i have been searching for a gt3 style wheel for the CSL Universal Hub V2 but have only found a couple of slop items so i was wondering if there are any good ones out there
if you also have any other good wheel recommendations that are compatible i would love to see!
Hello, I just purchased a fanatec nascar wheel for my oval racing setup and I was wondering how I can use the wheel without a hub and just use the QR2 on my club sport dd+ wheel base. I am trying to use it with no hub to get as close to real as possible.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
Looking to see what’s out there as far as aftermarket upgrades for the v3’s. I’ve seen brake upgrades (similar to the performance kit which i already have). What else is there that might be a worthy upgrade? Thanks
I am so disappointed with my experience. I am very much a set-it-and-forget-it type dude. I've got the CSL cockpit, shifter, 8nm base, CSL P1 V2 Wheel, and CSL pedals with load cell braking.
First problem is the shifter. Bought a refurbished shifter on the first go-round. It stopped working. Reached out to tech support and they replied quick but they wanted me to do stuff like take the shifter apart and check connections, etc. I did it, it didn't help. Returned the refurbed shifter and bought a BRAND NEW shifter. Worked good for a while. Intermittent issues but for the most part it worked enough that i forgave it. Until one day I did a practice session in iRacing, super thoroughly enjoyed myself and then when the practice session was over I started the race session and the shifter just stopped working and has not started working again. Whatever.
The big issue has been the steering wheel buttons just randomly stop working. I could forgive the shifter. But the steering wheel fucks me over so hard. Just in the middle of a race, all the buttons stop working, most importantly the shifters. Last night I was in an amazing race in a split higher than I usually placed in and I was super excited about it. 11th place in a ridiculously tight field, might have been like 5 seconds behind the number 1 car. 3 laps into the race all of the sudden my steering wheel shifter buttons just stop working. I'm stuck in 3rd gear. I just pull off to the side and quit.
I just went into the fanatec website and I added the cost of all the stuff I've bought from them over the past two years. I'm at $1800. I can't in good conscience sell it used at full USED value. How do I even get out of it?
I have a 10% coupon from ANOTHER time they fucked me over. The CSL cockpit came incomplete. It was going to take 3 months to get another one and the way they were going to do it was to ship me a WHOLE CSL cockpit for me to pick the 1 little backet out and then SHIP THE WHOLE THING BACK. I made my own bracket and they gave me a 10% discount to appease me but it left a nasty taste in my mouth.
I was going to use the coupon to buy a new wheel base (12nm) but now I think I just want to leave. What's the point?
I got a 3rd party rim and im wondering if its too thin. Can anyone measure the diameter of the rim width for me?
After 1 yeah with my TGT going full Fanatec, has been a great ride so far
I just got the CSL elite cockpit from Amazon today, and a few steps in, realized the chassis wasn't stable, thought I wrongly did one of the steps and started from scratch. Paid attention to the orientation of the holes on each tube, the same problem. Upon close inspection of the pieces, I noticed that both "h" pieces came with bent feet. Now I'm not sure if it's meant to be like that or got a bad or replaced unit. What do you guys think? Should I return it?
Looking to sell this. And was needing advice for pricing. I bought it new for $2400 AUD. Just over a year ago. And I’m trying to selling it for 1.5k is this far pricing. I had someone offering 1.2 max for it. Am I right in saying no or was it a fair offer
I don’t know if it’s just me but I’m sick of dealing with shitty drivers. I don’t get to race much maybe a few hours on the weekends. Every few months there’s either an update or something else that requires me to uninstall everything Fanatec related on my PC because the uninstalled they have always fail or cancel no matter what I do. By the time I figure something out I’m out of playtime for the week so I just shut it off and go about life.
Ever since the app update I’ve had nothing but issues. At this point I’m thinking of posting all of it on eBay and switching to something else like simagic, any recommendations that are still decently priced?
Both versions are made of PLA + Anodized Aluminum
Long story short, my DD GT was knocked over today with the power cord plugged in and it looks like the port got dislodged or moved. The cable plugs in but the base doesn’t seem to get any power. Is this repairable? Covered under warranty? Or will I have to get a new base?
Bonjour,
J'espère que vous allez pouvoir m'aider 🆘
Hier j'ai joué sur plusieurs jeux donc Assetto Corsa et tout fonctionnait parfaitement bien et ce même après avoir installé le nouveau Mods avec les 6 nouvelles voitures (Aston, Mustang, Porsche, Ferrari, Bmw, Mc Laren). Ce matin j'ai modifié qques paramètres pour optimiser les graphismes car je n'utilisais pas vmt le potentiel de ma carte graphique et qd j'ai voulu lancer le jeu il m'a indiqué un message d'erreur concernant la version d'un paramètre d'une des nouvelles voitures qui était trop ancien donc je l'ai installé et le jeu s'est parfaitement lancé. Mais dès que j'ai voulu rouler, j'ai directement eu des mini oscillations dans le volants qui ne cessent jamais et ce malgré avoir réglés tous les paramètres (je pense) qui étaient censés supprimer ces oscillations. Pour moi ce ne sont pas des oscillations liées au FFB mais on dirait que c'est dû a l'échange de données entre le jeu et ma base. Cela n'empêche pas de rouler mais c'est clairement désagréable et anormal.
Ps: c'est une base DD EXTREME
Auriez-vous vous des pistes a me donner pour résoudre cela ?
Je suis nouveau sur pc et c'est mon premier post ici donc j'espère que la procédure était la bonne pour avoir un retour 🙄
Je mets une petite vidéo pour que vous puissiez voir par vous même.
D'avance merci et bon weekend
My Podium DD2 bricked while doing a simple firmware update - something that I have been doing without a problem since my first wheel base in 2015.
Wheel base worked perfectly before update (attempt) and now the unit is toast. Waiting for customer service to get back to me but that seems it will not be a fast turnaround. Based on all I have researched this is going to be painful, long time to resolve and expensive if I need a new DD and new QR2 adapter for my 5 wheels. And all because of a failed automated update! Had I only taken the blue pill and not run the update.
Any settings I make in the Fanatec app get reset once the app is closed. I’m only really interested in a few simple tweaks:
- Adjust the min/max pressure for the brake pedal.
- Have the rev light quickly flash when the limiter is hit.
I’ve tried doing some research on this and it doesn’t seem to be a common issue. Is this a bug or am I missing something obvious here?
I’m not interested in profiles, per-car-settings or anything like that, I just want my rev lights to behave consistently across games and the pedal calibration to persist. I’m on app version 1.2.2.1
Fanatec event just announced. Hopefully some really exciting new products. I’d like to see the podium line expanded. Some new wheels on both the high end and mid range would be nice
My foot is flat to the floor and there is no throttle input that can reach 100%. Is it broken
Not sure how to describe this issue I'm having. I have the dd pro with the Porsche vision gt wheel and upgraded to the csl v2 elite pedals. I have had a few issues such as complete loss of force feedback for a few seconds and the most annoying one I'm having is if I crash the car and the wheel pulls to the right, the wheel will stay pulling to the right even after I've finished crashing and driving straight.. I have to fight the wheel, this only occurs for about 5 seconds before the wheelbase catches up.. It's not due to damage on the car, it's like the wheelbase freezes or lags. Just wondering if anyone else has had/resolved this issue.
I’m currently using the 8Nm CSL DD. I have Simnet SP Pro pedals and a very heavy duty aluminium profile cockpit rig and I’m pretty happy with it all, but I’m starting to think about upgrading my wheelbase.
I’m already heavily invested in the Fanatec ecosystem (I’ve got five Fanatec wheels), so I’d ideally like to stick with Fanatec for the upgrade. I’m also PC-only.
At the moment I’m torn between the DD+ and the Podium DD. For those who’ve tried both (or upgraded), is the Podium DD actually worth it over the DD+?
Would really appreciate any thoughts or experiences.
I wanted to give a shout-out to Fanatec's customer service today. I'd always heard bad things about them, but that's changed! I recently bought some used magnetic paddle shifters, which were unfortunately broken, i got scammed…I asked Fanatec if they could repair them, and after explaining the situation, they told me the warranty had expired two years ago. BUT Fanatec decided to give me a brand new set of magnetic paddle shifters as compensation!! Imagine my surprise! This is the second time I've dealt with Fanatec's customer service, and I have to say it's by far the best I've ever experienced. I'd like to thank Gaurav, who was very kind and helpful! It's often the dissatisfied customers who write reviews, so I wanted to share my experience. Happy sim racing! Colin.
