PWTS Firmware 660 released - UPDATE 2

We just released a new frimware for the Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel.

 

Please note that we can only recommend that you install the firmware if you experience problems. Updating the firmware of any device is always a risk if the update is interrupted somehow. Therefore we cannot take responsibility if something goes wrong.

Changes:

 

PW new driver version 104 available

Changes:

Fixed issue: Slow reactions of the sliders in the game controller test page

Fixed issue: Crash during vibration test

 

You find the drivers in the support pages on www.Fanatec.com

 

Testers for Ultimate Wheel Comparison Wanted

We would like to make a community test comparison between the following wheels:

 

PWTS full manual now available

http://www.fanatec.de/html/index.php?id=3117&lang=en

 

We just uploaded the full manual of the PWTS. Please make sure you look for the PWTS manual and not the PWT manual.

 

German language will be availble in week 1 and other languages will follow soon afterwards.

 

Tech Tip: PW all versions: Shaking in GT5

Some customers complain that the wheel is shaking on a straight road.

Solution:

  • Make sure you  have sensivity set to OFF = 900°
  • Reduce the FF to 66 or 33.

 

The GT5 Demo is much better adapted to our wheel than GT5:P and therefore the shaking is almost non-existant if you follow these rules.

 

 

PW driver 103 pre-release

We have a new driver version available. This version is not fully tested yet.

 Changes:

  • Windows 7 tested
  • No more center calibration function for wheels which are supporting the calibration by hot key.This avoids a conflict between both calibration methods.
  • Reduced demand for system ressources. This increases the games framerate in several games like GT legends significantly.
    (you can test this with www.fraps.com )
 

PWTS 900° detection in FM3

We discovered a strange phenomenom with the wheel rotation.

FM3 works fine and detects the wheel as a 900° wheel if you have selected 900 in the SEN setting of the Tuning menu and if you start the Xbox console with the on/offf button on the console.

 

How to install the shifters on any cockpit

There is a great mod made by  ron7 about how to attach the Porsche wheel shifters to cockpits like the Playseat etc.

It looks solid and made with standard components and without the need of special DIY skills.

Check it out!

Edit: If you like to have it more simple you can buy the RennSport Wheel Stand Shifter adapter and just bolt it to anything.

"Wow-I score this wheel 472%!

 

SRT Wheel shootout - Fanatec beats them all

Here is part 2 of the shootout between

  • 911 Turbo S Pure
  • 911 GT3 RS
  • G27
  • Driving Force Gt
  • F430

Another great victory for our wheels!

My concern is that nobody understood that this is a comparison about the wheels itself without considering the pedals.

Please let me know if this was clear to you after watching it and if you would be interested about the opinion of SRT what complete package (incl pedals) would be the best at the moment.
