IT'S BACK and IMPROVED! - Fanatec McLaren GT3 V2 wheel

[@MattsPaddock]

Forgot to mention, although it's shown in the video, those 12-position switch dials can now rotate endlessly in any direction (they use new encoders), like the ones on their Formula V2 wheel, and overall the electronics are completely revised! 🙂 Check out this new Fanatac adapter hub - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKG6gHhul86Njq8 CSL Elite base from the video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooLJiX2matSNp5o F-GT Lite rig which I used - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnvNeXttgNBofbs

Warning! Within 4 months of light use my FANATEC McLaren wheel cracked at the shifter pivot point and where it mounted to the QR. I was accused of over tightening although I used a torque wrench set at 3nm. FANATEC then replaced the wheel chassis admitting in writing it was a weakness in the wheel. Very soon after my CSL load cell pedal failed. I sent a video before sending the pedal set back as requested. I was required to make a follow up email after not hearing back. FANATEC said they can not fault the pedals asking if I want then sent back which I found a strange thing to ask? Eventually they were returned however within minutes I experienced the same issue which was consistent with magnetic interference from the CSL DD wheel base before the load cell pedal would completely shut down. I was beyond my limits at this point and driven to warn as many potential customers as I could while demanding a replacement. Following the usual delayed response, FANATEC then offered a replacement only if a show proof that they faulty load cell was again on its way back to them. FANATEC’s poor response time drove me to desperation. Keep in mind I have owned this new product for around 6 months when 2 major failures occurred. An electric technician overheard my experience and offered assistance. I was able to demonstrate the issue and within minutes the technician diagnosed a defective voltage regulator attached to the load cell circuit board. The voltage regulator is designed to reduce 5 volts coming from the wheel base or USB down to the required 3.3volts. There was no signal out of the regulator which he replaced. No thanks to FANATEC I am now enjoying my sim racing again while I hold my breath for the next FANATEC failure. Please take my advise and look at the FANATEC’s own forum in regards to all the issues they have and their terrible customer service.

god i wish i had one of these, i’ve been saving for a couple of years to get a decent wheel but stuck with no forcefeedback, shit sucks for acc

[@thexman75]

where are the classic Xbox buttons VIEW and MENU...?

[@lazybozogamer1235]

Wonder if it's better build quality. I have spent hours on the V1 and build quality was not very good! Also Fanatec are well know for rotary switches do break so be warned🙂 otherwise I cant wait to see if I will want one in the near future

[@MattsPaddock]

Time will tell as I haven't tried the V1, but I'm using this one daily!

[@stewrtcullom7924]

I’ve been doing some checking on v2.5 with it not being compatible with PlayStation4 Please let me know if I am wrong because I really wanted the club sport V2.5

[@askeeter84]

I haven’t used it but people mention using drive hub to use the v2.5 on PlayStation

[@stewrtcullom7924]

@@askeeter84 If I wouldn’t already had bought the PlayStation I would’ve bought the club sport v2.5

[@ikergimeno8009]

All the buttons are usable in Xbox?

[@ji3200]

Hellow, do you think forcefeedback is more noticeable than regular round shape wheel or does it give less forcefeedback because of made of plastic?

[@jamesmcmillan4140]

Do the led lights work on xbox? Both the inbuilt display and the ones on the base

[@ralphlouren6332]

¿only for xbox?

[@MattsPaddock]

PlayStation too if the wheel base itself supports PS4 / PS5!

[@renelammers813]

also works on PC along with what TekTick said

[@brettst01]

No they did not release it yet. But sure they will get around to it at their own convenience. Don't want to combine a product release and availability at the same time? It is 2020 after all where technical stuff is released without being available.

[@MattsPaddock]

It's actually available on their website right away, you can find under wheels under the links in the description box!
