Fanatec Porsche Wheel http://forum.racesimcentral.com/showthread.php?t=298533&highlight=fanatec&page=4 My comments on the Fanatec Porsche Wheel. Mike

Fanatec Wheel Review update I sent an email to their support desk asking if there was a way for me to lighten the brake pressure without violating the warranty. No, I expected that. So I won't be doing that for sure. I may look into it after the warrantey period if I have not become very good...

Fanatec That is so true. Not everyones computer desk or lap is compatible with geting the best experience out of a wheel set. One reason I like to use my lap is so the wheel be at a comfortable level and I do not have to reach upward above the desktop level to grasp the wheel which is...

I have sucessfully used the Fanatec Wheel in GPL and GTR2 so far including the use of GPL Shift. At first I was a bit concerned about the wireless connnection, but I think one just has to make sure there are no metal or electronic items between the wireless doggle and the pedals or wheel and...

I got my Fanatec Porsche 911 Wheel at lunchtime today The Fanatec Porsche 911 wheel set arrived via DHL today. Set it up as per the instructions provided in a .pdf manaul on the thumb drive provided. Didn't have much time, on my lunch break. Got to the point of entering GPL and was not...

I have a tracking number now Recieved an notice via email today from Fanatec that my Fanatec Wheel has been picked up by DHL in California and is enroute to me now. :roll:Expected delivery is next week. So I have a tracking number now, finally. Apparently, US customs/security delays occured...

Paddles The wheel has those flaps, they are called paddles. I've reviewed the user manual to confirm this. I will probably use the paddles to shift to start with, maybe I'll use the shifter if I can improve my performance using them. Mike

Rip it apart??!! No, I won't be taking it apart, :twitch:not while it's under warranty and probably never. I have seen the insides of it on some posts someplace and maybe on u-tube, not sure of the later. My old trusty MOMO hasn't broken in any way like you have experienced, and it's been...

Fanatec Delivery Status Update The Fanatec folks are quick to respond to email inquiries and are very positive/friendly, impressive. I was emailed today by their customer support department that there was a delay in clearing customs (that is predictable) and that the Wheels should arrive at the...

Fanatec Porsche name It's sort of neat that they adopted the Porsche style with the wheel. But frankly, I would rather have had the money spent on improvements to the hardware and software than paying for an expensive emblem on the wheel. The possible advantage to the Porsche association is...

Status Update for my Fanatec Wheel Purchase. Just recieved an email with an invoice attached stating that my payment has been recieved (I ordered the Wheel a couple weeks ago) and that it would now be shipped. Shipment will take about a week according to the invoice. So I should see it next...

My current opinion I've noted that a lot of the concern with the Fanatec wheel was actually based on the beta version of the wheel. It was commendable for them to openly involve the sim racing community in performing beta testing during their development of the final product. Admirable. Of...

Good News - Delivery coming soon Just recieved an email from Fanatec saying I would have the Wheel set delivered by mid May. Lookiing forward to it. I trust that the pedals will be much improved over the beta version reported before as that is critical to my satisfaction with the system. I...

Field Engineering Is there a template to mount the pedals unit? If so, they could be mounted on a piece of plywood that would grip the floor better. Or perhaps putting a heavy object (a brick or two) behind the pedal unit on the floor? Perhaps some padding of some sort could be placed...
