They can send out the influencer products fast as hell. But order as a customer and wait a year....

[@SHIZURAKU]

Yea that's how life has been ever since like 2018

[@OwensShadow276]

😂😂

[@slincoln2k7]

ordered my wheel on the 7th of Jan. Received it 2 weeks later

[@darkhorsedan3247]

Yeah it’s a joke, imagine waiting 3 months for the dd+, specifically to use on Gt/ps5 and they suddenly reveal this JUST after the order confirms so you can’t change or cancel it.

[@ZartaxtheWise]

​@@darkhorsedan3247Not sure where you live but within the EU you always have 14 days from delivery to cancel any online order. So if they haven't shipped you can always cancel.

[@-Jester]

Steve probably got the fastest delivery of a Fanatec product in the last six months with this one.

[@loophole3526]

He’s probably had the rim and base for over a month. The hold up on the DD+’s was Sony.

[@-Jester]

@@loophole3526 A month is still faster than how long it took me to get the shifter I ordered from them.

[@_SpamMe]

Not really interested in a product for such a price for my personal use, but interesting to see what you'd get for that money. Kudos to mentioning the issues Fanatec is having; there's too much "youtuber gets free product, hypes product mindlessly ignoring all points of criticism" out there already.

[@jonthecowboy]

Doesn’t seem like a competitive price nowadays. It seems like the new thing is getting quality DD into the hands of casual racers.

[@MrTehNoms]

Right? I was looking for a dd wheel I can use on Playstation. Seems like my only option is Logitech's dd pro wheel.

[@supercededman]

@@MrTehNoms There are three options, I think. This wheel, the G Pro, and the older DD Pro. I have both the DD Pro and G Pro. The latter kicks the DD Pro's arse, and for the price - pedals and shipping included - is great value compared to this new wheel. But this DOES look very nice. One thing I liked with the DD Pro was the dedicated buttons for BB, TCS and FM, replicated here.

[@Cactus.Scoville]

Gt dd pro bundle is a good starting point and fairly priced 800€$£ Even on Second hand

[@vsm1456]

@@MrTehNoms PXN V12 lite? a risky choice but for much less money. gotta check reviews if it's any good

[@Sideways_Singh]

Its worth every penny, its the best wheelbase available by far for any platform. Fullforce is a game changer and will make a big difference once its released. Logitech has something similar called trueforce. This wheelbase has the fastest slew rate so it responds the quickest and you get ffb the quickest, the smoothest and most detailed ffb, and it can hold its torque after hours of gameplay without any drops while other bases do have drops. Also once fullforce is here it will take this wheelbase to a new level, and it will clearly without doubt be the best.

[@allshownogo1389]

We love the wheel cam! I recommend more videos with it! It’s definitely a throwback as well to when you first started

[@KrisiDontDIe]

Really appreciating all your videos lately mate, Legend! You convinced me to finally just buy a rig and I absolutely love it, especially as I'm not currently on the road, it really fills the driving void! Paired it up with a PSVR2 and it's breathtaking, you're welcome to check out my driving 😅

[@Super_GT]

That's awesome to hear mate!

[@-ampm-]

I love how Fanatec can get promo stuff out to KZbinrs in record time but their customers wait for months to get products they paid for. This isn't a slight on KZbinrs, just on Fanatec's poor customer service.

[@anthonyscott2368]

I was going to write the same comment. No KZbinr should get gear until paying customers get their shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nothing against youtube dudes!!!

[@harrywardle4594]

I second this, not heard back in 3 months and I’ve spent near to 800 I’ll get myself a refund I think. Terrible service

[@Romulus1001]

Digit Gaming did a good review about Fanatec's parent company Endor and its business condition. They have a human resources problem and it's obvious. Not to mention how bad they are at turning around deliveries to customers or the fact that they'd take orders for the new wheel without having completed a license agreement with Sony. Just very sketchy business practices imo.

