and accelerator are designed
specially for simworx, it has a diameter of 32 mm and a length of 16 cm
there is on the cylinder, a 6061 quality alloy adjuster
with a stainless steel rod end
the alloy adjuster adjusts the throttle pedal stroke and a small screw on the top to lock
the position of the alloy adjuster, there is a rubber seal on the shaft to attenuate the noise at the stop
here, here we see the rubber seal
allowing
to attenuate the noise when the pedal comes into abutment
the small screw on the top of the alloy adjuster, we can
adjust the pedal stroke, just unscrew and tighten
here, I have a stroke
shorter
and I can put a long stroke on the pedal
nothing complicated and it is true that the sound in abutment is well attenuated
with the rubber seal, it's a good idea to simworx
simworx uses a linear variable displacement transducer
it's similar to a hall sensor but instead of a magnet, these are induction coils
they are sensors with a very precise positioning, there is also a stainless steel ball end
this sensor will ensure reliability on the accelerator
on the back of the cylinder, we notice a sticker "made in australia"
the amounts of the brake pedal are made of steel of 3 mm thickness, the fixing of the pad
is made of 2 mm thick steel
cylindrical spacers and 8 mm thick cnc machined aluminum pads are noticeable
8 cm wide and
9.5 cm high, the pad is adjustable in height on 1.5 cm and in depth on 2cm
just take a 10 mm wrench and a 5 mm allen key
for adjusting the brake pad and clutch,
it's the same, you have to
an allen key provided in the simworx set and a flat key of 10
we're just going
Loosen the two screws on each side
on the brake pedal, there are also cylindrical spacers
1 cm in diameter
I have a possible height adjustment of 1.5 cm
And in depth, a possible setting of 2 cm
I can adjust the angle of the pad
I loose a little more
everything is adjustable on the brake and clutch pedal, it's the same
we can adjust the angle
We choose the position we want, we can adjust also for the heel-toe with
The accelerator
here, and once we have found
The right setting, just tighten
to know that on the brake
the steel amounts of the pedal
have been strengthened
we have a pressure on the brake of 140 kgs
it is enormous
that's why I think the pedal has been reinforced by simworx
and it is here, that we can adjust the axis of the damper on 1.5 cm
I leave it as it was originally set
but it is quite possible to adjust it with a Allen key and a wrench of 13
here is the pad of the brake pedal
8 mm thick
Pierced on the front for design
I think it's pretty
covered with very resistant powder, very resistant coating
it is the same pad as on the clutch, it is less wide but of the same thickness
so on the brake hydraulic damper
we have two 6061 aluminum rings, I have a possible preset on
the damper
if I unscrew, I compress the spring, which hardens
The effect on the brake, and if I unscrew the brake tensioner ring
the spring is less compressed
and I have a softer feeling
on top, we see the sticker of simworx
on the back, we see in this part
A 3mm thick red metal rocker arm
with the damper that is screwed here
with a thumbwheel on the top
I take it away
there are three urethane dampers supplied with the pedals
so a damper
blue
the soft damper
the yellow which is the medium
and the black which is a damper to have a hard brake pedal, I reinstall
the yellow damper that is installed originally
I put it in position, there is nothing complicated
even if you want to change damper one day, it's very simple
So, if the thumbwheel above the damper
I do not tight it too much, we see a softer brake pedal
we see that when I push the brake pedal
we notice on the bottom of the damper
that I just press back on the rocker arm, and this
crush the damper, when I push, we see that it falls on the damper
therefore, I compress the damper each time I press the brake pedal
there are a lot of settings on this pedal is fine, I feel right away
that the brake pedal is much harder
we can really choose
his feeling
here
it's really very very hard, I've tightened almost to the maximum, the brake pedal is very hard
after you have to take the time to test each damper
find the right setting and then after we've found your feeling, it's perfect
so three urethane dampers provided with the pedals
a very simple setting
hardness and feeling on the brake pedal
on the front of the pedal, a simworx laser engraving and the screw to be able to adjust the angle of the pedal
the clutch pedal mountings are made of 2 mm thick metal and the pad
of 8 mm thick CNC machined aluminum
pierced, a correct grip and it measures 10 cm in height and 4.2 cm wide
the depth of the pad can be adjusted to 2 cm and the height to 1.5 cm
on the back there is also
two cylindrical spacers of 1 cm diameter, on the front of the pedal,there is simworx laser engraving
and the screw for adjusting the angle and the pedal stroke
the clutch pedal works with a high precision linear potentiometer, the pedal stroke is transmitted
to the linear potentiometer by a small threaded rod with plastic ball ends
the small threaded rod with the two plastic ball ends, 1 on each side at the ends
with the linear potentiometer that is here
a high quality linear potentiometer
with on the back
two metal parts of 2 mm thick
and a clutch pedal that is not linear, we have an effect
in the clutch
a hard pedal at the start
and more flexible on the end, with a small effect
in the clutch pedal, after that is to everyone's taste
but the effect is good
even if we have when a noise of metallic
when I arrive in abutment and on the front
shame, if you want to fix it, you have to put
a little rubber pad here and a rubber pad on the front since it is this screw, the one that serves as a setting
for the angle of the pedal and the setting of the stroke
if it's inconvenient for you, it will be necessary to put a small rubber pad or a small rubber felt
on the bottom, an aluminum cylinder of 2 cm diameter with a spring
above, a cylindrical part of 1.3 cm diameter
with a powder coating like the pedals, that's it, I removed
the small metal hood 2 mm thick
where are fixed inside, 1 controller of leo bodnar, bu 08 36, here
there are still free pins if you want to connect a handbrake or other device
there is the space on the controller
and a small electronic card on the back that serves to
the loadcell of the brake, it is connected
to the electronic card
the controller bu 08 36
and we just come
log on
the usb cable on the back of the pedal and there is more than to connect it to the pc
we also notice the linear potentiometer
for the clutch pedal, we see that the assembly
is still very clean! no threads everywhere
it's a nice editing!
