I ordered this bundle with the Mclaren GT2 wheel. Definitely worth it. Heads up tho the load cell kit isn’t arriving till May 2nd. So if you order the bundle keep that in mind
For anyone having issues with the CSL DD (and I assume CSL DD PRO) * Not being able to calibrate the H-pattern mode of the SQ 1.5 shifter: (1) Try with the short cable provided with the shifter. (2) If unsuccessful, unmount the wheel base, hold it tightly between your legs and try with short cable. ** Wheelbase or steering wheel disconnects in driver page or FFB/buttons/pedals quit working in-game: - on pc - (1) Connect the wheelbase with a wheel mounted and turn it on. (2) Open the driver page. (3) If everything seems connected, tighten the black C-clamp on the wheelbase shaft a bit (or to 15Nm torque) and see if the issue persists (4) If the issue persists or something shows to be disconnected: Loosen the black C -clamp on the wheelbase shaft till you can rotate it slightly without too much effort. (5) Rotate the clamp gently till the driver page shows everything connected (6) Tighten the black C-clamp on the wheelbase shaft a bit (or to 15Nm torque) and see if the issue persists I've had both issues, where the disconnection issues got worse and worse till the both of my wheels showed disconnected permanently. And after a month of trying drivers/firmware/usb-ports etc. these solutions solved my issues. *** On my initial fresh install of my CSL DD with Boost kit, the FFB was very weak. This was resolved quickly for me by uninstalling and re-installing the drivers again.
Great review! Been looking to upgrade from my g29 to this! Just started sim racing this past spring! I play f1 and GT so having the f1 wheel is a must for me but you mentioned it not locking in place. What’s the special lock you need or is that hub on it just sit weird on the dd pro? Are there other hubs for the f1 wheel that don’t require a locking mechanisms to hold it in place? Thanks in advance!
What do you think fellow SimRacers? I'm thinking on the big switch from Thrustmaster to FANATEC because the DD technology, but the switch is pricey as hell... 🤔 Let me explain my dilemma: Now I have the Thrustmaster T-300RS with the T-LCM load cell pedals on my rig, with 3 different Thrustmaster rims. I play on PC with one OLED TV, and Gran Turismo on PlayStation 4 Pro. (This shows my budget for simracing at the moment...) So if I want to switch, I need to pay minimum 850 euro for the DD (5nm) and the FANATEC load cell pedals upgrade (load cell is a must have!) Meanwhile the Thrustmaster T-GT II Servo base (on its own) is half of that price = 450 euro. And honestly I really need just a better wheelbase... T-GT II base is not direct drive of course, but it's 6,5 newtonmeters of torque (measured by Ron). The FANATEC DD Pro is weaker (5nm) but it's direct drive. And of course I can buy the 8nm power supply but that's another +150 euro, so the switch from Thrustmaster to FANATEC in my case is about 1000 euro. What do you think fellow SimRacers? Is it worth to invest twice as much for the direct drive???
personally I think though t-gt's torque might be on par, being belt-driven they are not comparable, and build quality is lacking compared w/ fanatec. I swapped from T300RS to dd and the smoothness is not on the same level. If it was me I would def swap if I can and possibly sell the previous rig.
I have the same exact setup as you. T300 ferrari alcantara with lcm loadcell. Its a nice setup though not as great as the new DD. But damn it looks ugly like a toy wheel and the pedals are week in my opinion only 60 kilos of pressure. I would rather go for the wheelbase of the t-gt 2 and stay in the same system or just be happy with your setup. The grass is always greener on the other side right. Where do you buy the wheelbase of the t-gt 2?
@@MrBasjunk Thank you for your response. I'm living in Europe, Hungary 🇭🇺 in our country the Thrustmaster T-GT II base now available at several online shops.
hi i have the same dilemma my friend i have the TGT with sparco R33 rally wheel and sparco handbrake and would as yrself have to justify me switching to fanatec ?? i mean how much better is the TGT 2 compared to the first TGT wheel again is it that much better to warrant buying the TGT 2 ?? will thrustmaster bring out a DD wheel for the PS5 ?? i wish they would because i would then def stay with thrustmaster !!
