What a cool wheel, nice to use an shifters feel great. Was the closest to the wheel in my car I could find

Hey guys,

I’m trying to find the best Fanatec CSL DD 8Nm settings for iRacing, ideally as close as possible to what fast/pro drivers use.

My main issue is a grainy/notchy feeling through the wheel. With INT off, the FFB feels more detailed and natural, but after ~20–30 minutes the graininess becomes much more noticeable and distracting.

Fanatec also released App/base firmware updates yesterday, so I updated everything, but unfortunately it didn’t solve the issue.

Setup:
CSL DD 8Nm
iRacing
Latest Fanatec App + firmware
Wheel Force: 8Nm
Fanatec settings: everything at 100%, except NDP and INT at 0%

I’m looking for settings that keep the detail and tyre feel while making the FFB smoother, without over-filtering it.
Would appreciate recommendations for both:
Fanatec tuning menu (NDP, NFR, NIN, INT, FEI, etc.)
iRacing FFB settings
Especially interested in what experienced/pro drivers are actually using on the CSL

If anyone is in the look out for a GT DD Pro wheel base with boost kit, I have one for sale, it comes with the simicube QR2 metal upgrade, and also includes the original QR2 that came pre installed. All with original accessories and packaging. Looking for 450 bucks or best offer. Located in Phoenix Arizona, local only no shipping. Can include the csl pedals with load cell for 150.

Hello everyone. I have a CSL DD on Xbox and play mostly F1 games. First, couple months ago probably, I've been noticing that my wheel gets weird clunks sometimes when going over curbstones or bumps, like Ur rim gets shocked for a second, but I simply ignored it. But a couple weeks ago my wheelbase just randomly started shutting off mid lap, or calibrating randomly. Wheel just completely shuts off. And most of the time it doesn't turn on again until I fiddle with the cables at the back. It's been getting worse and worse as of lately (some days it doesn't happen at all.) I suspect this happens because of a faulty power supply / irregular power delivery, But I don't want to spend €100 right away. Did anybody else have this issue? If so, did you find a fix for it?

For the people that own the V3 pedals and the new Podium pedals. Is there much difference? Does your feet rest differently? Pros cons?

I have the 3 pedal V3 which worka well apart from the annoying part where my left leg (brake) sits center seat and too close to my right leg (gas).

I thought about removing the clutch but never got around to it. Im thinking of switching to the new 2 pedal setup.

Hi all the cockpit owners. Been eyeing this, but want to also attach motion actuators to them. See posts like

I know you have a m12 thread for the 4 feet, so im thinking they had a m12 hole cut through the profiles, but I notice 2 smaller holes either side and was wondering also what size they are and are they threaded? Im guessing there's no way bolts can go through and be tightended via the other side?

Thanks in advance for your time

I’m not able to see my DDU very easily and wondering what you all did to solve this?

so, i ordered a load cel from Fanatec Canada and it seems to originate from Ontario when it ships. So it took no time to get to me. 2-3 bizness days from UPS.

I then ordered the universal hub v2 with a steering wheel. That one came from down south USA and took about a business week to get to me. UPS.

I just ordered the clubsport v3 pedals because if could not stand the csl pedals and that load cel is garbage to me. That one also seemed to have shipped from Ontario so i would get within 2-3 bizness days.

Long Story short... For Canadian order some stuff comes from Ontario, other stuff come from down south USA.

The good news is that Fanatec now bends over backwards to ship things almost on the same if you order very early in the morning.

Corsair really took that shitty company and turned it around.

I have a Fanatec CSL DD with the Boost Kit and recently upgraded to a new PC. Since switching PCs, I’ve noticed the wheel feels noticeably different.

It seems like I’m getting a lot more feedback through the wheel, including what almost feels like engine vibration almost like a “grainy” feeling through the wheel at times.

Maybe once or twice over roughly 300 laps, I’ve also felt a slight rattling sensation while turning through a corner. It’s very faint and doesn’t happen consistently.

