5:52 what you explain here for the base can also be done for the display of the BME which is one of THE key-features of this entire wheel! Button combo is again pressing and holding the tuning menu button and then turning the funky switch instead of pressing it left and right.

I really dig this video, such great content! Keep it up!

[@meridacavediver]

Thank you, finally I get some insight into the buttons lol. Can you do an in depth video on how to really set this wheel up for Asseto?

[@scoobysnacks209]

man i lovethe fanatec ecosystem

[@scruggsrox]

Dude, this wheel is Sick! =D

[@badme9684]

Assetto Corsa sunly got blur how to fix in VR Oculus rift s? Please help me with this one thank you good video thumbs up,

[@jeremymartinez6024]

How do you feel about the wheel, particularly the suede material, 2 years on?

[@e.r.6147]

Good video

[@yungdadi]

The Podium button box deserves a dedicated video to its functions especially in a race

[@Simracingpaddock]

Planning on it ;D

[@yungdadi]

@@Simracingpaddock I look forward to it

[@TheHappyChappas]

Will you be making a 2021 racing wheel buyers guide?

[@LezaRacing]

Unfortunately he passed away recently...

[@willekewk]

Doe sit work on PS?

[@Arik435]

Thank you for the review! But you didn't mention if you playing on a console or on a pc ?

[@Simracingpaddock]

This was on PC, I thought it would have been rather obvious with the PC User interface, but sorry for not clarifying!

[@Arik435]

​@@Simracingpaddock Thanks for clarifying. At least for me, it's not obvious. Why someone would overpay for the DD1 wheelbase with PS4/5 capabilities and won't be using them?

[@biffisgreat]

I wish thrustmaster made nice rims, I love my ts-pc, but something about the Ferrari alcantara(?) Rim seems kinda toyish to me,

[@roorfetish]

I use Fanatec too but the only thing which looks toyish on the Ferrari Alcantara for Thrustmaster is the Ferrari Logo itself.. and you should have a look for custom rim works for Thrustmaster.. for about 600 Bucks like this Podium Rim in the Video you get amazing custom works.. believe me have a look for example: cubecontrols.com/product/gt-pro-omp-classic/ www.3drap.it/thru-mods/ acelith.com/collections/mods/products/mod-gt-style-rim-for-thrustmaster-t-gt

[@biffisgreat]

@@roorfetish dude those are so nice, thanks

[@matjazvukan1066]

Can this wheel work with csl elite?

[@matjazvukan1066]

clubsport?

[@TecraTube]

Threading the needle? You're serious 🤣 Apparently you missed the driver's meeting. A race isn't won in the first corner but many have been lost there

[@FRFM00]

Cool, just saw this come up! Can't wait to join the community. Which is fanatecs biggest rim??? I thought this was close to match

[@Simracingpaddock]

What do you mean by "Biggest"? In terms of Diameter, I believe the NASCAR rim is 350mm. In terms of features, this is definitely top tier

[@FRFM00]

@@Simracingpaddock thank you for answering. I was planning on getting this wheel thinking it was true to size. But you have stated the rim is a bit smaller. I was surprised. I've been training at a virtual race academy/training center and I have been more comfortable with the larger/road car rim to scale wheels but I felt strange with the "small" formula wheels(thinking I would be god w a formula style wheel). Ts PC and fanatec. I was shocked, because I have been obsessed w single seater since young. But since I also have a soft spot for road cars, I thought this wheel would be perfect half formula half road car rim, and i've caught the Porsche love the last year or so. I should have rephrased, apologies. I'm wondering which wheel rimthey offer for road racing and single... Is close to real life size steering wheels. Leaving the Nascar type wheels out of the options. I hope I make sense. You are a great voice for this hobby. No fake no ego. Thanks I used to be a top racer before PS4/PC world got crazy and j grew up. Now I'm 34 and ready to see if I can compete at a high level! Thanks!!

[@Steve30x]

For that price it would better be the best wheel ever

[@momorious]

You have attached the APM paddles wrong, the upper golden paddles are mounted from the back just like the clutch paddles to give you space between shift paddle and upper extra paddle. To further enhance this effect you could also use the included spacers, but for sure you dont want them both on the same height because you cant really distinguish them anymore and the upper one gets very hard to reach.

[@Simracingpaddock]

Thanks for the heads up! I'll fix it when I get back home :D
