Fanatec BMW M3 GT2 Wheel | Quick Review

[@abehaile2659]

I just received the new version (V2) with magnetic paddles and 30% reduced weight. Even this V2 feels very heavy

[@XJSimulations]

Sweet. I really want to upgrade to the magnetic paddles #soon

[@ronancasey3324]

Best review yet! Thanks heaps :)

[@hjoore]

Great review! I have just ordered this wheel and was looking for some recent reviews, thanks!

[@XJSimulations]

You will love it! Happy Racing!

[@Vivaanchopra26]

Nice review new sub

[@XJSimulations]

Thanks for the sub!

[@ramirezjuan0715]

Very well done! Thank you for the review. Where did you find the button replacements?

[@XJSimulations]

Thanks for watching! You can order the replacements from Fanatec. I wish they would just include them instead of nickel and diming the customer to death.

[@Peenoy_blackbimmer]

Good review...plan to buy that for my GT DD pro for PS5...i dont see yet any review using for PS5?...can you able to do that?...i appreciate it in advance..Thanks

[@XJSimulations]

I own the CSL DD, but I think it is basically the same platform. It is an absolutely great wheel base. The FFB is responsive and provides all the right feedback.

[@dominickescobedo7777]

Do you need a podium hub for use on the DD1 orr DD2?

[@XJSimulations]

No you do not, but check the wheel you purchase for compatibility.

[@NCLme]

Hey XJ is this comparable with the Thrustmaster t300 rs I love so much

[@XJSimulations]

Hey! This wheel is heavy and awesome. I use it for all oval and rally racing. Plenty of programable buttons too. I highly recommend this wheel. It is larger than the T300 in diameter.

[@dps123dps]

Thanks XJ, got my wheel yesterday and all set up. I do find the Fanatec guide confusing for calibration. Any chance you could do a detailed calibration plus what options on the LED mean. For example mine came up with 50 on the red LED, I believe its something to do with brake input.

[@XJSimulations]

Thanks for the suggestion regarding this topic. I will certainly give it a look. Are you using the Fanalabs (beta) software? See the link below: forum.fanatec.com/discussion/21997/fanalab-1-54-2-download-post-your-feedback-here?FAP+Banner&Huureenstuur&General+Links&a_aid=Huureenstuur

[@dps123dps]

@@XJSimulations Thanks yes I have. So the fanalab software overwrite the options on the wheel? Told you I was confused!

[@dps123dps]

just found a bit more about how to progress through the wheel options. Your video was helpful though thanks.

[@dps123dps]

@@XJSimulations Just saw your comment, thanks. Use Fanalabs 1.53 which i think is the latest version. I’m more or less there with basic FFB but I’d appreciate some info regarding the vibration section on the FanaLab software especially the pedals. It’s a great bit of kit and can see why people rave about upgrading from gear to belt drive.

[@MatthewWieler]

Does it come w the quick release

[@XJSimulations]

Yes, this wheel has a proper quick release

[@Matiz69]

hi, Im not sure if I see good but you have stickers on that wheel, are they included in package?

[@XJSimulations]

Some stickers are included with the wheel, but the colored caps and some of those stickers are from the additional set available at Fanatec. I believe it was $29 USD. It seems Fanatec loves to get as much money from the consumer as possible.

[@Matiz69]

@@XJSimulations yea, with McLaren GT3 wheel for 200€ you get button set and with Clubsport for 300€ you get nothing :D I already ordered so Im looking forward for this Wheel. At least you can use that buttons and sticker set for at least 2 or more wheels when u get white and black letters, right?

[@somenygaard]

Does the joystick on the left allow for mouse control? Also what did you mean by no force feedback in the wheel? Are you referring to vibration motors in the wheel rim? Thanks.

[@XJSimulations]

Yes, you can use it for mouse control (left stick). The wheel does have FFB built into it. So it provides additional FFB that can be adjusted with Fanalabs software.

[@antonio8501]

Is it compatible with Xbox because i have the base for app Xbox one and ps

[@XJSimulations]

It should be if the base works with the console.

[@F92M8]

Did you try it?

[@luissandoval1515]

Is this wheel compatible with the DD2?

[@XJSimulations]

Check the Fanatec site to confirm, but I believe it is! Thanks for watching.

[@Bobbarker23455]

Yes it is

[@luissandoval1515]

Does this work with Xbox?

[@XJSimulations]

Yes the wheel will work with Xbox functionality.

[@F92M8]

@@XJSimulations on their website it says no. Have things changed since then?
