Gameplay Review: Fanatec Porsche Carrera 911 Wheel FW681 + GT5 Prologue, Dirt 2, NFS Shift

[cestmoi176]

One of the best reviews on youtube. You come to point and never stutter as some reviewers do. You listed everything about this wheel/pedal/shifter combo chronologically.

:)

[experiencebg]

What to buy this or g25 ?

[garde2k10]

i was looking on the fantec website and saw this wheel very cheap looks great but i only have xbox will it work on it

[thapen51]

@garde2k10 no this wheel doesn't work on the xbox however the gt2 and gt3 wheels do.

[vagostwo]

so if u let the wheel ,while playing dirt, will it move like crazy?

[vagostwo]

when i first tried a logitech dfgt on gt5 it was too hard to control the car cause the power of the feedback was at 100%,do u think that this wheel would give a good amount of feedbackclose to dfgt??this will be my first feedback wheel :P

[Y0UNGNIN0]

Hey man, do you have some problems with this wheel ? they said that pedals are shity :/ i want to buy it cause on Fanatec.de this wheel is not so expensive and i'll buy shifters paddles too, what do you have to do to have the good setup for the wheel on gt5 ??

[RevenantRemix]

I'm only here for Dirt 2

[marfa233]

Really good in-depth review.

[PeterHope2]

could you please let me know if shift and dirt 2 are the xbox or ps3 versions please?

ive heard the H pattern shifter and clutch  do NOT work on xbox versions, and i dont wanna buy them just to find out i was right :(

[jaguarjay13]

Are you able to put the gear shifter on the left of the wheel? So you have like a right hand drive car?

[anast4ever13]

@jaguarjay13 yes

@PeterHope2 this wheel is not compatible at all with XBOX 360

[vicxon100]

does it have a led display that indicates the speed/gear?

[iTzadde]

dont use a sticksift in dirt ;( padels ftw

[1992sweden]

hi, i have the same wheel. When i adjust the settings on the wheel, ff 100 and dri to 5, if you steer to one way, the wheel start to move itself left and right, could you check if your wheel rejact the same. Great driving btw

[vfend1234]

are u using that for a 360 or ps3.

[JSFER2]

@vfend1234 gt5 and this wheel are only for ps3, so ps3

[qdogg54]

great review just ordered mine yesterday. what cockpit setup are u using?

[MotoXrider237]

forget prices for a second Which do you preffer the g-25 or this one if they were the same price? great vids!

[TheRottenChicken966]

dude you have both Xbox and PS3?? what couldn't decide?? XD

[whippy107]

Excellent review, thank you very much!

[EmptySoulRSR]

Amazing Review, man! :)

[KillaPillaP]

wait.. does this thing now have 4 buttons (left side 2 and right side 2) or do these 2 little button looking... buttons (lol) also count as.. buttons?

[EmptySoulRSR]

@KillaPillaP: It has 4 Buttons on every side ;)

[KillaPillaP]

@EmptySoulRSR Well thats impossible..

Im talking about the 911 carrera wheel (the blue one in the video)

cant believe it has 4 buttons on ever side (3 sides)

[IMrIMike]

I would like to buy an PS3 with Gt5 and the 911 Carrera wheel,but i see in many videos that there is a lot of time between the turning the wheel in real and the turning the wheel in game.Is it so like youre playing Shift with a very bad computer or react it immeadiately when your turning your wheel?

(sorry for English)

[eGabeleXxX]

Puma Fluxion? :))

[CuttingEdgeDigitalTV]

Very nice review, one of the best I've seen for this product. It's amazing that you can give such an informative and detailed review and still focus on driving too. Ready to order the GT3 w/CSP today. I may wait on the new CS shifter.

[ChimeranPotRoast]

@CuttingEdgeDigitalTV Yeah I agree. Great multi-tasking work there!

[MsPeto19]

This wheel for that low driving -.-''

[ralexh11]

just picked this up for 240 with the rennsport wheel stand and carbon fiber paddle shifters. amazing deal on fanatecs site for the wheel + stand for just $200!

[otacon1000]

@ralexh11 that's because this wheel is being discontinued

[ralexh11]

@otacon1000 really it is? i know they are coming out with new wheels but no budget wheels like this one. i wonder if they will have a new budget wheel

[otacon1000]

@ralexh11 ya i'm wondering the same thing, I"m gonna try to get the carrera while I still can

[scottvoltagefr30]

how long did it take for shipping i mean how long did it take for you to get it?

[tripshot54]

@MFDIF I'm thinking about getting one of these, how much is the shipping on it. Would this be the steering wheel you suggest at this price point or cheaper?

[otacon1000]

does gt5, not prologue, recognize the full 900 degrees of rotation this wheel has or does it only recognize around 540

[TacticalVtrn]

What settings are you using in game for nfs shift? i've got my deadzone set to around 30, but I'm still getting a lot of back and forth sway on straightaways.

