SIMAGIC FX Pro: Screen, Controls and a Livery of Your Own

The SIMAGIC FX Pro puts a dashboard, a bank of illuminated controls and a six-paddle layout into a 290 mm formula-style wheel. Its large screen makes the upper half instantly recognisable; the carbon-fibre face around it is where a different livery can give the wheel a completely new character.

If you are personalising yours, start with two decisions: how you want the controls to read at a glance, and which skin matches your exact wheel revision. This guide explains the FX Pro layout, the difference between button labels and a full face skin, and what to check before ordering.

What makes the FX Pro different?

The FX Pro combines a 4.3-inch LCD with a 5 mm carbon-fibre plate and silicone grips. Across its face are 12 RGB buttons, four thumb encoders, five rotary encoder buttons and a seven-way switch. SimPro Manager is SIMAGIC’s software for configuring the wheel.

The screen has multiple display presets and real-time telemetry views. It gives the wheel a visual centre, while the surrounding controls let you build a layout around the adjustments you use most. For example, you might keep frequently changed settings near your thumbs and reserve other buttons for pit-lane or menu functions, where your simulator supports those assignments.

FX and FX Pro are different faces

The regular SIMAGIC FX is also 290 mm wide, but it has no integrated LCD and has three central rotary encoder buttons rather than the Pro’s five. That changes the shape and available space for the artwork. An FX skin should not be treated as an FX Pro skin simply because the names and overall width are similar.

Six paddles: the controls continue behind the wheel

The official FX Pro manual identifies two shift paddles, two customisable paddles and a dual-clutch pair. It also documents horizontal and vertical adjustment of the paddle shifters. The rear view helps explain why the front photo alone does not tell the whole story.

Before changing the graphics, take a moment to settle your button assignments. If you have already built muscle memory around a particular control, choose labels that support it. A new colour scheme should make your own layout feel coherent.

Screen settings, button labels and a face skin do different jobs

• The LCD and LEDs provide electronic information and lighting. Their setup belongs in the SIMAGIC software and the relevant game settings.
• Button-cap labels identify individual functions. SIMAGIC documents a set of 128 button-cap stickers with the FX Pro.
• A Lovely Stickers face skin changes the printed design around the screen and controls. It gives the wheel a livery without changing its electronics or dashboard software.

Think about these together when choosing a design. If you use the same colour to identify a function in your lighting setup, look at how that colour sits against the printed face. Also read the labels in the artwork: an attractive dial surround is only useful to you if its wording makes sense with your mapping.

Two Porsche-inspired looks for the FX Pro

RSR 2019: white, red and a dark lower face

The RSR Porsche 2019 livery places a white band around the screen, with red and grey shapes running through the lower controls. In the catalogue rendering, the dark lower section gives the five rotary surrounds a clear visual boundary. This is a way to carry a modern endurance-racing theme into a cockpit built around the FX Pro.

Gulf 917: a brighter classic racing theme

The Gulf Porsche 917 livery uses pale blue across much of the face with orange through the centre and lower edge. The screen and black grips remain strong dark elements, so the colour change is especially visible around them. Choose this direction if you want the graphics to be a prominent part of the wheel’s appearance.

Both linked products are listed for the SIMAGIC FX Pro. The car names describe the livery inspiration; the wheel model in the product description determines the intended fit. Explore the full FX Pro sticker collection for other racing themes.

Check your FX Pro revision before ordering

Our FX Pro product pages flag that this wheel has had different updates. Compare your own front face with the product artwork before choosing a kit. Pay particular attention to the screen surround, control openings, screw positions and outer edges. The model name alone is not enough to resolve a visible difference.

If anything looks different, email info@lovelystickers.com with a clear front photo of your wheel and a link to the design you want. We can check the match before you place the order. You can use the same address to discuss a specific design.

Fitting the skin without dismantling the wheel

The linked LS kits use laminated polymer-based stickers and are designed to go around the controls without taking the wheel apart. Work on a clean, dry surface and check the orientation before peeling the backing. Keep the display and controls unobstructed, then apply the pieces smoothly.

These are regular adhesive stickers, not a reusable cover designed for repeated removal and reapplication. Taking time to confirm the layout first is particularly worthwhile on a face with this many openings.
