My FIRST Sim Racing Setup!! - Fanatec GT DD Pro
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 06. 2024
- The Fanatec GT DD Pro made me feel like I was driving a real car for the first time in a Racing wheel. After years of using a logitech G29 this is a monumental step up in force feedback fidelity.

Your sheer joy playing with this setup has me SO excited to get mine delivered and set up. I went with the Trak Racer TR8 Pro rig with single integrated monitor stand.
How did you like it? Just ordered mine yesterday.
Enjoying sim racing even more than you did before, because of an "upgrade", is what it's all about. Sometimes it's a new rim, sometimes a new cockpit, sometimes it's something simple, like a rev light. Regardless, thanks for creating this and helping push the love of sim racing!
Well said! It truly is a fun experience and something I definitely see myself sinking in some serious hours into :D
Mine was tactile transducers!
Love this. I have been racing about a year now and agree with you on many things. Your reaction matched mine when feeling a direct drive for the first time! I now race on a DD2 and love it so much.
It truly is a spectacular feeling :)
Enjoy your DD2 that thing looks beyond impressive! Peak power at high force feedback probably breaks your wrist ahahah
Its a hell of a upgrade, i came from a t300 to the CSL DD and i love it. Now its time you try some proper driving sims with it though lol. Try some ACC or something you will be even more impressed with how the wheel performs.
I may or may not have been trying some ACC behind the scenes :D It truly is incredible the amount of detail you get when using a direct drive wheel. Will show some of it on the next video for sure!
Your upgrade was the same as mine ! I loved my t300 too
TS-PC to CSL DD 8nm for me, so not that big of a upgrade but oh man the difference!
@@haraldjohansen1867 I was literally 1 step away from buying the tspc instead of the Fanatic GT DD pro(which I'm still waiting on). I also am coming from a Logitech G29.
Did I make the right decision?
Is the Fanatic GT DD Pro better than the TSPC? Does it feel better? Like stronger? Or more immersive?
@@nicklibby3784 Yes to everything! It's only 2nm more but feels a lot better than the ts-pc. More powerful and much smoother. Also dead quiet. The ts-pc has a noisy fan.
I'm so happy that PS users get to experience the CSL DD as well. It's an amazing piece of kit for the money you're giving.
Csl dot work on Ps.
You present well by the way. I see a very genuine person enjoying a great hobby.
I appreciate the positivity :)
This is probably the best review about this wheel that i've seen in CZcams👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’ve been waiting for like 2-3 years for a new but budget friendly base and it’s finally here
I just bought one this morning and I’m extremely excited for it to come
wauw surch high production quality. And great video, deffently got me to sub.
Much appreciated! :)
Que setup de sonho! 🔥 great video btw, glad I found you channel! 💪💪
Obrigado :D
Ainda bem que encontras-te sim senhor!
Top quality videos mate, subbed!
Thanks 😊
Just ordered and I’m here watching videos. I’m coming from a G29 and I am so pumped. I ordered the load cell pedal kit also. Can’t wait till Forza comes out
Exciting times :)
Man you are underrated i enjoyed this vid more them i thought i would!
Glad you enjoyed :D
Really nice to see you're enjoying the setup. I started with a Microsoft wheel for the XBox 360 about 15 years ago, had the first Posche 911 Turbo S wheel from Fanatec (was such a HUGE event when this came out :O) and went through nearly all Fanatec wheels and now ended with a Simucube, high end motion simulator etc. BUT for my PS5 i still play with a cheap Logitech G923 (which is VERY low budget comparing with the other stuff) and it's so much fun. As you said the equipment doesn't make you like racing games.
PS: we are so f*cking spoiled today with all the simracing hype and so many quality wheels on the market.
100% :)
Glad you are enjoying your time with sim racing
At the end of the day it's all about the games and the friends you enjoy them with, gear doesn't make up for that even though it makes the experience that much more fun
I just upgraded to this exact same set up and im loving it i came from the g920 and theee is such a huge difference from pedals to steering i am absolutely glad i upgraded
Enjoy! :)
Great video Carlos.
I’ve got my DD pro arriving next week to replace my G29 ! Can’t wait man !
Enjoy it! Exciting times :D
@@carlosribeiroo certainly is mate !
unboxing experience feels so nice
Nice set up bro, definitely my future upgrade wheel the fanatec DDpro and that maclaren steering. I’m currently using the thrustmaster tgt with the SF1000 on a trakracer RS6 rig.
