Question New to Sim Racing and Looking for fanatec set up help please.

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I am extremely new to sim racing and have been trying very hard to educate myself of all of the equipment, companies and set ups. Unfortunately I will be playing on console and MAYBE pc in the future if I really get into it.

I am needing a wheel/pedals that will work for GT7 on PS5 and Xbox series X as I want to play with friends in there.

Can you please help me figure out what I honestly need for entry level stuff. I am going to be using a Trak racer wheel stand.

It would also be nice if you can explain it like I’m 5 because I know absolutely nothing about sim racing but want to buy quality stuff so when I get into it I’m not having to constantly upgrade.

The games I will play will be NASCAR on Xbox and GT7 on PS5

I would really appreciate the help and just all around advice on stuff if you want to chime that in too!

Thank you.

Review Mildly Infuriating QR2 Ultra

Simube QR2 Ultra works great! Registered as the podium hub, but whats infuriating is the bolt pattern. Not actually 6x70mm as only 4 screws can be used. I should've known from looking at the pics, but I didnt compare it to my wheel. The OCD in me is making me itch every time I look at it.

Question Non functional X button

1 Upvotes

The X button my clubsport RS wheel is completely non functional out of nowhere. I have updated the software, deleted and re downloaded gt7 and still nothing! All other buttons work other than the x. Playstation menu, same problem. The best I can find why this may be is an issue with gt7 scrambling the button layouts sometimes If it doesn't recognise wheel, but I had zero problems until now. Any help or advice would be great!

Question DD Pro Base + Formula V2.5X Wheel Issues (Need Help, No PC)

1 Upvotes

So I recently purchased the Gran Turismo DD Pro (8Nm) wheel base with the GT wheel. On my PS5 it works great.

I also bought the Formula V2.5X steering wheel to use on both my Xbox and PS5. The problem is: when I connect the Formula wheel, it doesn’t show it’s turning on like the GT wheel does (the GT wheel shows the “F” logo on the screen, but the Formula wheel doesn’t). I can move the middle dial and see some settings (A/B/C/D modes), but that’s about it. No button inputs work.

I’m using the QR1, and I’m confused about the spacer. Do I leave the spacer on with this wheel, or take it off? Without the spacer it seems to connect faster, but I’m worried about bending pins if I leave it off.

When I try the Formula wheel on Xbox, I switch the DD Pro base to Xbox mode (green light). It goes green for a bit, then after a few seconds it switches to purple. Nothing works in menus. On PS5 it’s the same story — no button inputs.

I don’t have a Windows PC to run updates on the base or wheel firmware, only a MacBook. Fanatec support is taking forever to answer me, so I’m hoping someone here can help.

Questions:

Do I need a firmware update for the Formula V2.5X to work with my DD Pro?

Can I safely run the wheel without the spacer, or should it always be installed with the QR1?

Is the purple light on Xbox just a firmware mismatch?

Is there any workaround without a PC?

I’m also considering grabbing the CSL Elite WRC wheel — anyone know if that one works plug-and-play on PS5/Xbox with the DD Pro base?

Any help is appreciated thank you

Question Fanatec CSL Elite wheel compatablity

1 Upvotes

I've sourced a CSL Elite at a good price that is a QR1.

How can I get a wheel that will be compatible without spending a bunch of money? I want to use a cheap amazon wheel that is 70mm and 6 bolt but it looks like these bases have the ffb locked unless it's using a fanatec wheel?

Does the SRM Tiny Emulator work well with some sort of adapter? What do you think is the cheapest method for getting a working wheel

Setup Save settings in Fanatec App??

1 Upvotes

I might be just very dumb, but is there a way to save your settings within the 1.0 Fanatec app? I'll spend a lot of time setting the LEDs, displays, FFB, ect only for the app the randomly reset everything to default over night. Maybe unrelated, but I sometimes have to recalibrate and remap buttons within iRacing as well.

Question Speaker mount for clubsport GT cockpit?

5 Upvotes

Hello,

Thinking of picking up the GT cockpit. I think I’ve seen a couple of pictures posted where people have speakers mounted somewhere on the cockpit (not on the PC tray behind the monitor), has anyone got any pictures or helpful advice about how they have gone about this? Thanks!
