Is The New Gran Turismo DD Pro Wheel Actually Good?

[@Super_GT]

Thanks for watching this one guys, here's some other things I didn't mention in the video which may be of interest: - It comes with a desk/table mount but also T-Slots for mounting on a sim rig. - The pedals it comes with are the two CSL pedals (without load cell). I couldn't mount this onto my Sim Lab rig so I didn't test them. I do have a review on those pedals here (albeit the older version): kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX7Pf4KdprGWn9k - I didn't try the rim on the DD1 wheelbase so not sure about how that would perform. - Prices are all on the website and I've heard from commenters here that delivery is sometimes not available to some places. - My personal recommendation (finances withstanding) is to buy an alternative rim (McLaren GT3) and the load cell pedal. The pedal should be the first upgrade if any though. - Yes, the camera was in 0.1fps again. The camera is fine, I just connected it to the wrong USB port like a total noob. Please ask any more questions in the comments if you have them.

I've been using a G29 for years and a G27 prior to that. I pre-ordered the GT DD Pro Premium bundle with the power boost / brake peddle upgrade and I added their shifter. Absolutely can't wait, I've been wanting to upgrade to a DD setup for a long time but $1,800 for the podium base and F1 rim that is compatible with PC/PS is just out of my price range. I'd like to get a McLaren GT3 wheel sometime but as far as usability goes for PC and PS, that GT rim looks very solid. Thanks for showcasing it a bit, just wish you had used the pedals.

[@yautjayarrington1732]

Me too but ive only been using a G923 wheel for about 6 months. I nearly went for the upgraded kit but i am in Australia so i thought i would start off with the start up set up just until i know exactly how things work.

[@SimRaceFly80]

I have been using the G29 for 3 years. I bought the 8nm bundle with the basic pedals and sell the pedal since I bought V3 pedals a few months ago and love them when using with PC. I just can't use the pedals on PS5 yet until I get the Fanatec wheel base since you can't mix and match with the G29 unless you use drive hub which I didn't feel like investing in since I was just waiting for this wheel base. I can't wait until March. I am probably gonna get the McLaren or F1 wheel as well.

[@kylerobinson6102]

Would you get this bundle instead of the Sparco Thrustmaster TS XW? Get back at me mate!

[@Kodiak8788]

@@kylerobinson6102 Hey man! Yea, for my specific situation and preference, I have been wanting a direct drive wheel and a set of pedals with a QUALITY load cell brake for long time. But I also needed the entire setup to be compatible with PC & PlayStation without being over $1,500 USD. The only pitfall to the Trustmaster for me is that it is not direct drive, it uses a dual pulley system so I don't see it being a worthwhile upgrade from my Logitech G29. I've looked at Thrustmaster and Fanatec extensively over the years and the reviewers I trust typically put Fanatec on a whole other level. I really like the PS wheel included with this Fanatec GT DD Pro bundle also as it incorporates elements directly from Gran Turismo and it's more of a normal style wheel. I typically play Gran Turismo on PS and ACC on PC for racing but I also play American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator so I don't prefer to ONLY have a full blown racing style wheel. However, Fanatec offers additional high quality quick release wheels which is another reason why I chose them and now I am looking at buying the Fanatec McLaren GT3 wheel. Also, Fanatec software tuning looks quite nice! hope this helps! Cheers!!

Received my CSL DD (PC + Xbox Version) by the beginning of November. Personally, I think the Design of the GT DD fits the aesthetics of Gran Turismo as it was designed by Polyphony Digital, but I the rim that comes with the bundle looks rather cheap and plasticky. I am using my CSL DD with the McLaren GT3 wheel for AC and with the CSL Elite WRC wheel for Dirt Rally 2.0. It is an amazing upgrade to anything beltdriven and brings the experience way closer to Driving an actual car. If one can afford it, I would recommend either version of the Fanatec DD wheel for any sim racing fan 👍

@@PITAH1 I did, w the load cell, and booster kit. The wheel base has blown me away, the csl load cell brake took a lot of getting used to, since it doesn't really travel.

​@@rockydmiseComing in super late, but can you shed more light on why you would not recommend a csl universal hub wheel?