Nice review, and good driving.

[pcnazz]

Hi , thanks for your two Fanatec Carrera Wheel reviews . You have had this wheel set up for a while now , how is holding up for you ???

[atromboneplaya]

How is the table clamp that comes with the wheel?

[otacon1000]

how long did it take for the wheel to get shipped to you

[mustangdocter]

what systems is this wheel for and whats the price for the whole thing wheel pedals and shifter

[123cocojojo]

do the buttons light up. If they dont how do u know which ones are which

[HDaviator]

Can you do a review of this wheel with Richard Burns Rally? The best rally sim ever made. ;)

[sucramtube]

How well does this wheel work with GT5 (the final game, not prologue)?

[thepolk1]

have you come up with a way to mount the shifter down like in a real car

[tdi22ly]

Hey, I also use the same wheel and was wondering what in-game and wheel settings you used for this demonstration? any help would be nice.

thanks

[Dragonhug]

Thanks for your review, it was very well done and in depth. I had already decided to buy this wheel in the very near future, but your review has reassured my of my decision. Seems like a great place to start with Sim Racing equipment.

[bianco996]

Hi, the wheel is on its way to my place, I just wanted to know , i have the firmware update downloaded already, once i get my wheel how do i install it ?

thanks

[bRitttttx33]

i just bought the carrier wheel ....is ur wheel blue or does it just look like it?

[Rehmat525]

there is no trianglebutton on 360.

where can i get this wheel?

[PaniniWM]

Very cool I will buy a Porsche Wheel too

[killoradorider9]

how is the durability with the settings turned up like that

[wiiman8910]

xbox arcade..really

[skerkilla1987]

how long the wheel take to come

[GamerJock]

@skerkilla1987 mine came in two days, but they shipped from about 50 miles away from my house. The most it should take is about 10 days.

[paeffnaeff]

very great review, thanks alot =)

[TheVGplayer1]

what settings you use for Dirt2 and nfs shift???

[Stashmyash]

Mate. Y'might want to de-interlace next time you encode your video. Great review tho. :)

[kaleigh79]

nice review.. thanks alot.. this helped me lots in making my decision.. was looking at the GT3 V2.. do you know if the GT3 V2 comes with pedal?.. would you say the 911 Carrera is better then the Driving Force GT? Im steering more towards the Fanatec.. Pun intended.. lol oh also how long did it take to get to you?

[MFDIF]

@kaleigh79 GT3V2 does not come with pedals in the basic package. There is a package you can buy with them though. I would say the Carrera has an advantage over the DFGT with the clutch and h-gate shifter.

[kaleigh79]

@MFDIF GREAT.. thanks so much for the response and help on choosing my first wheel :) Merry Christmas to me.. lol

[northernaids]

that clicking... omg..

[prodhrider]

how much is that wheel? looks super nice!

[MFDIF]

@prodhrider $160.

[esquioz]

@MFDIF

For this price . Does it came with H-pattern Gear and paddle ?

[Dragonhug]

@esquioz You do get the shifter AND pedals for this price ($159.99 US) and there are some paddle shifters behind the wheel itself, although they are a bit short. You can buy larger paddle shifters to screw into the smaller built in ones as an upgrade.

[EAsportz1]

@MFDIF do u have to pay tax? i heard its already counted as 160$ reply!

[Xzibitfreek]

@EAsportz1 well i payed 166€ for it

[TheRottenChicken966]

@MFDIF and cheaper than other unknown companies wheels, who make it with clutch and H shifter, like TSW or A1...those cost sometimes more than 1000$!!!

[Aloke234]

Nice driving there!

[MrMikeHouse]

is there ah lcd on the wheel

and are the buttons with lights ?

[MFDIF]

@MrMikeHouse there is an LCD on the wheel to go through the settings, but the buttons on this wheel is not illuminated.

[MrJackejr]

@MFDIF Do i have to buy the thing that holds it with the table??

[franzgrabner]

which wheelstand do you use?

[MFDIF]

@franzgrabner Playseat Evo...you can see it in my other reviews.

[Xzibitfreek]

would you say its a good steering wheel or recommend it ?

[MFDIF]

@Xzibitfreek a lot of options out there, i do think in the price ranges it's the one to have though.

[Xzibitfreek]

@MFDIF another question:

some german testers said, its very loud, is that right ?

[PrickityPrick]

@Xzibitfreek the beta version was very loud, this one is belt driven so you can still feel it and hear it a bit

[Xzibitfreek]

@PrickityPrick ok thx dude, its just i ordered one and i hope it wont be that loud like my old MOMO racing one

[Wills2084]

@MFDIF so you would say this is better then the DFGT?

[djred1980]

Nice review.. good work,, a.k.a GTDrivers_DJred

[TheJONNYfern]