[@001sander2]

I wish they spent less on marketing and more on customer service

[@SooperPogi]

Fanatec is going to keep spending on their marketing budget but cant stick to the basics of their operation with fulfilling orders. Why keep spending on influencers to sell their product if they cant fulfill months of backorders? On top of that their customer service takes nearly 2 months to reply to their tickets? They need to fix their business first before pushing more sales

[@waaghals]

Seems like a great bit of kit, I just wish they went with a flatter, carbon GT/Race centre plate - rather than the OEM plastic styling, but that's just my preference.

[@baggszilla]

Thanks Steve! I got the DD Pro that came with the CSL Pedals and LOVE IT! Also running the load cell brake. The only things I might like from this Extreme to my Pro is the more premium feel of the wheel and paddle shifters and the bigger smoother (I guess) motor. But for that price I'm happier with my DD Pro. Cheers!

[@Rmx2011]

Nice review on a cool piece of expensive kit.

[@NeonLeon9]

Hi SuperGt, thank you for the review! Did you use your DD pro settings, stock shipped settings, or new for this package?

[@dukebluecook]

For someone who been playing with a controller since 1999 this looks so awesome. I so need a wheel setup. Come on Super GT you keep the upgrade and send out the old one.

[@TheRacingSlick]

Great review, thanks! Would you mind sharing the settings of the wheel and in game for Gran Turismo? It seems very smooth for you, but mine is shaking all over the place😅

[@zeesiiij]

Thanks Steve for the detailed review! 😅👍I still am looking to get into wheels for GT7, but I think the price with no pedals is ridiculous for this Fanatec. Also wish they can do a firnware update to get as you said better info like shift lights, speed (mph) and gears at the sametime on that little screen. Overall, Good video matey! 🤣🤘

[@dirtyminerapparel]

I’ll be impressed when they finally start making full size wheels a standard because mostly adults who drive cars with a full size wheel buy them and kids don’t usually build sim racing units. Knowing your market is key and they don’t seem to understand it yet and neither do any other sim accessory companies.

[@loytowse8140]

With me just forking out the money for the DD Pro I’ll be waiting for a few years before I spend the extra money. Thanks for the review Super GT! 👍

so basically if you race on console, buy this cuz it's kind of your only out of the box solution. thanks for the review. some things i would have liked to see: a comparison regarding ffb settings to another fanatec wheel. what validates the upgrade? will you be switching to this now? a slo mo of that instruction toss. good work man. keep it up

I just got my gt7 DD extreme going to have to order the pedals now but I like the option of being able to pick whatever pedals I want and not just being stuck with the pedals that are compatible.. I've only ever used thrustmaster wheels so I am extremely impressed with this fanatec wheel it's very heavy and built with quality very happy with it..This wheel plus my new GTR pro sim cockpit and my vr2 headset will help me to reach the next level.. Control is everything in Sim raising so I'm glad that's the one thing you were really noticing is the level of control you have with the wheel.. Very nice...Top Vid..🙏💯

[@benedictaustin9912]

Great video, I'm on the same setup as you with same pedals (inverted) - what setup have you used on the steering wheel in terms of FFB and all the other options? Would you mind sharing?

That fuel map adjustment looks so convenient, and will surely make a difference over the course of a race.

[@bobbymcgee1823]

I have the PS Podium.. Steve is this an upgrade to that in feel.. I am in process of changing over to a qr2 for it

[@JazzySaturdays]

I really love the camera view for the wheel itself. It helps seeing how much rotation you're putting your car under during certain corners, especially for someone like me who's trying to improve his lap times and cornering technique. If possible would you be willing to show this view during qualifying and time trial videos? Great video all in all.

Hi Steve. When you were using your DD X wheelbase, did you notice the wheelbase vibrating if you overdrive the tires? I'm getting that after updating the firmware. Is there a chance this is intentional and I should use it as a guide when I put the tires at their limit? Thanks!

[@dennisa7784]

I ordered on black Friday and received wheel and 2 QRs in about 2 weeks

[@Jed0991]

Im curious if you will/would keep this on the rig. Or switch back to the dd1.

