Fanatec Podium Direct Drive Wheel Bases Thread

[DomB_Fanatec]

Awesome thanks @DomB_Fanatec. Do these settings also cover general wheel sensitivity or just force feedback settings? This will actually be my first wheel so I wanted to make sure that I'm able to dial in the right overall settings for the F1 franchise, ACC, iRacing, etc.

You'll see that each list for each game (per platform) is categorised by wheel base. For each wheel base, I have listed both the Fanatec Tuning Menu settings and the recommended In-Game settings. Both the Tuning Menu settings and In-Game settings need to be applied in order to achieve the intended final output from the base. This includes the sensitivity value in the Tuning Menu. Many games either have their own calibration wizards which you should follow, or they just work without calibration. If there are any other in-game sensitivity sliders, you should assume these are left at default unless otherwise stated.

Please help us to find the right name for our new software package

From reading that, it doesn't seem like the software has the feature I most hoped for, the ability to override FFB from the game and instead use it's own FFB based purely on telemetry from the game. Is this correct? It does say it reads telemetry, but does not mention the other parts. From watching reviews of other software, it seems people really liked that feature and that it significantly improved the FFB

Does this not sound like what you are talking about?

Create customized force feedback effects

F-sync?

Perhaps, but hard to know for sure, could mean something else as well.

Certainly sounds like a comprehensive suite of tools so hopefully it will have the functionality you require.

@DomB_Fanatec.
With Sony changing platforms in the near future,Will the Podium be compatible with future hardware or only PS4 ?

Will it only accept Fanatec preipherals or have the ability to use others ?

 

[tunaphis]

Thanks.

@DomB_Fanatec Why do you have to select the CSW V2 in pCARS2 Ingame and not the CSW 2.5? When calibrating I have a FFB strong back pressure is this normal? the calibration is only possible if I greatly reduce the FFB in the podium.

I’m in California and ordered the PS4 Podium also and got the same email this morning. Should get tracking info this afternoon. I am usually one day away from their warehouse for deliveries so hopefully delivery by Thursday. Friday latest.

COOL!!!

 

[bjosim]

the functionality you require.

Yes, hopefully But, not to be nitpicky, it's not a "requirement" on my part, just a wish

Just a question to the PS4 players like @tunaphis who are concerned about future compatibility - why not just take the plunge and buy a gaming PC? At first I was intimidated by making the leap but I'm so happy that I did ... you have access to the best racing simulations like iRacing, you get compatibility with ultrawide monitors, triple screens, etc, and you're not subject to get "compatibility anxiety."

I am completely sensitive to people who are on a budget but if you're dropping $ 1000-1500 on a DD wheel I feel like getting a gaming PC should be within reach.
