Fanatec - General Discussion

[Jezza819]

Try clicking on your setup 2 & changing it to auto then click on it again & change it back to setup 2 & see if that changes it to 8Nm ? I have DD+ & after I load my specific game setup & go to wheelbase it doesn’t always show 18Nm but by changing setup to auto & back it shows correct Nm value. Worth a try. I’m hoping next app update will fix this issue

Hmm. I'll try that but it will be this weekend before I'm on it again.

The dd pro with Boostkit has always statet 6nm on the fanatec app on pc. 6nm is the holding torque of the boosted dd pro, hence 6nm in the app.

IIRC:
default 4nm holding / 5 nm peak
boostkit 6nm holding / 8nm peak

The dd pro with Boostkit has always statet 6nm on the fanatec app on pc.

This is only true if the FFS is set to linear, with peak it should show 8 Nm.
With the latest updates that implemented FullForce, the holding torque has also been increased to 8Nm and there is no longer an FFS setting.

Thanks for the clarification @supergt, i read about the holding torque increase on the dd+ but not about an increase regarding the dd pro.

I thought I remembered it showing 8nm when the FFS setting was on the app. So it should be showing 8nm now?

 

[super_gt]

Yes.

You know. With Fanatec taking so long to release the full podium pedal line up, it would be great to know if those holes drilled into the back, were for haptics to be tied into the Full Force system. It would give a reason to wait for the 3 pedal set.

It appears, Fanatec posted the latest App update within the last 24 hours. Unfortunately, there's no mention of the release notes. Given this latest version is beyond the HOTFIX V1.5.4.1 this one could have the 60 or so App updates mentioned by Maurice. I wonder if this version will no longer need the whole "UNINSTALL" and "INSTALL" process. 🤔

Fanatec App V1.5.4.2​

Fanatec App V1.5.4.2​

Its odd the way it appeared - I’m thinking it was posted to the “official” page because so many people were not finding it on the forum

Why the version number change? Maybe just their tracking system needed a new rev. Don’t think its the “big” app update promised

No.

No.

Yeah, I’m not updating anything again until the one arrives with the big list of fixes.

I tried that today. Clicking on AUTO shows 8nm, going back to Setup 2 shows 6nm. Setups 1, 2, 3, and 4 show 6nm, setup 5 shows 8nm. I do have the screenshot of that setting prior to the app update and it shows it at 8nm but that was before Full Force.

"and a formula setup incorporating products still in development will also be on show as a preview of where Fanatec is taking sim racing next. "

It sounds interesting.👀

 

[ANDRITSOULAS]

Heads up!
Price reduction on many products!
Bundles,wheelbases, steering wheels, pedals !

 

[ANDRITSOULAS]

Just updating regarding the price reduction, it seems that even for QR2 and QR2pro wheel side went down 50%, also for the type c qr2 shaft.
Many more accessories and add ons like handbrake and shifter are now in a lower price also.

It seems like these will be the standard prices for these products for now on? (not).

As far as i can tell there is no ''limited time offer'' banner or anything like this (edit : most of these products have the "gear up'' banner on them, but some of them like the Podium DD wheelbase and Clubsport DD+ does not have this particular banner)

(edit) It seems there is a limited time deal 'Gear up'' with deals in many products. But for some reason the do not even mention in the Fanatec forum

F1 system bundle

consisting of the DD+ and a licensed F1 branded Formula V3 wheel

No mention of pedals or anything else as part of the “system”, would think Podium pedals w an Formula cockpit setup would be a logical adds to go beyond just a branding exercise

Surely Fanatec must have more to show in Tokyo than that bundle. It said ahead of the show that it would display products that are in development to show where Fanatec is taking sim racing next. A bundle of existing hardware with a new F1 livery on the steering wheel doesn't fit that description LOL

Yeah, this is when you tell us about the full force compatible haptic system and how it integrates with your new pedal set and how that somehow justifies their price.

Or something..

Well still a couple more days to go, but nothing further posted on the Forum or Reddit, so we’ll see if there’s a surprise on the public days

EDIT - last day canceled as typhoon approaches