Really great review! As someone that tried a number of different wheels and wheel bases I'd like to ask you if it's worth upgrading from T-GT II to this wheel ( DD Pro)? But this question comes with a little different angle. I've just completed my whole Thrustmaster ecosystem with the best gear this company has to offer with aforementioned T-GT II wheel base, TSS Handbrake, TH8A shifter, T-LCM pedals and.....two days later Fanatec had announced their Playstation compatible entry level DD wheel in form of the DD Pro. Now I'm happy with my setup performance both in Dirt Rally 2.0 (with Sparco 383 rim) and Gran Turismo (with TM Open wheel add-on) but since all this gear I can still sell for a good price I wonder if the difference in performance between these two bases is worth spending extra money especially when I'm still the beginner-level sim racer? Or maybe will be worth waiting for Thrustmaster DD wheel base or just wait some time to get better at this sim-racing thing and then when I will really need to get serious switch to Fanatec? What are your thoughts? Anyway If I decide to this change right now I will certainly buy DD Pro wheel base with 8Nm power supply, newest CSL pedals with LC brake and two rims WRC and Mclaren GT3 and of course shifter (I already own Fanatec handbrake). Thanks in advance for your reply.
From the tgt II to the csl dd is a very small upgrade. Only move if you also want to jump ecosystems. In your shoes I wouldnt, especially since its such a new wheel.
there is input lag between your movement of the wheel and the movement of the wheel in the game . i don't understand how you guys don't even notice it's crazy to me
hi great review i have the original TGT wheel with thrustmasters load cell pedals and was a huge upgrade in terms of realism compared to my old logitech g29 . i also have the thrustmaster sparco handbrake and sparco r33 rally wheel total cost to me £1,324.00 when playing rally games i dont have much force feedback resistance as in real life the wheel has to be quite light so you can make fast wheel inputs. So my question is am i going to feel a huge difference using this Fanatec DD wheel compared to my TGT ?? Although i have my force feedback quite light i still feel the different road surfaces like going from gravel to tarmac to snow and ice etc etc considering the amount it has cost me to have the set up i have is the difference going to be worth all the extra money ?? to be honest if thrustmaster produced a DD wheel for the ps5 i would certainly stick with thrustmaster untill say the tgt packed up ?? thankyou for any helpfull comments in advance !!
i don't notice any flex at all, i dont have the gt wheel either i have the orange bmw wheel which is really solid for the cost. ill do 300+ laps a day in iracing street stock and the dd pro performs like a champ. if you have the gt wheel its bulky and looks like it would have alittle flex to it. i would upgrade to a momo style wheel, one with the all metal center brace its why i chose my wheel. i hate the color tho and it getting painted black lol also what mount are you using? the black plastic one or the all metal one. if your using a cockpit than that doesn't matter but the black plastic one isn't good i didn't like it, it made the wheel have a weird feeling to it like it didn't clamp tight enough.
Hi! Thanks for your review first of all. On 3:54 you put the DD base on the hard surface and on 2 guides, where did you find them??? Thanks in advance!
Aweaome video. Im currently in the market for this wheel but also planing on switching my monitor. I have a custom built pc with a 2080ti and also have a ps5. My monitor is a alienware 34 ultra wide thats 2k and has 120 refresh rate. Now im looking to utilize both pc and ps5 but ps5 doesn't support 21:9 so am looking for the best 32 inch money can buy that will work great for ps5 but also for PC. What monitor do you have ? Any you can recommend?:)
Can someone explain the difference between each level of wheel base? Is it just the higher more pricey one has stronger forcefeedback? I’m new to sim racing. Have simple set up and want more. Right now I like low forcefeedback. Especially as I play rally games. I don’t want to buy most expensive wheelbase if it’s just stronger feedback but I also don’t want to buy cheaper 1 in case I’m missing anything. For instance there’s a 5nm and 8 nm version. What does this mean?
