Fanatec Announcements: CSW V2 Reviews Out

[K_Soze]

Any advice about new 222 driver/110 firmware and Windows 10 gaming with Fanatec gear ?

 

[Shinu]

As of now I raced ~10 hours with my csw v2 (after rma) and the wheel itself is awesome (not one noise this time)

Drivers work on windows 8.1. I think they should work on w10 too.

After last iRacing update I get random 1 sec lags (it looks like it syncs the network) and people jump in front of me. Also (rarely) I get loss of wheel input ( but it might be a problem with my usb controller). Both problems are momentary and fix them self but they ruined couple of races. Did anyone encounter those ?

On the other note my g27 pedals are spiking and I missed on pre ordering (was planing to do that ~next week) CSP v2 set and now I will have to wait till end of September (to my understanding)

It works fine, I didn't notice any difference but I like to keep my drivers up to date.

I have ordered a CSP v3 which is scheduled for shipment 8/31. Apparently no one has received a CSP v3 as there are 0 reviews anywhere that I can find.

It's pretty amazing that no one has received any type of unit to test and comment on.

I received invoices today from Fanatec for the CSP v3 and the dampers for the brake and throttle. I assume this means that they are taking the next step of turning orders into reality. They use invoices to trigger shipments of new and repaired items so I take this as a good sign that they expect to ship pedals and parts at the end of the month.

i too have not seen any reviews...not a good sign . I also received invoice today for my CSP V3 + 1 damper, my past expericence they have usually shipped the product out 1-3 days from receiving invoice. The warehouse it ships from only takes one day to deliver so hopefully ill get the pedals sometime this week

I got the same emails from Fanatec. I also received one from FedEx, they will be here this week.

 

[paskowitz]

Got an email from Fanatec, nothing form FedEx.

You should be receiving one soon. They just sent me another email saying they have picked it up and that it will be here on Wednesday.

 

[uncle_git]

Hmm same ship dates on my orders as well - nothing from them via email yet.

Ordered a CSW, BMW wheel, V3 Pedals and 2 dampers.

 

[Fanapryde]

Good, waiting for reviews now.
My set will probably arrive end of september. I asked them to wait till after my hollydays.

@fatkrakr What was your estimated delivery date before you received the email from FedEx?

 

[fatkrakr]

@fatkrakr What was your estimated delivery date before you received the email from FedEx?

It was 8/31/15, maybe it has to do with the order date. I ordered mine on 6/15/15.

I ordered on the same date 6/15/15, I received the invoice email. Still waiting for Fedex pickup and tracking email. Should be soon though.

 

[uncle_git]

My order date was 06/25/2015 - so hopefully they'll get to it soon

 

[paskowitz]

Got my tracking number! Will do a quick impressions so people can get an idea of what they are like.

Also, anyone looking to pick up a set of CSP v2s for real cheap?

 

[RReed43]

I received shipping information from FedEx. They are estimating delivery on Friday, August 14.

 

[biancazzurro]

Damned Americans here in Ancient Europe we haven't received any email.... Cristoforo Colombo, come back home..

 

[K1LLD0z3R]

Tracking email received ETA today!

Anyone know if the date of 31/8/15 for the Xbox One hub is a realistic date? I'm getting sick of having to change my CSW V2 out for my Thrustmaster TX every time I change from PC or PS4 to Xbone, and with FM6 on the horizon the time might be right to pull the trigger.

PzR, the Universal Hub for Xbox One is showing as "in stock" in the United States. I received mine last week. My guess is their stock is improving. Perhaps they're working hard to meet Forza Motorsport 6 demand.

Thanks for the reply.

 

[GTPorsche]

I guess I should have asked this here...

Is the GT3 RS V2 being sold any more by Fanatec?

 

[paskowitz]

I guess I should have asked this here...

I do not believe so.

 

[GTPorsche]

I do not believe so.

Alright. I'll have to look at a different wheel for when I finally get one for PS4.

 

[K1LLD0z3R]

And here!

They listened.
Got mail today confirming delivery 30/09/2015.

 

[RReed43]

It is truly amazing that the first CSP v3 pedal sets are showing up in the hands of actual customer before any have been released to professional reviewers. There are still zero reviews; nothing beyond the original PR video, photos and specifications from Fanatec.

This is quite a departure from previous new product releases from Fanatec. I'm not sure what that means but I guess Fanatec didn't feel that it was worthwhile to make early production for the review sites.

 

[K1LLD0z3R]

I connected mine tonight (right now I'm PS3 GT6) I had already updated the CSW V2 to firmware 95 from driver 219, or if 219 was beta then I had already done from driver 205. Either way I have firmware 95 with CSP V3 plugged into the wheelbase and operating awesome in GT6.

I have not added the dampers yet. They are valved with the adjustment on compression force. It does not seem to alter rebound. The braking on the softest setting is a happy place for me and my knees and has such fine definition I am certain to be more consistent.

I think with the adjustments and add on damper this can be as stiff or pliable as anyone would like. (Disclaimer, I have not tried to make mine to F1 stiffness. Though I believe it is possible.)

Good times indeed.

@K1LLD0z3R Which pedals did you have before? I'm curious especially if you upgrading from V2, V1, or CSR Elite pedals.
