This is taken from Thomas' Blog site:
2. 911 GT3RS V1 wheel
This wheel was never advertised to be fully PS3 compatible although it works with several games. Unfortunatly this is not the case for GT5. The good news are that you can upgrade your wheel to V2 and get full PS3 compatibility, more Tuning features and even the big ClubSport shifter paddles.
You can purchase the upgrade kits in our webshop but availability is limited due to the big demand.

I just posted this in another thread. It talks about wheel setup in GT5 a bit. Hope it helps....
"Not sure if you guys have or haven't seen this, but it talks a bit about some adjustments to make on GT5 that may help. It's around the 15:30 mark on the video."
Fanatec GT5 Setup
That's good news.
I canceled my Clubsport Edition and placed an order for just the GT2 wheel and the Clubsport pedals. They were holding the clubsport editions for the shifters to arrive sometime in January. I will use paddle shifters for awhile to see when the normal shifters come in stock, and hopefully the clubsport edition shifter will be released or more info released soon. Maybe I'll just hold out and apply the $50 for the shifter kit for the clubsport shifter.

I ordered GT2 and Standard pedals, got an Email this morning saying it has shipped. Cant Wait!!!
Gotta wait till January to get the Shifter, but thats cool, making another order will give me justification to buy CSPs then too

I'd like to place an order for GT2 and CSP but i also want RennSport Wheel stand and Shifter as well. I hate to get stuck with all the extra shipping etc. if i order separately. I'll likely just order the GT2 Clubsport and wheel stand and have to wait.
I got notification that my wheel stand won't be delivered until 3rd week of January now, bummer as previously I was told December. My GT2 was ordered separately but without the wheel stand I can't use it anyway lol.
Yup, got it 13.52 today, well yesterday now as it's after midnight. Here you go...

Best regards
Thanks for that update man. It's much appreciated. I never recieved anything like that and I have a couple email into Fanatec to see if I could shange my order up a bit...seeing as though they're not shipping things until orders are completely ready to ship.
Yeh, I hear ya man...it's a little concerning I guess. Really, the only reason I went with fanatec was for the use of the clubsports. Aside from those, I would have just bought the G27 for the better support from Logitech. You like to know that if you're dropping around $600 US on a wheel and some pedals, that getting in touch with someone isn't going to be an issue.Interesting reply from Fanatec.
I was just about to purchase a GT2, but perhaps I won't now if that is the type of reply I may expect
i think you guys need to consider the language barrier here. YES, they obviously speak and understand english, but some things do not carry well. happens a lot when i have dealt with european customers in the past. them saying to "send no further emails" is proper english but they do not consider tone like we might. sounds rude when we say/read it but they might im sure they dont mean it that way.
I strongly suggest to avoid the standard pedals. I've had a Turbo S wheel for less than a month and think it's fantastic. However, the standard pedals are a completely different story. They stopped working properly already and have the unwanted brake input that seems to be so common. The situation is worse when the clutch is used and it seems that even using some epoxy on the potentiometers, as suggested by some people, is not a definite solution. Basically, these pedals look like a cheap plastic toy compared to the wheel.
Now, the other big problem is trying to get a reply from customer service. I've been waiting for more than a week and who knows how long it's going to take. So my recommendation is to go with the Clubsport pedals, which seem to be great and much better than the G25/G27 pedals, and hope that you never have a problem with any Fanatec product.