It truly is a game changer, so when you have the money and if you aren't compromising on anything else essential in your life take the leap :) You will not be left disappointed
Yess!, I totally agree with you, I don’t think it change a lot the experience if you don’t like that much that type of racing game but if you can afford it, go for it!
Exactly! It's a lot of fun and has been a breath of fresh air for me and pushed me straight back into driving whenever I can :D
I also upgraded from a G29 to the DD Pro, and I have the same NLR GT-Lite cockpit. I agree with you 100% The difference is astronomical!!!!! You can really detect oversteer much sooner and correct, something that you couldn’t do with the G29. The FFB detail is amazing!
Like you, I also thought the GT-Lite cockpit wouldn’t be sturdy enough for this wheel, but the flexing is not as bad as I imagined. I am still planning to get a more rigid cockpit in the future, but it is good enough for now. Thanks for the video! Liked and Subscribed!👍
Nice to see someone on the same boat! Enjoy your setup and glad you enjoyed the video :D
Just got GT DD Pro this week and it feels amazing. I've been using Logitech products the past 16 years and i kinda felt like i wanted to upgrade to a better rig. I have it currently mounted to a table with table clamp, but it still feels really solid - although my Ikea table doesn't really like the idea. I've haven't been driving a lot lately, but i still managed to beat few of my old personal laptime records after 5 hours of practising with this wheel. It's so much easier to drive when you can feel all the little bumps and forces thanks to the good FFB Direct drive gives. With Logitech wheels i kinda had to guess what the car was doing and it made my driving really inconsistent.
I honestly don't have anything bad to say about the GT DD Pro - it's worth of buying.
Edit: Great video, i enjoyed it. Hope you have a great week! :)
I’m so excited! I used Logitech too, I bought my CSL DD by pre-order but without the equipment like steering wheel, pedals etc. Because I’m still a student i need time to build up my setup and saving up the money 😂
Hey! Thanks for the comment and enjoy your wheel! It truly is a fantastic upgrade :D
You will get there soon!
It will be a great experience when ever you get everything setup :)
am coming from the g29 and buying all these separately but u just hyped my expectations wooohoooo great vid
Happy to bring some extra excitement for you men :) Enjoy your new gear!
This was the first vid I saw from you but now I love you and watch all your vids
:) Thank you Sab! I really appreciate it!
excellent unboxing segment
Thank you 😃
Bought the exact same setup last night (including mclaren wheel). Can’t wait to get mine!
Exciting times ahead :)
Glad you're enjoying your new "toys".
The biggest difference by far comes from a decent loadcell pedal set and all the stuff being bolted to a cockpit, though. They make you a lot more constant, which in turn makes you much more confident in the car you're driving and that confidence makes you faster. Not by a lot if you're a competent driver already but it helps tremendously on sectors or circuits that you're a bit more hesitant to push it to the limit.
Edit: Saudações do Brasil, gajo!.
You are super on point! Just having everything bolted down was a huge upgrade in itself and my consistency has never been this, well, consistent ahah
Still lack a lot of practice but I'm enjoying every second of play time with this and it will not be that long until I'm back to full form and probably even better then before :)
Grande abraço e obrigado pelo comentario!
@@carlosribeiroo Nice setup I have a G29 I feel so left out now everyone has o e of these.
@@carlosribeiroo What NM is your steering set up ? the G29 has screws to bolt down both the pedals and the steering hardware firmly.
Hey! Don't feel left out! Enjoy what you have! At the end of the day it's not going to fundamentally change what racing is and you can be just as fast on a G29!
I never bolted down my G29 because I used it on the table and not on a cockpit, which I think most people with a G29 do, so the upgrade was from a table and nothing bolted down to the GT lite with everything bolted
@@drivingsimhobby22drivingsi52 What Carlos said: just have fun.
Well, i felt the exact same. The difference is so high - that i shed a tear ;)
The smile says it all !
Dude you sold me on this. I was about to get a G923 for Xbox but not now. Shut up and take my money!!!!! Thanks for the vid. Subscribed!!
Super happy that I could help 😊
Love this! I litterally came from the G29 to this setup as well. I also ordered the Meta Quest 2!
Hope you enjoy it!
