I have decided to take the risk (with the delivery issues of Fanatec) their website said the products are in stock and ships between (4 - 7 Days)
on 25/06/2024 I purchased CSL DD + wheel and pedals from their website (at night)
on 26/06/2024 my order was marked as being processed
on 28/06/2024, my order was scanned by UPS in Hamburg, waiting for customs examination.
and it is estimated to be delivered on 03/07/2024 to my address in the UK
I would say it is pretty good and it has exceeded my expectations. It looks like they have sorted out their warehouse/operational issues...
I think the community should know that, and it's worth doing a positive video about it. After all the bad publicity they had, I am sure it will be a hit video.
Wow! If the trend continues and more people experience the same, I’d be glad to eat my own words and make a quick update video :)
Honestly, I’m so glad that Fanatec has been able to somewhat keep themselves alive, and hopefully this is the start of their bounce back for all our sakes 🤞🏻
I'm also waiting on delivery and so far it's all gone smooth , good communication from Fanatec and UPS - it's now left Germany and on the way to the UK due for delivery on the 6th . Just hope it all works! :)
Yeahh, on the fence to buy a new wheel for my CSL DD. Just uncertainty on how Fanatec is now coming onto a clear path from the current mess is keeping me from actually buying. Don't want to hand over my hard earned cash and be in jeopardy of having anything delivered from them.
Very true! - I hope it Changes for all of our sakes… , For now when people ask me ( on TikTok ) what they should buy, I can’t recommend Fanatec as much as I would love to… :/
I have had zerro isues but i think fanatec shud get on top of these Q.C. isues and they might have already but cant tell for sure
Hopefully they have! :P
I have had mine a year and it's spot on lol 😂 I actually look after it
Fanatec should stop selling the QR1 with this wheelbase. Once I made the switch to the QR2, all trepidations about the quick release went away. The QR2 is rock solid! Too bad the new QR causes a markup on all of their steering wheels. An attractive price like the Clubsport F1 E-Sports' $220.00 price becomes a souring $320.00. A steering wheel I really want, the Clubsport RS ($300.00) is now a $400.00 purchase. Sorry but I don't think the RS is a $400.00 wheel even with the QR2. They are not doing themselves any favors with the QR2 tax. Oh well...
And if you do get a CSL-DD or a GTDD Pro, do yourself a favor and get a torque wrench. Torque the bolt on the collar down to spec and you'll never have the wheel unplug on you while racing. Also you should install it on to a sturdy wheel stand at the very least, and leave it there until you either sell it or upgrade to a cockpit. When I got my CSL DD I put it on my GT Omega Apex wheel stand, and not once did I remove it from the stand. I also didn't have to remove the RJ12 cable to my pedals since I initially installed them. No jack problems for me, and I frequently fold the stand and put it away when I am not racing. What I am saying is, a fairly permanent installation will mitigate 99% of the RJ jack issues.
QR2 prices are ridiculous… I wish they’d make it so that you can pay for either one at checkout ( QR1 or QR2… )
PS: Super helpful tips so I’ll pin you :) Ty for commenting and helping out the community! :D
( PPS…. Turns out I need to wait a few months to gain access to those features so when I get a chance to I will 🫡😬 )
Wtf do u guys do to your wheel bases. Mine has been fine
Glad to hear! - The port issue is most likely because of people tugging the cables and cable managing them too tight, causing strain on the weakly soldered ports and causing them to come out.
As for the collar, it happens because of the vibrations the wheelbase sends through the shaft, and since it is only secured on one side, it loosens and wiggles it's way out.
Hope this helps, and I'm hapy to hear you aren't having isues like the rest of us!
i been treating mine like a baby. but the ports on the back are madd weak, i feel it everytime i unplug the cables lol. im scared that my days may be numbered lmfao
and the video was nteresting and usefull:)
Thanks! Glad you like it :)
2 years in. 3800IR on ovals and still going strong
My man! 🫡
finally :)
Finally indeed ;)
I suppose that makes my DD Pro set up quite valuable then. Time to flog me thinks.
Butbis this the DD or DD pro ?
This is the GT-DD ( PlayStation compatible CSL DD - The actual hardware is identical, only difference being the outer casing/design, and the PlayStation compatibility :)
ouch.... that damage looks nasty in the intro
😬 - and that’s only half of the images I had saved 🫡
I almost regretted buying into the Moza eco-system instead of Fanatec. Almost. Lol
Tried a Moza R9 with the KS rim the other day - It’s so good… Hope you are enjoying your MOZA gear! :)
@Sim_Pulse so far, it's been a fantastic buy. Just sold my R5 bundle and I'm now waiting on my R9 to get here on Wednesday. I hope Fanatec survives this and comes back stronger. They really have been at the forefront of affordable DDs and a fantastic ecosystem.
With a company like Asetek there's zero chance that I'd ever buy a Fanatec. Just listening to the CEO's can tell you which company is better to buy from.
Fanatec is slowly restructuring… hopefully it all works and it’ll all be better than before! 🤞🏻 ( for fanatec buyer’s sake )
Nothing wrong with mine!
Damm I just ordered myn too
Hopefully it all arrives in one piece! - if you don’t get a tracking number within 2/3 weeks, I’d try contacting your bank and refunding the charge 🫡 Good luck soldier
@@Sim_Pulse actually coming in tomorrow, but hopfully it last long then my tx servo. i might quit if my thrustmaster outlast the csl dd
@@TechkNEiK 😭 - I assure you, just don’t put too much strain on the ports and tighten the collar and you’ll be fine :) - Hope you enjoy yours as much as I did!
How? It's shown as out of stock on their website for the past few days
The only issuebi have with Fanatec is that stupid collusion with sony or PD on having to buy a pro inorder to be compatible with PS5 for GT7 -_-
Keep the chips in the actual steering wheel not the base.
Their full force hasnt been even implemented in GT7 or any other PS games... whats the point? Wheres the value?
I do have to admit that the actual monetary value of the GT-DD and all PlayStation compatible Fanatec bases aren’t the best.
I think that the chips being in the base make it better for compatibility, as you can use all wheelrims ( new and even old ) with the wheelbase. Same with if you want to use a third party wheelrim ( drift wheelrim or karting wheelrim, etc. ) using an SRM emulator on console, you don’t need to have a fanatec wheelrim to do that :D
@Sim_Pulse I have CM drive hub and a GT SW and the MDF's sticks are inop but can be mapped into other games, unfortunately not in GT7.
Even (especially) second-hand, don't count on me to buy ....
Entirely valid! It’s a great wheelbase, though haunted by it’s issues :(
Typical , you make this video a few days after I order! My life in a nutshell 🤣
🫡😭 - You’ll love yours, just hope you don’t get any problems with it! 🤞🏻
@@Sim_Pulse
I honestly can't believe this channel only has 28 subscribers. I feel like with the quality of the content it should have 40,000! So, s u b s c r i b e
Thank you so much
i was planning to buy csl dd shit
i think i need to add more money and buy simagic alpha mini
You can always go MOZA - it’s so good, especially for it’s price!
@@Sim_Pulse IM NOT A FAN OF MOZA THATS WHY IM NOT LOOKING INTO IT
That’s fair :) - Cammus and like you previously mentioned Simagic both have fantastic options for the midrange sim market! Alpha mini is defo a good choice atm.
@@Sim_Pulse YEAH BRO IM DEF BUYING IT
i have mp problems, what a noob
Okay buddy 😬
bro, wake up!!!
SimPulse just uploaded!!!!!!
You already know it 😮💨
