They just lowered the price of the Express edition which is already available, now it's only 50 more instead of 150! I'd consider it, in fact I already ordered one lol.
Btw, the status on my order says "The order has been processed", anyone know how long it usually takes until you get a UPS tracking number?

I ordered thursday evening, receiving it this afternoon. On the Fanatec webside I could see the tracking number on saturday. However, I don't think it's visible on the mobile website, so either check on a computer browser or view the website in "computer mode" on your mobile browser.
Edit: Just received it and tried it out. Couldn't be happier or more pleased in any single way or detail.

Well i eventually got a response regarding the refund and since they wont refund me the 100€ price difference i wanted to return the product but it seems they will refund the whole sum i paid -149,95€ that are shipping costs even though my order was shipped with Ups standard and costed 29€....
I fail to follow their logic.

I'm soo excited, That I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!Well I ordered Monday morning just got an email from ups that I will get a package tomorrow
Though of course I woke up waaay too early so this will be the longest morning since I got the PS5 I guess.
Mr. UPS-man is coming in the afternoon.
Edit:
And it arrived
But wow that brake pedal is something different from the G29, and I already had a stronger spring in the brake pedal of my G29, the spring on the CSL pedals is even stronger I think and the pedal travels a lot farther so I often don't brake enough yet, that's gonna take some getting used to, the steering is fantastic btw, dialed in the recommended settings by Fanatec, and it's very nice, but I think I'm going to have to adjust some things to get it towards my liking, it's shaking a bit too much on road surface ffb for me.Btw the steering wheel feels very good, feels like high quality even though it looks a bit like a toy.

I got mine today as well. I haven't been on GT Sport since April. I am not as fast as I used to be, but boy oh boy, this steering wheel and the pedals are something else. Much more control and immersion. The diameter is perfect too. Great stuff. I tried it on Project Cars 2 as well and liked it. I'll stick with the 5nm a bit. I feel that's gonna be enough for GT Sport for now, but am wondering about GT 7.I'm soo excited, That I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!

Thanks for posting your first impressions. I am waiting for delivery. Regarding the torque, while you are probably correct that 5Nm is enough force for most people (especially for me coming from Logitech), from what I have gathered during my research it seems the boost to 8Nm not only gives more force, but also increases the dynamic range. Meaning that even if you decide not to use the extra force it will still improve your FFB making it more nuanced and detailed, even at low settings. That info has pushed the boost kit higher up on my accessory priority list than I had originally anticipated.

Does anyone know if I will be able to use the base with this support that I already have?

I agree. I haven't written it off yet but will wait a little. I'm wondering if there are third party 'boost kits' out there, or fanatec rethinks their pricing approach. The heft of the base definitely screams 'quality', the Gran truism wheel is good (great diameter and the gt 'feel'), the pedals are solid and a big step up (build quality is great). I just don't think that a boost kit is worth that money. Lower it by 50 (make it a juicy 99) and I am in.

Yes, there are. It's literally just a power supply. However the base records all use of the rig, including the power being supplied to it, so if you use an aftermarket power pack to save money and then you have a problem later on, even if unrelated, Fanatec will know and likely void your warranty. I agree it's a rip-off but I see myself blowing upwards of two grand on accessories in the future so what's a hundred fifty more for an overpriced power cord?

Yes, always use the lowest possible FFB gain in-game and 100% FFB in the wheelbase. This enables you to have the largest possible dynamic range with as little clipping as possible.
If the FFB is too strong then, lower the FFB strength in the wheelbase.
If it's too weak, increase in-game gain, or even better buy a stronger wheelbase.
I run 1/1 in GT Sport and 100% FFB strength in the 8 Nm wheelbase. I see no reason for ever having more torque on a 28 cm rim, unless you want to feel manly on forums or be funny on Youtube. I'd actually prefer a bit weaker than a bit stronger if I had to choose. And no, it's quite unlikely that you're stronger and more fit than I am.