Has anyone used the club sport shifter SQ1.5 with this. I have one but I’m having problems with it jumping into neutral when using H pattern and clutch. I also have trouble calibrating the H pattern. It’s brand new and I’m struggling to get a refund on the shifter. I only have GT Sport to try it on. Want to know if anyone else is having issue
Oh the "Dpads" are full fledged control sticks or at least Hats like on a Flight stick becuase they tilt and rotate. Which is an incredble selling point! I never sseen anything like it! Even of Flight sticks they max out at like 3! And more controller only have 2!
I have used csl elite with 2 pedals for 2y and them sold them. Now i am returning and ordered dd pro 5nm with the LC. I had to choose boost pack or load cell and as we all know usually LC is big game changer. Now I getting the feeling that the general driving experience with the 5nm dd will be worst than csl elite ....it seems like in this case the booster kit might be more important than the LC....Planing to use it mainly for GT7. Interested to hear someone who use the 5nm version...it seems its just giving slight hints whats happening not alot of useful info...
Wonderful video. In the CZcams comment section of their official announcement video, Fanatec staff specifically replied to a comment saying thay the wheel will not be sold separately in the future, which is different to what you said in this video.. did you specifically get information saying that it would be sold separately? 🤔 Many thanks
Polyphony Digital always sold their GranTurismo licensed wheels as a bundle with base. (Thrustmaster) The Gran Turismo wheels Never available separate. (except secondhand market - eBay, etc.)
Hello! I am currently using the Thrustmaster T150 with the shifter seen in your video. Is it compatible with the DD Pro? That would be huge since I really want to upgrade to a dd-wheel and love the shifter.
Why did assetto corsa not give you ffb? Its always worked for me. Lol its the best exeperience on console. Gt7 on the other hand is so weak in comparison. So weird how expereinces differ so much.
It may seem weak, but you're comparing it to a belt driven wheel base. If both the belt driven wheel base and CSL DD/ Pro were exactly the same Nm rating, the belt driven wheel setup would still lose that battle because the direct drive wheelbase will not suffer from the same dampening effects inherent in belt based systems. You would end up feeling the details the belts essentially muffle or make weaker in this regard, no matter how big or small of a benefit making that jump may be. However I would recommend as a CSL DD owner myself, that the boost kit be the option to purchase because it gives more headroom and more freedom to modify effects if needed, compared to the 5 Nm variation. The 8Nm power pack also brings out more midrange details that the 5Nm power pack won't be able to produce adequately(like when kerbs are run over)
Does this work for Xbox? Or do you just need to change the wheel to an Xbox wheel on that base? I was always wondering because I have both Xbox and ps5
According to Fanatec’s website description they place xbox security chips in wheels and PS compatibility stuff in wheelbases so you will need an Xbox compatible wheel to go with the base
Obrigado pela review está excelente e tirou me algumas dúvidas que tinha. Se conseguir amanha irei comprar o pacote base. Devias colocar no teu canal Português as reviews da fanatec ;)
yeah I don't get that either, do console players like this weird aesthetic or something?! it's not that hard we just need a circle wrapped in leather or alcantra or something, none of this shiny fake metal crap or bigass horn assembly thing in the middle.
Yea that’s on polyphony for sure. While I don’t despise this wheel, it’s not great. My G29 looks nicer and it’s at a much lower price point. As a PS5 gamer, this setup (at its highest spec with the upgraded power and load cell pedals) are very intriguing and probably in my future down the road, and I’m sure the wheel is going to be really really well optimized with GT7 which is likely to be the bulk of my gameplay once it’s released. Fanatec obviously has some much nicer wheels available, and it’s nice that this works with the entire ecosystem, but you have to understand how happy PlayStation gamers are just to have a nice plug and play DD setup available to them.
Hey random, do you think the Wheel Stand Pro (with RGS) can handle the CSL DD with the boost kit? I'm thinking about upgrading from the T300 next year.
