FANATEC Formula V2 Wheel - Follow Up Review + F1 2018 Button Mapping
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 мар 2019
- A few weeks ago now I put together an unboxing and initial impressions video for the newly released FANATEC Formula V2 wheel. Overall I was very happy with the wheel, but I highlighted that I would have liked the thumb wheels to have a little more tactile feedback.
I mentioned in the video that I would probably end up getting sued to it, but felt like it was important to be completely open and honest in my initial impressions video.
Since then I've spent around 20 hours using the wheel, so in this video I talk about my revised impressions having now gotten used to the wheel.

I absolutely love how in depth you go
The thumb wheels on most F1 cars are for diff and brake bias traditionally which means they should be kinda soft but still sturdy.
Hamilton should reconfigure his button layout to yours so he can hold his hands on the wheel more ghehe
Lmao!
Great video! I love how every button is in reach
Fantastic video about the bottons en switches for this wheel! Thanks Will!
That is a really nice looking wheel!
And good with many buttons close in reach!
Yes and you can decorate them and make them look even better. There is a french company that does stickers for all the F1 teams, but if i mention who, they will remove my blog.
I like the way the leds flash in sync when you drive down the pit lane it looks so cool. Ive ordered the mercedes liverie for my wheelbase and wheel.
Would love to see a review in VR with this wheel, or wheel comparison, to see how easy or difficult the buttons can be found with a VR headset on and advice on button assignment in VR.
Oh that would be interesting for sure
TheSubieFan all easy to be honest. Harder is the right encoder because i barely use it
Great video. I ordered it yesterday :D
anyone knows what the heck is button 24? The one in the middle. I didn't find any manual or whatsoever for it.
Hi Will, can you explain how you are using the gears as the clutch bite point with the podium upgrade? I cannot get it to work thanks
I think your "flick" issue/ thing can be addressed on the wheel tuning menu on the last item on the list...and is how those encoders function....
Some people commented that it is too small and makes it hard to control the car for long periods of time compared to the cheaper fanatec mclaren wheel. But this one has so many buttons! :(
I know this is an old video, but what program did you run on that screen attached to the wheel base?
I have the same clubsport v2 wheel
I cannot program that button you have to look around, when I try to program it nothing happens in f1 2019?
Any ideas?
Also both my thumb wheels fail to program as well
Any help would be great
I am using xbox one not pc.
Yet again, another piece of equipment I have thanks to you. I have the Formula V2 also with it's Advanced Paddle Module. But waiting on the Podium PS4 to arrive. Then I will attach the two and test them out of the new Fanatec Direct Drive for PS4. So thanks again and keep up the good, informative videos.
Can you do a vs comparison video of the v3 pedals vs the elite with loadcell?
I have read mixed debates between the two.
Do you also have binding for your Cube Controls FPRO?
Nice video. Just what i was looking for for my F1 2019 rim. So many buttons didnt know what to assign to what button.
Hey buddy, how is this rim for GT racing? I'm wondering whether to go for this or a GT wheel from fanatec
Can’t see the calibration video anywhere. Can you help?
could you help me out with my V2.5? I wanted it to show the gear selection in the display but it never happens, tried Fanalab and so on.. always shows the speed only
Does anyone know how to get flag leds working in f1 2021 on PC with formula v2.5x?
So what's up with the dial switches? No work in F1 2018?
How about in Assetto Corsa Competizion?
Where did you buy those gloves? Nice vid btw!!
cant seem to get the led lights on the wheel to turn on. same wheel youre usinng in this video
Can you now use the switches on f1 2019 on console or pc?
How is the led flags in RaceRoom after the fanatec new sdk was implemented last month? (All wheel functions/features should be now fully working at least in RaceRoom?)
Can’t say I’ve tested it but I’ll check it out.
How many button and or knobs work when playing with ps4 or xbox
What is the device /screen sitting on top of your base ?
What’s the model of your alpinestars gloves mate? Cheers!
Nice video! Is the back of the wheel (where the Fanatec logo is printed - top back) plastic or metal? Thanks!
