MOZA Racing's new equipment at Gamescom 2024
MOZA has hit gamescom with new hardware - including their new CRP2 pedal set with an optional active pedal upgrade called mBooster.

gamescom 2024 is fully underway now, with a healthy dose of sim racing-related exhibitors. MOZA has especially pulled out all the stops to show everyone that they mean business, taking on the high-end market as well.

New CRP2 Pedal Set​

One of the new debutants from this year's gamescom is the new MOZA CRP2 pedal set. The new cousin of the well-loved CRP pedals features a dual-pedal setup as standard, the clutch pedal being optional.

With a new pedal set comes a lot of new features and upgrades:
- Aviation-grade Aluminum Construction
- 200KG Load Cell Sensor
- 15-bit Precision Angle
- Adjustable Pedal Feel for All Types of Racing Cars
- Adjustable Spring and Travel
- Carbon Fiber Heel Plate
- Direct Connection to PC

MOZA CRP2 Inversion Kit:

MOZA's Active Pedal​

Not only are the new CRPW2 pedals debuting, but MOZA is also revealing their new market leader challenger in their mBooster Active Pedal. This piece of equipment is a revolutionary piece of kit for MOZA and will put them in direct competition with some of the high-end heavy hitters in sim racing when it hits the virtual shelves.

As shown in the image above, the new Active Pedal is an addition to the new CRP2 pedals only. Instead of springs or elastomers, it uses a motor to imitate brake pedal feel and give feedback, such as when ABS kicks in. This also allows for easy software-side customisability.

Porsche Mission R Steering Wheel​

As expected, MOZA also showed their first licensed steering wheel, namely that of the Porsche Mission R. It features a futuristic design, a big center screen, and what appears to be a high-quality finish.

Unfortunately, we could not get our hands on the wheel yet, but we’d hope that that is only a matter of time.

Truck driver's Calls Finally Answered​

Whilst the focus around the new pedal technology for MOZA is obvious, the promised multi-function stalks have finally publically debuted. These stalks will be fully compatible with the MOZA truck wheel and provide an extra level of immersion for those who love to cruise the open road.

The new MOZA Multi-function Stalks. Three options with differing controls will be available to use.

Starting from the top left, the far left of the stalk is for your headlights and your fog lights. There are multiple buttons and function switches that make it look amazingly similar to a real light stalk.

The right-hand side stalk is the windscreen wipers, front and interestingly; the rear glass as well. Some trucks do have rear windscreen wipers, but that feature is mostly present in cars. Could this be revolutionary for those who love the free roaming titles like BeamNG.drive and Assetto Corsa's many modded roaming maps?

Finally, the bottom right stalk is designed for setting and adjusting the cruise control. Controlling the speed is the same as it would be in a regular car or truck and you can adjust it on the go. A great feature for something that is almost essential for real trucking.

What do you think about the new MOZA equipment? Let us know on X @OverTake_gg or down in the comments!

Interesting brake profiles for the car types - I always thought it's the other way around though, that the initial press meets with a lighter resistance and the pedal should harden up when pressed more. (Never driven a race car IRL) Here it's the reverse of that (except rally and GT4).
 
Excited to see some competition in the active pedals area. The only thing i'm not completely sold on is the 45.5mm of travel.
 
As far as the Truck Wheel add-on...Do we have an 18 gear shifter yet? One that doesn't require user modding like I haven't done since I had two floppy drives working with a Commodore C-64.

Ermh... All Elastomer disks are always compressed as a whole. The softer ones become compressed earlier, but the order on the shaft doesn't make any difference and you can mix them up whatever you like.
As long as you use the same disks overall, the brake will feel absolutely identically.

The only difference the order makes, is that if you out the soft ones closest to the pedalface, then that's the spot where the pedal-travel happens first and therefore all other disks will have to slide on the shaft.
If you put the soft ones towards the loadcell, only the soft ones will slide on the shaft.
That's why I put the softest elaatomers/springs towards the loadcell and the hardest ones towards the pedalface.
That way, the friction on the shaft is minimised.

Glad to see competition in the active pedal market!

Also very curious how their FFB stick base will be received. They seem to be really stepping up.

Not doubting just wanna see for myself, where did you see this?

That is too bad. I wonder if you could combat the low travel with longer pedal arms. Wonder how much you could get away with before theyre not powerful enough to send feedback sufficiently.

Thats what I did, extend the pedal arms although I am on but a lowly set of knock offs with regular elastomers.

What I REALLY want to know is price on these things.

Not sure I really want to sit down to drive a car and be presented with 1,764 pedal configuration options.

There's a screenshot of the software on the official website that has the sliders going up to 45.5mm. It might "just" be the travel inside of the casing and the final travel of the pedal might be higher. But looking at the pictures, i can't imagine it'll be that big of a difference, as the case itself is already angled towards the pedal.