I also considered the wheel stand pro but went another route. If you don't have the wheel stand yet, I'd say save up for something built with extruded aluminum. I purchased an Advanced Sim Racing ASR1 extruded aluminum cockpit(rated by them for up to 5nM, but of course they underrated it to make buyers buy the ASR3) with my 8Nm CSL DD side mounted to it and even at full power I notice next to no flex from the 4040 extruded aluminum rig, possibly because I side mounted the wheel base and added the supported shifter arm as well which helped with rigidity. If I were to purchase a rig again, though, I would have gone with the basic one from Rig Metal since it looks stronger due to thicker aluminum pieces for nearly the same price in the USA
Boas Ricardo, gostava de te pedir uma opinião. Tenho um T500rs a dar as ultimas, achas que com o DD Pro já vou sentir melhorias em relação ao T500rs, ou achas que para sentir o verdadeiro Direct Drive preciso de ir para o DD1?

I will get one but so much money wish it was four that’s the perfect spot it’s more than the console doesn’t make any sense
Sad they added that silver plastic on it, not only does it make it look cheap but it also make it look old like early 2000 design.
can anyone tell me what company makes the manual shifter at 3:32?
A 7min c’est quel jeu ? Il est magnifique 😱
Why did assetto corsa not give you ffb? Its always worked for me. Lol its the best exeperience on console. Gt7 on the other hand is so weak in comparison. So weird how expereinces differ so much.
Is the excessive flex ok ?
I wonder if this would be an upgrade from my csl elite, I have zero flex on it. Also at 5nm the ffb seems rather week
It may seem weak, but you're comparing it to a belt driven wheel base. If both the belt driven wheel base and CSL DD/ Pro were exactly the same Nm rating, the belt driven wheel setup would still lose that battle because the direct drive wheelbase will not suffer from the same dampening effects inherent in belt based systems. You would end up feeling the details the belts essentially muffle or make weaker in this regard, no matter how big or small of a benefit making that jump may be. However I would recommend as a CSL DD owner myself, that the boost kit be the option to purchase because it gives more headroom and more freedom to modify effects if needed, compared to the 5 Nm variation. The 8Nm power pack also brings out more midrange details that the 5Nm power pack won't be able to produce adequately(like when kerbs are run over)
Does this work for Xbox? Or do you just need to change the wheel to an Xbox wheel on that base? I was always wondering because I have both Xbox and ps5
According to Fanatec’s website description they place xbox security chips in wheels and PS compatibility stuff in wheelbases so you will need an Xbox compatible wheel to go with the base
Why $300 more ONLY for ps5 support? Thats crazy.
Are you still using the nox3d rubber mod in your th8a? Still using mine, holding up well.
Yep
Fanatec Steering wheel for Xbox One Series S/X?. 🤔
Obrigado pela review está excelente e tirou me algumas dúvidas que tinha. Se conseguir amanha irei comprar o pacote base.
Devias colocar no teu canal Português as reviews da fanatec ;)
Não percebi quase nada mas pelas imagens e pelo que disses te deve ser top.
Achas este melhor que o TGT II
@@Fernandes_gamer claro que é melhor que o TGT-II, esse é belt drive e o GT DD PRO é direct drive, só por aí já é melhor.. :)
would this rim work on a DD! thes ame way on GT& on ps5?
It works correctly on pc. On the dd1 ps version it only has the basic functions.
@@randomcallsign what would be missing if used on aa DD1 on PS?
The wheel actually looks cheap, I’m waiting untill I can get it all separately because I’d like the McLaren wheel
Same here
7:01, what type of socks are these?
Would this work on Dirt rally 2.0 and f1 2021?
Sadly no, it only works on gran turismo and Fifa 19
The rim looks like a cheap toy (we can blame Sony/Polyphony for that). I'm very interested in the wheelbase and pedals however.
yeah I don't get that either, do console players like this weird aesthetic or something?! it's not that hard we just need a circle wrapped in leather or alcantra or something, none of this shiny fake metal crap or bigass horn assembly thing in the middle.