Absolutely. That was the first thing I did.
The wheelbase settings are their standard settings but with less interpolation (INT) and less damping (NDP). That gives a crisper signal and sensation.
I eventually turned NDP off and lowered INT to 1, for an even more crisp sensation, without harshness or unwanted effects. However, with NDP under 30, the wheel can begin to oscillate if you're not holding it. And with INT at 0, it'd be too low since you can feel the crude and harsh signal with no interpolation at all - 1 is enough.
For in-game settings, max torque 5 is just stupid if you ask me. The signal clips, detail when cornering is lost and the wheel becomes stupid heavy with 8 Nm. Even with my G29 I used max torque 1 to avoid clipping when cornering, especially with high downforce cars in high G-force situations.
And FFB sens should as recommended always stay at 1. Raising this just compresses the dynamic range and makes everything heavy, but can increase detail when going straight ahead with low torque wheelbases.
This is my settings below for the GT DD Pro with a 8Nm boost kit and it feels like I am driving my own real car, whether it's going around the corner slow or fast and it's so smooth to steer.
SEN AUE
FF 70
FF SCAL PEAK 1
NAT DAMP 30
NAT FRI OFF
NAT INE 80
FFB INT 20
FEI 10
FORCE 070
SPRING 100
DAMPER 100
BRK.LVL 100
SHCK.VIB 100
BRAKEF. 40
In-Game Settings:
Force Feedback Max Torque: 1
Force Feedback Sensitivity: 1
Edit: These wheel settings above are without a firmware update, because there is no need to do it for GT Sport for GT7 I will use a latest firmware update.

Oh... I definitely don't want the wheel to feel like any road car at all. Possibly I'd like a GT3 or formula car, with added "seat of pants" effect for lack of G-force sensations in the body.
Road car wheels don't give me enough information to feel comfortable at the limit and drive consistently. I need compensation for lack of G-forces.
I drive a lot of a of low and high powered car in GT Sport with them wheel settings, and the wheel feels pretty dam good to me.

Ooh whoops, apparently I accidentally set my first custem setup to a custom sensitivity instead of auto, I messed up a lot of people's races in that one race 
understeer galore, had to turn the wheel about twice as much than normal...
Note to self: Don't mess with custom setup 1

I ordered a GT DD Pro express on Jan 25, and I’ve just received the warehouse processing email, it’s only been two days! Let's see if it actually ships in a day or two. The US site said no order would be shipped between Jan 18 - Jan 30 when I placed the order.

I got the same email an hour ago. Ordered on 23 January.

Yes, buddy of mine had the same issue. Even if you updated the firmware, you may not have the latest version. Uninstall. Install. Rinse. Repeat. Welcome to Fanatec software/drivers.

These settings feel pretty good, but I have not used a wheel before so there is a lot to learn. Max torque 5 in game was just ridiculously heavy.

My partner just tried this wheel, 8 Nm, with these settings, for a couple of minutes. She couldn't care less about games or cars, especially car games, but still she intuitively held really good slip angle just by feel, with a couple of hard to drive MR cars like Porsche 911 95- and Audi R8 Gr.3. People otherwise always talk about how these spin out easily on lift-off or braking into corners.
How it's supposed to be, in my opinion. She wouldn't crash straight into a wall in real life either.

Can someone try the 911 95- on Willow Springs with the Fanatec recommended settings but with FF SCAL as Linear? I just did it, for fun, and it felt like cheating. It was so damn obvious where the grip was and the steering wheel guided me along the track by itself, I just had to modulate brakes and throttle. I picked this combination because it's so hard to not **** up in the long sweeping corners with a car that hates you.
My partner did great with 1/1 in-game, and so did I but I had to focus a bit. With 5/1 in-game and FF SCAL to linear I didn't need to focus, I had to force a mistake to not go fast. I'm way stronger than she is so maybe 1/1 with FF SCAL Peak felt like 5/1 and FF SCAL Linear to me.
Can someone try it?
(Just be careful with turning NDP off and letting go off the wheel - I'm not responsible for broken hands, dead cats and so on. Use the Fanatec recommended settings if you're doing 5/1 in-game and FF 100.)
(And all is done with 8 Nm.)