Rubberised Coated Plastic. I believe it’s metal on the newly announced F1 2019 Limited Edition wheel.
@@boostedmedia Thanks! That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out right now. If the 2019 F1 wheel is metal, I'll get that, but for now I prefer the V2, especially that I'm not just playing F1 games, but more GT3 type cars... The silver theme really doesn't appeal to me on the 2019 wheel though.
We need this for 2020 legend
What is the small screen you have on top of your wheel? How does that integrate?
ruclips.net/video/T1Dz603uAV4/видео.html
I find it very strange that the 2.5X is not shown on the AU store. Do you have any idea why? We only seem to have the 2 and the 2.5 which is available next Jan.
I assume they’re still selling through old stock before making it available.
Did you get the podium paddles yet, if so are all the buttons mappable? I tried to use them in F1 2018 and they wouldn't map at all, only the middle one would. I'm using a PC...Thanks.
Expecting them to arrive tomorrow.
Nice!!! Let me know what you think of them please. Thanks.
Which stand do you use for the mobile data in front? Do you mount it on the base?
It’s just a bracket I 3d printed.
How can you delete the middle of the halo for your sight?
Under camera options.
Excelente video , não entendi nada, mas parabéns pela camisa do Senna , foi o melhor de todos
is there a view where you do not have to look at the wheel or drivers hands to make it feel more real?
Unfortunately not. You can disable wheel animation but can’t hide the wheel entirely.
you can move camera forwardtill wheel disapears.
Where can I get that screen that's on your base?
ruclips.net/video/T1Dz603uAV4/видео.html
Awesome video!
I hope u can help me making a clever decision of what to do.
I have a G29 and it is my first ever wheel, and I've had it since January 2019. I only use it with F1 2018 on PS4, because I don't have interest in racing other racing games.
Is it really worth it of upgrading to a fanatec wheel? I love G29, but many people have told me that I'm really quick in the game, and if I wanted I could go pro and maybe eSport in the future.
And if u recommend me to upgrade to Fanatec, which wheel do u think I should get? It must be said that I only play on PS4.
Did you eventually buy the fanatec wheel?
Have you tried this wheel on f1 2019 if yes how does it feel . i am thinking of getting one . Do you recommend it?? Thanks in advance
Yeah I used it a lot for F1 2019. Imo it’s one of the best wheels for it. The thumb encoders are brilliant for manual ERS and Fuel Trim control.
I love your racing gloves! Do you have a link to buy them?
Gloves: amzn.to/2HShfla
Boots: amzn.to/2UsRcaf
Make sure you check your size!
@@boostedmedia Thanks buddy!
Hey can you make a video were you use this wheel in forza horizon 4 or 3? that's what i play and I'm thinking of getting it so it would help! 😁
There is a french company that does fantastic stickers to decorate you wheel ,they do most of the F1 teams .
Cool vid thanks for going into a lot of details. I’m thinking of buying one of these wheels. Is it the same on f1 2019 ?
Yep exactly the same except the additional flag LEDs work on 2019.
Link is in the description if you’d like to help out the channel by using it :)
Boosted Media yes I will,I seen few things online tho the thumb wheels don’t work on ps4 so I haven’t yet. Trying to confirm. 😔
can I use clubsport wheel v2 on csl elite base?
Yes
What model next level is that?
Why some button not work in ps4 and Xbox one?
Those platforms don’t support the functions. It’s a limitation of the platforms themselves.
What are the dimensions of the wheel?They dont tell you on the site. Is it 28cm or smaller?
Width is 27cm
@@boostedmedia Nice! Thx
that rim is stunning bloody cheap Thrustmaster stuff just looks rubbish by the side of that :(
Very true one of the reasons I just chose fanatec and I'll tell you what I'm happy I did luckily I'm not used to thrustmaster equipment so dont have to worry about the switch over
Are the rotaries assignable in Raceroom?
Not sure. I haven’t tried raceroom
Great video. Thank you. Would you mind sharing your stream deck profile please?
