• PWT: Playstation 2 compatibility

  • 
    Some users ask if the Porsche 911 Turbo wheel is also compatible to the Playstation 2 or Playstation 2 games played on Playstation 3.
    

    
    Yes it is! Just press the button on the dongle to activate it.
    

    
    We did not officially declare it as a PS2 product because otherwise we would have needed to test several hundreds games (in all language versions).
    

    
    Try it out!

• Xbox 360 Prototype almost there...

  • 
    The Xbox360 (only) version of the Porsche wheel is already running and we can play games but the Forcefeedback effects are not fully working yet as they should.
    

    
    Our target is to give a prototype next week to the developers of Simbin so they can integrate it into their new racing sim RACE Pro .

    I will keep you  updated .

• ClubSport Table Clamp available for pre-order

  • 
    You can now order the Clubsport Table Clamp for your Porsche wheel.
    

    
    It will give your wheel and shifters an extremely strong mount to almost any table out there. But my favourite feature is the adjustable wheel angle.

• RennSport Cockpit shown at Games Convention

  • 
    On the Games Convention we presented the new RennSport Cockpit.
    

    
    This is a ultra solid full aluminium construction which is Made in Germany. It comes with a real racing seat (shown in carbon) and is full yadjustable.
    

    
    It is made especially for our wheels so the ergonomics are perfect. Personally I loved the three monitor setup driving a Cup Porsche GT3 RS on the Nordschleife (rFactor)

• RennSport Wheel Stand announced

  • 
    On Fanatec.com you will find infos and pictures about our new
    

    
    
    RennSport Wheel Stand http://www.fanatec.de/html/index.php?id=220&amp;lang=<?= en ?>
    

    This is the perfect solution to play in your living room without a table. And NO, it will NOT shake (as similar solutions out there)

    
    It is a heavy metal construction but at the same time super easy to handle and you can store away the wheel within 10 seconds.

• Driver installation issue

  • 
    It has been reported that there is a problem with RACE and the new driver 057.
    

    
    Before installing version 057 of the driver please de-install previous versions manually.
    

    
    make sure that pwservice.exe is not running anymore and is deleted before you install 057.

• GT5:P problem solved

  • After the last update of the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo: Prologue to version "Spec III" the game was no longer compatible with our PWT.

    We were looking for a solution together with Sony and decided to update the firmware of the wheel instead of updating the game as this is much faster. 

    In the support section of Fanatec.com you will find an update program to change the firmware of the dongle. Please read the instructions

• Community Testers wanted again for the NEW products

  • 
    Due to the great success of our co-operation with the gaming community on the Porsche 911 Turbo wheel we are happy to announce that we are now inviting testers for the upcoming racing products from Fanatec:

    To register for the test all members of the Porsche 911 Wheel Club have to fill out the "Test Registration" form.
    

    
    If you are not a member yet you have to register to this website first.
    

    
    Please fill out as much as you can. We will use this data not for marketing purposes or even sell the data but we need to have enough information to make a fair selection.
    

    
    The tests will take several months and we will not start with all products at the same time so even if you not have been selected for one product you still have a chance to get selected for the next round.
    

    
    I am looking forward to work with the community again on our new productsand I am confident that we all get great results again.
    

    
    You have made the Porsche 911 Turbo wheel the best wheel for the mass market out there and now let's make more great products together.

• LED and Vibration Control plug-in for rFactor available as Alpha

  • 
    We now have an Alpha version of the plug in for rFactor available which enables the game to directly control the LED display and the vibration motors.
    

    
    The following settings are possible:
    

    
    LED
    

    • Speed: Shows speed
    • Gear: Shows selected gear
    • Fuel: Shows remaining fuel
    • Place: Shows current position

    
    Vibration
    

    •  Gas pedal: Connected to throttle position (current default function)
    •   Shifting indicator: Sends a vibration signal when it is time to change gears
    • Engine revs: Connected tothe actual revs of the engine
    • ABS indicator: Send virbration signal when the wheel blocks

    
    Note: You can still change the intensity of the vibration motor in the Tuning menu and it is recommended to do so for the different settings. Try it out.
    

    
    Note: This is not a final version and not even a Beta so please make a backup of your registry before using it. So far it was only tested on Win XP 32 systems
    

    
     
    

    
    Other games and a proper control panel will follow soon! 
    

    
    The file is attached to this news message.

• Xbox 360 wheel demo with Forza 2

  • 
    This is the first video of the Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel for Xbox 360 in action.
    

    
    The wheel runs well with Forza 2 and other games but it still lacks some Force Feedback effects. We also still need to implement the Tuning function and the 6 speed gear shifter
