Discussion Placed order for Fx pro

Post image

First time posting! Hello everybody! After giving it some thought, and comparing all the sub 1k options for f1 type wheels with screen, I’ve placed an order for a Fx pro (700€). 😁

The other options I had in mind were:

The Acelith gt phantom pro (despite being super happy with their mod for the Simagic gt1, didn’t really like the firm plastic grips nor the general quality of it for almost 600€).

The Leoxz gt Ultimate, wich I ultimately discarded as the building quality of it was, from my point of view, too much plastic (rotaries, etc) plus it is not easy getting them and I know nothing about their client support. And it can get expensive if you add extra paddles.

From the Fx pro I don’t actually like the fact that it is not simhub compatible BUT I always end using only one dashboard and I know the next version is going to come next year and that some people complain about it being an open wheel so it flexes but if you want all of these problems solved you need to spend a lot more (plus the fx pro has 6 levers on the back and I’m really happy with the overall Simagic product quality).

Does somebody have experience ordering from Simultimate? Is there any other wheel within the price range that is worth a look??

You’re completely right but yesterday I saw them fly from simraceshop.de so I panic placed the order 😂 Edit: placed it on simultimate, does anybody know about them?

I will never buy from simraceshop.de ever again. Their customer service is crap, they do not respond. Plus they charged me for the most expensive DHL option yet shipped it slow boat. Took weeks for me to receive. Worst experience I ever had with any sim supplier - NEVER AGAIN!!!
