00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:15.240
welcome to my unboxing of the Sim Raceway S1 now you might not recognize

00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:19.640
the brand Sim Raceway when it comes to gaming peripherals however you'll

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:24.720
probably recognize this one so co-developed with steel Series this is a

00:00:22.439 --> 00:00:31.560
racing wheel that uses motion control rather than actually

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:34.559
being like fixed to object like a table

00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:40.800
or like a huge chair set up so it uses motion control and the hugest variety of

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:46.160
buttons that I think I've ever seen on a controller to give you a Sim type feel

00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:52.640
and Sim type flexibility and customization without being bolted down

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:54.840
literally to a fixed Furniture object

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:58.719
and without taking up a ton of space in your home so motion controlled

00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:03.039
customizable Driving Experience steering shift and pedal control all in your

00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:07.720
hands let's go ahead and see what else they have to say for themselves quick

00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:12.640
rotary dials for driving AIDS realistic racing wheel shifters cool okay

00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:16.040
responsive RPM shift indicator lights customizable steering sensitivity

00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:20.720
rubberized racing wheel Comfort grips and fully programmable 15 buttons and

00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:23.759
d-pad all right so full range throttle and brake controls and a high accuracy

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:28.159
handheld motion controlled steering package Cod develop with steel Series so

00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:31.280
it includes Sim Raceway the game however saying it includes Sim Raceway the game

00:01:29.720 --> 00:01:36.240
is kind of like saying that it includes oxygen because Sim Raceway is actually

00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:38.119
free to play which is pretty cool um

00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:42.040
online World focused on live multiplayer racing free to play no subscription fee

00:01:40.399 --> 00:01:45.119
simulation grade driving physics laser scan tracks and proprietary skill

00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:51.280
matching technology for closer racing across all skill levels that can be a huge problem with racing games if you

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.320
have that like super legit player that

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:58.719
just sort of destroys everyone else it's not really fun to race when you're

00:01:56.119 --> 00:02:02.039
actually alone on the track and you have no chance of catching up to anyone or

00:02:00.759 --> 00:02:08.000
anyone catching up to you that's just boring um oh it also comes with $10 of

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:14.400
ingame currency so yes it's free to play but Micro microtransaction driven so you

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:15.640
can buy like cars and stuff cool okay my

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:20.080
understanding is people who like racing games like you know driving the cool car

00:02:17.959 --> 00:02:24.400
in the racing game and you know that sort of thing so I'm not much of a

00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:27.200
racing game guy myself so so don't get me wrong although I shouldn't really

00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:33.120
call it I shouldn't really call it a game outright because Sim Raceway is not

00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:37.000
uh it's more of a Sim than a game so games tend to have more of an arcadey

00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:42.599
style of physics where it's not realistic but it might be easier or or

00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:44.440
more fun for for novices whereas Sims

00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:50.560
tend to be more realistic so it's easier to do things like spin out and crash but

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:53.800
uh if you actually wanted to to practice I mean some Sims even are used by

00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:57.840
professional drivers to practice a new a new track that they haven't uh that they

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:01.280
haven't done before uh so if you want a more realistic Driving Experience then

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:06.200
you definitely want to go with something that uses realistic physics and if I

00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:13.200
could get this package open I would be some kind of a hero man because this is

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:17.040
unbelievable um oh it should be noted though that just because it's compatible

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:22.680
and comes with Sim Raceway and comes with $10 of in-game money it is actually

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:26.360
compatible with any other PC racing game as well so they list a bunch of them on

00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:31.519
the website that it is specifically compatible with but then at the end it

00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:34.159
just says also all PC racing games so

00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:38.200
that is totally never going back in that packaging that much is very clear uh

00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:42.239
what do we got here long periods of repetitive motion using an improperly

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:47.000
set up workspace oh there's your srw currency cool okay it also seems to come

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:50.200
with a small instruction guide that's very eco-friendly you know small

00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:57.079
instruction guide so you can tell they didn't cheap out on the instruction guide because it's printed in color but

00:03:55.200 --> 00:04:01.120
that they didn't want to you know overdo the

00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:05.319
paper we have dispensed with discs to save the planet that's right don't

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:09.200
bother throwing away the CD it doesn't come with one you can just download the

