CSP Tuning kit delayed

Although the production of the Tuning kit for the Clubsport pedals happened at the same time we were only able to ship it by UPS to USA.

For some starnge reason UPS refused to ship the Tuning kit to Europe due to the lubricants inside.

This means that we now had to take out the Tuning kit from our EU webshop until we can be sure when it will arrive. We probably have to use seafreight. At this point we cannot give an estimate how long it will take.

 

PWTS Tech tips at SimHQ (VERY detailed!)

A big thanks to "Chunx" over at SimHQ which is a great source of simracing info.

He provides an incredible detailed list of how to adjust, fine-tune and modify your

  • Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel
  • Clubsport pedals
  • Sequential shifter
  • Wheel Stand

He is also suggesting some recommended settings for several games but of course this is always a matter of personal preference.

This info is very useful for all PWTS owners.

PWC review by insidesimracing.tv

Darin and Shaun from insidesimracing.tv made a great and very detailed review about the revised and final Porsche 911 Carrera wheel (PWC).

To my surprise, Saun liked it a lot more than I expected and declares it his favourite Fanatec wheel.

While the PWGT3RS is dedicated to the PC simracers and the PWTS is still the top of the line multi platform wheel, the PWC is targeted to the serious PS3 and PC racer which wants all the essential features but is on a smaller budget.

These are the changes we have implemented in the last year:

 

PWTS production has come to an end

We finished the production of the Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel after exactly 10.000 units.

During it's very short life cycle we made some changes after we found some issues on the very first units but other than that the production went smoothly as planned.

Many people has asked us what will come next but we have not decided yet to make another Xbox 360 wheel as this is a very expensive and complicated process and the market is limited.

 

911 Carrera wheel production to start soon

I am currently in China and arranging the production of the new 911 Carrera wheel.

The wheel has been totally revised in the last months and we added a lot of new features which will be shown in the next episode of insidesimracing.tv

The production will start very soon and once the wheels are on the way we will make them available in our webshop.

As soon as the new review is online, I will post all the new features and pricing.

 

ClubSport Shifter: Initial Specs

Thanks for all the great input guys! This helped a lot and I am happy to tell you that we will be able to deliver almost everything you asked for. Here are the initial specs of the CSS:

Material: Full aluminium with some steel parts

Mounting options: There will be screw inserts on the bottom. We will make an adapter for the Clubsport table clamp and the RennSport Wheel Stand.

Amount of gears: 7+1

Sequential option: We will implement it but only if this is not a compromise. We have a solution which could work very well in both modes

 

NEW: PWTS Ultimate Edition announced

The production of the PWTS will end in April and the last units of the Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel will be available in a special offer which includes the PWTS Pure and the CSP at a special price of 399,90 EUR/USD.

The availabilit is limited, of course .

The owners of this version will get access to a special Firmware version which will have the following new features:

 

NEW: Racing controller for Apple's iGame console announced - Feedback wanted!

We are proud to announce that Fanatec is making the official controller for the new iGame console which has been finally confirmed today and will be released in early 2011.

Although the new console has more power than any other console on the market, it is a portable device. Therefore we designed a new wireless Force Feedback handheld controller with motion sensors. 

We also make use of iGame's spectatcular head mounted 3D display.

 

ClubSport HandBrake (CSHB) : Feedback wanted

After getting so much helpful and great comments about the Clubsport Shifter, I decided to let you knwo that we are also working on a handbrake for simracing.

BTW: Can somebody from the US explain why you call it "emergency brake"? I cannot think of a more stupid action than activating the handbrake in a critical situation.

So please give me your comments on:

 

Clubsport Shifter (CSS): Feedback wanted

We are currently working on a Clubsport version of our shifter. We got a lot of requests from customers and we also got various comments in several forums how the shifter should look like.

I would like to channel  these comments into one thread and use our great community to give us feedback on hoe you like the CSS to look like.

Please give me your comments on:
