Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro

You say you set it in the Fanatec app, do you mean the settings on the wheel or the PC app? Try setting it on the wheel if you haven't done that.

Yeah just like on that Reddit thread. I open the Fanatec App, I hold the wheel dead centred and calibrate. The calibration is correct, if I hold the wheel centred when racing it is centered but if I relax at all, like how one would still be touching the wheel but naturally let it re-centre, it sits 5 degrees to the right. With the Karts it's brutal as i am always correcting and it messes with my line through the long final turn.

The original poster in that Reddit thread leaves a couple of interesting comments...

"UPDATE!!
I have take apart the QR2 and it turned out it was the black bracket, one of the screws had started to come loose. Reset it and it should work. Remember to recentre after"

and

"I just re-installed the QR2 into the DD1 and it turned out it was the black bracket that was starting to come loose which was making it unaligned. It's back to normal now."

If you do remove the collar and check the bracket you'll need a good strong hex key and ideally a torque meter. It's not too difficult though, I had to do it when installing my QR2. Fanatec have good instructions.

Edit: You might want to do the Jimny test first though and see if that drives straight, before getting the allen keys out.

The attachment of the QR to the shaft is different for the Podium DD and the CSL/GT DD, for this reason his advices is useless to you.

When you are in the control panel and calibrate the wheel, then let go, does it stay centered?

If not then the calibration didn’t stick - hands off it should stay centered when powered on. If the centering is not being saved, sounds like some issue w the driver or the electronics in the base, not the qr2 connection if all else works normally on the wheel

No, when I let it go it droops to the right. I don't have QR2 installed yet, I got the gear just before xmas and it came with QR2 but not installed so I believe I have QR1.

When the wheel powers on it should do a parital spin then return to the last calibration point +/- a degree or 2. Did you try the 2 button center cal procedure? Not sure what wheel you have so might be different

This is mine powered on with no input from the PS5. It does not stay centred because of the magnets, which you can also feel when rotating. When FFB is active it'll stay pretty much centred depending on the camber of the track.

The steering wheel must have QR, it cannot do without it.
When you go to the page of the wheel base you want the picture should show with what QR it is.
Give me a link to the page of the base you want.

THanks for this, I decided against the supplied wheel and went with the P1 V2 which is a fantastic wheel but I will need to muck about to figure out which buttons correspond to each wheel as I don't have the right button labels yet. I will give this a try though.

Right, see this is important. I understand it drooping with ffb off but in a race with FFB engaged it stays at 5pc to the right.

The csl btw wheel is the same https://fanatec.com/us-en/steering-wheels/csl-steering-wheel-bmw so that manual should help

Legend! It's a really nice wheel, never used the regular DD Pro but the small gear paddles spooked me as did the small size, the CSL wheel is lovely and the quality seems outstanding for the price.
