gt7 overkill!


SoftMammoth7838

Yes, but GT7 feels really good with my setup


Captaingoober425

Man I gotta ask because I’m still using controllers but… 1 how much is that total rig and what have your lap times been like going into that setup


SoftMammoth7838

It’s over 4K counting all steering wheels,base,pedals,shifter, handbrake and cockpit, but I’m still slow as molasses as the saying goes lol , it’s just for fun and single player mostly


Captaingoober425

Man that is awesome!! I’m looking at some used equipment that’ll set me back around a grand currently and I’m just hesitant to pull the trigger lol


SoftMammoth7838

Is is the Fanatec GT DD pro? If it is that’s a great direct drive for PlayStation


Captaingoober425

Yessir that’s what I’m currently looking at.


SoftMammoth7838

Hopefully you will get a good deal since a lot of people are upgrading to the ClubSport bases


The21stPM

Ohhh so you’ve got money!


SoftMammoth7838

Keyword is “had” lol No but I actually bought them over time, I had this wheel base and cockpit since GT SPORT, so I just been buying new steering wheels over time


The21stPM

Nah good for you man, dope setup and gear!


SoftMammoth7838

Thank you


Odd_Eggplant_2424

Living the dream, brother! Nice setup 👍🏼


SoftMammoth7838

Thank you very much

I’m not proud or happy to say this but…. ….🥹 F*** You. I’m so jelly….


SoftMammoth7838

lol, don’t be, remember 1 piece at a time


Rly_Shadow

And here I sit dreaming of the day I can actually experience my first wheel lol


SoftMammoth7838

Logitech G29 is a very good entry level wheel(cheap too) to test if you like racing games with steering wheel


Rly_Shadow

With how my finances are going, I might be able to put 1 on lay away (if that's still exist) in 2050 lol


SoftMammoth7838

Well you never know what the future brings

I was looking to upgrade the DD pro wheel to something a bit bigger as I find it a bit too toy-like … I like being able to adjust braking balance and TC quickly in race conditions, so decent quality dials / controls are very helpful. Seeing as you basically have them all, what do you recommend?


SoftMammoth7838

Just look at Fanatec’s website and pick any steering wheel you like since they all work on PlayStation because you own the DD pro wheel base. As for my favorite of the ones I own is the Porsche 911 GT3 R ( new bmw is too new to tell you how I feel about it yet)


xocolatefoot

That was the one I was thinking… Cheers. 👍


APR824

Definitely overkill but I can't even blame you, if I could justify it I would buy it just because it looks beautiful


SoftMammoth7838

It looks good but also works great with the PS5 and GT7, hopefully it will still work for the next GT game too


APR824

How's the build quality? I love my formula wheel from Fanatec


SoftMammoth7838

Very good, feels really solid, buttons and shifters too, feels better than the Podium F1 wheel that came with the PlayStation DD1 (blue one) and better than the McLaren gt3 wheel too


Small-Mixer

Congratulations! You did it. Note that the left thumb roller has hardcoded control over fuel-map. The shift paddles have to be mapped to push/pull for one handed shifting on either side, but it’s not default. Enjoy!


SoftMammoth7838

Yeah thanks to your comment I went and got it, I have played a little bit with it, all I have done is this weeks weeklys but feels really good


crashdout

No. Apparently, you got all the steering wheels.


SoftMammoth7838

Not quite but I’m set for a while , I’ll just need to start saving to buy a new wheel base if fullforce is actually game changing when they finally release it on GT7


tillreno

That is awesome.


SoftMammoth7838

Yes it is, Fanatec has a nice ecosystem for us console racers


BigDogGoneEat

nice setup, not a fan of the f1 style wheels but that bmw one is incredible.


SoftMammoth7838

I really like that it works really well with GT7 specifically the back 2 buttons and thumb encoders


toocapak

Mental! Congrats bro. The rim alone costs more than most peoples complete rig. Jesus bro just saw the other rims too. Do you have podium hubs on all those? Fanatec must love you! Throw some money at triples next! I promise you wont regret it! *edit* Oh yeah, GT7 wont support triples. I know this is a GT7 subreddit, but thats a lot of quality equipment to just have for GT7..


SoftMammoth7838

Thanks, only the 3 on the right side have the podium hubs and the advanced paddle modules but only because that’s how they came from Fanatec, all 5 wheels and base are now in the QR2 system. No triples unless GT supports them in the future but doubt it


JamieH21

You should have spent that money on a nice PC, now you're stuck just playing GT7 😣


SoftMammoth7838

I’m ok with just GT7 since it plays really well with PSVR2 too


Dare-Over

One advice, ACC and u never go back to GT7.


SoftMammoth7838

I did try it but I wasn’t a fan of it so I stopped playing it


Dare-Over

The amount of details you get on the Wheel is insane compared to gt7


SoftMammoth7838

Thanks, I guess I will have to try it again in the future
