Proving once again why you’re the king of sim racing reviews Barry. I recently purchased a DD1 and the sim lab podium side mount based heavily on your previous reviews. The sim lab mount verbatim obviously but the DD1 based on the “potential” you mentioned in your DD2 review and hoping that would translate across to the DD1. Can confirm, as you have in this video, that it does and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks again Barry 👍😀
THIS is where TH-cam and content makers like you are GREAT: I had done the update to firmware 352 beta and to Fanalab 1.23 beta two days ago and it felt SOOO off coming from 346 and 1.12! I had been experimenting for about two hours after, and while I was able to eliminate most of the oscillation, watching your video gave me some further clues as where to look and fine tune. THANK YOU SO MUCH, I love watching your vids, even if it’s about stuff I don’t have sometimes, as your expertise and input comes from a seasoned sim racer who has a gift putting the feel of a setup into words and make others understand how things are connected. I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas, keep up the great work! Added a few hours later: I was able to better my Daytona road course lap time by 4 tenth with the new firmware and finetuning via Fanalab and the ideas you had given me. Massive!!
The 'nonlinearity under peak holding torque' is a reference to the progressive reduction (Vs time) of available torque from max instantaneous to max continuous, as required to prevent overtemp of the armature. It is a feature of virtually all motor controllers. Enabling the 'linearity' check box limits the available torque to 'max continuous' to ensure that the force feedback remains consistent under all conditions. 'Linearity' is not a 'filter' in the usual sense.
Love the bit where you’re weighing the surface panels to locate the difference in weight... that’s why I watch the SRG! Please release that review for the Podium Hub package!
The kill switch not being included is just unacceptable at this price point. This is just such a disgrace, charging the customer for safety features is not a trend I want to see continue.
Gustavo Salgado I don’t think the AF is outdated. I don’t own one but I’d bet you’d be very happy with it. I’d take the QR system with a usb cable on the AF over the QR system on my DD2 any day.
Love the dd1 just spent 3 grand on fanatec. Works with ps4 ps5 series X and PC. I have a drive hub and it's not needed as long as you have the right wheel base.
Xbox compatibility is tied to the wheel. Playstation compatibility is tied to the wheelbase. Not sure why each vendor decided to set it up that way, but that's what's going on. On the plus side: if you get a PS4 base, you can get an xbox wheel, and have compatibility across all possible systems.
One thing I would like to add, make sure you export all your Fanalab profiles before you update the firmware on your wheebase, as you will lose all your settings if you dont. Found that out the hard way.
The interpolation setting was huge for me when I installed this beta last week. I had mine set to around 3 and it removed so much roughness from going off the road some or hitting a curb. Before that I was getting some force that was so strong that it was basically false FFB. I would not get on the throttle at times I actually could get on it if I set this filter. Feels much better and I feel more confident in sticky situations.
the problem with fanatec is quaility control. if you have trouble-shooting advice in your product info to fix a existing problem with a new product then why would anyone turn to fanatec for a quaility product ? honestly barry, their customer service stinks. their paddle shifters are 737 max standards. sorry, to bring this here but your a reviewer love your work.
This is great. I have a SimuCUBE 2 Sport, and hopefully you’ll have a review of it at some point as it is the direct price competitor to the DD1. BTW Fanatec’s Force Feedback Interpolation is very much similar to the SimuCUBE Force Reconstruction Filter. Edit: I see you mentioned this at the end lol.
First off I love your videos, top notch. I am soon to be in the market for an upgrade to my G29. I already got the CSL LC pedal set and I love it, the modular pedal configuration was the high selling point. Your videos have helped me pick both that out and my GT Omega Apex Wheelstand. Now I am looking to buy a new wheel from Fanatec. I mostly race ovals on iRacing. I haven't seen a review of the CSW V2.5 on your channel yet. I really am curious whether or not you recommend that wheel. I hope you are enjoying Christmas and thanks again for all the great content!
