I’m a couple days ahead of you but had also been wondering this, I live in hope it gets sent early but seems we will just have to wait and see.Thanks on your answers @HugoTwoWheels and @Pfei
It’s a tough decision, what to do.
In best case I’ll get my order delivered in time, in worst case I could end up being stuck in a not foreseeable queue, as I don’t know how Fanatec handles their order priority.
In my scenario for example, I ordered the Premium Bundle on February 11th.
I don’t know if they handle Bundle Orders separated from specific stand alone orders like the Stand Alone LC Pedal Kit.
Maybe someone has ordered the Load Cell Kit let’s say 3Weeks earlier.
Is he going to receive it earlier than me?!
Because I ordered the Bundle which includes the Load Cell Kit so I don’t know where their priorities are.
Bundles first, Stand alone Kit Second?!
Or the other way around ?!
Or maybe completely separated and individually managed, which would mean Bundles and Stand alone orders don’t follow just the generic order Queue…
In any case, I think I’ll just wait until the 14th and hope I’ll get my Shipping notification.
Because canceling my PreOrder is not an option for me.
I want the Load Cell, I’m not keen to be stuck to the non load cell Pedals.
And the V3s‘ are not an option either, because the Pedals can not be moved sideways and the Clutch Pedal can not be removed.
I don’t need the Clutch Pedal, I like to have the Throttle/Brake Pedal as far apart as possible for a more relaxed Foot Position.
And that’s only possible with the CSL LC Pedals.
@Yard_Sale nice to hear.
I had the same experience when I ordered the McLaren V2 Wheel.
Ordered February 14th, delivered on February 16th…amazing stuff
I'm pretty sure Fanatec would have had the wheelbase option up straight away if they could as they know a lot of people who already have Fanatec gear won't buy the bundle and that rules out a lot of their customer base, especially since they said back in November they were planning to release the standalone 8nm version for 599.95 (Assuming Euros). It is only hurting their sales not to have it available and in Australia all the bundles are showing as available so it's not like they are sold out, whereas the CSL DD is nearly always on preorder here.
If you are using the default settings the wheel is likely way too powerful. Start with the official settings and go from there: https://forum.fanatec.com/discussion/652/gran-turismo-sport-ps4-ps5-fanatec-recommended-settings
You also mentioned locking the wheels in every corner. Most (99%) of my online friends use the antilock brakes. After many years of racing I have turned off antilock brakes, but only for personal enjoyment/challenge, it actually makes me a little slower. I commend you for having ABS off as I think it adds to the enjoyment but it also [nearly] requires a loadcell brake pedal. Some manage without it, and they amaze me.
My man. It's like night and day. Not sure if I was looking at the exact setting you meant (the only force feedback setting I came across after a cursory flick through the wheel menu goes to 100, not 5 as in your example) but after knocking it down to 33/100 to correspond to your 1 out of 5 suggestion, it is instantly different. I've only put in five laps if Brands Hatch since changing it, but feels far more like driving a real car (which is good, because I'm using my real world car in game so I have a "feel" to aim toward).
That's why I specifically mentioned FFB torque in-game, not in the wheel menu. Start with the Fanatec official tuning menu settings, then start the game and in the game menu turn down torque to 1 and try it, then try 2, then 3 and leave it where you feel comfortable.
Works flawlessly
