Btw, it might be of use to some of you. Ordered my F1 v3 wheel at the end of April. Shipment expected June 10-13, but there was no sign from Fanatec. I wrote to them and got an answer that there is a production issue and they will not send it to be earlier than September. So I just cancelled. I can always order it back when issues are fixed and I fo not need to wait 4 months for the shipment:-)

Did you not already receive the V3 wheel? Complained about some cheap plastic and noise then returned to Fanatec.
 
Glad fanatec is dishing out some free quality updates, come on PD, the gtddpro is needing this in the game, don’t let us wait too long! 😁
 
I have DD+ extreme, fullforce in GT7 is not feature making difference imo. it just vibrates like a toy on curbs. Sorry Fanatec, but I don't understand it, maybe mine is broken or something. Also I have formula v2.5 wheel, it has better feeling of fullforce than GT wheel. GT wheel feels empty when I enable FF. I usually completely disable or set to very low value.
I don't know how FF works on PC games, cuz never played one.
I also have DD pro, my suggestion is that noone needs DD+ if you have DD pro with 8nm power. Just cool it down, because I think thermal stability is better on DD+. if you are in hot environment definitely get DD+ and/or buy an air conditioner (in my case, I live in hot area and my DD pro behaves weird after driving couple of minutes. I had no issues on DD+ but I cool it down just incase)
So I think you don't need to try to enable it for DD pro, you can be disappointed...
 
Seems like there are still a lot of issues on DD+ with this release. I'll keep using the original torque boost firmware, which seems to be fine for the most part. Below is a summary of the official thread by AI:
For ClubSport DD+ owners, the new Fanatec App v1.5.1.2 update comes with several severe stability risks. Community members are reporting an ongoing PS5 bug in GT7 where the base randomly disconnects mid-race, locking the wheel and applying 100% throttle until hard reset. Furthermore, there is an official known issue where hot-swapping wheels in-game completely kills Force Feedback until a full game restart, alongside reports of steering wheels failing to be detected at all, which requires a manual re-flash of the Wireless Quick Release (WQR) firmware. It is highly recommended to stick with stable older firmware for now.