It worry's me about this wheel win you keep Expressing it's weak. I have a package put to gather on their site. I chose Fanatec because they seem to have a complete package with the Sim world. I have Thrustmaster TX and it has clunky feel win floating center ,. Feels like a bad Hime joint on go kart tie rod. Not to mention the feel of dirt in steering shaft. Just looking to make a lasting rig that I am finally happy with. Thanks Barry for your hard work and a great channel.👍
PS4 compatibility comes from having licenced PS4 code within the wheelbase's firmware; Xbox compatibility comes from the attached wheel rim, hence you can make the DD!/DD2 Xbox compatible with just a new rim. The PS4 version is ok value-wise as your get the F1 rim AND the podium shifter module.
they are of complete diff power... you would have to compare it to the sport... which is 18nm or 20 nmforce.... the simucube 2 pro would be compared against the dd2... witch both have 25 nm and the ultimate is in its own league against fanatec
Im not sure, but I wonder if Barry might be misunderstanding the Linearity setting? I havent really done my homework here so I could certainly be wrong, but I interpret the Linearity setting as it will reduce overall strenght, to make sure any torque peaks will come through without clipping. So if anything, force "spikes" or other forms of very powerful forces (eg hitting a kerb at the bottom of eau rouge or similar) should be sharper and more defined in this setting. It should make you be able to feel the whole spectrum of forces without any of it being clipped due to lack of FF-strength, but at the cost of lower impact in the "normal" range of forces. Again, I haven't read any documentation about this setting, so I could be misunderstanding this. (also, I don't own the wheel so can't test it myself)
After this review Barry I opted for the DD1 instead of the new DDS 8nm that's coming out. Final thoughts....You costing me more $$ but hey it's probably well spent! LOL Good stuff.
Hi Barry ,. Was thinking of buying the DD1 For Rally,. Have you any Rally Driving Videos ,and what you think the Best wheelbase you would Recommend for Rally Thanks ,..Cheers.

love your explanations and you give the best reviews, that said if i put 100 FFB force on my dd1 i will brake my wrists...i drive it at 70%!!no clue how you manage to turn...
Hi Barry, amazing review as always! But i have a question, now you are tested this fanatec with the new drivers, compared with the Simucube 2, which is the best? The Simucube 2 still one step up in terms of performance? All this in my point of view where, for example, i am only using iRacing as simulator. Thanks in advance and merry christmas.
PlayStation compatibly chip is within the base, while Xbox chip is in the rim. Why that’s the case is beyond me, but it’s the truth as far as I’ve been made aware.
@@JimmyMakingitwork that's the exact opposite of what they do. Fanatec is the only manufacturer with a way for someone to race on both platforms with one wheelbase.
@@JimmyMakingitwork It's all because of Sony being a bitch about it. They only allow certified peripherals to work with their consoles and will not certify them when they are compatible with xbox.
Another awesome review, thank you Barry. One day, hopefully, I can trade my 12 year-old Fanatec CSR wheel and Ikea chair for a rig even remotely as impressive as yours. 🙄
I still would like you to tear down the DD1. Check whether the PCA is same than in dd2 (part number). Would be interesting to know if that torque limit is done by HW or SW. Fanatec says DD2 and DD1 has different electronics but I'm not that sure!
Fanatec said themselves it's not just software. I trust them enough to know it's true. I would love to see the electronics though. Especially the difference between dd1 and the PS4 dd1 (extra security chip etc.).
This has been the most unauthentic review video thus far. Why the summary conclusion that the weight difference is the aluminum vs carbon fiber plates? There should be a side by side breakdown comparing the case, motor, circuit boards, down to the screws. The video has been somewhat of a let down considering Barry's one of the few with both a DD1 and DD2 and a youtube audience.
Hey Barry, nice video. I see on straights the wheel is really stable even with hands off. How did you set this up? I'm trying but nothing, even hurt my thumb trying to stop it.
Has Anyone experienced a build up of magnetism within the DD1 causing a lumpy resistance points (roughly 10 or 11 peaks of resistance within 360 degrees of rotation)? Restarting the wheel base removes the resistance points but they return over time if the wheel is used and remains powered on. The resistance is strong enough after a few hours that the wheel will not remain centred unless I hold it. If anyone has had this happen, have you found a fix?
