Fanatec does not have a separate booth but we actually are very present at the GamesCom in Cologne which starts today until the 23th of august.

You can test 3 Porsche 911 Turbo S wheels Clubsport edition with Forza MotorSport 3 at the Microsoft booth. All are mounted on RennSport Cockpits with Triple monitors. (Hall 6, Booth A011)

Today we start shipping the Porsche 911 GT3 RS Clubsport edition from our US warehouse.

EU customers have to be a bit more patient as we are still waiting for the Clubsport pedals to get through customs. We will ship all open EU orders next week.

One of your community members has made a great guide how to invert your CSPs.

Please note that you can do this mod without losing the warranty if you do not cause any damage during this conversion. The mechanical skills needed to do it are quite low.

Due to the upcoming internal competition of the 911 Turbo S wheel we decided to reduce the price of the original 911 Turbo wheel to 249,95 USD.

This wheel is only available in the US for now but we will import the wheel to Europe later this year as it will be a good solution for PlayStation owners who do not care about the Xbox360 and prefer the wireless connectivity and the increased compatibility of the PWT on the PlayStation 3.

There was a cool event at the Nürburgring this Wednesday to introduce the "Face of Forza" in Europe Natacha Gachnang.

She is a very successful F2 driver and she obviously had fun to take the journalists on a lap around the GP track with an Audi R8 V10. 

She told me that only one journalist asked her to slow down :)

Her cousin Sebastian, the Toro Rosso F1 driver, was there as well and we had some little competition between us on the FM3 tracks. The final race was interrupted as he had to leave to the airport so he owes me a revanche.

I just received the arrival dates of the ships bringing the new GT3RS and CSP shipment to US and EU.

EU:

PWGT3RS: August 4th

CSP: August 11th

US:

PWGT3RS: July24th

CSP: July 30th

Please note that it can take 1 to 3 weeks until everything goes through customs and arrives at the customer destination.

Several users reported a bug in our driver since very early versions.

It only occurs on a few games and not on all PCs. But we were never able to reproduce this bug so we cannot solve it. It just does not happen on our test PCs.

So we need your help to solve this driver bug in case it occurs on your PC.

Symptom: After hitting a curb and going back on the road, the shaking of the curbs does not stop until you hit another curb again

Please answer the following questions:

There were some bugs in the FF protocol in ver 097 which caused the FF to stop.

We also  solved the issue with hanging sliders of the pedals in the tes tab.

This driver has undergone a complete rework of the installation routine and we made several bugfixes regarding the following issues:

• installation problems
• problems to detect the correct wheel
• rFactor plug in issues 

Note: install the new rfactor .dll before you install the driver.

Please let me know if you still have issues. Thanks.

Attached you find an update porgram to update your CSP with newfirmware.

The new firmware has these improvements:

• Select the amount of brake dead zone (down to 0)
• Broader range of adjustment possibility on the brake with the potentiometer

UPDATE: The 64 bit version is not working and we are trying to fix this issue.
