      Considering the DD+ is a $1000, the wheel is like 300 but in reality since you have a buy a QR2 when you buy standalone DD+ and wheel, this wheel is only like $230 extra so ... maybe expectations are little too high for what's expected from a $230 wheel?

    A year ago I choose Logitech pro over Fanatec DD pro. After 10 months it started to make crancking noise from its shaft and contacted Logitech. They just replaced the whole product not just wheel base with pickup service, did not even needed to send it. I am so satisfied with the product too. I do not need ecosystem I just want to enjoy racing without the need to buy more and more from the "ecosystem". It works flawless for PC too complete peace of mind!

They also have to do what they want the wheel rim plastic you think that was all fanatec? No they wanted it to match there old thrustmaster wheel as fanatec said they don't mske the decision on the wheel rim. The qr2 also is to cut cost yes because fanstec has to pay them out the ass. It's why I will never buy the bundle and I will buy the good wheels and base. Dd+ is fantastic feels insanely quality and there other rims/wheels are amazing. So all good.

    I got this today. I already have a podium dd1 ps5 version so I wasn’t expecting much of an upgrade, aside from raw torque, which they hold at the same and I typically don’t have the torque up at 15 nm( usually around 12), the smoothness and details felt are a noticeable step up. Very happy with it and I love the gt rim. Kinda reminds me of the gt dd pro smoothness but with the dd1 raw power and just a step up overall. I have a feeling once fullforce comes in the picture it’ll be more of a game changer for most. I wouldn’t call it absolutely necessary if u have a dd1, until fullforce comes and we know more. If you have a dd pro or csl dd I would say yes definitely.

      @@rudyg323 I would say honestly it is an upgrade, still no word on full force, but I wouldn’t call it an essential upgrade because u already have a top end base. If u can sell it for a decent price (it’s not worth what it was because of the dd plus now) and have some money to burn id say grab it with either the gt rim or formula rim bundle. But if ur happy with what u got maybe stick with it for a bit longer until we get the full force update. Depends on your use case too, if you only use it maybe once a week or not too often I’d stay with the dd1. If u play daily and want the best for ps5, then I’d say it’s a stronger consideration. Either way tho u still have one of the best out there

    I can't wait for you to test a dinagic random callsigns! You know I love the dd+ but I got my hands on an ultimate from simagic and holy crap with the latest software it's insane. It feels so natural. You get all of the frequencies high low and mids you legit can feel the separation it's awesome. I want the most raw experience I can get and this one does that. The wheelspeed is inssne the snap and finding the limit of grip is better then I've ever felt. All of thede bases feel similiar but this one feels the least dampened with less built in inirtia so the wheel moves so freely and is so snappy and beautiful. The center forces are from the ffb instead of a dampening or inirtia dead weight feel. Feels like you can just find more and more grip when. Turning in and then when you go just a little to far boom snaps right back.
    I never thought I would find a wheelbase I gelled with so much and this is my base. We all have things we search for in feel. This was it for me. Now it does pick up on frequencies like the somucube so sometimes you can hear things but it just allows for more details to come through. Same thing simucube commented on stating that simucube actually utilizes it's coil whine for details. Luckily my simagic doesn't really have a coil whine you can hear it every once in a while pucking up on details but that's it. And me I don't want to reduce that with the smooth ess feature because I want that raw nice experience. It even picks up on the details when at high rpm it matches the cars noise but in feel not in sound but you can feel it matching up with the actual car and what it's doing in screen. At first I felt it may be unwanted but I found myself a day later wanting it when I tried reducing it so now I love that feeling haha. I have so much detail when going over curbs or in the grass I can feel it through my rig. I am in heaven!

    I suspect this new DD Extremes QR lite will suffer a similar issue as the DD Pro’s plastic QR when used at 8NM for more than 2 months. Have 3 friends with them that all began seeing the plastic QR developing play and cracks in them to the point they could no longer be used at 8NM without fear of further failure. 1 of them ended up using electrical tape to stop the play but lost the quick detach function, the others replaced with a new plastic QR but don’t use at 8NM and 1 bought a QR1 metal system. IMO for a “premium” product with such high NM capability Fanatec has setup customers to be fleeced by needing to update to metal QR2/pro. Also I fee you neglected to mention that on your value proposition piece.