I did a lot of research before buying my DD GT3V2 and CSL Pedals, got it installed updated and setup for racing. There isn't that much difference between my G27 with it's multiple mods vs the Fanatec DD, and even less in the Pedal department. While I spent quite a few hours tinkering, tightening the responsiveness, reducing the slop, and generally reconfiguring the G27 many years ago, I was expecting huge differences in the feeling of the DD. I can say this hand on heart that you have been the only person on YT that has actually said 'That it will not fundamentally change the way you race, if you already own a wheel.' It does feel great and if the kit lasts for the next 5 years it will have paid for itself, but I wish I'd waited to upgrade once my older kit was broken instead of just upgrading for the sake of it. If you own a wheel already see if you can find someone with a Fanatec setup and try it out, as it might save you quite a lot of money.
For me its completely the opposite. Coming from a t300 and upgrading to a Clubsport DD from Fanatec the difference was night and day. So much so that when i went and drove the t300 again wich i sold to a friend it simply felt like a toy and not something to „simulate“ anything with at all. Even then a t300 outperforms a g27/29 any day. A g27/29 is not something i recommend at all or something i enjoyed even a little bit and i dont understand the hype around it at all. What is true however is that a DD doesnt make you faster but it certainly helps with consistency.
Nice vid!
I hope i can buy my first wheel this year
Thanks :)
It's even a bigger jump from the Momo. Good luck!
True that! Huge jump in fidelity and overall enjoyment that's for sure
I just picked mine up and got it in 5 days asides from there history of bad logistics. I couldn't be happier!
very cool I'm happy for you I'm also super satisfied with my setup 💪
:D Thanks for the comment men! Enjoy your setup as well! For me this was years in the making and I could not be more satisfied with everything. Now I just was to try all games to really see what this wheel has to offer. Been playing some ACC and the force feedback there is insanely detailed
@@carlosribeiroo very nice. Yes, I have the fanatec dd1, very powerful device, mega force feedback, I'm on the go with triple screen, I've recreated my gt3 cockpit 😅 you're welcome to watch a video of me, I'd be happy 💪 subscription is out
The real benefits with that set-up come with time, for me it was 2 months after I realised how much more details and information I get from the wheel compared to 29 - so much more. But these are subtle, and one must spend hours to fully comprehend it. I also recommend using good flat rubber shoes and cleaning them before each race to have a good grip on the pedals. A metal link connecting the chair and pedal platform is needed when using all braking power with a loadcell
Absolutely! True joy as a first impression but only time and practice will yield lap to lap improvements :)
@@carlosribeiroo dont get me wrong, my times didnt improve but the joy absolutly. I think I dont have talent but still love it so much
That's all that matters! Enjoy :)
i change thrustmaster t300 for this one but athe clubsport hub 2 with alcantara rim and clubsports v3 pedals.... imswimming in another planet ..congratulations
Congrats! It truly is a fantastic experience and your V3 pedals are probably fantastic! Enjoy!
The smile on your face says it all! Direct Drive wheels are just a different game, enjoy 🙂
So true ahahah
Feeling that rear wheel slip was eye opening to say the least, and since that happened on a curb there is no way in hell I would have felt that on the G29 with all the gears rattling in there :D
I just installed my CSL DD coming from a Logitech G25
Racing is all about proper braking Can't wait to try my new loadcell brake!! If it's anything like my 89 Porsche 944TS track car I'll be a happy camper 😅 good review, thanks 😊
Exciting times ahead :) enjoy the upgrade and all the fun that will come with it!
this is awesome! some tips for a better driving experience are choosing the right sims and the right cockpit, f1 2020 is far from the ideal game to maximize your experience on a wheel, rfactor2, acc, raceroom and even iracing will be much better, second is that that next level racing cockpit might be a bit too weak for the full 8nm csl DD, itl absorb the finer details and whilst passable of an experience, youre not maximizing the capability of the wheel. I think you can get a much sturdier rig from GT omega for around the same price, none the less, awesome video!
Thanks for the comment Jerry :)
I do agree with everything but I think for now I will have to stick with the GT Lite since even though you can find cockpits like the GT omega that you suggested for around the same money, if you buy it will a seat it around 350 which is more then double what I paid for the GT Lite (155)
I would also have to factor in the space since even though I don't fully fold it in just tucking in the pedals and the seat makes it easy to set aside in the corner of my office, and right now I simply don't have the space to dedicated just to Sim Racing
I just bought the VRC Formula Alpha for AC and compared to F12020 it really is night and day, even on my T300RS
I have seen some videos on youtube and it looks incredible. Might have to check it out in the future :)
A Wheelstand Pro V2 is sturdier than this 💟
@@carlosribeiroo Hey Carlos honestly ive looked and looked for a cheep cockpit that was a 80 40 cockpit and they cheapest your going to find is gt omega and i stand by them for what you get for that price with the seat is very good i do recommend you taking a longer look at them
Now I know what to buy for my next birthday.
