Completing MOZA’s Airbus Cockpit The Flight Control Unit is arguably one of the busiest areas of an Airbus cockpit. Long before the aircraft reaches cruise, you’re already interacting with it to select speeds, headings, altitudes and vertical modes. During the descent it becomes even busier, while the EFIS panels either side are constantly being used […]
A Premium Airbus MCDU That Keeps Getting Better The MCDU is arguably the heart of any Airbus cockpit. Before the engines are even started it’s where you build the flight, initialise the aircraft, enter performance data and manage almost every stage of the journey. It’s also one of the few pieces of flight simulation hardware […]
High-end VR is finally good enough to challenge triple screens, but that does not mean it is the right choice for every sim racer. VR versus triple screens has been one of sim racing’s biggest debates for as long as i can remember. VR gives you true depth perception and the feeling of sitting inside […]
A beautifully engineered, console-compatible flagship pedal set with serious performance intent, but its “Alien Spec” brake setup might not be for everyone. Fanatec’s Podium range has had a very obvious gap in it for a long time. Ever since the company split its sim racing hardware into CSL, ClubSport and Podium tiers, there has been […]
The Simucube 3 Sport, Pro and Ultimate deliver the most refined force feedback there is, but their premium price and more closed ecosystem make them a very specific kind of recommendation. After six months of testing and daily use, the Simucube 3 Sport and Pro have turned out to be two of the most interesting, […]
A clever modular wheel ecosystem with strong hardware, useful dash-sharing, and broad driving style coverage… BUT it got weird. Simagic’s Zeus Series is one of the more interesting steering wheel launches we have seen recently, not just because there are three new wheels, but because of the way the whole system is intended to work. […]
Few flight simulation products have achieved the legendary status of the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog. Released in 2010, it arrived at a time when most simmers were flying with lightweight plastic controllers and suddenly offered something very different: metal construction, Hall Effect sensors, dual throttles and an authentic A-10 inspired control layout. For many enthusiasts, the […]
Forza Horizon 6 has already broken records and is proving to be one of the popular racing games ever made. While past titles have been heavily arcade focussed, FH6 is actually really enjoyable on a proper sim rig with a wheel, pedals, shifter and handbrake as a break from more intense simulation focussed titles like […]
Two feature rich mid-level MOZA wheels that cover a huge range of driving styles, with strong ergonomics, good software depth, but a few details that still need refinement. MOZA has been releasing new sim racing hardware at a pace that is getting genuinely difficult to keep up with. The CS Pro and KS Pro steering […]
Forza Horizon 6 is the kind of racing game that pulls in two very different audiences. On the one hand you have casual players who just want to drive fast cars across a big open world, and on the other you have the more hardcore sim racers who want to jump in for a bit […]
If your desk is held together with hope, hot glue, and a dream — this might be a difficult read. On one side we have the MOZA AB6: a 6Nm, smaller-footprint, easier-to-live-with force feedback base. On the other, the MOZA AB9: larger, heavier, smoother, and absolutely the kind of thing that makes you say “yeah, […]
What Is The Fanatec Wheel Hub? The Fanatec Wheel Hub is a QR2-based adapter for fitting third-party steering wheels to Fanatec wheel bases. It does three things:– Provides the QR2 Wheel-Side connection– Gives you common steering wheel mounting patterns– Includes the electronics needed to enable force feedback on Fanatec bases It supports 6 x 70 […]
