So, Fanatec GT DD pro arrived this morning, along with the load cell kit and a clubsport shifter.
Played it for a couple of hours and am knackered, for two reasons. Firstly, even with the 5nm PSU, it’s significantly more force feedback than the G29, but blissfully silent. Very happy with that. (The 8nm would take some getting used to, the 15nm options must be insane!) Another thing I’m happy with is the shifter, smashing through the sequential gears at full pelt is ace. All feels very solid too.
What I’m disappointed with is the Load Cell brake. It comes with one elastomer that, to get full travel, needs 90kg+ of force putting through it. Fine if you have a seat that is mounted, pretty solidly, to the pedals etc but otherwise everything, either the seat or wheel stand will be pushed away from ‘tother, which renders it useless. A softer elastomer will solve the issue, but to not make one/put one in the box seems like a miss. (The other option is to buy an integrated seat/stand, but I don’t really have the space for that in my office 😩)
But anyway, no more fluttering throttle means I can get back to winning some online races 😊
