Fanatec - General Discussion

[Jezza819]

The game shows in Fanalab and I've assigned the wheel settings to it (one of the 5 wheel presets) on the game profile tab. I've only recently bought a PC so still learning tbh.

I've got to try and figure out how to do that. Right now I have all 5 presets filled but I thought I heard you can assign settings to the game in Fanalab so you can technically have more than 5. I've got Project Motor Racing ordered and I'm probably going to get LeMans Ultimate and Assetto Corsa EVO at some point so that's 8 presets I need.

Hi I'm seeing the GT DD Extreme on the refurb store and was wondering if anyone has bought from the refurb store before and has had any issues? I've read about Clubsport DD+ wheels cogging, creaking and clicking and people getting RMA'd units sent to them with the same issue. The price is quite attractive though

I've just joined the Fanatec DD universe!

Recently purchased a GT DD Pro 5NM... and was wondering if there were any recommended in-game and wheelbase settings I can start off with for 1.61 update?
Obvs there are a lot of vids on YT, but those seem a bit old and I'm not sure if they're outdated?
Any guidance would be appreciated, thx!

Have a look at the link in my signature, I've got the 8Nm but they might be a good starting point.

Unfortunately, every game is going to be different. There are only a few settings that I share between games. Your best bet is to take the recommended Fanatec settings on their forum (per game) and make adjustments. Most people have recent updates within each topic. For me, the damper adjustment has the biggest affect. I tend to have that on the low side, if not all the way off. If you're playing on a PC, the Fanatec App has a pretty good explaination of each setting and what it does. I'm on a DD1, so I can't be any more help. Welcome to the Fanatec Eco System!

DD+ on PS5 pro

After some time spent mostly w GT7, FH5 & some F1, the FFB has definitely changed from 467, not in a good way

Some force related value or multiplier has changed. - suspension compression and release espescially is much more forceful and abrupt - when combine w steering input really feels off and harder to controll

Went back to 467 - and got stuck in an update loop. Back to 463 which fixed that and then up to 467 which is where I’m staying - my PVGT encoders and PBME buttons all work properly

I'm only playing GT7, so I guess I won't have to worry about tinkering settings for each game.

Thanks for the input, fellas! 🤝

Try out @Abarth_71 settings - I’ve used them before and agree they’d be a good place to start

Fanatec’s settings have not been update since the Pro was introduced a few years back, as they really aren’t console users so look for others

Also GT7 does use the Auto setting on the wheel menu - about the only game that does - and its not bad actually

Well so much for that - next time I turned the base back on its stuck in update mode. Spent several hours trying various downgrade/upgrade steps. I can go back to 464 and earlier (2.4.X.x) or 468 and later (2.6.X.x) but NOT the 2.5.X.x FW I want - arrghh.

The whole uninstall/reinstall/reboot/reflash is soooo tedious - would really love something that just handled FW directly - pick the version and install it - part of the new app? would be nice

So stuck going forward I guess so hope they fix the FFB
