Help Clubsport gt nightmare

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

Good morning everyone!
First time posting here, so here’s my story.
Yesterday I received my brand-new Fanatec ClubSport GT cockpit, and honestly… it’s been a huge disappointment so far.
The adjustability is pretty poor, the build quality in some areas leaves a lot to be desired, but the biggest issue by far is how incredibly difficult it is to assemble.
I just can’t get the holes to line up properly. I managed to put the main frame together, but when I tried installing the top crossbar that connects both sides, it felt like the lower part of the frame was way too wide. That suspicion was confirmed when I tried mounting the pedal plate: it’s off by around 15 mm, so the holes in the frame and the pedal plate simply don’t line up.

Same issue here. If I try to bolt on the crossbar that connects both sides of the frame, there’s absolutely no way I can get the holes to line up. They’re just way too far apart.

I’m starting to think the long lower tube that connects both sides was machined incorrectly. If I squeeze the sides together as hard as I can, it looks like the pedal plate might fit, but there’s no way it does when everything is bolted together properly.
On top of that, one of the adjustment knobs won’t thread in correctly. The problem isn’t the threaded insert in the frame—the threads on the knob itself seem to be damaged.

Has anyone else run into these kinds of issues, or am I just the unluckiest person on the planet?
Thanks!

Seeking Product Recommendations What should I know? Fanatec GT DD Pro

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

After an unsuccessful experience with the Thrustmaster t598, I decided to buy the Fanatec GT DD Pro 5nm qr2.

I’m a PS5 player, so I don’t have much choice when it comes to compatibility.

I play Gran Turismo 7 mainly, so the DD Pro seems like the best option.

Are there any important things I need to know before buying?

Is it worth updating the base? I’ve heard there are some issues with the new software.

Can I just play without the software update?

Thanks you in advance!

Game Settings Violent wheel shake on CS DD+ in iRacing

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I downloaded Maurice's profile from this Google Drive folder and tried to set it up for Dallara P217, but I have violent wheel shake on straights and even while stationary.

I followed the README file, updated in game settings and updated app.ini file with the specified values.

Wheel drivers are up to date and Fanatec App is ver. 1.4.2.3.

https://reddit.com/link/1v3kyub/video/fbf310i64teh1/player

If anyone has an advice I would really appreciate it, im quite new to this.

PS. I know its not Dallara in the video, recorded this when I wanted to check if it happens on other cars.

Game Settings In-game LEDs not in sync with my Fanatec Formula V2.5

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the LED lights on my Fanatec Formula V2.5 wheel in Le Mans Ultimate.

My setup:

  • Fanatec Formula V2.5 wheel
  • CSL DD 8Nm wheelbase
  • Latest Fanatec firmware installed through the Fanatec app

The issue is that the LEDs on the Formula V2.5 are not always synced with the in-game RPM lights. For example, when the game shows 5 LEDs lit up, my physical wheel might only show 1 or 2 LEDs. It feels like there is a delay or the wheel is receiving incorrect RPM information.

What’s strange is that I don’t have this issue with every car. For example, the Mercedes LMGT3 works perfectly, the LEDs match the in-game display and respond correctly.

I’ve already tried several things, including updating firmware and changing settings, but I haven’t been able to find the cause.

Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a solution?

Thanks in advance!
