Fanatec - General Discussion

[Yard_Sale]

I’ve never had a bad experience with Fanatec, in part because I bare in mind that sim racing peripherals are an extremely niche market, and I calibrate my expectations accordingly

Soooo….

I’m sitting there thinking really hard about pulling the trigger on the simagic pedals and figure i’ll go look at the podiums one last time and notice closer to the bottom of the page something to the effect of; ‘mounting holes for future haptic support.’

….what the what?

And i have to ask, does that mean fanatec will release some sort of haptic product, similar to the simagics? Or if that’s just a generic mount for bass shakers, or whatever?

just looking for a generic, yeah, Fana’s working on something, or no that’s for 3rd party stuff. Figure, if Fana’s working on it the podiums might be worth buying. If not, its been so many years waiting, I’m just going to get the Simagics and move on. I’ve been using the csl’s, for far too long, waiting for a non suck haptic pedal solution, which seems as if it will never happen.

Appreciate any rumor mill, regardless of how general it may be.

Tyty!

But the haptics doesn't work on GT7 ??

They "work" in that they can be fitted to the pedals without modifying them.

You still need a way to connect them to SimHub (via a laptop or desktop PC) and then have the game speak to them.

hah, thanks. Of all the things you could have said, that might have been the least expected, lol!

Still, it would be awesome if Full Force, and therefore, ‘no pc in the middle,’ set up being possible exists down the road, it would sway me to wait for the Podium(3 pedal set). Today’s PC prices are kinda relevant to this problem as the only PC available at my place is a $400 cheapo laptop, bought a couple years ago purely to update the fanatec firmware. Not sure how it would perform with simhub. Rest of the house is Mac’s :/. So if I have to buy a window’s pc to use haptics, I’ll probably go all the way getting something capable of running iracing//ac evo etc. If that’s the case, saving $500~ on the, becomes sorta relevant.

Here’s the link which threw me last night:
