BEST GRAN TURISMO SETUP? - Fanatec GT DD Extreme Review


Will at Boosted Media legit covers the concerns of Fanatec delivery and concerns of why the QR lite can now all of a sudden work for 15nm holding TQ which means it will boost up to around 17-18 peak most likely and not fall apart. 😞I like Boosted Media because they tend to say it like it is, but did he know about the new wheel coming? Why yes he did. Will mentions he had a review copy 3 months ago. This also means Thomas at Fanatec lied again. What is up with this company? Is it all the overhead of being the sponsor for live racing in GT4, GT3, and of course all the sponsorship they pay to be in all the sim racing games? Well of course this contributes to it. 

When you buy Fanatec you support all their endeavors in real-world racing and others. There is nothing wrong with this and typical business in the motorsports world. However, with, "I would say maybe stretching themselves thin" there is not much room for delivery mistakes like this Nov 2023 and for that matter, this seems to happen every black Friday with Fanatec.

Random Callsign mentions the same thing in his YouTube video here: 

So what gives at least for the QR? Sounds like they think everyone is stupid? Will Fanatec address this QR lite issue on their website? Did they sucker you into buying a $99.95 QR when really a $59.95 would mechanically work? 
Let me know your thoughts below.

Running a Racing in the new RFactor2 Build 930




I must admit I hadn't picked up RFactor2 since the release of the Honda NSX. I always loved the physics of the game, but had issues with the graphics not looking all that to me. Plus somehow I gained a issue where my screen wouldn't go full screen anymore and didn't feel like re-installing RFactor2 just to play what was becoming a buggy sim for me. So I picked up other Sim games to play.

Well Build 930 changed that for me. It peaked my interest with its host of new features like new UI menu, tire models and a ton of bug fixes. Somehow the graphics look even better to me as well especially the rain. Maybe I finally got my graphics settings down. The new menu system is refreshing and has allot easier navigation. Especially love they ditched of the rotary style when selecting cars. Drove me insane! (No pun intended) I also like the bigger replay window when you back out to the menu while in game play.

I noticed the cars seem so much more stable to handle that I could easily identify what was going on with the car. Really makes drifting the Corvette ZR1 a blast! I also love the wheel lock up feeling under heavy breaking that I get thru my Fanatec CSW. That's nothing totally new, but I forgot how good the Physics where and they feel even better now with the new tire model.

There is loads of new features in build 930 that will keep me busy for awhile relearning the cars limits. Check out some game play below showing off the rain and notice how nicely the track drys out on the race line and puddles on the curbing. BTW get off the dryer race line and you notice quickly. ;)
