It sucks but at least it shouldn’t be too hard for them to send you the button package.

You only have xbox buttons? That does suck. I would paint over them and silver sharpie the markings til proper ones arrive. Hope they are a little more careful with mine that gets here day after tomorrow.

Remember it’s just a pack of replaceable caps. No need to destroy what is there. I concur with annoyance.

I saw in the box they have non Xbox ones...those like wipers etc.

This. Unfortunatly I didn't preorder that rim, and now I am waiting that they open the sell for us. And see that people will get on end of May makes me cry. I have probably to wait up until June? July? To order that thing.

I only hope to have chance until my birthday 25 August... first are preorders...and from first batches opened for buyers - nobody knows how fast they wil sell everything...so it is possible to miss them

Seems to be some confusion about what buttons are included. The wheel comes with the XBox buttons attached. In the package you will also find find the below.

You get a set of button caps with common automotive symbols on them and a set of common racing stickers to stick on the wheel.

And you can boast of a properly configured steering wheel, where did you sign and what caps did you use?

I'll take another pic after work but currently I've taken all the button caps off and just have the coloured buttons with stickers above or below them.

Hello all,
Unfortunately our warehouse made a mistake by shipping units to customers and a few customers unfortunately have received a pre-production unit which was not meant to be sold.
Only McLaren GT3 Rims with a serial number starting with “QM028…” are affected.
These units do not have a technical fault but they may show issues and this is the reason why we replace them as a precaution.

We already have contacted the customers which have received these units. These customers also have received a prepaid shipping label to send the unit back to us and today we will ship the correct production model to the affected customers in advance. In case an owner of a McLaren GT3 with a serial number starting with “QM028…” did not receive this e-mail with the shipping label included and if this E-Mail also cannot be found in the spam or junk mail folder of the e-mail account, please contact Fanatec support.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Check the previous post and check your serial. You can be one from the guys with preproduction unit sent by mistake.

Yup I'm. QM02800035 Found the email in the spam.

It is not my week. Now I will have to find someone to ship it for me. No wonder it bricked my wheel at first. (it started too boot loop) but I managed to reflash it.

My TV died, bought a new one. Came with a mark on the screen.
Then my PSU died (I think neighbors construction is at fault).

The wheel finally came. Was pumped but now this
....
I sent them an RMA ticket yesterday and they sent me an email that they are sending the caps ( I gave them my SN in the ticket info) so what the heck? Chat is not working.

To my understanding I have to send the wheel back but they are also sending me buttons (could have informed me about the shipping mishap)

Now I'm thinking about shipping it on Monday because it will just sit in the post office.

My GT3 wheel is now officially...sort of...more than halfway across the country, in Indiana.

Taking the scenic route!

Come to Buffalo...come to poppa!

What you mean - Indiana? Something like old westerns - the cowboys deliver your wheel and indians will attack them to steal the GT3 wheel and to dance around it in the indian village.. haha

Every day I've been checking mine. Now it's in Missouri so roughly 600 miles away now. Still says it scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

We all know Indiana - I was just joking!))

 

[Krassi]

Btw in US where is the starting point for the shipping?

Oh, Krassi, believe me I know you did. That's why I did the "Ha". I just wanted to give a shout out to the good folks in the middle States!

All our orders, I believe, start in California.

EDIT: I should say, my second "Ha"...what can I say, I like "Ha"s!

Promised I would post a pic of my wheel. Still undecided whether or not I will use button caps or not.

Without the caps looks much much better and more realistic!

OK, well, I don't care if the Mods delete this post, but I just almost came to full male satisfaction and release after seeing this photo. I'm downloading it, blowing it up and putting it up as a poster on my wall in the basement next to my rig.

Thank you, PzR.
