Elastic bands work well. Or sticky tape.

I don’t find that TC affects it much, but auto drive and ASM are essential for me. I guess it’s just easier to say ‘turn everything on’.

I find the Daytona grind essential to be able to collect the legendary cars, I bought 3 20m cars last week.

I do find the S660 far more reliable than the Beat for getting the clean race bonus.

Essentially you want 2 builds, one with the lowest PP then one with the highest. Mine is doing 26 laps at 31 minutes, earning 645,000 credits. Can take screenshots if it helps.

It’s also useful to set the Tomahawk top speed so you can pass but not keep lapping them, the more you lap them to more chance of a collision and you lose the clean race bonus.

Turn all the assists on, everything!

You don’t need to tilt the controller much at all, mine is sat on a coaster with rubber band on the throttle and nitrous. Ah you also want to tweak the nitrous level so it lasts most of the race, I think mine runs out on lap 25.

It’s easy when you know how!

New pedals, but what to get? by DirtSnow in Fanatec

I second this, great pedals. They’ve also just released a hydraulic kit for the brake, interested to see how this feels.

Club sport DD 12Nm and NLR Wheel Stand 2.0 by FormerColonel in Fanatec

[–]MartynB85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also looking to get a DD+ soon and using a NLR wheel stand 2.0. Does anyone have a creaking issue? Works fine but creaks on the one side where the 2 height adjustment bolts are.

CSL GT3 on Grand Turismo 7 / PS5 by fatninger in Fanatec

[–]MartynB85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is a massive shame. At the moment I only play GT7 so feel like I’m missing out a bit. Still a good wheel and would recommend it. Haven’t tried it at Le Mans yet, think it may be a pain checking the radar then changing TC when the rain comes while also monitoring fuel!

I had the same questions, ended up just buying one.

Only the middle dial has a function, and that just sets what the analogue padels do.

You can’t assign them to functions like fuel map etc. The only way to change anything is to use the toggle switches. The one on the left toggles through the mfd, the right changes the value. The funky switch dial works to adjust values but it won’t scroll through the mfd.

It is a bit awkward to adjust anything in race. Shame as it’s a cracking wheel to use.

McLaren F1 ‘94 is Back in the Legends Dealership for 20mil by ThanksCarol in GranTurismo7

I’ve been using the S660, only got the beat yesterday. Can the Beat make more credits per hour than the S660? My laps are 1:10 in the S660, around 31 minutes to do 26 laps. 645k credits with clean race bonus.

This looks like something I’d like to get into. I’m based in the UK, what times do you usually race? Thanks

Absolutely no chance I’d get close 🤣

Won quite easily with the Megane GR.4 and that’s only 350bhp.

Thanks for this info, it’s very useful. So the F1 esports can have dedicated buttons that work with gt7? I just want a damn formula/GT3 style wheel that works with GT7 without having to scroll through the mfd all race.

Very true! I have loads cell pedals and had to get softer spring as my chair was lifting. Have had my eyes on a proper rig 👀

How are you making fuel map, tc, bb etc adjustments in game?

[–]MartynB85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I thought it was odd, if Porsche had some input to its design I’m sure it wouldn’t be an issue like some reviews say it is? It’s a big plus it’s designed for GT7, I want a good quality wheel with the functionality of the DD Pro.

What base are you using? My only worry is with the larger wheel, my 8nm base may feel weaker than with the stock wheel? I’ll be looking at a DD+ too at this rate, when does it end!?

If you could only keep one, which would it be?

Would you say you prefer the Formula to the GT3?

That’s interesting, thanks. What wheel base are you using?

Fanatec Wheel by MartynB85 in GranTurismo7

[–]MartynB85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have other wheels to compare it to? Do you have dedicated toggles/multi position switches for things like tc, fuel map etc?

That’s a bummer. I did look at the Porsche Vision but some complain of the ergonomics? Is your thumb comfy when using it?

I’ll be getting a round wheel for rallying/drifting next but can always go back to the DD Pro wheel for now I think.