I loved the "feeling" of these settings, I'm using it on the CSL DD 8nm, I don't know if I'm missing something important feeling, but I loved it. The only change I made was (FEI)70% and PEAK mode on, (FOR)100%. I think I found the perfect final settings... But let me know if I'm missing something important pls, because my base is different...thank you so much!!

Hello Barry! You do great stuff - very helpful. Thank you for that! Regarding settings in Fanalab on PC - if you modify your settings there do they still count on PS4? ps. your voice is absolute relaxing :D
This video was posted some time ago, but I have a question regarding the DD1.. seeing I just ordered one :-) I've been using a Clubsport V2.5 for about three years, and I got used to lubricating the shaft of the base, because I switch between iRacing and Dirt Rally 2 a lot - F1 to round rim, and it feels like it wil wear over time. I did not see the DD1 shaft in front of me yet, but in pictures and videos it looks to me as if it shouldn't be greased up because of the square rubber.. What do you think? Thanks in advance! And keep up the good work!
@@jakehopt true, but if one of your cables breaks or snaps and you don't notice, you won't be able to close the contact anymore, so the system wont shut down even if you flip the switch in an emergency. If it's normally closed and a cable/ component breaks, the system shuts down immediately (you shut down the system by opening the circuit via the switch). basic electronic safety feature/ failsafe in every halfway decent emergency shut down :)
Are you using any of the speed-sensitive filtering to reduce oscillations, Barry? Also, would patreon supporters be able to download all your ffb profiles for different cars? :D
I have an older Fanatec wheel stand. Does this have the 4 holes for bottom mounting? And can I use my clubsport V.2 pedals with this wheelbase? Thanks.
Regarding the Podium Racing Wheel for PS4 : the PS4 Security Chip is NOT in the blue Formula steering wheel, it is IN THE BASE! Therefore the normal DD1 and DD2 can't be upgraded to PS4 compatibility, because they both do not have this PS4 Security Chip and therefore when attaching that blue Formula Wheel to a normal DD1 or DD2 doesn't make them PS4 compatible. This is well documented and its very surprising that you got this one wrong...
My friend! Is the power plug a US Plug B or is it the European plug? If it’s the European, how would one go about getting it to be the US Plug B. Thank you!
I was really hoping the new drivers and FW would fix my DD2s fan issues....random 100% RPM at startup and idle....Nope, it’s even worse now. I’ll turn it on and the fan will go nuts until I start driving for awhile. Almost every time now. Before it wasn’t that bad. I’m not looking forward to pulling it off my chassis and having to send it back. Seriously, that’s major task for me. They should send me a new one and take this broken one back in a return package at least.
Travis Lu Absolutely. It’s more expensive in the long run but if I’m willing to spend $1500+ on just a motor, I should be willing to pay a premium for premium wheels and QRs. Performance wise the Podium DD2 is getting better....way better. When I first got it in July it sucked. I was pissed I bought the DD2 then sold my CSW V2. Right now, beside the fact I’m going to have to send it back because of the fan issue....which is a huge inconvenience and a pretty big task itself. My only complaint with the DD2 is the QR system. It doesn’t reflect the price. I’m happy its backwards compatible but it came at the cost. I honestly wouldn’t mind using a usb cable and aftermarket wheel.
also ich kann folgendes sagen, hatte die weelbase 2.5 rennsitz gekauft und los, Ergebnis ich kam nicht durch mit den Einstellungen, nach ca 3 Monaten frust montiere ich mein logitech g27 und in der ersten runde nüüüüüüürburging nordschleife 17 jaaaa 17 secunden schneller als mit dem schrott von fanatec. und nun habe ich das beste Lenkrad tr3oors danke für ihre aufmerksamkeit
After testing the Fanatec recommended and your settings with both Linearity on and off I prefer having it off, if I am looking to find more feeling in the tyres and wheel in corners what direction and what settings would you suggest? My CSWv2.5 with near recommended settings felt very natural and intuitive in corners and grip among iRacing/ACC, I can't get this to feel the same in iRacing using SBRS or Porsche 911 RSR. Appreciate it! p.s I emailed for international order on a shirt a month ago and got no reply? Should I email again?
