The difference between this and other wheels that this will be the first base with the new chip and full PS5 compatibility. I don't know what's the difference as I don't own a PS (never did), but this can cause delays with the validating by Sony imo.
And there will be a clubsport line GT rim, that was shared on reddit from some fanatec reports.
The thing is, if that’s really the case, why they mentioned that DDpro users won’t use the GT wheel anymore is that it’s limited to 8nm. For DD+ it’s limiting the base and that’s not how it should be. I think I’ve seen it a couple of months ago they are building another sturdier GT wheel with better material, but I hope that’s not what caused the delay
I saw a bunch of DD Pro wheels for sale publicly that people didn’t use. I didn’t understand until I asked some of the people selling them. I was told by multiple sellers that they upgraded to normal Fanatec wheels because the one Sony designed was cheap plastic that bends under loads. I’m sure that causes those annoying popping sounds. Probably why Fanatec limited the Nm on those so they didn’t possibly break on a stronger DD base.
I don't think it has anything to do with the new wheel. We have seen pics of the new wheel, it was in the expo recently and it's the new CS line for the CS DD and DD+. It was also expected to be announced before Christmas but with all the mess maybe they decided to postpone. The point is that the wheel would not hold any importance in the security suit, that's on the wheelbase. And I seriously doubt that either Fanatec or Sony would have caused this fiasco for themselves just to buy time for a new wheel..
The delay isn't because of the new GT rim, but since it seems we are not getting our wheelbases before the new rim and bundle are available, I wouldn't mind the Clubsport GT rim as a possible compensation choice for the ever ongoing delay. When the new bundle was leaked, I was a bit annoyed but thought oh well, at least I'll get to enjoy my DD+ for some time before that bundle would have been available. Now, it's really starting to bug me. GT7 is the main reason I went with the DD+, and had I the choice to get the bundle, I surely would have.
But here's another behind the scenes theory: what if Sony isn't giving the green light before the implementation of FullForce on GT7 is done? Could be a part of the licence terms that the product needs to be feature-complete on the PS platform before the final approval.
after I should have received my order dd1qr2 after 273 Dec 2023. lots of mail no answer only delays even though it was in stock handed over for shipping then there was a bug in their system then the product was not available. anyway opened paypal twist got the money back bought simagic, extreme value for money And you who ordered dd+ don't understand buy simagic they have an adapter called sim cortex which is only made for simagic's stuff works for ps4/5. if fanatec doesn't improve they will go under especially when they do this.

There shouldn't be any new information because Peter above from Australia just had a call with Fanatec, and they still don't know when the license will be given.
I'm afraid all we can do now is wait. If the license is given, they should announce it and start deliver items immediately. Before that, nothing new will happen.
there are many variants that work for different brands but simagic has worked specifically with this company and it only works on their products, and it should not drop any ffb from pc to console.
They will do a new GT Rim for more torque. The "old" GT wheel is limited to 8nm and there won't be ClubSport bundles with it.
But I don't think the wheel rim is causing the delays, they will ship the bases as soon as possible imo and the new GT rim with the bundles will arrive later.
It’s been on the dd page since they started shipping it. So that is a good sign the dd+ has an update on the page. That plus all the false hope from the guy in Australia who got the false shipping info, lead me to believe we could soon see the dd+ shipping sooner rather than later.
the other two things I’m going to be keeping an eye out for, tell tell signs, will be, more information in the downloads tab and the bigger part, when the Japanese site offers the dd+ we know it’s gonna be shipping.
Thanks for sharing again, I've seen it already but seeing that again help me remind how much I want it. I mean a 32cm leather wheel without that stupid rev lights sticking out of it, with as many buttons as you'll need, and a beautiful screen ? Shivers down my spine.
Unfortunately, I'm convinced that it will only come in a DD+ Bundle (called DD Extreme as shown in the picture above), so I will have to sell one of my ball to the second hand market to get it.
As I'm not without a setup to be able to race at the moment, I'll give them to the end of this month to give us an actual shipping date. Without it, I'll cancel my order and switch to Simagic.
thanks alot for sharing these Infos, that makes alot more sense to me now. It looks like $ony are testing these new Wheels together with the DD+ in combination with $onys new SecurityChip.
Fanatec, it is now February. You need to provide some target dates for delivery. We are over 100 days into this preorder and over 50 days since the original availability date. At the very least, you need to set some milestone dates for updates.
Does anyone know if they will sell this wheel separately? The original one wasn’t.. and if this wheel is good I can’t see too many hitting private sales. Everyone of us that preordered the dd+ would be even more fucked… PLEASE FANATEC if this wheel is not sold separately I hope you make it available for us that are waiting for the damn base
As you can see, the refined so called advanced formula steering wheel will also be bundled with DD+. I believe that it will be possible to buy it separately. But for the new CS GT Extreme rim, I'm almost sure it will only be bundled, which is the only reason why I didn't preorder DD+. I have more than a couple of formula wheels and I will definitely buy a new one, let's call it V3, and I count that there will be an option to buy only formula rim, but I think GT Extreme would only be in a bundle with DD+, just like GT SW Pro.

Any news? We are still waiting patiently...

Feb 26, 2024 is the current date for expected, but that still depends for Sony
Sony probably enjoy the DD+ gear so much at they test center that they forget tell every day for Fanatec "go ahead"
Interesting approach. Has somebody already some experience compared to a native ps5 solution? (Especially for ACC)
When you look now under the DD+ you see a download section is there, so it will not be that long anymore lads!
there are many variants that work for different brands but simagic has worked specifically with this company and it only works on their products, and it should not drop any ffb from pc to console.
Hi Loannis,
where did you saw that Pics ffrom the new Clubsport GT rim?
I think the same bro, implementation of FullForce must be done before shipping :/
They will do a new GT Rim for more torque. The "old" GT wheel is limited to 8nm and there won't be ClubSport bundles with it.
But I don't think the wheel rim is causing the delays, they will ship the bases as soon as possible imo and the new GT rim with the bundles will arrive later.
it’s only a mount that for both DD & DD+ .
was it on the DD page before today or has it just been added to both ?
DD was there before and the DD+ is newly added. iet's see what's gonna happen
It’s been on the dd page since they started shipping it. So that is a good sign the dd+ has an update on the page. That plus all the false hope from the guy in Australia who got the false shipping info, lead me to believe we could soon see the dd+ shipping sooner rather than later.

wow I need this wheel, fuck. I cant wait for my dd+ and I cant wait to this wheel too. PLEASE fanatec and sony, send my fukng dd+ ;(
I can feel you bro 😥
Does anyone know if they will sell this wheel separately? The original one wasn’t.. and if this wheel is good I can’t see too many hitting private sales. Everyone of us that preordered the dd+ would be even more fucked… PLEASE FANATEC if this wheel is not sold separately I hope you make it available for us that are waiting for the damn base

If that's the wheel that gets released. I hope you can map any of the buttons unlike the DD Pro wheel.