Yea that’s on polyphony for sure. While I don’t despise this wheel, it’s not great. My G29 looks nicer and it’s at a much lower price point. As a PS5 gamer, this setup (at its highest spec with the upgraded power and load cell pedals) are very intriguing and probably in my future down the road, and I’m sure the wheel is going to be really really well optimized with GT7 which is likely to be the bulk of my gameplay once it’s released. Fanatec obviously has some much nicer wheels available, and it’s nice that this works with the entire ecosystem, but you have to understand how happy PlayStation gamers are just to have a nice plug and play DD setup available to them.
its to make it more affordable that's the whole point of this product
Hey random, do you think the Wheel Stand Pro (with RGS) can handle the CSL DD with the boost kit? I'm thinking about upgrading from the T300 next year.
If not you can always turn the ffb down until you get something better to use it with.
I also considered the wheel stand pro but went another route. If you don't have the wheel stand yet, I'd say save up for something built with extruded aluminum. I purchased an Advanced Sim Racing ASR1 extruded aluminum cockpit(rated by them for up to 5nM, but of course they underrated it to make buyers buy the ASR3) with my 8Nm CSL DD side mounted to it and even at full power I notice next to no flex from the 4040 extruded aluminum rig, possibly because I side mounted the wheel base and added the supported shifter arm as well which helped with rigidity. If I were to purchase a rig again, though, I would have gone with the basic one from Rig Metal since it looks stronger due to thicker aluminum pieces for nearly the same price in the USA
@@Khans0120 I have it for almost a year :)
I don't have the space for a proper rig. :)
The wheel really should have been leather or alcantara...rubber at this price isn't going to cut it...
has anyone had a problem with the throttle not working?!?!?!
Boas Ricardo, gostava de te pedir uma opinião.
Tenho um T500rs a dar as ultimas, achas que com o DD Pro já vou sentir melhorias em relação ao T500rs, ou achas que para sentir o verdadeiro Direct Drive preciso de ir para o DD1?
Dd pro é mais que suficiente
@@randomcallsign Obrigado! ;)
Can you assign d pads for other games on ps5 like assetto corsa or project cars 2?
Not on ps5, no.
@@momorious that is disapointing...
@@niedzial1983 should not be a surprise when it's a limitation by the game and the games are end of life so they no longer get updates.
For consoles, game developers have to implement this specific wheel into the game to have it fully supported.
Will this gt dd pro be any good for F1 2021?
Ofc
Me before the review; why the hell would someone spend this much money on a race wheel?
Me after the review; alright where do I buy this thing
can i use this for GT SPORT?
yes
T-GT II 😇
So the csl dd pro is the same as the normal dd but the pro is for ps?
yes
@@randomcallsign ok thx
To all comments below, if u are buying wheel because of the looks, you're gonna have bad time.
csl dd is best thing happened for sim scene
My impression is that many sim racers are very concerned about how all of their kit looks.
Well they should be more concerned what they feel (or maybe never felt before) thru the wheel
You are going to be looking at that for hours and maybe years, so it better be enjoyable to look at.
@@Salutifer0us you can always buy F1 wheel and swap it
@@Skafiskafnjak51 That would be even more ugly
good videos random
How it works on F1 games?
5:25 What mode did you test ACC for console?
Ps4 ps5
Position based pedale or load cell?
how does ffb perform with with heavier 320mm D shape wheel?
Same as the csl dd
@@randomcallsign sorry I meant the base itself?
Logitech GT pro seems like a more bang for the buck then
What game is shown at 7:35 in the video? And is it PS or PC?
Assetto Corsa PC. no, this track doesnt exist in the consoles nor can it be instaleld.
@@randomcallsign Cheers! Thanks for the reply!
Does the 8nm work ok on a desk?
Yes. I'll be doing a video soon about that