Hi, loving the channel.. I have one question, are dd wheels any good for drifting? I have a tm t gt and a fanatec csl elite, both great wheels in my opinion. Im thinking of a dd wheel next year but am not sure if its worth it for im mostly drifting. Thank you for the feedback, keep up the good work
Hi all **please read** .. i want to say I've just replicated the exact settings (in iracing and fanatec) used in this review on my DD2. Now the feel of the wheel and while driving is truly the best i've ever felt it, BUUUUT.. and i mean a very big BUT.. i lost control on one corner and hit the wall, not a hard hit but i warn you all now the strength of the FFB in the wheel at that point was insane!!! in fact waaaay too strong and borderline dangerous! so please just be careful. Love your video's Barry, i just wanted to highlight this issue.
So am wondering is the dd2 extra 5nm worth the price tag? Did you notice not having it? Also does the porsche hub flex like in the review on the dd2? As you never mentioned it inthe video. Regards
lurcho101 It's not the steering wheel that flexes, it's the quick release, because all Fanatec wheels have the same quick release they all share the same flex.
If you turn on linearity (which lowers the overall effects), have you tried to raise the FFB forces in-game to get to the same strength as before? Maybe you would get the same amount of detail but have guaranteed linear forces, which I hear is quite important. What do you think Barry? Have you tried that?
Just buy a dd2 and a ps wheel and use a drive hub with hori controller, it will work out cheaper than the podium f1 for ps4 and it works exactly the same
So if you're just tuning the way the wheel responds to and delivers forces from the sim, is it right to think that it could work with GTSport on the PS4 Podium?
Interpolation should be set on a per engine basis, not per car basis. Also, interpolation need isn’t subjective. If the Hz of the game engine is low, you want a light interpolation. No real car has that grainy feel while rotating the car: it’s a purely digital to analog artifact caused by the refresh rate of the engine not maxing out the wheel refresh rate (1000hz)
I'm about 1/4 of the way from affording this wheel base but 3/4 of the way from having this haircut.
I can definitely live with that.
That's how you afford the wheel...skip the barber.
Proving once again why you’re the king of sim racing reviews Barry. I recently purchased a DD1 and the sim lab podium side mount based heavily on your previous reviews. The sim lab mount verbatim obviously but the DD1 based on the “potential” you mentioned in your DD2 review and hoping that would translate across to the DD1. Can confirm, as you have in this video, that it does and I couldn’t be happier.
Thanks again Barry 👍😀
The 5 Nm difference actually comes from the carbon fiber panels.
I wish 😂 I have the Podium Wheel (the PS4 compatible version) which comes with the carbon sides, but still 20 Nm
@@Urufu-san
That's what I use. The carbon of the PS4 version has a blue shimmer...I believe that gives you even more torque. 😃
Attila TheHUN let me check... 😜
Fact! !
Pfff Actually all you need to get 10Nm more is to increase the voltage...

Hello Barry! You do great stuff - very helpful. Thank you for that!
Regarding settings in Fanalab on PC - if you modify your settings there do they still count on PS4?
ps. your voice is absolute relaxing :D
Awsome review as allways! 🎉🍾🥂😁
Would like to see your thoughts on SC2 Sport or Pro vs. DD, I'm assuming you prefer the Simucube.
This video was posted some time ago, but I have a question regarding the DD1.. seeing I just ordered one :-) I've been using a Clubsport V2.5 for about three years, and I got used to lubricating the shaft of the base, because I switch between iRacing and Dirt Rally 2 a lot - F1 to round rim, and it feels like it wil wear over time. I did not see the DD1 shaft in front of me yet, but in pictures and videos it looks to me as if it shouldn't be greased up because of the square rubber.. What do you think? Thanks in advance! And keep up the good work!
wait, the E-Stop is a normally open contact? should be normally closed, so it shuts the system off when the connection breaks.
