My past experience was that I'd immediately get the PayPal receipt, followed by a PDF from Fanatec/Endor a day or two later, followed by UPS Quantum View tracking info. When I recently purchased the 911 Carrera Final Edition I received the PayPal receipt and UPS info, but not the receipt from Fanatec, though everything was processed and shipped in a very timely manner. I logged into my Fanatec account and my order is listed, but oddly the status is still "pending".
 
Perhaps firmware 1.23-1.28 it remaps full saturation of the brake. Maybe you're not hitting the 100% point on the brake. If you reduce brake pressure using the potentiometer does it make a difference?
I thought the new firmware helps, when I get my CSP and the vibra motor didn't work. It helped, but after the update the throttle deadzone is near 50% if I didn't use the CSP directly via USB. I've also tried with every kind of potenciometer setup, nothing helped. The most interesting thing is that if I test the CSP via USB on my PC, the vibramotor and the throttle works good, but after I try the same with connecting the CSP through the GT2 wheel, the deadzone comes out again.. I start to think that the problem is not in the CSP, maybe it is in my GT2..
 
I ordered mine on the 20th and emailed them yesterday (22nd) and they told me it would be shipped on Monday. I've emailed them twice already, once before this one about a different topic and so far every time I have emailed them with a question I would receive a answer the same day or the next day.

If you have any questions about your order you should email them about it.👍

Be patient mate. Nowadays they have a lot to do. I've ordered my GT2 and CSP a few weeks ago and both of them arrived in 5 business days. I only get an email with a tracking number on my 2nd order, but it doesn't count. Just a few days and you'll get it I think 👍

I have a very good feeling it will come on Monday. That is unless it ships over the weekends.

I am fine, so no need to say be patient. I was contacting them for a friend that has a Turbo S wheel that he wants to update the firmware on, He has Win 7 and I asked if they had any work around for the Win 7 problem they have. I went ahead in that email and asked if they could give me a expected shipping date on my order also. I am not expecting it until next Friday so if it comes Monday that'll be a great surprise.

Also on the patient thing. If I have a question on my order that I paid for I expect to be able to email them whenever I please as long as the question is of importance, especially after they have the money from my credit card.;)

Crispy can't get his wheel for all your pestering.lol:crazy::) He does however have speculation and a very good feeling working for himself.
 
Must be a bad job having to do all of that work answer emails and also boxing wheels together. Its a wonder they didn't go out of business for those 2 emails I sent. It probably made them close to being bankrupt answering them.:nervous:

I know it will come eventually, that's the good part! 👍 Really, I'm fine. It's my mom though. :lol: She's really into the customer service thing, which is good, but she shouldn't be the one worrying whether the wheel will come. :lol:
 
Update: So I have been waiting and didn't get a tracking number, so I had no ideal when the wheel would arrive which isn't good since I may not be home. So I emailed them yesterday asking for a tracking number since they told me on the 22nd the wheel would ship on the 25th.

I got this as a reply today along with my receipt finally. .:crazy:

thanks a lot for your order no.199xx and the pre-payment.


When the goods will leave the warehouse, we will send you an email with the tracking number.

I am just wondering how long it would have taken if I wouldn't have emailed them as I was under the assumption the wheel had been shipped on the 25th and judging by this it hasn't even left the warehouse. :ill:

So far it goes I ordered it on the 20th and it still hasn't left the warehouse on the 28th.

Wait about two or three days and you'll get a tracking number. It has shipped from Germany, now they have it in California. Best part is, 24-Hour shipping. If you live close by, you'll get it within a day.

Do all the wheels come with the most current set of firmware of the lot? Or do I have to go download the drivers from www.911wheel.com?
 
I on the opposite side of the US from Cali so it'll be a bit until I receive it.:( O well I guess I'll play the waiting game even longer now.

I am not sure, but it would make sense that it would have the latest firmware. I would ask, but I am done emailing them since it might make them go out of business answering mt emails.:scared:


Also how do they ship these wheels exactly? I was under the assumption that when they have them in stock that means they have them in the US warehouse and not in Germany.

Mine came directly from Cali. It was at my door in less than a week from when I placed the order.

Hey Frankly, I know you'll be surprised to hear this from me but the email guy is probably not the shipping guy.:crazy: In fact I wouldn't be surprised to find out it DID ship a couple days ago, they can seem a little sketchy but they're solid. Stay Happy.👍

Scotty

p.s. 3 to 5 days shipping time via UPS Ground from CA to WV
 
I always thought people from Kentucky couldn't spell. Thanks for clearing that up and for being a troll.

"troll

Darn Franky I thought we were just cutting up and killing time waiting on UPS.

Friends ?

Yea no problem, but that is what you did.;)

I'll just be playing the waiting game until it comes whenever that will be.

Hey Franky, I've seen your drift videos. Nice.

As for timeline, I ordered mine on a Friday morning sometime this month, and got the confirmation, receipt and tracking number on the same day. The UPS website only showed "billing initiated" status that night. My wheel didn't ship until Monday. The wheel was delivered to my door Thursday afternoon as scheduled via UPS ground. This time-frame is consistent with my other online purchases (from Newegg) via UPS ground which originated from the same state (Cali).
 
Thanks glad you liked them.

I just looked at my email and boom a tracking number. Clicked on it and boooooooom.

A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.

Finally have it. I am excited as Santa Claus when he gets some cookies and milk.

Did you hear the one about the guy from WV and the guy from kentucky getting in a fight on the internet?
I had good laugh that you thought that was a fight. Thanks

Also did hear about that guy from Ohio trying to be funny, but failed?
