Oh, you’re right of course I meant the GT DD Pro.
Aren’t they the same ?!
Thanks for clarification I would have been surprised if there would have been any significant changes.

Hello guys !
I've just received my DD Pro and I've just discovered that it was the worst time to install it because of this 1.15 update
. In the comments I've seen some people saying it was good and even better than before the update (like Maurice on Fanatec recommended settings post) so I decided to install it instead of my CSL Elite PS4 
.
As the Direct Drive settings are entirely new to me I wanted to check the recommended settings on the @Jordan 's article here : https://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turis...ed-the-fanatec-gt-dd-pro-heres-how-to-fix-it/ but it's a blank page ? Do you have the same problem ?

I just successfully updated the GT DD Pro base to the latest firmware along with the V3 pedals earlier this morning. Wish FANATEC would release an Apple Mac OS version...Anyway, I will be testing your settings and @Jordan in a little bit. Cross fingers!

Try @Jordan and @PirovacBoy settings with your GT DD Pro. Both are really good settings. I've currently mapped both their settings so I can use either or, depending on the car and track. Maurice's settings are good too, but for my taste at the moment Jordan's and PirovacBoy's are better for me.Hello guys !

Well,a look at his profile pic revealed it early for me 😀If anyone is wondering SimRacer925 is Mr.Maurice Böschen.
Thanks @SimRacer925 for all your effort here,on reddit and in the fanatec forum 👍

Thank you @Abarth_71 & @FMW !
For me the strength has never been an issue because I was used to a FFB Max torque between 3-5 with my CSL Elite in GT Sport (never understood guys that needed to use the maximum resistance in each corner...).
. I should reinstall my CSL Elite back to be sure of that but now that everything is installed...
What "FFB Sensitivity" is supposed to do ? My understanding was : Smooth the game signals with 10 = original / sharp and 1 = smoother / less noise (an FEI like but in the game), but it seems to do nothing with Fanatec wheels (it was like that in GT Sport, at least in blue mode). Am I dreaming ?

I'm playing with those settings right now and it's good but it seems really "strange" specially after my CSL Elite. I have the feeling that a lot is missing about the road texture, kerb, offroad... but I'm not a regular player so it's difficult to remember

Force Feedback Sensitivity in GT7
The Force Feedback Sensitivity setting dictates the exact point at which your steering wheel provides force feedback to you. In simple words, this means that you get to determine at what point you receive information about contact with the track surface to your hands.Just like Force Feedback Max Torque, the greater the number you set here, the more responsive your steering will become. Likewise, a lower number will result in lesser sensitivity.
We're all mostly running 1 on this setting. I've found that turning it up past 1 (with update 1.15) results in less fidelity with the curbs and road. To me turning up sensitivity with update 1.15 dulls the driving feel at the moment...

... which is strange and counter-intuitive, but I've heard this mentioned by YouTube streamers.

@Jordan and @PirovavBoy I tried both your settings with the latest Fanatec PC Driver 442 with the GT Pro Base being updated to 1.1.7.5
With that said, both your settings are holding up. The update to the base didn't break anything, but if things feel different, I can't tell at the moment. Ran a League race tonight at MT. Panorama using a BMW Z4 GT2 car. Ended up using PirovacBoy's settings for that and everything felt great. For the Nations cup, using GT2 cars, I ended up using Jordans settings and that seemed best for that car and race. So, it looks like I can keep alternating between both settings even with the new Fanatec update! Glad it didn't break anything.

OR, maybe the description of the setting is vague and people (me) are not smart enough to know and think that ffb at 10 means “more” so sensitivity at 10 also means “more”… Now, I am “smart enough” to know that at this time in history words don’t really have actual meaning, they are just place holders.

Are you sure ? I've tried switching between 1 and 10 and there is no difference at all. Do you have a use case where I could feel the difference ?
Yes, this option should be at maximum to get the most "raw" signal from the game and after that we have INT or FEI to smooth it directly from our fanatec wheels. I'm pretty sure this is a bug on Fanatec wheels as it was already the case with my CSL Elite on GT Sport (no difference at all between min and max FFB Sensitivity in blue mode but it was obvious in purple mode).

Oh yes, there's difference. With 10 the wheel goes from light to heavy much quicker and easier, which is neither good nor bad.
Use what feels best and what you're fastest with. Just have in mind that your preference might change with changing the max torque setting.
If you can't feel the difference, my guess is that you're way off the optimal range, having a wheel that's either too light all the time or too heavy all the time.

Pick a car you like to drive and a specific track you like to drive at. I will run that car and track, so I can better convey the difference in what I feel. Also, what @HugoTwoWheels is saying is on point from my experience.

Thank you so much for posting that. I just got a DD Pro and couldn't believe how bad it was, virtually undriveable. Your settings make it much better.

Hello fellow GT DD users....
I could do with a bit of help to work out if my GT DD has an issue or not if possible please....
When I go over a high kerb, or hit a sausage kerb, it feels like the wheel jumps a cog and I get a horrible loud noise which sounds like a metal to metal clonk. It obviousely isn't jumping a cog because there are no cogs, but thats what it feels like. It's like all feedback is lost for a split second.
Does everyone get the same thing? I'm hoping, lots of people say "Yes, thats normal"
Personally I hate it, and it doesn't sound like it's doing the wheel any good.
I have the QR1 and 8nm boost kit with V3 pedals and I'm using a set up from @PirovacBoy (thanks dude!). Firmware on everything is up to date.
I have loosened the clamp, checked the shaft is pushed in as far as possible and re-tightened to 10nm. There is a very slight bit of play, but it is only very slight.
My old T-GT never did anything like it, and playing GT7 it felt really good.... perhaps I should have saved the money and stuck with Thrustmaster.

I've read 15 Nm, and tightened accordingly. 10 Nm should be enough though. I've got zero play there. The only slight play I got in high FFB situations with the QR Lite was fixed with electrical tape.
Cyclist's got torque wrenches at home. For the rest of you... It's expensive, and shouldn't be needed. :/

Mine does it with tape and bolt.
Yes, I already went thru that (...and yes, I jumped off the cliff
). They offered my a 30% discount for the QR1 metal (not QR1 lite - plastic version). So, I indulged and got the metal QR and I'm also using the set screw - but still no change in the "click-clonk."Similar threads