[@extra-dry]

Would you recommend this over the Logitech Pro? It appears that "True Firce" is similar to "Full force". I currently have Club sport V3 pedals so the $1300 price is about equal to what I would have to pay for the complete Logitech system. It seemsthe Fanatec eco system is much more robust than Logitech, since they have had the last year to add wheels, and haven't.

[@RickBeacham]

Do you use the V3 pedals for all the streaming you do or just for the Fanatec review? Do you play ACC on Playstation 5 or just on PC?

[@Super_GT]

I've used those Pedals for about 4 years for everything.

[@Abrelosojos89]

Do you think itm will be compatibile with gt7 in the future? Also Botton Module Endurance or not?

[@user-nq2xq8zc6f]

Hi nice vid! is it in my mind or does up/ downshifting with the DD extreme makes a lot of clicking noise? also all other buttons. at the moment i own a T248 and its loud!

Any clipping? Also, the QR2 lite limits the max torque to 8NM, does not make sense

[@rzt430]

how is drifting on it? particularly the oscillation? it's quite bad with the CSL DD so i am curious

Do you talk about the possibilities of buying it separately or something like that, if it’s worth it instead of the old GT Pro?

[@SeadooDerek]

Steve - you should play a few races on a controller to showcase how much better a wheel is. That would be a cool comparison!

I wish they would do an upgrade to the Mclaren GT3 wheel or finally give us that Bentley rim that keeps showing up but is never released. That one looks good though for GT7 especially as its designed specifically for the game. I presume they have the licence now then for the DD+ if you're using it?

Yeah they’re shipping now. I believe it was the licensing that was the hold up for the DD+’s.

[@angestify]

Will you use the extreme one or your old DD1?

[@leastresistance1062]

Well, pretty safe to say that I want one. But I play in VR, so I can't see it. Can't see the screen, can't see the buttons. But the major switches look like they're in the same pace as the DD Pro wheel, so I should be fine. I think Steve mentioned the smoothness and the precision, this sounds good to me, diaregarding the screen and so on. But the big rim (and smoothness and precision) is what I'm after. Sounds awesome. I will have to wait and hope that it becomes considerably cheaper though 😬

[@SPAZO75]

Hey, Can you compare the DD+ wheel base with the DD1 wheel base for PS5? I’m thinking of getting the DD+ but dont want to make the mistake of selling my DD1 to get the DD+. Thank you.

[@stevecleaver8933]

Yet another great video Steve. Interesting to hear your thoughts on the GT DD Extreme. As a follow up to your comments about Fanatec & their delivery issues : I was going to order the GT DD Pro in October 2023, then Fanatec told me that the DD & DD+ were coming so I held off in the hopes of getting a "more premium setup". I ended up ordering the DD+, the Podium Porsche Wheel (with the endurance button set & the paddle shifter set & thanks to the Black Friday sale ended up getting the V3 pedals with the Tuning kit & Damper kit for just €300. I received an email today to say it's on it's way & then hear about the GT DD Extreme ..... Talk about P***ED OFF. The GT DD Extreme (apart from not having the pedals) is EXACTLY what I wanted in the first place. Instead of which, I've now got (or will have soon) the DD+ (perfect), the V3 pedals (perfect) but the Podium Porsche wheel instead of the GT wheel. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[@Eispfogel]

It would be so nice, if the display would only show current gear like in Dirt Rally. I don't want to see how fast i am, but i want to see the gear im in at all times. The RPM Meter isn't colored yet...oh well! I hope tthis comes in the next few updates and then we can get wild with fanalab ^^

As for FullForce is a "subwoofer" that makes vibrations so you can feel when going out of track or over a curb or any other vibrations on the tyres, the thing is, this isn't implemented in this wheel, TrueForce is the same thing in the Logitech PRO and there it actually works, similar technology is available in ThrustMaster TRS300 and Logitech belt driven G923.