Nice One.....You just need a Solid Rig now, to hold it all properly so you can appreciate and feel the feedback as you should !!
Good on you.....Enjoy !!
Underrated
Underrated comment :)
Nice video. I have mine for a few months and totally agree. If you think the G29 is a toy after trying the CSL DD once, wait until you have tried it for a few days, then try to go back on the G29. You will be wondering how was I even using this thing lol
Hey! Thanks :D
Well since I moved to the UK I had to leave my G29 behind so I will not have that "going back to the G29" experience but I am 1000% sure you are right ahha
Like most things in life, upgrading can be extremely worth it but it's only when you go back that you truly appreciate the full extent of the upgrade.
I have the force feedback turned all the way up on my g920 and it feels like nothing i need to get myself a real set up
Have the same setup but ended up getting the 3drap mod for the load cell to get a little more travel. I think it's since i drive with socks and not shoes and this has helped me trail brake better. I guess it's a personal preference. Love the wheel. It's amazing with ACC.
I have heard about that brake pedal mod and may or may not have a tab open with it that I should probably go close before I'm tempted to spend more money. I also drive with socks and also think that a little more travel could be beneficial, but I think I'll stick with the stock ones for 6 months to really get dialed in and then I'll rethink this decision if I have to.
ACC truly feels incredible I have been doing some racing there as well over the past couple of days and it put's F1 to shame in the force feedback department
I have the 3D rap mod. What a difference. Proper trail braking is much ch easier making you faster.
I’m new to sim racing man I can’t wait to get my first wheel and pedal set 🥹
sick
bro you are so underrated
Appreciate that :)
Coming from t150 going to a gt dd pro looking forward to it getting delivered
Hey man! Great video! Nice driving! I just ordered the exact same setup(minus the load cell. I might get that later.). Coming from a G29, so I'm super excited! Are you playing on a PC or on a PS5/4? If you're playing on a PS5, did you have to hook the wheel up to a pc for any updates before you could use it on the PS5? Thanks!
Hey! Super happy for you men! Hope you already received everything and are enjoying it!
In regards to your question, I plan on playing on the PS5 but for now everything that I have played is on PC.
I remember that the firmware that came installed on the wheel and wheel base was very close to the latest available so I imagine that you can plug it straight in to the PS5 no problem.
Probably good to update it every now and then in the future
Hey buddy, super cool setup! Solid all round - just please pleeeaaassse if you can, change to a proper frame :) you can see the rig you're in deforming. It will change your experience! If you can save up for something like a Sim-labs Gt-1 evo, you definitely won't be disappointed!! Otherwise, great setup, and enjoy it!!
Hey! Thanks for all the positivity, it really has been a fantastic experience and a much needed improvement compared to my previous setup. I have another video on this setup coming out tomorrow where I touch on this exact thing. Unfortunately it's a game of compromises where you either have to spend more money, use more space or live with some flex, so even though I agree with you, for now I think this is the setup I will stick with for better or for worse. It also is substantially better now in comparison to this video after I did some slight modifications to it, but it will never be rock solid
Lifestyyyyles of the rich and the famooous
Great video Carlos, great choice on all the gear!
A couple of things tho, first one is that I recommend you upgrading the Quick Release on the mclaren rim these are known to break overtime (huge oversight from Fanatic) and lastly like you've said you might want to consider upgrading your cockpit, while the Next level is great for the convenience of being able to fold it and put it away, you are losing a ton of detail from the DD motor with all that play that would help further improve your race craft.
I think the quick release isn’t a problem really, I’ve had mine for a while and it’s ok, I actually prefer it to the metal one sometimes as the metal one can be noisy in certain situations, I think only if you’ll only have problems when getting a defective one and in that case, fanatec will have to send a new one.
Hey! Thanks for the comment :)
I have already found certain limitations with the quick release mainly a very slight play when the force feedback kicks in on high speed corners. Nothing major and for now I don't intend on spending more money on the setup, but something to keep in mind particularly when fanatec releases an updated metal quick release.
