Probably could have worded this sentence a little bit better.

​​@@polittajatrying to hang round the outside of T1 is fine but it's not a percentage move. Too many people will run you off the track so you need to trust the other guy not to do that, which didn't happen here, so he could've ended up a lot worse than he did. Bad loser definitely. Bad learner too!

@@TheAgent012 I did that about 15 times. I also tried a qr2. No difference. It turned out to be a "PCBA" fault which Fanatec took 3 months to repair.

I am replying again with a fix I stumbled upon after the original comment was made in case it would help somebody in the future. In my particular case what fixed it (a couple of weeks now without any issues) was drivers update to their latest versions. If you are using the 8nm boost kit, using the stock QR1 lite and experience connection issues the first thing you should try is to update all of the drivers. The underlying problem is indeed with QR1 lite and Fanatec worked around it with a driver patch.

@@Dia_dhuit it's the clamp most of the time. Reseating can work for a bit but it will do it again. My 2nd wheel has started doing the same thing. If seems if you pull on the wheel when your brake or get an oversteer moment, it's too easy to break the connection but my wheel shaft never moved enough for it to come out, to I'm not buying that reason.

@@LittleD08 "PCBA" failure according to Fanatec. £160 repair bill

As long as you know it wasn't my fault.

@@The_BenboBaggins always wheel. Much easier to hold a slide, much harder to catch a spin.

@@The_BenboBaggins it's waaaay more fun. A completely different experience. It will feel you got GT7.5

Chaos! Fastest last grid start...

...or they could just write a game that caters for plebs to maximise sales ...

@@tedcook8749 fanatec gt dd pro. I have a separate video showing some of the issues. I sent it off for repair 3 months ago and it still hasn't been fixed. I had to chase (threaten legal action) via corsair, who now own fanatec, before I got a response. Now waiting for parts. If you're considering getting a wheel I'd consider the thrustmaster t598

@ good to know ! Thanks for the reply!

Yeah I was going to try a full test just by myself, but you can't set single races against the Ai, it has to be online, so I had to go by what I had. But aside from replays, in the actual races I could see I was getting away first, but coming last.

@@mattikake9859 It's definitely annoying! Have them share their replay sometime and check yours and theirs. I bet you see different results in both. It's pretty cool you are mentioning it tho'!

Update Corsair kicked Fanatec where it mattered. They've found the fault, a dodgy "PCBA". £160 for a fix after they waved the shipping fee (£35).

@@iTzDannyC it was fun. Many mistakes from me but that's because I had to try hard. And congratulations on the win.

Where is your personal highlights reel?

Thanks Matti! My personal highlights would have to be the fight for the sprint race win at Dragon Trail Gardens, nothing much between us! Regardless of the outcome

Except it wasn't! Sector 1 was a mess but the tow at the end saved it.

@@iTzDannyC it was good fun. I couldn't get close in the right moments but it's not in my nature to do a daft lunge. It's British to lose with grace!

Facts I’m fast on pad certain times u might see me if ur USA account

@@Wewols no. :(

@@grantross3600 very true! Forgot about that!

@@TheShouldbefamous I didn’t seem to have any issues getting into the tight turns at rbr, or do you mean tighter than that? Steering should always be fed in, generally at the same rate as your braking is trailed off. If you have to whack it over, something has gone wrong in the approach to the corner.

Lol I think I did the drift licences by pure luck on my wheel! 15 minutes of my life wasted that I'll never get back...

They are (very) different. I would go as far to say, playing on controller was simply shit. However, most people don't buy wheels to be fast, they buy them for the immersion. I certainly did. I had the money, I had the space, I'm a race fan and one day I asked myself "wtf am I playing world of tanks with a mouse and keyboard when I have F1 race replays on in the background!?" Never looked back. Sim racing gets your natural urge to compete under control. It's also completely changed how I drive on the road. Now I'm much calmer, patient and less aggressive. If there is elitism with wheel users, it's deserved and should be applied out of principle!

@@mattikake9859, I'm glad you're a race fan and that you enjoy the sim racing hobby. I was simply saying that those using a controller aren't "cheating." But I should have also said that I think it's cool that you took a closer look at how the controller functions with assists in GT7.

@@-ampm- thanks. So does that mean PD consider it an unfair advantage?

