I've been playing a lot of ATS using the Logitech G29, and this seems like a good upgrade. Got everything under the sun, including turn signal/wiper knobs, and viewpoints, gear stick, petals, and all the buttons...over 86!!

Just look at the controls for this: https://hori.co.uk/hpc-044e/mapping

Nearly $599 upgrade, if anyone is interested. Coming out this fall!

For the money I would rather the steering be belt-driven instead of gear-driven. There is also the issue of no tilt adjustment. And something about that mounting design gives me pause. All of the weight of the wheel and your arms (as you use the wheel), the turning forces you apply, is all clamped to a small spot right at the edge of your table/desk; there is no distribution of weight, it all hangs off the edge. I would wonder how long before my desk
cracked or broke off in that spot from all the stress.

The one good thing about this setup is the shifter because the shifter that it comes with has quite a few buttons on there taking the idea from the G27 days if you guys remember how the shifter that came with the G27 had a bunch of additional buttons. Also one thing that I like about the wheel is where the cables come out. They directly come out the back so you don't have a chance of squishing them in between the desk and the wheel like with Logitech G29 Wheel. And I hope Hori sells the shifter as a separate accessory at some point.

Hori is the budget friendly total package gives you all plus turn signals and 15 inch wheel and massive turn radius I think 1800!!!!!! 1800!!!!! instead fail 900.

Moza gives tilt function. That's cool feature for race games not trucker games. When traveling straight ahead, the steering wheel is angled to compensate/counteract the thrust angle.
Driving with the wheel pointed at your chest maybe forza... not this game.


Moza the wheel is like 300 bucks for just the wheel. I'll spend 1500 bucks on my chair herman miller ya, my back is important. Placing my hands on a plastic wheel for 300 bucks, no thanks. Moza expensive. Hori the same with more stuff. If you like blowing money go moza. If you want to save money with same experience go hori.

Like comparing a snap on tool to a matco or wiha. Not much difference

I like snap on tools, but that moza wheel isn't ganna do anything extra the hori won't do. Both good products just one is more community friendly.

Another note that moza wheel cost more then my mickey thompson BAHA mtz 35x12.50r15 tires that are almost 300 each... ya, not ganna happen moza.

I find the options of the wheel quite interesting, specially the shifter with button box, but I'd like to see and feel it irl, but I'm the kinda person that would buy it regardless and ignore all the warning signs if I have money to spend (unless the first reviews all say it's terrible), and it looks like I will by the time the wheel is released.

I'd love to be able to use my thrustmaster t3pa pro pedals with it though, not sure if that's possible.

Any wheel is better then a controller or keyboard, so if you got that far pat yourself on the back.

Most trucks probably do not have a turn radius bigger then 1080.
And if you go with that.....my fanatec base has a max of 2100° i think (the moza bases most likely too)

There is a steering stop screw on the back side of the spindle that is adjustable. You will have to adjust them in to increase the radius in trucks my guy. I don't just drive them I'm mechanic also.

Tons of owner operators make these adjustments.

Then you also should know that if you modify the steering rotation you also would need to make other adjustments.

And no one talked about modified stuff, but the way they get delivered by the manufacturer.

I also could have quoted other stuff from you like you would not pay 300 for a "plastic" wheel (if complaining about stuff you should research it before) , and rather pay double the price for a "plastic" wheel (at least i would think that hori is using a lot more of that).

[HOLY_RHIN0]

Should not worry about what others like to do and don't do wolfy. Facts are on the table hori is a better option for a better price.

Lmao, also I'm waiting for the people to come tell me this isn't " mechanic truck simulator". All I said was hori gives way more radius then every other wheel and it strikes a nerve in some people ahaha!!!

I love that saying, I think it goes the truth hurts sometimes.

The Hori truck wheel isn't out yet, so lets not act like we have first hand knowledge if it's worth 600 bucks.

Thier Farm Sim equivelant of this released in December '23. It is not getting very good User-reviews and has already dropped a hundred dollars in price.

[Ryu]

It is also worth noting that a wheel/pedal manufacturer was willing to go all-in on an extremely niche set tailored specifically to 2 SCS trucking games. That is very cool and I hope it does well, despite my reservations, and that other manufacturers will get into the game, as well.

[BoozeJunky]

I do plan to pick one up eventually, but that price tag is pretty steep and I already have a functional wheel with pedals, turn signal stalks, and a button box.

I have ZERO issues with the farming simulator setup from them.

Cool. I'm glad you're enjoying it and I mean that. I just pointed out what the general reviews are and the fact there was a price drop withing months of it coming out.

Now, here is why I give a **** ...

I want one. I want one bad. It looks like a well designed well thought out wheel & box. ATM I have a decent setup, couple tablets running DashPanel mounted to a stand/cockpit with a Logitech G29. It's not the greatest but for me it's pretty sweet and functional. But i want to upgrade from the G29, and a built-in button box is just gravy. At $600 dollars Hori isn't my only choice and we're in the Direct-Drive price range.

So quality is what's going to determine if I pull the trigger on this. I want it to be good, but their other products just seem "meh" so far. And that's just my opinion, not stating it as empirical fact.

Has anyone got one of these yet and can comment on it.
They are not currently available in New Zealand, but I can buy the Moza.