    • @iPain3G
      @iPain3G 3 місяці тому +1

      The QR1 lite had play from the beginning and was produced with thinner and cheaper plastic and has tons of potential failure points.
      The QR2 lite on the other hand is way better constructed and uses a way stronger plastic. I thing the QR2 lite was designed to run on higher forces but needed more support on the wheelside. All the older wheel has only rudimentary QR support(only a couple of alignment points). This ugly monstrosity of a wheel you get in this bundle is the only wheel with recessed screw points. I think that is the main reason why the enable the full 15nm on only this ugly monstrosity. In the future we will see more wheels with QR2 lite and full 15nm support.

      QR2 lite snaps at about twice the torque at low speed, than the QR1.
      I'd imagine it requires even lass than half to snap qr1 lite at high speed torques (high power).
      I remember the QR1 snapped at about 100nm and the QR2 at about 200nm (yes I know that's very high) and both were plastic/lite variants

    • @GregoryShtevensh
      @GregoryShtevensh 5 днів тому

      ​@iPain3G power is the sum of revs×torque÷5252.
      So one way to potentially save it for longer, is to turn down speed of the wheel, which may be fine for circuit driving.
      For drifting you probably don't need 8nm anyway, but do need the speed.
      This is how you can limit power output. Without always lowering torque.
      It's power that breaks it, not just speed and not just torque... But both

  • @Snaggletooth68
    @Snaggletooth68 3 місяці тому

    Awesome video, thanks!
    I have a couple of questions, please:
    Context: I upgraded to this from a GT dd pro that I had already upgraded to QR2 on the base and to metal standard QR2 on the GT dd pro Wheel.
    Since the Gt DD pro wheel is nerfed to 8Nm and will never work at 15Nm even with a standard metal QR2, I am going to sell the GT DD PRO base, gt dd pro wheel and the 8Nm boost kit to offset the cost of the gt extreme bundle.
    Obviously, my first thought was to swap the GT DD PRO wheel standard metal QR2 for the QR2 lite on the GT extreme wheel before selling and sell the dd pro wheel with the QR2 lite instead (since it will never need anything more than that, the new owner should be stoked-i take awesome care of my gear).
    Questions:
    A) Before I start tinkering with the wheels and the QR2's I wanted to ask if there's anything wrong with doing this. The extreme wheel will work better with a standard metal qr2 instead of the QR2 lite, correct? I should not be afraid of swapping them?
    B) When I got the extreme bundle, I upgraded all firmware, drivers etc through the fanatec app on my laptop and I did all three wheels on the extreme dd+ base (CS, GT DDPRO and extreme wheels) to version 455 without a hitch. So, if I now swap the qr2's and put the metal standard on the extreme wheel and the lite on the gt dd pro wheel, I don't need to do the drivers and firmware again, correct?
    Thank you so much for bearing with me and for any help with this questions, which I would appreciate inmmensely!!!

  • @zakuraayame5091
    @zakuraayame5091 3 місяці тому

    Thank you for your honest opinions.
    What I understand from this video; the feedback is swift and communicative. The quality of the materials could be better. The functionality with GT7 should be better (and we could presume should improve over time ... with some hope). The functionality of the unit itself is not fully unlocked; a major feature they are touting aren't realized yet (like RTX release and Ray-Tracing).
    WhatI would like to understand is what does the torque values actually mean. How much force difference is a 5 Nm vs a 15 Nm? Does a 5 Nm feel like an old Lincoln that can be turned with a pinky-finger and 15 Nm like a manual steering rack?
    Haven't found a PC racing game that has captivated me.
    So for me, watching this video; the idea is to find the best wheel that will give me the best experience in GT7. Plan to get pedals, shifter, PSVR2. Family is excited. Looks like if I were to wait a year, supply would be there, kinks worked out, updates applied or ready to install, the extra feedback should be enabled, the wheel should communicate more with the game, etc. If not, I come back and see what is looking best at the time. Logitech/Fanatec seems like it would be the way to go now or then from early research. Being able to use all of it on PC if I find a spicy game would be a bonus. A new day Tokyo Extreme Racer type of game with tons of 80s, 90s, 00s,10s cars would for me be amazing. Old MR2s, RX7s, GSXs, with FK8 Type Rs, ITRs, CRZs ... the alphanumeric soup of cars would be fun to play, experiment, mod, etc. and I try to give myself a bit of that with the Tokyo track in GT7 :p
    Thanks again; smart to make a PS5 focused video as it popped in home page and the other might not of (as it hasn't).

