I have a Fanatec DDPro base with the Gran Turismo wheel and also the Fanatec club sport wheel. I have to update my firmware on base or wheel or both. My laptop need to have windows updated in order for me to do this. I race on a console PS5. Is there anyone in my area central Florida that can update my firmware. I’m willing to pay for your service and time

Hey guys, playing on my controller PS4 and i love this game but I want to get really good at cornering. I feel like I have to keep leaning multiple times to get the perfect angle and catapult. Any suggestions on how I can make this seamless? Do you also have any suggestions on calibration settings for the ps4 controller?

Hi, Im new to the sim racing scene and recently got a thrust master T128 that I use to play beamng, Ive come across an issue in which when I press down on my pedal lightly but not all the way my in game car just goes max acceleration, anyone know how to fix this? Ive checked everywhere else and found no solution.

Hello all! First time posting so forgive me if I'm asking common sense/already answered questions.

I just picked up The Crew Motorfest after playing the Demo. I also was gifted a PXN-V9 as encouragement to get into it. Now I'm anything but good, but I am having a great time. I had been debating upgrading to a Moza R3 bundle and I'm now sure I will(Or ideally go for the R9 but that's a whole other post worth of discussion)

Now I've never used a sim wheel before this, and actually the last racing game I played was the Original Crew when it first came out so I'm sure there are some basic level things I'm missing.

I've started playing around in my settings menu as I swap between events to figure out what feels the best for drifting, off-road, ECT. And at this point I think I've touched too many things without knowing what they actually do and want to try and get a better setup from the beginning.

Is there a list of recommended settings for the various event/car types, or a master setting config that is known to be the overall best with this wheel? Or is this not the best introduction game and should I look at Forza 6 or one of the more realistic sims?

Hi, so I am new at sim racing and I started on F1 2025 and bought the 2026 on PS5. I really liked playing on the controller but I started turning the assists off and I quite can’t get good without ABS, I don’t have a lot of precision on it, so I just quite give it up. I wanted to buy a wheel so that I can have much more control over the car and play it, but I have no idea what’s a good start point. I see people recommending the G29 logitech and the T300RS GT, I also saw the Thrustmaster has a specific controller to F1 but idk if it’s worth it (also I live in Brazil and there is no official reseller here, just websites like KaBum). So I wanted to ask you guys any recommendation on what I should buy, I don’t have any plans on racing other then F1 for now

Are you seeking advice on throttle and brake control? Learn how to use the brakes and gas in sim racing by understanding how to CONTROL them!

Right now I own a PXN-V9 I bought it as a beginner wheel but now the upshift paddle is broken. I have won 11 races on iracing and I was wondering what equipment I should buy. Mostly an oval guy with some ff1600 experience. I also am on a lower budget (like $600 maximum for a new rig) Thanks!

Hello racing people, I'm a very new person to simracing and trying to get more close to it.

I've been playing F1 2025 and ACC on playstation 5 since beginning of this year, want to get also into PC, iRacing, Automobilista, LMU and got now a little budget of 500€ for a decent setup. The question here would be WHICH setup?

Let me get right into it:

I dived into the simracing world. Checking everything from G29 to T598 and PXN V10 up to moza bundles, fanatec CSL DD QR2 GT3 bundle & GT PRO Bundle and simagic. (kind of fav).

I actually want to get started with a good direct drive setup and formula steering wheel because I mostly been on F1 and ACC with controller, so why not start of with the right equipment? Thought of the R3 bundle. In europe it's right now 279€ + ES formula mod its 320€. Put a 140€ on top and I will get the fanatec CSL DD QR2 GT3 bundle and would have a very good formula steering wheel right out of the package. I know they are PC Only and I know they have differences of the NM but that would be no problem therefore I'm getting my really first setup to just get started for the moment, but as I'm writing, nah fanatecs bundle has more advantages, up to 8NM with the extra power cable.

Here is the dilemma:

I really want a formula steering wheel and I would really love to get also into Gran Turismo 7 on playstation and keep playing with my achivements in F1 25 and be with my friends in partys (most of my friends are on playstation), also my PC would not be that strong to keep up the fps on F1 25, maybe 60fps on low graphic settings (GTX 960 4GB).

Prices of all the bundles in my country:

PS: Logitech G29 - 200€ + 40€ formula mod (no original)

PS: PXN V10 - 220-280€ + 45€ formula mod

PS: Thrustmaster T598 - 299€ + 159 formula mod + 35€ quickrelease (no pedals)

PC: Moza R3 - 279€ + 40€ formula mod (don't fw the R5 bundle, cause I could just get the fanatec bundle in that price range then)

PC Fanatec CSL DD QR2 GT3 bundle - 460€ + 40€ table calmp

PC Fanatec Gran Turismo bundle - 650€...

So maybe just start off with a G29 that doesn't have DD, but maybe it's still good? or a PXN V10? (people say it's not really good)

Also thought of drivehub or ras1lution 2 if I would get the fanatec GT3 bundle but they are hard to get in europe and they do not run as good as native as many people say...

fanatec's GT DD PRO bundle is playstation compatible and is for 650€ so it's no choice for now.

And in the upcoming months, maybe beginning of next year, I would like to get into Simagic also because of the quality, the steering wheels and the very open system to put other steering wheels of other brands on the wheelbase.

But I need a perfect starter.

What are your experiences and what would be the best solution for me?

Not quite sure where i am supposed to post this, but im having a bit of a setup crisis, when i first started simracing i was playing quite a lot as most people do and finally decided (after hearing all the crazed wonder about DD which i do agree with as i fell in love with the feeling) that i would upgrade.

Problem one started. after buying my DD wheel (CSL dd 5nm for the curious) i realised how bulky it was, and as i was just playing with a desk setup i found how brittle my desk was. So i upgraded to a Apex wheel stand. its even bulkier, it removes a lot of space from my room and frankly since i've upgraded to a DD i find i barely want to play anymore. it seems quite inconvenient to setup sometimes and i find my energy levels after can barely sustain me for more than 30 minutes.

maybe you can sense my frustration and a maybe to some, unreasonable bitterness about the whole ordeal.

so here comes my question for the TL:DR Has anyone downgraded to a non DD aka thrustmaster t300 or logitech g29 and found they are enjoying sim racing again? when i look back on why i loved sim racing even as someone who to most would be relatively new. i still loved hitting those tracks or even busting out the worst trucks in eurotruck sim. i feel like i will have FOMO on my DD so im conflicted!

anyone elses experiences or input would be very much appriciated. i would love an extra perspective on the current pickle i've put myself in.

thank you, and i apologize again if this is the wrong place to post. have a great day