00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:14.720
latest off of haha Sim ray.com downloador Cline there you go getting

00:04:11.799 --> 00:04:18.359
started guide and blah blah blah ah this that's what we want so this shows what

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:22.639
all of the buttons are for by default and what they actually do this talks a

00:04:20.440 --> 00:04:25.680
little bit about the oh the steering whe allows you to fine-tune some Raceway

00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:30.199
driving AIDS in order to suit your preferences so to change the value of an

00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:33.759
ass assist select using using the assist dial and then turn the assist values

00:04:32.039 --> 00:04:38.800
dial to your desired setting low medium high or off to turn all the assists off

00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:43.639
select all on the assist style and turn the assist value style to off very very

00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:50.039
cool please note that once they've been turned off they can only be turned back on individually so assists driving

00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:56.280
assists you got all kinds of different things uh oh that's some pieces of the

00:04:52.840 --> 00:04:58.680
uh red packaging okay so spin stab shift

00:04:56.280 --> 00:05:02.600
clutch ABS brake traction steer pit invol lock and all lock would probably

00:05:01.400 --> 00:05:10.639
be what you'd want to have it on after you've set everything so basically if you go okay I want clutch assists to be

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:15.240
high did you set it all like that very cool so I'm going to turn that off by

00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:20.520
default and okay so here's our shifters here's our presumably

00:05:18.520 --> 00:05:24.759
throttle and Brake but give me a sec guys all right so I was right which is a

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:29.039
miracle because like I said not really into racing games so this is shift up

00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:33.680
shift down this is your break this is your throttle so these are all actually

00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:38.759
easy to reach even for someone like me with relatively small hands however once

00:05:35.919 --> 00:05:43.400
you're on these I don't know that you'd you know I don't I don't know that you'd

00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:49.840
necessarily be able to reach everything so you can see my thumbs can just barely

00:05:46.840 --> 00:05:51.600
make it to the paddle and then just

00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:55.560
barely make it to some of these however most of this stuff you shouldn't really

00:05:53.400 --> 00:05:59.240
have to use in game so let's have a look at what all the buttons are so the

00:05:56.960 --> 00:06:03.120
conveniently located buttons that I will realist istically be able to press no I

00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:07.400
can't reach that one can't reach that one that I'll realistically be able to

00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:12.960
press with my fingers on the paddles shifting and breaking and or look right

00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:18.520
and look left so that's yeah okay that's pretty that's pretty basic um the stuff

00:06:16.840 --> 00:06:22.240
that I realistically wouldn't be able to reach but most people probably could are

00:06:20.479 --> 00:06:25.280
things like speed limiter and request pit it should be noted that things like

00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:32.039
speed limiter so this is for when you're in the pits are not necessarily available on our all cars but because

00:06:28.919 --> 00:06:34.039
this is a racing accessory it does have

00:06:32.039 --> 00:06:37.680
the uh it does accommodate uh some special options that aren't available on

00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:43.720
all cars like launch control which gets you off the line if the car supports it

00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:45.479
and boost which it boosts your speed if

00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:49.160
the car supports it so so things like that so uh if you have larger hands than

00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:53.800
me remember guys my hands are super small then you should realistically be

00:06:50.880 --> 00:06:58.000
able to reach this probably this uh you should be able to reach boost as well as

00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:02.039
lights I just can't quite make it there so what else do we have so we got look

00:07:00.039 --> 00:07:06.160
back rear braak balance front brake balance launch control which we covered

00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:09.800
HUD which I think is fairly self-explanatory shows you the HUD or

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:13.599
doesn't share the HUD Horn uh this one now this button actually has very cool

00:07:11.599 --> 00:07:18.879
functionality what it does is it makes it so that the car will actually lift

00:07:16.520 --> 00:07:22.879
off the ground and then it does like a complete rotation and then it will flip

00:07:21.440 --> 00:07:28.199
the wheels from the top of the car down to the bottom like from the bottom of the car down to the top of the car like

00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:31.840
Transformer style and it will go along the road like no actually just hold H

00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:37.039
the horn so that honks the horn um this is for navigating menus so you got like

00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:39.479
enter select uh your d-pad as well as your back button so you can actually I

