Mine also just started calibrating much more slowly upon startup. It also is taking 3+ seconds for it to jerk to center after it finishes rotating.

Have you contacted Fanatec? They of course told me to send a video, which I did and it shows the bumps and jerks while turning (which are now more pronounced than when I first posted here) rather clearly so hopefully something gets done.

If you have an electronic store near you. Take your power supply to get it checked.

Mine was only pushing out 16v instead of 24v and would take ages to power up.

I figured that the issue with taking forever to turn on was an issue with the power supply. I am surprised that Fanatec hasn't sourced new psu's for the US GT2's.

The slow startup is just one of the symptoms I am having. The wheel is not smooth even when not playing a game. Very notchy.

Same thing here. Is yours only like that when it's turned on?

cliff257 · Apr 28 2011, 3:42 PM #3226

Yes and its worse in ps3 mode

Been looking on the Fanatec site and everything is sold seperately..wheel/pedals/shifter. Trying to save some money and was wondering if anyone has any complaints about the plastic (cheap) brake/gas/clutch pedals???? The Clubsport seem to be made very well but dont know if I can throw down THAT much money at one time

sandboxgod · Apr 29 2011, 1:01 PM #3228

katpeeler a lot of people complain about the standard pedals. But if your budget just doesn't fit the CSPs then do what you have to do & if/when they break, just add on a bit more & see if they switch it out for CSPs. The GT2 is on back order for now anyway, you can just try to save extra for CSPs while you wait (drop standard pedal, add money for CSP). They appear to ship everything at once in the case of back ordered items

cliff257 · Apr 29 2011, 1:15 PM #3229

I didn't get the cs pedals. Had dfgt and the standard pedals are much better than the logitech's.

Shipped my replacement wheel today. Very pleased. If u have real issues with a fanatec wheel follow all instructions to the letter and it seems they give u service with a smile.

Thank You for your response.....I was wanting to get this for Forza when it came out this year so I guees I can wait a bit before I order. I also see a clamp sold on there website..Does this mean the wheel itself doesnt have a clamping mechanism??.....How much is wheel+shifter+Clubsport pedals??...Unable to get on there site at the moment???

Has anyone heard anything in awhile about the clubsport shifter? It's been a few months since anything has been mentioned about it.

djcslice · May 02 2011, 2:53 AM #3232

It was said to be released in Q3 2011 and I believe that they wanted have GT2 production settle out before they start shipping the clubsport shifter.

Fanatec... · May 02 2011, 3:44 AM #3233

I plan to announce something at E3 about the CSS

Spagetti69 · May 02 2011, 4:42 AM #3234

That's good news. I would like to know if this is compatible with a wheel stand or is it for sim rigs only.

1. Total package had cost me around $520 for shifter+gt2 wheel+CS pedals+shipping
2. I don't believe its required to order the Table Clamp. It was supposed to help further secure the wheel. I've read the clamp included with the wheel isn't as good as the Logitech or even the Thrustmaster 'claws' though. Fanatec might consider making a film about the different clamps or put up some more screenshots

We want to make it compatible to the current shifter mount as well as offering screw inserts to mount it to a cockpit

Thomas,
Are we still on track to receive our GT2 wheels in NA by the end of May? I ask because I am relocating at the start of June and may need to change my shipping address. Thank you for any information you can offer.

Franjo · May 02 2011, 2:19 PM #3239

Can't wait for the CSS! Thanks for the update Thomas

As far as I know are the wheels already on the way so we should be able to keep the shipping dates of the PWGT2