[@rockydmise]

@@XuandePD being a PlayStation user, I don't like the layout of the buttons on the CSL Hub. The "X" button is a press, on the Funky Switch which moves up/down/left/right and turns. So if you don't hit it dead on in a menu its easy to select something unintended. I also play in VR, so the wacky button layout becomes even more troublesome. For Instance top left corner of the left side is L2, ok fine, but top right corner of the right side is circle.

Just got the GT dd pro and new v2 pedals. Upgraded from the old v2 pedals and a csl elite. Only had it a day or two , only managed a couple of hours, not quite used to it yet but could immediately feel a better sense of where the limit of grip was. Felt I could push the car more as I had more information from the wheel. Took me a couple of laps and I was within a few tenths of my pb times in time trial. Can tell it’s far more detailed, just need to get used to it to get back up to pace. This is my third wheel and similarly when upgrading from my g29 to csl elite it didn’t immediately make my pace better but drastically improved my consistency. Which in racing is almost as important as pace itself.

[@sntslilhlpr6601]

The advantage of a loadcell pedal is that it determines brake application via the amount of force you put on the pedal, just like a real car's hydraulic brakes work. This is better than the cheaper kind which uses the position of the pedal via a potentiometer (variable resistor) to determine how much you want to brake. My current pedal has a rubber grommet that the pedal squishes and somewhat replicates how a real brake feels, but it is nowhere near as consistent as a loadcell pedal.

Hey Steve, Just getting into sim racing, if your not going to use the Fanatec GT DD Pro feel free to send it my way! Love your videos, hopefully see you in a race somewhere!

[@DarkSwordsman]

That's cool what they did with the buttons. Glad to see it was more than just some software compatibility and actual, beneficial features. But it's still stupid to me that they charge $150 for a, probably, $5 power supply to unlock the extra force. Seems like a predatory move. Also the "preorder" fee, as in paying more to get it earlier, seems really strange to me. What is the extra cost to ship it early that it is an extra $150?

[@kraenk12]

The shipping costs are actually understandable. Air freight is crazy expensive right now. The power adapter cost…less.

[@stevelucero7922]

Great review imo. What cockpit would you recommend? I was considering the NextLevel GT Track cockpit. Thoughts/Feedback? Anyone? Thank you!

[@CaliCuh]

I have not feedbad when playing gt sport with my dd pro . It works perfectly fine in iracing . For some reason it’s just smooth in gt sport no rumble at all .

[@skvltdmedia]

Good to hear. Quickness of FF is the linchpin to all this sim racing since correcting mistakes on a wheel takes 10 years compared to a controller analog. Funny and sadly enough, an old IRL cars can still be had for the price of these wheels.

[@zwenkwiel816]

yeah and then you need to insure it, maintain it and fill it up with gas. also what car you buying for 700 bucks?!

[@pudjeknyper]

Steve my man the camera does not reflect the content but damn you got the Forza Motorsport 6 in the descpription on a GT Sport video.

[@kennethknudsen9892]

What settings are you running in your dd1 wheel base for gt sport?

[@MrRinkly]

My wheel is the CSL Elite with PS + Xbox. Can i use my PS wheel on the DD pro, manly because prefer a 300mm round wheel. Just a thought.

[@Team-Fraser]

Another good review but can you go into more detail about the pedal mounting to a profile rig please? All the reviews I've watched keep skipping over that which is an important part. This is going to be my first wheel and will be getting my first rig, I was planning on the Sim Lab GT1 Evo. However, it would be good to know if the pedal mounting options are better on the Trak Racer TR80? Thanks

[@AtotehZ]

If I'm going to be racing with a wheel it'll be one with direct drive. I have a Logitech G29, which is one of the recommended entry wheel without direct drive... but I hate it. I absolutely hate it. Having a deadzone in the center feels so wrong and it disturbs me enough to take me out of the immersion and drive worse. You can do different things to reduce the deadzone, but mechanically it's simply not up to the task.

[@Moorag81]

The pedals on my G29 have developed a habit of applying the breaks randomly. It’s the most frustrating thing as it can ruin a race. I just upgraded to the DD pro but it broke immediately and Fanatec customer service is terrible. Currently sat looking at the box waiting for Fanatec to email me back

[@Benjamas-]

Mine should turn up the day before GT7 releases, I will grab some V3 pedals when I have a chance and a boost kit along with the gt3 rim

[@mattyadams6402]

I replaced my thrustmaster tx for a fanatec csl dd but i have to wait till January 3rd to get mine. The days couldnt go any slower

[@dawidnitecki9143]

Hi, may I ask you what FF torque and sensitivity settings are you using in GTS ?

