    Well after using about 6 different types of steering wheels over a period of 35 years finally i decided to go in at the deep end and buy a direct drive wheel.
    all new to me so this video is the unboxing and the first steps in DD world.

    Happy birthday! A DD wheel is a washing machine engine with different electronics attached to it.

    Cool, I missed the springs in the front..
    I don't have a rip in my seat or a point under where I can attach a belt, but moving the mounting points forward on the side mounts made the seat belt keep it's place down more towards my thighs, and made it better. 😊

    Considering selling my DD2. I want more road feel. Its very strong but I want more feel.

      Hmm any idea what you would buy instead? Not complaining about my DD1 but in all honesty I liked my clubsport 2'5 just as much 🤔😉

      @@channelvr1293 I've heard others say that. I feel like fanatec hasn't dialed in their dd wheels like they did their 2.5 wheel. I dont know how long it will take for them to do that. Im looking at VRS and Simucube 2 pro. I've heard that both of those are better than fanatec. Its a real shame that the road feel just isn't there

    Thanks for proving to me that you are in fact a manly manly man who can take 100%, but I'd be curious to know what you think of it in the 25-50% range.

    Why would you keep increasing the ffb when your struggling to turn the car. 50% is way to high for a GT type car, you never even checked the other parameters on the base. Why do folks seem to think high ffb is realistic, get real buddy and adjust the settings correctly or don't bother doing pointless videos.

      Hold your horses.....LOL i was just testing the wheel .. not trying to replicate real driving..... meanwhile i have setup the wheel and mostly use it at 45% the rest like gain i adjust in the game menu depending on what sim it is.... works perfectly now.

      @@channelvr1293 why not show folks setting up the wheel, people that watch this type of video know all about the high torque these DD wheels can produce. What we won't to know about is fidelity and accuracy , is it worth the step up from belt drive ? Arsing around just pisses me off.

      @@channelvr1293 I'm wondering wether to pull the trigger on a Fanatec DD base but have not yet seen a really satisfying review on them. All we get is unboxing or videos like yours so it's probably the frustration in me coming out. Wish someone would do a good review instead of bragging about the fact they've got one.
