Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Extreme Wheel

[RS60NR]

Yeah sorry forgot to mention the NDP setting to 50 on all the tuning slots - this has been a bug before and then fixed a few versions back - now its returned, so frustrating that these bugs creep back in

I always record my settings before updating as well since they can’t seem to be trusted to solve it

I also tried one click down on torque but the FFB is different now so not the easy solution for me. Feels mainly like suspension effects due to rebound or weight transfer are stronger and quicker based on my testing so far

What NDP settings do you use? It bothers me that the wheel keeps drifting toward the center, and there's also a slight oscillation.

You can never really eliminate oscillation completely, even with high values.

Before the latest FW I was running FFB 80 NDP 17 NFR 8 INT 12 FEI 70 with FOR 80 for C & S tires and 60 for R

Torque 5 sens 2 in game

Since the update I’ve up NDP a few points and FOR at 60 or 70 but this is still being worked on

The oscilation never is completely gone but some things make it worse - sens in game too high also

Great, thanks. I'll give that a try.

But what's your NIN value?

But what's your NIN value?

0 - Never use NIN - adding inertia to the steering system seems off in sporty cars - maybe in a truck sim? Also Maybe might contribute to oscillation? never tested it for that

Okay, thanks.👍 I'm only interested in GT7. I have a second PC setup. 😉

Sharing my experience so far with FW update.

• DD+ updated to latest FW for extra Nm > no issue with FW install. Can confirm on NDP defaulting to 50 after FW updates
• Couple of days of use on Formula V3 (transitioning from V2.5) > seamless transition, just slightly bigger wheel. Same as my V2.5.
  • I added paper shim to V3 buttons to remove unwanted vibration noise
  • I do like the funky joystick change on left side, I used to hit it accidentally with hand when turning sharp (which prompted me to remove the joystick hat on my V2.5 version)
  • Probably placebo, but feels like GT7 menu navigation feels slightly with V3 wheel
• Using V3 wheel, DD+: FFB 70, FF 45, NDP 20, NFR 4, NIN 2, INT 5, FEI 100, FOR 100, SPR 50, DPR 50

So what settings are you guys using now?

The new default settings feels like a good starting point for me. I had to bump up the in game FF torque to 4 and I'm still not sure how what to use for the FF sensitivity. I'm now at 5 and it feels alright I guess.

After the 1.71 I have FFB/FFS/FEI/FOR/DPR set to 100, and NDP/NFR/NIN/INT/SPR at 0. For road cars I lower DPR to 60 but that’s about it.

I feel there’s no point in adding anything to the signal anymore. PD really dialed everything in.

Anyone running the latest Fanatec App v1.5.3.1 with DD+?

I've experienced erratic FFB on my DD+ since GT7 1.71 update. But I think I'm on previous App 1.4.2.3.

Like to know if others here are running the latest App v1.5.3.1 to see how stable it is on GT7. Thanks!

Yup I'm updated on everything. On auto it's the best GT7 FFB I think I've ever felt - on auto mode, and can be tweaked from there and is pretty good. It's too weak on auto for me on sports tires and way too weak with dirt tires. So I up the FFB. But I'm running 4/1 in GT7.

I also change from the default rotation to less than default on a lot of cars. Like down to 720 on some old road cars, etc.. PD reworked a lot of the FFB and it's pretty good now.

There's a bug in the advanced menu system though, where it'll freeze the menu system up. It's a known issue and they're (Fanatec) is fixing it, apparently caused by changed PD made in 1.71. I actually discovered a work-a-round, only use funky switch to scroll left in menu, not to the right. Go to brake setting first, not FFB and go that way. If you scroll right with the funky switch a few times it locks up the menu.

There's also some reported instability with the base where you can lose FFB but retain all other controls, that happened to me once. A quick wheel reboot fixes it. That's also apparently because of changed PD made in 1.71 and they are both investigating it. It happened to me when I accidentally pressed in on the funky switch and up at the same time though. But I played for hours after that with no problems at all.

It's not perfect but an upgrade. I'm not sure what GT7 1.71 feels like without the new firmware though, maybe it's the same, maybe not. I think Fanatec did change some things last FW update that may affect that. Might want to wait till next month's firmwares if everything is working. I was on the next to latest FW before this, that had the 18nm update, but not the FW/ driver right before this one that apparently fixed the bug caused by the first 18nm update that was overheating and freezing some wheels if using a lot of FFB. I just kept it under 75 for FFB and it was fine.

Thank you BWX!! appreciate you taking the time and providing extra details and workaround 🙏

Ideally like to wait for the next patch from Fanatec. If the wheel locks up again in GT7, I'll try the latest FW.

Should be a hotfix specifically for GT7 soon.

https://forum.fanatec.com/topic/20385-fanatec-app-v1531-download-and-feedback-thread/page/15/#findComment-173481

"The hotfix planned for this week will ONLY contain the GT7 freeze fix.

Eventually we can release another update next week which will then include around 60 App fixes which we have ready (including the F1 2026 UDP telemetry fix) but we do not want to combine them with the GT7 freeze fix this week"

 

[BWX]

For anyone not wanting to wade through the sea of 💩 at Fanatec support forum:

Apparently the hotfix this week mentioned in above post is only for CSL DD Pro and CSL GT Pro, (5 and 8nm) not the CS DD and CS DD + (12 and 18nm). The fix for our wheels will be towards the end of the month. That wasn't clear in the post they made last week.

Until then you can just not scroll left in the advanced on-wheel menu or wait to update.
