I have found that the precise integrated use of brake and accelerator are critical to braking, cornoring, and accelerating.. I am a GPL diehard that experiments with newer sims, but that classic open wheel racing without the aid of newer technology is where it is at for me. Much more is required of the driver, I like that, keeps me busy. Looking forward to getting the wheel set, hope to see it sometime in May Regards to all, Mike.
Lookiing forward to it. I trust that the pedals will be much improved over the beta version reported before as that is critical to my satisfaction with the system. I participate in flight sims as well and hope to have a set up where I only need one set of pedals for car racing and aircraft piloting.
We'll see. Anyone with experience with this? Looking forward to it regardless, Mike. Last edited: Apr 30, Joined Aug 22, Messages 25 0. Hey Darksaber, thank you for the review; how about some feedback on using it with a recent racing sim. My current opinion I've noted that a lot of the concern with the Fanatec wheel was actually based on the beta version of the wheel. It was commendable for them to openly involve the sim racing community in performing beta testing during their development of the final product.
Of course the beta version of the Fanatec wheel set would probably be inferior to the production version of the G25 in some ways. But I suspect due to the open beta testing and apparent response and corrective action taken, that the Fanatec wheel we recieve in a week or so will be far superior to it's competiters overall and worth the price difference.
I supsect that we will get more value for the money than for the G Fanatec has thrown down the guantlet, and I think they are going to take top honors when compared to current production models on the market. However, I am wondering what Logitec is going to do about it.
I bought the Fanatec Wheel and am looking forward to using it, but I respect and own more than one Logitec product and have been happy with them. Fanatec has raised the bar, Logitec will clear it and we will see some interesting improvements in game controls as a result of this healthy competition between two respectable vendors, and others. Status Update for my Fanatec Wheel Purchase.
Just recieved an email with an invoice attached stating that my payment has been recieved I ordered the Wheel a couple weeks ago and that it would now be shipped. Shipment will take about a week according to the invoice. So I should see it next week sometime, not this week. I guess they are sorting out their customer communications approach with this order and will improve upon it.
I suspect that will be my only "issue" with this. On-line vendors more often than not provide a tracking number that provides some status to the buyer, that is unless the US Post Office is making the delivery, then tracking numbers if provided are useless as per my experience. If there is anything I would change to date with my experience, it would be improving the on-line order status reporting and provision of shipment tracking numbers for customers. Perhaps the Fanatec folks will address these concerns as they did those for the product itself.
I have no big heartburn with this, unless the package is deliverd and sits on my doorstep and gets stolen without my being able to do anything to prevent it. Has anyone else recieved an invoice in the email? Joined May 9, Messages 2, 0. I have to wonder what that feels like in comparison to the real thing though. I've driven a porche boxter big difference i know and i'm curious how authentic it really is.
Fanatec Porsche name It's sort of neat that they adopted the Porsche style with the wheel. But frankly, I would rather have had the money spent on improvements to the hardware and software than paying for an expensive emblem on the wheel.
The possible advantage to the Porsche association is that Porsche may insist that products with their name on them be of high quality just like their cars.
I wish I had k to put into a Porsche of my own. Don't have a skate board anymore I'll comment on my experience with it, looking forward to it. Last edited: May 15, I was emailed today by their customer support department that there was a delay in clearing customs that is predictable and that the Wheels should arrive at the USA warehouse today to be shipped via DHL quickly on to our homes.
A DHL tracking number will be provided via email. I am glad to hear this as I need to plan on being home to recieve it or shortly after it arrives. One of the best procurement and shipping status reporting capabilities I have seen is on the newegg web site. Rank: Racing Permit. Hi all, the older fanatec wheels seem to-be "working" with the org. So here is what you can try to get the PS3 mode working on PC, which basically turns the wheel into a fully compatible Logitech G25, which Win10 will recognize as such and even Logitechs own drivers will work.
The surface feeling is fine now, yet i can't clearly feel if the wheel looses traction and slides. It seem that center spring and "allow games to modify settings" does nothing in the logitech settings.
I downgraded the firmware from to and this seemed to finally feel like it should or at least what i remember. I can clearly feel if i loose tire traction in corners or lift the gas, while the G25 mode still had stronger FFB, it lacked the detail i get with I now have to test all possible drivers and see if this also makes a difference, since i tried the oldest and noticed the vibration motor on my clubsports are not utilized with this driver version, instead the wheel vibrates.