Wait what? If it's normally open, you break the connection by closing it, and it shuts the system off. So that's exactly what it does.
@@jakehopt true, but if one of your cables breaks or snaps and you don't notice, you won't be able to close the contact anymore, so the system wont shut down even if you flip the switch in an emergency.
If it's normally closed and a cable/ component breaks, the system shuts down immediately (you shut down the system by opening the circuit via the switch). basic electronic safety feature/ failsafe in every halfway decent emergency shut down :)
So what settings do you use now on the DD1 when/if you use it anymore? Have they changed since this video?
Are you using any of the speed-sensitive filtering to reduce oscillations, Barry? Also, would patreon supporters be able to download all your ffb profiles for different cars? :D
okay should I buy this or the Simagic M10???please help
I have an older Fanatec wheel stand. Does this have the 4 holes for bottom mounting? And can I use my clubsport V.2 pedals with this wheelbase?
Thanks.
Good one Barry thanking you
please tell me the motion rig setup in this video. I love that its doing YAW...
Regarding the Podium Racing Wheel for PS4 : the PS4 Security Chip is NOT in the blue Formula steering wheel, it is IN THE BASE! Therefore the normal DD1 and DD2 can't be upgraded to PS4 compatibility, because they both do not have this PS4 Security Chip and therefore when attaching that blue Formula Wheel to a normal DD1 or DD2 doesn't make them PS4 compatible. This is well documented and its very surprising that you got this one wrong...
How dare someone get a detail wrong about your precious PS4? Surprised you didn't tell him to go sit in a corner for half an hour.
So if its just a chip why didn't they just add it to ALL bases. Very odd
@@02semiata not really odd, most likely licensing reasons. ^^
@@momorious agreed...everybody wants to get paid for everything little thing!
@@momorious Fanatec can afford the license /charge more. Its a silly move on their part
My friend! Is the power plug a US Plug B or is it the European plug? If it’s the European, how would one go about getting it to be the US Plug B.
Thank you!
HI Barry. Can you share the specs of your beautiful SIm Rig. Need all the hardware details please. Thank you
You are the best man!
i started to think about retiring my trusty g25, where to look for a replacement? SRG of course :)
I was really hoping the new drivers and FW would fix my DD2s fan issues....random 100% RPM at startup and idle....Nope, it’s even worse now. I’ll turn it on and the fan will go nuts until I start driving for awhile. Almost every time now. Before it wasn’t that bad.
I’m not looking forward to pulling it off my chassis and having to send it back. Seriously, that’s major task for me. They should send me a new one and take this broken one back in a return package at least.
Sad to hear you have even more issues with your DD2 buddy! Think I will keep my CSW 2.5 for quite a while!..
If you had the chance again would you have just gone with a SC2?
Travis Lu Absolutely. It’s more expensive in the long run but if I’m willing to spend $1500+ on just a motor, I should be willing to pay a premium for premium wheels and QRs.
Performance wise the Podium DD2 is getting better....way better. When I first got it in July it sucked. I was pissed I bought the DD2 then sold my CSW V2.
Right now, beside the fact I’m going to have to send it back because of the fan issue....which is a huge inconvenience and a pretty big task itself.
My only complaint with the DD2 is the QR system. It doesn’t reflect the price. I’m happy its backwards compatible but it came at the cost.
I honestly wouldn’t mind using a usb cable and aftermarket wheel.
Did you update your motor after the software update?
Dennis Ro Everything is up to date.
Awesome review. Really helped me make some decisions on the direction I want to go. Thank you for such a detailed review!
also ich kann folgendes sagen, hatte die weelbase 2.5 rennsitz gekauft und los, Ergebnis ich kam nicht durch mit den Einstellungen, nach ca 3 Monaten frust montiere ich mein logitech g27 und in der ersten runde nüüüüüüürburging nordschleife 17 jaaaa 17 secunden schneller als mit dem schrott von fanatec. und nun habe ich das beste Lenkrad tr3oors danke für ihre aufmerksamkeit
Great review Barry! Did you quit using Z Ring?
