You can use this on an M1. Don't know how easy it is to set up though.

Install the Fanatec software then open it. Plug in your wheelbase and it’ll pop up on the Fanatec software saying update available and follow the steps. Very easy tbh. If you have a load cell you have to connect that separately but it probably won’t have an update available as mine had never needed one

Or maybe i‘ll bite the bullet and buy a cheap subnotebook only for this purpose.I did sink so much money already in my new passion,“few“ bucks more or less….who cares

440 is a fully stable official driver and not Beta. It's however only the release driver for the BMW M4 GT3 wheel, therefore was not posted on the official driver download page but only on the BMW M4 GT3 webshop page.Fanatec Driver 439 is still the latest firmware version on the Fanatec website. 440 is a beta driver as indicated in Abarth_71's link.

Yeah, you did a good job summarizing my goals of tuning the wheel and my conclusions.
And I agree with you about YouTube, as well. I do enjoy making video, but I'm still a bit embarrassed to put out content alongside all the clickbait clowns... but I digress.
Nice update, @PirovacBoy, these are definitely my preferred settings now.
I still wouldn't put GT7 on par with ACC or iRacing's FFB, but the current state of things with your settings is probably the best it's been. The DD Pro's advanced tuning menu can be a little intimidating and that kind of control is not available on other wheels, so maybe that's why so many people haven't "seen the light" yet. Using my old settings or auto settings, the wheel does indeed feel completely limp.
Here's a theory: if PD literally just turned down the FFB signal — and that's exactly what they said they did — did they inadvertently give us access to a wider dynamic range to play around with? Was much of the pre-1.15 "numbness" really just the game clipping its own signal?
I highly doubt the game is sending any "more" or "different" FFB data; perhaps it's just sending it out at a much lower "volume". Now, using the wheel's advanced settings, maybe we are simply amplifying that more nuanced signal. I'm certainly getting a lot more detail when cornering now that I just don't recall being there before.
If/when/how PD "fixes" this moving forward, we might be better off going with low in-game Max Torque, then adding the strength back in through the wheel's own settings. It will be interesting to see what happens.
I was running 439 version of the driver software and my base DDP firmware was 1.1.5.3. In the driver software, both were reported as the latest with no new versions available, and Fanatec's driver page also links to 439. But your post and the forum link clearly show 440 as the latest version, and I could download it and install 1.1.6.4 on my wheel base.
For the record, the wheel felt the same in GT7 with both firmware versions.

As a fellow M1 Mac user, I would urge extreme caution doing this, if you can even do it at all.I have to say,it looks like a bigger hassle than finding someone with a pc though
Parallels can only run Windows 11 ARM version, and although Windows 11 ARM is technically backwards-compatible with 64-bit Windows applications, drivers must be specifically compiled for ARM CPUs to communicate with peripherals and I doubt Fanatec has done that.
Installing firmware or drivers through a virtualized environment is tricky enough (I would not recommend it, period), then adding the ARM component makes it even more precarious, if not impossible. Regardless, it's definitely not worth bricking your DD Pro.

From the first moment I tried faster cars in GT7, I felt a very clear case of clipping. FFB went numb and only an equally strong spring effect towards middle remained. Of course I tried to use max torque 1 in-game and FFB sensitivity 1 - no difference at all compared to 5/10 and lowered FF in Fanatec's tuning menu.
I just assumed it was a part of their FFB language and tried to adapt. It was fine and I was competitive, but now I'm clearly faster (DR going up) and it's a lot more fun. I can make corrections during corners that I couldn't before since I had no sensation of what was going on more than that I was at a somewhat optimal tyre slip.
So, I really hope you're wrong. I hope that max torque 1 in-game isn't clipping when they turn back the strength.
I'm hovering around A/A+ in EMEA so no slouch but no champion either.

I think you're right. There's no way the game can send you more/less/different data. But at a lower volume, sure... that makes sense. What's impressed me most about this wheelbase, was how much force it was capable of via the Tomahawk grind. I read in this thread or another that Fanatec has a new driver in the works that is supposed to be the Binford 5000 of all drivers. I hope so, and I hope you're right about the dynamic range. I'm one of those guys that wants to fight the car around the track. Hopefully I can accomplish that with a DD pro and I don't have to get a DD1

Are we talking“drivers“ or „firmware“?Cause,drivers wouldn‘t help solving the current issue for obvious reasons (hint: Ps5)

A "driver package " contains firmware versions for all the products. A newer firmware version can change drastically any characteristic of the product or even add something more ( compatibility, setting adjustment etc). What ever changes might come are "in" the product itself and even if you plug it in a console you can use/adjust/have it.

Out of curiosity, what Settings were you running before the Update.
Both in Game and in your Wheelbase.
Are you using the 8NM Power Supply?!
Have you even tried the Settings which are mentioned in the Article?!
If you don’t experience a strong and very fine detailed FFB, then you most probably have been running and got used to way to high FFB Signal which was clipping all over the place.
The Mentioned Settings are very strong and highly detailed and should definitely not feel weak.
I‘m very surprised about your Statement.
@fmq75 what were your Settings you were running before the Update?

Be sure to also duplicate your current settings so you can go back to how you liked it before the update. Assuming of course they fix the issue and bring the FFB back to how it was before.This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

I agree with Jordan and PirovacBoy. The FFB, while not as strong, is better. You feel more of what is going on. For one, you now feel the rumble strips at high and mid speed corners. You didn't pre 1.15 IMO opinion. The wheel also no longer oscillates on high-speed turns when trying to push the steering. I'm using the below settings. These were posted on the Fanatec Recommended Settings Forum by a member that has done a lot of trial and error. I happen to think they're quite good! I will be trying PirovacBoy's settings, later tonight. Very curious how they compare and differ.

Most of the time on the recommended Fanatec settings from their forum GT page, but I've try Mourice's and few other guys from that topic (before and after this update. I also tried few settings from guys that make GT streams, but I found myself in fanatecs recommended settings from page 1 https://forum.fanatec.com/discussion/25219/gran-turismo-7-ps4-ps5-fanatec-recommended-settings/p1
My in-game settings was 5/1 or 6/1 (I have 8Nm version of DD Pro and F1 Esports wheel)
I can accept that this settings is not perfect but I like them. Before updaye I can use some other settings, but this one I like the most. But that is not the point. Point is, no metter which settings I use, I don't have enough resistance in wheel and no metter which settings I use now and put FOR to 120 and in-game torque to 10 there is still no resistance in my wheel like it was before.
And PD admit that they reduced it and until they fix that, there is no settings you can put in your wheel and in-game to get close to feeling that we have before

Those ‘fixed’ settings definitely don’t fix it. They are a workaround at best. I am using them but The weight feels very springy and boaty as running everything at maximum is clearly just a bodge for now. Only PD can really fix it.

After using these settings and in game torque to 10 its plenty heavy enough again and I'm feeling curbs. Agree that there's more tyre feel too now as well. The change is growing on me rapidly. Enjoyed that session, thanks.🍻

Well, if nothing else this article has showed me how to change the wheel settings on the wheels itself lol, better than keep plugging in my laptop! I looked on the Fanatec website and took those mentioned. PD this really is a little step too far nerfing our peripheral