It’s pretty unique to me. Has a lot of weird shortcuts and stuff but I plan on tidying it up soon. Once I’ve done that sure.
Boosted Media thank you.
Is it on the Xbox one
Know this is late, but is this the version that works on Xbox one ?
Yes but a lot of the buttons and rev lights won’t work on the Xbox one sadly. It’s still a lot of fun on the XB1 but it’s severely limited.
Do the flag lights actually work?
Yes in games that support them. Works in F1 2019
Like pela camisa do senna
Hi there I'm looking for a phone number for fanatec can anyone help thanks
Where did you get that little screen mounted on your wheel base? I like it
ruclips.net/video/T1Dz603uAV4/видео.html
The Buttons doesn't work on xbox one.
The rotations doesn't work.
Hi podium v1.1?
buddy, which is your base??? CSL Elite???
I was using a CSW2.5 here.
Nice vid🙌 can you use the wheel om ps4?
Yes but not all the features will work like they do on PC.
I see:/ thank you for the answer
Why do you hold the gear for so long?
Not used to driving the merc in GP mode + in Aus it’s faster to hold 7th than shift to 8th on the main straight.
Boosted Media how have you put those buttons on the steering wheel if in the box only came buttons with drawings and not smooth as yours
The button caps are removable.
but the buttons that come have drawings and are not smooth like the ones I have on. What I want is for them to be buttons without any drawings and only colors. Thanks
Pull the caps off.
Ehr you dont Shift in Gear 8
It's 0.3sec faster to not shift into 8th on the straight in Melbourne. Better compression braking into turn 1.
It look like Hamilton wants to be DJ after his racing career XD
This wheel something that i have been wanting for so long, but poor me can't afford one. Maybe someday.
Need to take the line and braking assist graphics off - seems to be distracting; IMO its harder to see beyond the apex to setup the approach angle with the assist graphics popping up.
I dont understand , sometimes we can see the mirrors and sometimes we cant
I’ve got “look to apex” turned on so the camera turns towards the apex slightly as I turn in.
Boosted Media were can you do that?
Under camera options.
Thankz
RIP his Gearbox
Why do you shift so late😂
To upset RUclips experts.
try to buy the Wheel..but i think they have no support team and no shop because i buy Items that are still in my Shopping Cart...think that i lost Money for nothing
I very much doubt that. Which region are you in?
Boosted Media Europe..or more specific Germany..i have a little panic because like i said i do all the steps..and the items are still in the shopping cart.
I’d give them a call to clarify what’s going on. Good luck.
Boosted Media
dont know how to call xD but allready sent a mail to the german support team (even that they might answer once) maybe when i get home from work in 60 min. i try a mail to the american support
So this morning i get an e-mail saying they get my order and would proceed..good for my budget and my nerves. dont know from with „store“ it comes but finally i can go from G27 to a better wheel (even that the prices in my order history are different then in the cart before)
I really like this channel but the Man speaks very quickly and for those who are not English, which is my case, it is very difficult.
sorry for the comment.
thanks
Lewis doesn't use cornering and braking assists.
Racing line on? Really dude?
D_W clearly didn’t hear explain why 😑
why all the sims dude wear gloves?
Protect their alcantara wheels
@@kcjive More immersion with the harness. Alcantara does feel nice, but you can screw it up easily.
The seatbelt holds your back to the seat like in a real racecar. Without it you tend to drive with your shoulders a lot more and steering is less precise.
Does arguing on the internet make you feel important?
@@kcjive stop being so salty dude.
Flipping heck For the price of one of those wheels I might as well drive a real f1 car.
2 grand rig still got racing line on smh....
Having a dig at someone who at the time of making the video had only been sim racing a few months. Smh.
Bro why do you have the line on? That's for babies man common you've got a Senna t-shirt on and Senna's helmet in the background plus it's Albert Park. Even if I don't know the track I don't put the line on. There no line when you go and do a track day...
Can you now use the switches on f1 2019 on console or pc?
