Fanatec Black Friday 2020

[davidt33]

I was looking at what wheel to upgrade to being i'm coming from a T150. I was thinking about going for the cheaper T300 until I saw the price of the discounted CSL Elite. For now I bought just the wheel part of the system to go with my T3PA pedals (usb adapter coming in the mail for those) but I will most likely get some Fanatec pedals in the near future.

I eagerly await for my purchase to arrive

@Cowboy . When you decide to get the pedals make sure to get the V3 pedals. Costs a bit more but well worth it.

Thanks at @DomB_Fanatec for letting me know about emailing customer support regarding the Black Friday price.
Fanatec will give me a credit for the sale price although they said it is a 1st time loyal customer thing.

I just got my gear!

Sweet! Now be a good boy and make your bed and maybe dad will help you assemble it after dinner.

Something interesting:

Check your order on the Fanatec website. There should be a tracking number there.

I keep checking, all it says is "processed"

When I ordered my stuff it took around 4 days to process my order, and then I got an email about a tracking number and that was a couple of months ago. So with black Friday and many people wanting Fanatec stuff, it may take a bit longer to do your order.

What are you talking about?
Bed is fine!

I ordered last monday. Took two days to process the order. Then shipped on wednesday and got it today.

I was able to score a BMW rim!, on BF. There were 300 left when I was able to finally check out. Reminded me of the 2020 LE F1 release day.
What really irritates me is the shipping on the sticker set. Almost $15+tax on a $30 item!? That's ridiculous. Also, FedEx is the absolute worse shipping company. They will leave a package out in the rain. That is what they did with my Formula V2 rim.

Hopefully it'll be shipped tomorrow. Thanks!

Just got shipping text from fedex.

Looks like I'm waiting until Monday

Hello to all,

You can confirm that this offer includes :

The CSL Elite + CSL Elite Wheel Base (as in the photo)

Thanks.

 

[DomB_Fanatec]

Hi @Claudio 81 , yes, the CSL Elite Racing Wheel is a combination of the CSL Elite Wheel Base + and a P1-style steering wheel as shown in that image.

 

[Petroperu]

Question about the wheel.
So it took me about 6 hours to complete set-up the whole thing from opening packages to setting up pedals to mounting it to the playseat.
Everything cool and all.
I updated the drivers and calibrated everything but the PS4 doesn't recognize it.
I must be doing something wrong.

 

[DomB_Fanatec]

Are you in PlayStation mode? (Blue light on the base) Did you press the PS button on the wheel to sign in?

 

[Racer294]

Push the PS button.
Or, you didnt get the Xbox1 model?

 

[Petroperu]

Rig is done!

I had to calibrate the shifter. That's why I was getting no signal.
I was in 6_n mode.
After that, everything worked.
I gotta use shoes for the brake loadcell pedal.
Traiditional sock footwear doesn't cut it anymore.

Weak feet. I use socks with the T-LCM pedals. With the load cell at 97kg.

Are the pads flat or do they have bumps/holes?

Oh yeah. Those bumps look uncomfortable


My pedals are smooth

You probably have brake force too high. Try 30 or 40. I use and bare feet.

It is at default 80.

 

[Racer294]

It is at default 80.

That's really high IMO

You can remove those rubber covers for a smoother pedal surface if you wish. With the right combination of BRF setting and elastomer springs, you should be able to comfortably use socks.

Hello. I have an issue with the LC brake pedal which is too stiff.
How can I set the max on the Fanatec wheel properties as there is no option for that.
I see there is an actual Fanatec load brake cell property config but that doesn't show on mine.

Nevermind: Found out you have to deselect the auto-calibration option.

EDIT#2: I can't set max only min.
Instead of the max button, there is a "brf" text.

Adjust the BRF setting in the wheel settings to adjust the desired pressure.

YES!
Thank you.
Let me tell you this is something a LOT of people have issues with and they think the whole pedal is too hard to use because they don't know you can adjust this in wheel.
I set mine to 30 and is much more playable now.

I am about 95% ready.
Next thing is to buy a set of gloves that protect the nice alcantara from the WRC wheel.