Regarding the cockpit, even though I completely agree with you unfortunately I don't have too much space so the setup will have to be something similar to this in size and weight (and also price) so with all that I still can't justify something that would be an big upgrade but who knows in the future!
Interesting that the metal one makes some noises, didn't know that! I will stick with this plastic one at least until fanatec launches an updated version of their metal one (and until my wallet recuperates from all this ahahha)
@@carlosribeiroo Yeah, it’s a common problem with the plastic quick release, when turning left to right there’s like a notchy feeling right? I actually found a solution and mine is perfect now, it actually made a huge difference although the notchy thing doesn’t always happen, just put a bit of really thin card or a bit thicker paper in the indetation in the shaft and it will go away! I’ll try to find a link where they show some pictures!
@@carlosribeiroo Same here ahah I just have the metal one because it was included with the bmw steering wheel I ordered, it’s actually annoying when it makes noises, when the ffb “rumbles” with bumps and stuff like that the metal quick release rattles, the safety screw helps with this but not 100%.
I watch this video every after 3 days
I currently have g29 as well, probably getting this in the future.
Still the default for thousands getting into sim racing!
I feel the same way about my gt dd pro amazing system
Indeed! :D
That's the exact same wheel, DD base, and pedal setup I have my eye on from Fanatec. I currently use a GT Omega wheel stand but I have a cheap $100 PXN wheel and pedal setup. I was going to upgrade to the Logitech G29 but I'm thinking skipping it and just going to this setup.
@carlosribeiro Nice video's Mate. The way you talk…nice to listen. And ofcourse the things are you showing are just briliant. I ordered mine just today. Now Im waiting like a little kid for Santa. In my case its also upgrade from the G29 Toy. Wish you all the best Mate. Muchas gracias :)
Hey Jakob :) Gracias for all the compliments and I hope you enjoy your new wheel, it will be super rewarding to try out once it arrives I can assure you that!
@@carlosribeiroo estoy esperando. Puede ser que viene Mañana :) Gracias Amigo ! :)
I'm genuinely surprised that your gt lite could handle the 8nm so well. I have an f-gt lite and thinking about getting the csl dd and I thought I might NEED a new cockpit for that but apparently not!
Just tighten everything up and you should be alright! You may be slightly limited with positioning since you have to ensure everything is properly centered to distribute the load as much as possible but yeah, not too bad for the price!
My CSL DD and McLaren GT3 wheel rim just arrived today but they’re a Christmas present, the wait is gonna kill me 😅
No chance that is staying wrapped until Christmas ahahahhah
@@carlosribeiroo it will but it will be painful 😂
verdadeiro tugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
nice, I got the same wheel base but went with the club sport v2.5
Enjoy your wheel :) It truly is a great piece of gear!
Is there a video with the entire cost breakdown of the sim setup? Like other than the pc involved, but including the screens, seat etc in the setup? And probably creating it at different price points, on what can be substituted etc. would love to see something like that.
🥰😍🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿 loved your Awesome an honest truth..been thinking of it more and more. I play GT7 and the dual sense is good but man I do need mi a Wheel/Chair setup by fanatec or Moza racing kit - I’m weighing my options between the two
It's a big leap to go from a controller to a higher end wheel so take your time researching everything just to be extra sure of what you are getting and more importantly on your budget for the whole thing!
I'm all excited! All the setups you have are now in my shopping cart. What should I do? lol Coming from just the Xbox controller and an avid enthusiast to Kart racing on the track. My 15-year-old son an occasional track day kart driver would probably enjoy this (Fanatec) rather than the Thrustmaster or the Logitech G923 (No experience). Care to share coupon codes to use :)
Hey!
First of all thank you for the comments glad I could help you out!
I have zero coupons since this was done without any help or connection for fanatec, just a normal guy sharing is perspective!
It is one hell of an upgrade that makes regular SIM racing feel much more engaging than anything I have tried before, so if you can justify the big money purchase you are guaranteed to have some fun.
Great setup, love the DD base and I'm waiting for my CSL DD to arrive. I've heard some of the FFB is dulled out due to collapsible / not v rigid frame of the seat, did you find that to be correct?
I see you mention that at the end of the vid, so question answered! :) Good luck and enjoy!
this will also be my first setup minus the cockpit.. going from racing with a controller to this is ridiculous!!
RIDICULOUS is probably the best word to describe that jump! Congrats!