@@mattikake9859 unfair? dunno. advantage, yes.

Billy monger has no legs and still raced. Nick Hamilton has cerebral palsy and races BTCC with no aids...

@@LehanBreytenbach do it. It's a different world

@@The-Real-Taco I never used assists in wheel except abs. If it's good enough for the pros it's good enough for me!

@@mattikake9859 I mean on controller - Even if you didnt use them on wheel, maybe im wrong, but I believe the settings to be different - you may have it disabled for a wheel, but it stays enabled for a gamepad. That could be why you find counter steering and turning into a corner more streamlined - im A rated on pad, and trying to catch a spin is like trying to catch a wet fish with your bare hands. Especially once you touch those wet curbs

@@The-Real-Taco oh on pad. No I had them all off except abs. If they were on you would see them on the hud, and they would flash red when in use.

@@mattikake9859 2nd comment calling you into question over a game that they don’t even know what the HUD means

You can change steering sensitivity dude

@@nopetarpan even at max 10 setting, its still too slow. suzuka on analog sticks is crazy hard.

@@VinniStaglianno in every car? Haven't noticed, Win in a few attempts, usually lap3 second try ai get the grips with the circuits

@@nopetarpan usually the faster the car, the harder it gets. like gr3 and above

Tune your suspension to suit

@@IBOO57 yeah you need ninja hands on a wheel. I had to force myself to learn to react faster and more than the ffb would suggest I need to... and you have to straighten up faster than the ffb suggests too. This is why so many wheel users get into a fishtail and lose it big time. You have to over-react in a sense.

@@Da9Project2012 you can see I was running no assists on the hud

@@mattikake9859 yeah okay, I couldn't tell on my phone I can see that clearly now. Interesting, I'm going to do some testing myself, I've never noticed any automatic turn in or anything like that with everything turned off.

​@@Da9Project2012you would probably need to be used to a wheel before you noticed these "hidden" controller assists. They are subtle. When you've only ever used a wheel the input you need has to be exact, so when you suddenly don't have to be, it's very noticeable.

@@mattikake9859 understood, my son and I are looking forward to getting a setup in the future. I had a wheel back when Logitech made the first one that had full lock rotation, I think GT2 or 3 days.

@@mattikake9859 wait a minute. i just tried this on my end, same track, same conditions. i have a pad and i'm using analog sticks. the only way the game auto steers into a corner is if i turn on the assist called "auto drive". otherwise it wont auto turn into a corner. it does, however, auto steer when the car wants to spin out, even with "ASM" and "counter steer" turned off, so you're correct there. I notice it because when using analog sticks and try to do donuts without putting steering input, the red dot would move around even tho the wheels do not. if i use the pad but with the motion sensor for steering tho, the red dot stays put.

@@storyman34 It was over 2 years old. It's gone to Fanatec for a "2 week" repair... 6 weeks later and no news :( Fortunately I got a 2nd hand one from CEX who delivered it in less than 24 hours.

So I had this issue a few weeks ago…switched to qr2 shaft and it’s 💯

Try 8nscrew the clamp pull the shaft and reconnect and retighten the clamp. Might be disconnecting

@jamesh460 that is running a qr2... fanatec have finally got back to me (after I threatened legal action to corsair) and they say there is a fault with the pcba on the wheelbase itself. Waiting for parts.

@jamesh460 yeah. Must've reseated all that lot 15 times. Clamp was as tight as I could possibly get it.

It went off to Fanatec for repair about a week ago. Haven't heard a thing yet...

​@@mattikake9859 heard anythijg now?

I had similar problem wheel kept disconnecting . The fix was to loosen the clamp near the base , ensure the wheel was inserted fully in . Then re tightening the clamp. I believe there is a section in the gt dd pro manual about re setting the spindle . I must have pulled mine slightly out of the C connection inside when braking and pulling on wheel.

@@hip62 yeah I had reseated the clamp and connector about 15 times. It would work for a bit then disconnect. I couldn't get the clamp any tighter than I had it. Then I bought a qr2 as people said that works, but nope, video above is with a qr2. It might be the connector at the wheelbase end or something else wrong with it. Fanatec have now had this wheel for repair for 2 months, and so far, not a word. :(

@mattikake9859 abolute nightmare for you I can imagine