from simworx
for mounting the heel plate of the pro pedals, here, on the back as it is realized
you just have to come
position
the heel plate
inside the pedal, it is positioned, I can not pull it anymore
after it is enough
to fix
his pedals on the rig with the screws that are provided by simworx
and on the front, we fix with the two bolts
here, in the holes, we put a bolt on each side to fix the heel plate, as a whole
we have a beautiful pedal, honestly
with a beautiful finish, it's imposing
It can be configured on a software like dxtweak2 for example, di view, or on windows
the price for this pro gt pedals is AUD 1390
about €840 + shipping costs and to this we add
any taxes that may have in some countries
I install the pedals on the simulator and I give you my feeling in game!
I am in the bathurst pitlane with the Ford Falcon V8 Supercars
I test the new simworx pedals, I give you my feeling in game
and I make a small conclusion, here we go!
Let's go!! I drive with the sequential gearbox
for
The installation of the pedal, nothing complicated, to fix it there are
holes
on the side but there is also
another attachment, 2 holes on the front of the brake pedal
I also fixed the pedal here with 2 additional screws
I forgot to mention it in the first part
it is necessary to install these 2 additional screws otherwise the pedal support folds a little under braking
So I have the yellow damper on the brake pedal, the medium
before, I made several tests, with the blue damper, I find it too soft and the black damper
can be a bit hard
that's why I'm doing the test with the yellow damper, many possible settings on the brake pedal
Everyone can choose according to their feeling
the accelerator pedal is linear
I do not hear too much
The sound of metal in abutment
if it's embarrassing, consider adding small rubber pads
I adjusted the brake pedal with the throttle for the heel-toe
it's good
good feeling on the brake, a pedal a little more flexible at first
everything is adjustable, it's good
the aluminum brake tensioner ring on the damper, I set it to the highest
I compressed the spring
And I also squeezed the thumbwheel to the maximum
a lot of adjustment on this pedal, it's top
you have to spend some time to adjust
make laps
to find the best feeling
but, honestly, I can manage the braking
I manage to practice the heel-toe with the setting
the clutch pedal is noisy, when it comes to a stop, a metal noise
you have to put a part of rubber, especially on the back
to reduce the noise, it can be embarrassing if you have another person in the room
if not on the clutch pedal, I have a good feeling
it's not a linear pedal
we feel A little change
feeling at the end of the pedal stroke
I prefer linear clutches but it's a matter of taste
this pedal seems very solid
once firmly attached to the rig, it does not move at all
the simworx company, very well
they sent me the pro gt pedals in test so I thank them
a good company, they responded quickly to emails
the questions I had for the review, they answered me quickly
the brake pedal is good
after we regret maybe
the fact of not being able to adjust laterally the pad
it would have been good
if we could adjust laterally
but overall, we have a good pedals
it works fine, I calibrated it with DXTWEAK2
you can do it with DIVIEW
With windows too
I chose dx tweak
Frankly, I spent some time adjusting the brake pedal
but I have a good feeling
the ford v8
is quite complicated to drive
I can manage braking
I finish the lap and I make a small conclusion
Here! the test of the pedals of SIMWORX is finished, the positive points which I give to this pedal are:
the brake pedal !! I have a good feeling! I spent a little time adjusting it to test the different dampers
So, I left on the yellow damper! the medium! I did some laps to find the right feeling
but here I can measure the braking, honestly, it's very good! it is often a pedal that is subject to discussion
here is a good feeling
I do not want to lie to you, it's really good
the clutch pedal, I prefer the linear clutch pedals, it's to the taste of everyone!
but the feeling is nice
after, they use leo bodnar controllers so, high quality controllers
overall, we have a pedals that looks very strong
and the negatives that I give to this pedal is that we can not settle
laterally the pads of the pedals, I find that a little pity,
it's true, that it would have been nice to be able to adjust between the brake and throttle pedal
especially for the heel-toe
and the other negative point that I give to this pedal, the noise! when we reach the end of the pedal stroke
that makes a metallic noise, but
it can be remedied with rubber pads, for example
here, I will put you the link in the description of the video, if you are interested in the pro gt pedals from SIMWORX
I thank them again for the confidence they gave me to realize this review
do not hesitate to subscribe to my youtube channel and I give you appointement for a next review !! BYE !!!!
