Simagic Green Flag Bundle: settings and limitations

The Green Flag Bundle combines the 9 Nm EVO Sport Direct Drive base, a GT Neo or Neo X, and P700 pedals. Our test highlights an adaptable package that feels convincing on track, with reservations about the standard pedals and occasional force-feedback interruptions in rally driving.

An upgradeable package with a choice of wheel

The bundle includes only one of the two wheels. The 300 mm GT Neo uses a GT and formula-style shape, while the Neo X is a hub that accepts different rims, including a round wheel for rally driving. We mention several French price figures around €700–750. These are approximate figures from the presentation dated 5 October 2026, not a firm quoted price.

UP+ modularity allows additional accessories, including alternative paddles, pedal vibration or hydraulic upgrades, and a separate display for the base. These are not included in the bundle. A desk mount is also available separately, although We recommend a cockpit to keep the equipment stable.

Connections and flexibility on PC

On PC, peripherals from other brands can remain connected directly over USB. The base’s accessory ports are intended for Simagic equipment rather than serving as a universal hub. The P700 can connect either to the base or directly to the PC.

The wheel includes its quick release. We report no play once it is locked, but note paint wear on the base-side fitting after repeated wheel changes. Both wheels can potentially be retained when moving to another brand of base, provided the mounting and USB connection are adapted, including through MagLink where appropriate.

EVO Sport and P700: different compromises

The base is described as having a 21-bit encoder, active cooling and a low-inertia motor. We report no perceptible cogging and a quick response. These are driving impressions rather than measured latency results. Mounting options include the underside, sides, or the front with an additional bracket.

We consider the P700 the least accomplished part of the package. Its standard throttle travel is longer than we prefer, without the end-stop adjustment we want. The high heel rest and pedal dimensions also feel restrictive with size 45 shoes. During our floor-mounted test, the pedals moved despite their grip pads.

Assembly does allow pedal spacing and position to be adjusted. Different springs and elastomers change the brake feel; We particularly like a softer initial phase followed by firmer resistance. The optional Racing Kit adds further travel adjustment possibilities. Those upgrades should not be mistaken for features of the standard pedal set.

GT Neo or Neo X

We appreciate the GT Neo’s quiet paddles, comfortable shape and illuminated controls, while noting some grip wear. The Neo X provides more freedom in rim choice, although thumb-encoder reach depends on the installation. Its paddles require fitting rather than arriving pre-mounted.

Wheel diameter affects the experience. At the same torque, moving the hands farther from the shaft reduces the force felt at the rim. A larger wheel can also increase inertia, depending on its weight and construction. We therefore find the compact GT Neo particularly well matched to the available 9 Nm.

Setting up SimPro Manager

Profiles can be assigned to games and loaded automatically. We recommend leaving the base at maximum strength in its software, then adjusting gain within the simulation. We give 900°, 540° and 360° as steering-angle examples for different cars, and prefer the “Firm” stop setting because it makes the rotation limit easier to identify.

In Le Mans Ultimate, we lower FFB Details from the preset value of 20, which feels excessively grainy to us. Friction, damping and inertia offer additional ways to tune resistance. Slew rate controls how quickly torque changes, rather than simply how fast the wheel rotates; limiting it can reduce unwanted high-frequency effects.

The LEDs can display ABS, traction control or pit-limiter information. With a USB connection, SimHub and plugins such as ATSR or Daniel Newman Racing provide additional profiles to reproduce RPM behaviour for supported cars. We value this flexibility but acknowledge that the initial configuration takes some learning.

The P700 should be recalibrated after changing springs or elastomers. Users can select angle-based or load-cell input, then adjust response curves and dead zones. A lower dead zone prevents a resting foot from applying unintended braking. The percentages shown in the demonstration are examples, not universal recommendations. An upper dead zone can also make full input available before the physical end of travel.

Circuit and rally impressions

In iRacing and Le Mans Ultimate, We describe readable steering that loads up through corners and becomes lighter as the front tyres begin to slide. Our latest sessions no longer show the minor resonances reported a year earlier, an improvement we attribute to firmware updates. Once adjusted and familiar, the brake provides consistent reference points and controllable release into corners.

In Assetto Corsa Rally, however, some hairpins produce a brief interruption of the entire force-feedback output with our high-strength settings. We suspect that a limit is being reached, but cannot establish the cause. This observation should be distinguished from ordinary clipping that merely removes detail. Reliability over several years also remains unproven.

What we liked

  • Readable circuit feedback and extensive adjustment options.
  • Modular wheels and access to SimHub configuration.
  • The two-stage brake feel achieved with a spring and elastomers.

What we liked less

  • Occasional force-feedback interruptions in rally driving.
  • Limited standard P700 travel adjustment and ergonomics.
  • Pedal movement on the floor and the reported wear marks.