00:07:38.599 --> 00:07:44.879
mean that's one of the biggest frustrations with the with most racing wheels uh well the only real racing

00:07:43.440 --> 00:07:48.879
wheel that I've really used in the past G25 was that you actually still have to

00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:54.199
have a keyboard handy for a lot of games because you can't navigate anything um

00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:57.159
bearing in mind I didn't have the uh the shifter plugged in so I think that has

00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:00.960
navigation buttons on it but there's a lot of accessories to plug in whereas

00:07:58.919 --> 00:08:06.039
this is just one piece that you can like store in your coffee table and not you

00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:12.400
know worry about it being in the way all the time right okay uh camera view

00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:16.400
changes all of that stuff aha so steering sensitivity you can change it

00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:20.599
anywhere from 180 degrees to 360° and then this we have already

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:23.840
covered so let's see what El steel Series has to say for themselves here

00:08:22.159 --> 00:08:28.319
like I said guys I am not a racing efficient AO so this is um something I

00:08:26.599 --> 00:08:32.760
do need a little bit oh actually no wait come back this is cool so the rubberized

00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:37.800
grips here are awesome these are these are like the stickiest rubber grips ever

00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:41.880
without feeling like it's sticky you know how sometimes you're just like oh

00:08:39.640 --> 00:08:46.200
it feels like um you know Silly Putty uh it's not like that they feel very very

00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:49.640
nice very it would be very difficult to accidentally drop this controller the

00:08:47.880 --> 00:08:53.279
rest of the unit has like a soft touch feel which is also very nice it has a

00:08:51.640 --> 00:08:56.760
braided cord we should have a look at how long the cord is actually that could

00:08:55.120 --> 00:09:00.480
be relevant so you're not going to be plugging this in from you know a super

00:08:59.040 --> 00:09:04.519
long way away it looks like about a Linus ARM span and a half which for

00:09:02.959 --> 00:09:10.519
those of you who work with real measurements is probably about 10

00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.160
ft okay or 3 m for those of you who use

00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:18.040
like real real measurements like not Imperial measurements um so ready set race okay

00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:21.959
full range you can okay you can change it you can okay I would definitely

00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:25.279
recommend going to steelseries.com and having a look at what they have to say

00:09:23.560 --> 00:09:29.600
about it because the unit itself feels very solid without being too heavy and

00:09:27.680 --> 00:09:33.360
this gives you some idea of all the customizability that is available here's

00:09:31.640 --> 00:09:38.560
a quick list of a bunch of games that support it dirt dirt 2 GTR uh live for

00:09:37.040 --> 00:09:44.320
Speed never heard of that Need for Speed I've definitely heard of that one it's very mainstream um used by the pros

00:09:42.920 --> 00:09:50.120
interesting tested and improved by professional racing drivers including

00:09:46.760 --> 00:09:50.120
Dario Fran

00:09:50.839 --> 00:09:57.720
chitty wow that's kind of cool I mean it's one thing when there's

00:09:55.640 --> 00:10:01.279
like a mouse that's like approved by Pro Gamers but when you have like a we

00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:05.079
that's approved by pro drivers who like actually have to like risk their lives

00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:09.680
to do what they're doing and they say it's okay then that's uh sort of

00:10:07.079 --> 00:10:13.160
meaningful actually prefer a neutral setup okay you can compromise between

00:10:11.640 --> 00:10:19.760
this and this so I think the point of all of this is

00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:24.360
the convenience factor so not having the

00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:24.360
bulky setup the customizability

00:10:25.040 --> 00:10:31.200
factor yeah it's kind of neat I mean it's a lot better than holding like a

00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:34.800
Wii remote so the PC is still light years ahead of

00:10:33.079 --> 00:10:40.079
consoles in terms of that the one drawback from my mind is lack of forc

00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:43.920
feedback so personally I like I have a hard time with racing games already if I

00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:48.320
don't have forc feedback I have a much harder time with racing games however if

00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:51.320
you just want yeah if you just want the convenience factor if you don't care

00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:54.760
about the force feedback and you want something that you can just kind of pack

00:10:53.160 --> 00:10:57.839
up and take with you somewhere very conveniently then this might be the way

00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:02.000
to go so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the s from