Can you tell me what chassis you have? Im considering purchasing a sim package. Thanks Much Dwight
After testing the Fanatec recommended and your settings with both Linearity on and off I prefer having it off, if I am looking to find more feeling in the tyres and wheel in corners what direction and what settings would you suggest? My CSWv2.5 with near recommended settings felt very natural and intuitive in corners and grip among iRacing/ACC, I can't get this to feel the same in iRacing using SBRS or Porsche 911 RSR.
Appreciate it! p.s I emailed for international order on a shirt a month ago and got no reply? Should I email again?
Idc about money is the dd1 OR dd2 better?
Hi, loving the channel.. I have one question, are dd wheels any good for drifting? I have a tm t gt and a fanatec csl elite, both great wheels in my opinion. Im thinking of a dd wheel next year but am not sure if its worth it for im mostly drifting. Thank you for the feedback, keep up the good work
From what I hear, they're great for drifting and will even self correct slides if you have them set up correctly.
@@TheThorntonBrapper Yes, just like real cars.
Hi all **please read** .. i want to say I've just replicated the exact settings (in iracing and fanatec) used in this review on my DD2. Now the feel of the wheel and while driving is truly the best i've ever felt it, BUUUUT.. and i mean a very big BUT.. i lost control on one corner and hit the wall, not a hard hit but i warn you all now the strength of the FFB in the wheel at that point was insane!!! in fact waaaay too strong and borderline dangerous! so please just be careful. Love your video's Barry, i just wanted to highlight this issue.
Are you still enjoying the DD2? Have you been able to compare it with the SC2 Pro?
All things considered i much prefer the DD2.. however that is only a personal but honest opinion
@@Sir__Gambit I appreciate the honesty
Finally! Thanks!
If its so important firmware update so why its only beta? I'd prefer to install final build.
Because public feedback is required to make it final.
So am wondering is the dd2 extra 5nm worth the price tag? Did you notice not having it?
Also does the porsche hub flex like in the review on the dd2? As you never mentioned it inthe video.
Regards
lurcho101 It's not the steering wheel that flexes, it's the quick release, because all Fanatec wheels have the same quick release they all share the same flex.
Can the DD1/DD2 easily mounted onto the Obutto R3volution cockpit?
Are you using the P1-X attached to the Traction Plus (minus the Motion v3) in this video?
If you turn on linearity (which lowers the overall effects), have you tried to raise the FFB forces in-game to get to the same strength as before? Maybe you would get the same amount of detail but have guaranteed linear forces, which I hear is quite important. What do you think Barry? Have you tried that?
Amadeus Zhukauskas Linearity takes some detail away, even if you crack up FFB in-Game, tried it
@@Urufu-san Thanks for letting me know.
Wich one very recomend for drifting fanatec?
Dd1 freeze is problem?
Just buy a dd2 and a ps wheel and use a drive hub with hori controller, it will work out cheaper than the podium f1 for ps4 and it works exactly the same
Is that NLR Traction underneath a P1 on D-BOX? How did mount all those in? Is there build video of this rig?
th-cam.com/video/AzOBXu9gRtc/w-d-xo.html
Great video great channel -- Thanks :)
So if you're just tuning the way the wheel responds to and delivers forces from the sim, is it right to think that it could work with GTSport on the PS4 Podium?
Interpolation should be set on a per engine basis, not per car basis. Also, interpolation need isn’t subjective. If the Hz of the game engine is low, you want a light interpolation. No real car has that grainy feel while rotating the car: it’s a purely digital to analog artifact caused by the refresh rate of the engine not maxing out the wheel refresh rate (1000hz)
which is better this or simagic m10?
better the dd1 or the dd2?
Would you know how to install the updates if you run a DD1 only on Xbox series X?
Just get a bodnar and its game over for all dd units cause Leo is King
How does it compare to AccuForce V2?
Hey Barry what are your first thoughts on the porshe gt3 wheel
He's doing a separate review on the Porsche wheel.