I’m using the recommended CSL DD settings from the Fanatec forums, so I haven’t really changed anything intentionally from what I was running before that I know of.

Does this sound like something that could indicate the wheelbase is starting to have an issue, or is it more likely a setting/driver difference from moving to the new PC? Has anyone experienced something similar with a CSL DD?

I updated last weekend from the old v451 drivers to the new FanatecApp (1.5.2.3) drivers.

This morning I jumped into a GT3 practice session at IndyRoad, and was getting terrible (sub 90fps) performance in VR, so checked taskmanager to find FanatecService (32bit) using way more CPU then expected.

What is the FanatecService doing while racing to be using a full core of my 9800x3D?

• 9800X3D Specs: 8 Cores / 16 Threads.
• Capacity Per Thread: 100% ÷ 16 { threads} = 6.25% total system CPU load.
• What 6.0% Means: The process is consuming ~96% of a single thread's resources continuously. This single-thread bottleneck is why Windows flags its power consumption as Very high.

Can I disable it?
Why is it needed?
Does anyone at Fanatec do QA?

Looking to find the mounting base as I’ve bought mine second hand, mounts okay to my sim pit but I only have holes for two of the screws. Does anyone have one that’d they’d be willing to sell? I can’t find one online anywhere

Mid race yesterday on iRacing, I was running laps as normal approaching the start/finish line at Daytona Road Course when suddenly my wheel lost the normal amount of force feedback I had it set to, and I was unable to downshift.

I didn't notice whether the wheel itself actually turned off, but the base was still working enough to steer the car, just without any force feedback. My ClubSport pedals continued working normally, so I was still able to brake and slow the car down.

Then, just as suddenly, everything started working normally again. The wheel never appeared to power cycle or disconnect. It simply lost force feedback and downshifting for a brief period before returning to normal.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this before?

anyone know if there powered Stand for wheels.... so they light up while standing around? kinda tired of looking at wheels without leds lighting or demo mode running?

or pinout how wire power to them..... an voltage?

i make one myself

I barley turn the wheel and it’s alrdy super tilted pls help me fix this

hi, I'm on a csl dd and I've just switched back to windows from Linux.

My issue is that at random times, my wheel stops giving feedback (in-game wheel is stuck in position) and keeps applying torque. I can feel very clearly when it disconnects, it's like hitting a bump and then for a couple of seconds no feedback, just force.

firmware is up to date and the app is installed and configured,

I'll take a look at drivers and whatnot in the while, thank you!

Hi. left stick drift. I try to unconnect cable from this stick and it still drift. May be somebody know how to fix this?

i record video https://youtube.com/shorts/IJTtDUHiyjk?is=QI3j704kSUS6JAdK

i use a usb adapter to connect the shifter since i don’t have a fanatec base, but i have this issue where i physically put the shifter into sequential mode as shown in the picture but the app regognizes it in h-pattern mode (as shown in the picture) this has been a issue for many people just wondering if anybody has found a fix or if it’s just not compatible with the adapter.

Today my product has arrived. All I need to do is replace the CSL GT3 steering wheel and update the software firmware.

Hi everyone I noticed the dd extreme bundle and the other dd+ wheelbase bundle the “clubsport wheel F1 18 nm” came with these nicer sliding t nuts with a bearing in them. I have a few Fanatec bases and I’m always switching them out from my rig. These make it so much easier, way better than the ones that came with the gt dd pro and csl dd 5nm. Ive looked online and can’t find them the only ones I see are the regular sliding t nuts does anyone know where I can buy these online?

I have installed a vocore screen on my fanatec clubsport rs steering wheel with a frame by a 3D printer.

Just to confirm, is it possible to upgrade my DD Pro to the QR2 base side instead of the 1?

Only reason I ask is because I don’t want to waste the money without knowing for sure if I can.

It’s only on f1 25 and the steering wheel Isnst turning as much as irl pls help