I have the exactly set up except I have the dd not the pro. still waiting for the pedal to arrival. Looking forward!
Congrats men! Hope you enjoy your setup as much as I have been enjoying mine :)
Then I saw you pick a arcade race game I was like noooo 🤣 Nice rig anyway
Some say behind the scenes I have been checking out some ACC :)
I have another video on this coming out tomorrow and that will have gameplay from different that as well!
Nice Dude, have fun. It doesn't have to be perfect 💟
Thanks! 😃
Please watch out for the movement between the GT wheel and the simplified quickrelease. On our channel you see my fix with some tape. I almost destroyed the connection between base and wheel under highspeed corners and higher ffb moments
Its either that fix, or buying the qr sport or wait for the new QR2.
But the set is amazing, i got ours a few weeks ago and enjoyed it allot.
Subbed to your channel for support.
Hey! Thanks for the heads up! This is definitely something that I talk about in my next video about my experience with the wheel that should be coming out today.
The QR2 is definitely on my radar whenever that comes out
get a aluminum profile rig for it and be even more amazed! The flex takes away so much
For now I don't think I have the budget or the space to justify something bigger and more expensive then this.
Any recommendation for the rig?
@@carlosribeiroo simlab p1-x :)
Very nice! I wish I could get it, but it`s being Sold Out for a while
Indeed! I was on the lookout for 2 months until they had some stock but right now you can still find the GT DD Pro wheel base in stock. If you are more looking for the bundles or for the CSL DD 5NM then that will be much more difficult and honestly I don't see them having stock anytime soon.
Fanatec makes some sick wheel rims.
But horrible quick releases
@@zy5270 not what I heard I hear the plastic one isn't that good but I hear the metal q.r works great.
@@Bobbarker23455 yes but you have to pay 100€ more, the plastic qr shouldn’t even exist
@@Bobbarker23455 Fanatec ecosystem is a huge money pit, as an owner of their products i can confirm that
@@zy5270 well it seems to me everything in sim racing is a huge money pit lol
Have the same wheel it's great for the price all day long but the paddle shifters tend to wear out pretty fast and many times lead to the need to double shift in the worst of times. I would recommend a shifter upgrade at some point. You will see.
Good to know!
Thanks for the comment Darryl :)
Muito top
Muito top este comentário sim senhor :)
Yea I am new to sim racing. When I was looking at the fanatech combo. That starts 399 direct drive. What a deal!!! I am glad I did my research. I am just going to upgrade the pedals later down the road. You have a 5 nm modal or the 8?
8nm! Honestly very worth the extra power not only because of the peak output but you get more nuance between the different forces. Basically better dynamic range if you know that term from the audio/video world
Hell,I received my DD pro and Maclaren wheel today,and tomorrow I’m leaving the country for the next six months.It s..ks.Will leave them unboxed until march.I feel like I’m going to cry!!!
Congrats! Hope you enjoy them! Might want to do a quick test to see if everything is working before you leave!
I had a G29 but it sadly broke. I really enjoyed playing, especially f1 24/7. I am playing on a controller for bout 2 months now and it isnt fun at all. ordered the same setup today(had a playseat challenge before for the G29) I think it is worth it
RIP G29 :(
With that said enjoy your new setup! It's a killer upgrade coming from the G29
Nice. Imagine how you would fell playing a simulator with good force feedback, as AMS2 or iRacing. I never really felt the track playing any codemaster's F1 game.
I read the comments after commenting myself and saw that everybody wrote basically the same thing. But here it goes anyway xD.
Hey! Yeah you are right but at the end of the day, whatever gets you racing is great in my book.
With that said I have been playing some ACC in the past couple of days and it truly is spectacular the level of detail in the force feedback and truly on another level compared to F1 2021. Maybe Codemasters made some improvements in that regard for F1 2022 (probably not though)
@@carlosribeiroo yes. I agree. I don't dislike the game, F1 2018 was the game that introduced me to racing in general, it's an important series. I also hope that they bring some improvements to the force feedback and track details on 2022 version, the VR support is already a good thing.
Excited to try it out for those exact reasons! Apparently the way they calculate tires and suspension has been improved but who knows if that translates any better to the wheel or if it's just marketing
Com esse nome pareces Português, estou enganado? Eu tenho um Fanatec CSW 2.5 e quando eu mudei do meu G27 para o Fanatec a sensação foi a mesma, foi uma incrível sensação. É outro nível de detalhe.
