HORI Farming Vehicle Control System for PC (Windows 11/10)

As soon as I got my Hori FS wheel , joystick and pedals I updated it as advised by Hori to prevent the problem with the steering wheel. I’ve used it for a month now with no problems at all. I think the quality is very good apart from the buttons on the control panel could have been a bit more premium, but everything works perfectly. The joystick is really nice to use and very precise as is the steering wheel which is very comfortable and very precise also. The indicator stalk is a very nice addition. The pedals work very well also. It’s very easy to change the controls settings. For me, the only downside is the price.. I think it’s overpriced by about £100. I bought it to replace my Saitek / Logitech Farm sim control panel and wheel, and the new Hori wheel and joystick are much much better. Overall the quality is very good, and hopefully it will last for several years.. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy one

once i recieved the Hori farming conrtol systerm i went on to https://hori.co.uk/hpc-043u/ and downloaded the firmware update software. with the update i have not had isusse with the steering wheel which was report earlier in the reviews. there is no force back on the steering which does not bother me. the main reason for me buying it is the joystick control unit which once you master the function on each buttons works perfectly for me. you can also remap the buttons in the farming simulator 22 game. over all have found the Hori farming vehicle control system very good.

Improves gameplay. Highly recommend.

This is a great Wheel and experience, as long as it works. After about 3 month my wheels started to acting up. It one Windows, one deleted a save game or switched me between vehicles. And this is the reason it got 0 stars the customer service is ridiculous. For a month now the want to have videos, the files to large for il and I have to use a file share platform and have to pay for it myself. I promise that this is the worst buy I ever did, just because of the customer service, which is not worse than the would have none but cost you money to get your guarantee right cut down to shreds.

Hey folks, just thought I’d put some of my thoughts together after 3 days of using the Hori Farming Simulator setup for PC. I’ll go over my pros and cons, what I like and what I don’t, since there doesn’t seem to be a ton of reviews out there aside from some outdated Amazon reviews and videos from YouTubers who were sent it to review; hopefully it’ll help you decide if it’s something you want to purchase or not! We’ll start the with the pros. For starters, if you’re like massively into FS, you’ll love it. It adds a whole new level to your immersion, and for me, it’s made every task so much more rewarding, since it’s obviously a little more demanding than a gamepad etc. I’ve encountered zero bugs so far, which was the main issue I’ve seen everyone online complaining about; it seems the wheel used to have issues with registering movement/turning when it wasn’t actually being moved, however it seems Hori have fixed this with a software update, which they mentioned online and also on a piece of paper inside the box. The side panel/joystick is definitely the star of the show, being far more realistic than its Logitech counterpart, I would guess being on par with the Thrustmaster farmstick. The buttons are nicely and realistically laid out, and the hand throttle, light/indicator stalk, and steering knob are welcome additions. Further, the ‘mode’ button on the loader joystick opens up extra functionality by allowing extra key binds. Overall it’s just a great product and if you want to take your experience to the next level of immersion, I believe this is absolutely the way to do it. And now for the cons. We’ll start with the price, which I believe is about £50-£100 too high; I purchased mine from Amazon for £370 ($471 USD) which did hurt a bit, but since FS is my most played game, I didn’t mind paying. I think the build quality is good, but its not quite ‘£370 good’, especially since the wheel also lacks force feedback, and auto-returns to the centre, which they do not do IRL. The biggest issue so far has been the button mapping/keybind stuff; when I first used the system very few of the controls worked, but resetting all the keybinds to standard fixed this. However, I find the default keybinds to be a bit unnatural and like, just all over the place, so it takes a while to figure out where you want your actions/functions to be, and to get them to work. Another issue with keybinds is the lack of control options for navigating the in-game menu/shop/map area (this is an issue with all wheels I believe, not just the Hori), which means a keyboard or gamepad is still necessary for some actions. The addition of the hand throttle is a welcome one, however, I can’t seem to get it to work alongside the foot pedal controls like it would IRL, it seems you can only control the throttle with one or the other, which has been a bit disappointing (although I could be the problem there, maybe I just haven’t worked it out yet). Another thing worth noting is that this wheel/pedals/side panel setup is for *PC ONLY*, it does not work with consoles, but that’s fine for me since I’m a PC user. I’ll finish up with a little TLDR: PROS: . Immersive . More rewarding experience . Bug-free . Realistic controls layout . Great functionality for keybinds CONS: . A bit overpriced . Build quality is ‘fine’, not amazing but not bad at all . Lack of force-feedback . Time-consuming to change keybinds . Hand throttle doesn’t work alongside the foot throttle Overall, setting aside a few issues with key binds and the price, I’m loving this setup so far; it makes everything so much more fun and rewarding, and it makes little things I might usually hire AI to do, fun again. If it were paired with a proper farming sim gearstick etc, it would be the perfect setup IMO. If you’re able to justify the price, and you don’t want to purchase different sim components from different brands, and don’t mind potentially taking some time to set your own key binds for the controls, I highly recommend the Hori Farming Vehicle Control System!

Great build, hard to get use to but you can get it after a while

It’s good for what it’s designed for

[UPDATE] 3/5 I have today returned this product. While most of which I mentioned originally still applies the durability is just not there. In only a short period the wheel itself is 'loose' from the base (It could have been like this from the start and I not noticed). For example there is flex when you press on either side of the wheel, aka the wheel moves and the base does not. There is also a few centimetre movement if you lift the wheel away from the base. Honestly for £380 it's just not good enough even with all the accessories, my main concern being I have no confidence in it lasting much longer than its basic 1 year warranty period. I do hope they will release the side unit (joystick and buttons) separately at some point as I would definitely considering adding that to my setup considering it is a reasonable price. The joystick and lever feels good with no flex unlike the wheel. In conclusion. It works, the wheel, buttons, pedals, joystick, they function. The quality however is not there and traditional gaming wheels for less money feel so much better. I am going to be getting myself a more 'racing' focused wheel as the quality is so much better than this and includes force feedback. I am then planning to add a Thrustmaster Farmstick for control of telehandlers/forklifts etc (as I really enjoyed this aspect of the product). [ORIGINAL REVIEW] 4/5 Seen a lot of reviews that are based on the release day issues so here is my first impressions on it with the firmware update installed. First things first it does absolutely work, the firmware update seems to have fixed any steering issues. The materials feel good, the buttons feel ok, just ok. Some of the large buttons on the control unit feel cheap but the stuff you touch most the time (wheel, joystick, lever control thing) feel good with a rubbery type material. The pedals themselves are metal which is nice, the pedal base is plastic and again feels ok. Durability is obviously TBD but no obvious issues. Compatibility wise it obviously works well with Farm Sim, with most key binds already being pre-setup. It does also (despite what I have seen on reddit/reviews) work very well with American truck sim (ATS). ATS has very good wheel support therefore you can adjust pretty much everything including steering, pedals, button maps etc. You can setup the indicator stalk to be your D/N/R level and if you wanted the buttons on the back of the wheel for gear changing (but I use true auto). So first impressions are good, it does seem to be 'worth it' if not on the higher end price wise. You get alot of components for the money even if there is no feedback system on the wheel.
