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 !!
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!
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?
Wonderful video. In the TH-cam 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.)
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...
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
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.
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.
if already the USB Type-B can fail relatively easily with de CSL Elite Base, how quickly will the Type-C take damage if you are not careful? very bad choice Fanatec. but I like the video very much
you are not supposed to yank the cable or keeping disconencting it. Anyways, I havent had a wheel base with any issue with the cable connector, fanatec or not
@@randomcallsign you know that and i know that, but i have seen many that have damaged the connection anyway and with this connection something like this can happen even easier now
it's like they just want it to be ugly. judging from the responses on this video alone a quick focus group testing would have told em that everyone thinks this wheel is ugly or I dno, maybe playstation fans like this weird aesthetic, you'd think they would do some market research or something...
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?
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!
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 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
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.
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!
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.

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 ?

My impression is that many sim racers are very concerned about how all of their kit looks.

PC master race! come fight me bro XD
This or the Logitech pro
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!
the only wheel you cant get, because lol fanatec with no resellers and low supply, have fun waiting half a year at least to get one.
as someone who wants to upgrade from a non DD wheel and needs PC and PS compatibility this seems like the perfect choice
guess ill get one in march!
Love the gran turismo 5 music in this video aswell lmao what a nostalgic hit back
T-GT II 😇
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?:)
I'm here after 2 hours of my t300 GT mis calibrates mid game... Not even laughing or crying anymore
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.
Here in Canada it is just frustrating to see the prices of this stuff! Not even close to US price converted to Canadian dollars.

@@randomcallsign Thanks very much man
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?
is there any flimsiness around the center? & does it register the movement around the center in the span of 25 degrees left and right?
Thanks!
hey, thank *you* :D
Position based pedale or load cell?
7:01, what type of socks are these?