Nome mesmo tuga sim senhor, se tivesse so bigode entao deixava-te sem duvida nenhuma :D
Concordo plenamente, a experiencia nao tem nada a ver comparado com gear driven wheels
Got to say this guy is a hidden gem, hopefully no for long
Appreciate it :) it will always feel like a hidden gem for people that found the channel early IF we ever manage to turn this into something bigger!
"Hey there, Watching this video got me super excited about setting up the exact same rig. The setup you've got here is just on point!
One thing that's been on my mind though, is the durability of the QR1 Lite Wheel-Side, considering it's made of plastic. I'm contemplating whether it's a smart move to also get the QR1 Wheel-Side for added reliability. Have any of you experienced issues with the QR1 Lite breaking easily? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this.
Hey! First of all, glad I could help with all the excitement! :)
As for your question YES, absolutely YES, YES, YES
No money is better spent over my initial setup than the QR1, I would argue that the F1 wheel that costs $50 more is better value than the Mclaren one given that it comes with the QR1 already.
Thanks a lot!
High end using a foldable play seat? The direct drive is dope though
I came from T300 to DD Pro. But i love my Formula V2.5. Much more useable Buttons and Rotaryswitches than GT Wheel an a Metall QR1.
Totally agree, and I was on the edge between the GT3 wheel and the formula V2.5.
Enjoy your wheel! It's one hell of an upgrade :D
Hi there, that’s one hell of a setup, where can I find this to purchase? Just it says on the fanatec website they are sold out, any tips on how to find it?
Thanks :)
If you search for all parts individually you will still find everything in stock in the Fanatec website. As far as I'm aware Fanatec's website is the only place you can buy their gear
Could you give a review regarding the Next Level Racing cockpit with your setup in this video? I am on a budget and I am stuck between yours in the video and the F-GT Next Level Racing.
Hey! The only difference between the gt and the f gt is the formula position that you can’t do on the gt lite. Rigidity wise they are the exact same so really see if you want to use that position to justify the price increase
im gonna buy the new fanatec gt dd pro premium bundle with the shifter from fanatec so its nice to see a hands on look
I will have another video coming out this week so keep an eye out for more details :)
@@carlosribeiroo im excited

Thrustmaster T300 + Wheel Stand Pro V2 + IKEA Poäng 💟
I’ve got a thrust master setup that is £200 but I am getting a huge upgrade which includes getting this wheel base
Congrats! Hope you enjoy your new wheel :)
i respect the fact that he is using air pods to play
You gotta do what you gotta do. I talked about that in a video about iems and currently I don’t use them anymore for this :)
Hey man, just a quick question, you might be able to help me with!
Just got the exact same setup and everything is great apart form one thing. During high g load corners the ground feedback kinda disappears. There’s still „weight“ in the wheel but the actual feedback disappears until the G‘s decrease. I’m running ffb 100 on the wheel and 75 on the game as recommended by fanatac. Have you had this issue or made similar observations?
Playing F123
That sounds really game dependent to be honest. Try your wheel on something like ACC if you can just to clear out any possible issue with the wheel. Go do spa and do eau rouge and I am sure you will feel increase resistance there
Carlos, tenho uma questão, para segurar a base do volante no cockipit foi necessário comprar e usar o CSL DD Table Clamp que é vendido à parte? queria comprar o next level GLite mas tenho essa dúvida se preciso ou não desse acessório.
Nao! O único cenário onde esse table clamp é para ser usado é mesmo para prender a uma mesa. No gt lite apertas a wheelbase directamente com uns parafusos
I have the same setup but the qr lite is junk you will notice it has too much play I would recommend upgrading but you will notice it later
Yeah you are not the first one to point this out. I definitely started feeling some slight clicking when the force feedback kicks in on highspeed corners, nothing major but definitely something to be on the look out for. Looking forward to seeing if Fanatec will upgrade their metal quick release like some people were saying they will and maybe look into that upgrade once that happens!
It looks like you have only a very small amount of FF. You have to crank it up... Then you really have controll over the car.
Did u ever give the other brake pedal a go? I just bought a 8nm and left out the load cell kit, but I’m starting to think I should’ve picked one up…
I think it’s fair to say that the upgrade from a load cell to a “normal” brake pedal is extremely substantial and it can easily be compared to the upgrade to direct drive. Plus keep in mind that lap time is gained under breaking more than any where else!
