Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Extreme Wheel

[BWX]

My third DD+ base arrived today. It came with 2.0.1.4 (455) for the base and 1.1.0.3 for the WQR. This time the base serial number matched the serial number on the box (first replacement base was mismatched). After a quick test in GT7 I went ahead and updated it to 462. I was only able to do an hour in GT7 but so far this base looks promising. There’s no coil whine, and the handbrake input on the calibration screen is stable and isn’t jumping like in my previous base. Using PirovacBoy’s settings, it also doesn’t do the shaking when the wheel is centered - not sure if it has something to do with the latest GT7 update or the 462 firmware but my previous two bases had the shaking. After 6 1/2 weeks of being away, WOW! I had a big smile the moment entered the first turn and that smile lasted throughout the race

I wonder if they sent you my first base for your second base. LOL. We should compare serial numbers. My 1st base I sent back had that problem with hand brake and slight coil whine. 🤔 LOL I'm joking, they wouldn't do that... would they? naw.... I did have my first base working perfectly besides that though, they just wanted it back to test it because I did have disconnected on earlier FW versions, and I told them that. Then when they tested my base they couldn't reproduce the disconnects, but I told them it wasn't doing that after the FW combos I had on there at the time. It's like they forgot why they wanted it in the first place, or something was lost in translation. My new base is perfect as far as I can tell.


1st OG base.. Base S/N: GR014013560 Handbrake jumpy


2nd base. Handbrake smooth


That proves there was a hardware problem in the base because nothing else changed. Just thought it was interesting. They never acknowledged the hand brake issue even after I repeatedly inquired about it. 🤷‍♂️