      -5nm is twice the force of a g923. 15Nm is a workout. can be dangerous (torque can be lowered) In practical terms, whats special about this wheel its the relationship between force and speed. its really fast and precise. Its at the level of celebrated high end pc exclusive wheelbases. But this is not enough for a decision, IMO.
      >the idea is to find the best wheel that will give me the best experience in GT7.
      Both Logitech and Fanatec will provide really good immersion. While just a bit slower it does have, the Logitech is a bit above in depth of force feedback because of true force (check my video on it) but sadly loses out in terms of peripherals.
      hope this helps

      I have a thrustmaster t300rs which is at 3.9NW. IT'S powerful at start but having tried a DD once at 10Nw. I can say this.
      Low power like logitech or thrustmaster gets way easier to control over time. Making you wish you had more power to get a better feel of how the car is. Especially in turns. Makes no sense in curves when you don't get the heavy feel. A strong DD wheel will give just that.
      Imagine picking up a 200-400 gram weight and then 1kg. That's the difference.
      I think a 4nw is about 200-400gram of weight force and 12nw is about 1kg or 800gram. Do basically UR turning a steering wheel equal to that weight in turns that fights you back.

    A very good review with proper communication about the state Fanatec is in. Personally I didn’t had any delivery issues with them , not even my community members that order a product the last few months. But we can’t ignore that there are people that still waiting for there BF deal to be delivered.
    A few things a want to mention, for me vegan leather is a marketing term for fake leather but makes it look like it’s better for the invironment. In my perspective vegan leather isn’t leather, like vegan chicken isn’t chicken.
    The other thing is the QR2 lite, many people call it plastic and maybe it is still plastic. But plastic isn’t the same like years ago. It’s more a composite material. Manufacturers add other materials to it to make it stronger. Will this QR withstand 15Nm, like you said time will tell.
    Keep on making your content, for what it’s worth I’m enjoying it.
    Kind regards Chris.

    Hate the wheel but super happy i got the dd+ best wheel base ive ever used. Gonna use simagic neo with it 😉 bur for now my mclaren gt3 is doing just fine with it! Its seriously better then my 15nm alpha simagic. Like it has blown my mind this has that oldschool fanatec feel best in class and it has that raw feeling the strength in grip, it finslly holds around long corners. It has inssne insane detail. Details I didnt even know were in some games. It feels like asetek had a baby with simucube. Has that tight homd simucube has and that detail the asetek has.
    When full force comss out I cant imagine how game changing that will be. Its already as fast with the drtail as asetek at 6.2/6.3nm/ms. So imagine the extra detail with full force 😉
    Most i know are upgrading from the dd1 and even the dd2. The dd+ feels heavier in ffb then the dd1 because of the loss of detail and dead spots on the dd1.

    my man... Comfort Hard.. lock the diff and if really needed understeer the F out of the car and you will become DK in no time. The camber and toe logic is a bit different from laamepaad to wheel so i will not go into that but im pretty sure if i can do it - simracers can XD Also go into time attack practice or something and just take time. and some coffee or whatever calms your nerves. i suggest suzuka east in the evening with some lenny ibizare. .

      ​@@randomcallsign have you even tried Hard enough XD
      I promise you its doable. And weirdly rewarding. Hard to explain. Took me some days of fiddling with the setup on same car/track but its not that hard, realy.
      Just camber.nation the front a bit, lower the back voila done. The only difference is less camber with wheels, more camber on gamepad - and youd probably need to lower the default sensitivity for like 1 to smoothen the inputs while you wiggle your thumb for example. Ive seen top10 world challenge drifters use the d.pad for steering and they were smoother than me on a wheel so... what im trying to say, ive been here for a while.