[@BrooklynPlaya]

what about the Thrustmaster T-GT II ? How is it compared to the DD Pro ? Both are official licenced GT Wheels. both are in the 700-1000 dollar range

[@91lifetime23]

Hello, what exactly does the booster 180 kit does? Is it to feel more realistic? How does it work?

[@zwenkwiel816]

it's basically just a different power supply to make the wheel more powerful, it allows the CSL DD to use it's full potential of 8 Nm of torque without the booster kit it has 5 Nm.

[@jonm2522]

Mate your very good, I wish I could rac like this, I just bought my first wheel G29, I don't have the reflexes like you do but I have always loved GT. Is I was thinking of the Fanatec but perhap in a few months so I can get used to racing with a wheel. The G29 is good but frustrating the wheel is so small, it's annoying. What are your thoughts and recomendations.

[@ritagaffey6512]

Hi, I purchased a ps5 and an open wheel Gen3 wheel stand and cockpit (seat), for my hubby, Christmas. Looking at this DD pro express to round it out. Hubby is 69, loves racing Grand Turismo games. Has a cheap Logitech, not a G29, something older. I also ordered the F1 2021, was considering Project 2 or 3 and assetto corsa. Not sure if this wheel works with F1 2021 or the other two. Loved your video, made it look simple to set up, he will love it. I’m babbling in print, Lolol. My question was regarding the other racing games mentioned above, does the wheel work with these or do I have to get him another to switch with, if so recommendation?

[@magz4074]

When I was 14 I bought myself a Fanatec CSR with the shifters and the CSR elite pedals. Loved that wheel. It was my first experience with a racing wheel aside from a dinosaur wheel my dad had on pc when I was like 5. I sold my wheel stupidly when I was 17 because I didn't have somewhere to play it/was too lazy to build myself a rig. Last year I decided to get back into racing and bought myself a thrustmaster t150 pro setup. I thought the savings would be worth it, they're not. If you're getting thrustmaster, go higher in their range if you're serious about the hobby. The t150 is extremely plasticky and quite flimsy. I can't wait to get my graphics card finally so I can get into pc racing. I have my eyes on the CSL DD Pro.... once you go fanatec, other brands feel inferior.... 😅

[@adamalmqvist1789]

Okay, the thing is. Im totally buying this. The thing is I need also a sim rig. What cheap but okay chair/setup that is quite easy to remove is worth it? Im looking to have a total of 1000€ give or take. So the bulk is in GT DD (not booster). Any tips?

[@rushyzzz]

Just ordered my GT DD Pro Premium bundle looking to upgrade from my Playseat evo to a better rig due to flex & new set up being DD any recommendations ? TR80 ?

[@FedericoFilaVaudana]

Great review. You are really good. Does this bundle works with pc?

[@yayeettt]

hey steve if u could choose between podium dd1 and buy a cockpit seat later or buy dd pro and buy the rest in one go wich would choose then ?(i am how ever a total noob in driving games LOL)

[@jamesmoore7858]

So hey. I'm one of the guys that mistakingly bought into the thrustmaster ecosystem and my next upgrade will likely be this set up but with the v3 pedals. My question is, do the rumble packs on the pedals work on say an Xbox, and do they really make a difference? I've always thought I needed some kind of feedback in the pedals, and I'm hoping this works.

[@japsniper1980]

Nice new kit. You do know you need to do another whole new setup video now.

[@fionamacdowall2595]

I like how you’re trying to make some stop motion videos

[@Rob-eg8qc]

Need some advice. I am buying my son one of those VRX imotion simulators for Christmas. Would he be able to setup his Ps5 and race on Gran turismo gt. I don't want to spend that amount of money if its not compatible with the ps5 and xbox series X thank you.

[@harrypottar-1]

SuperGT, I know you’re into sim racing. However do you know if the fanatic DD pro works with Snowrunner on the PS5? Wanted to order it for GT7, but would be great to know if snowrunner is support for those slower times in life.
