Just installed this and having issues with my Fanatec CSW2.5 wheel and pedals. No preset so I am binding manually, takes a few times before it works, anyone experience this?
Also, any tips, is it normal to have to mess with gearing much when racing the AI? Seems like I’m getting dusted right off the start.
You do have to create a profile each time the game data gets wiped. Like you said, Generic Wheel Profile and bind the keys. In my case, it recognizes the pedals and the base no problem. Sometimes the pedals dont take and need a couple tries.
You say the acceleration is off. No, the AI shouldnt walk away from you like a rental race against light kids. I am guessing the pedals arent fullty registering the travel or something.
Here’s a resource that might help: https://simracingsetup.com/product-guides/how-to-setup-fanatec-pc/
Here is how I have my settings:
There’s a thing called fanatec wheel property page:
Settings in Inputs: Prefernces
Thanks, I have had my setup working with a ton of other games without issues. It’s only this game for some reason.
I’ll look at your settings and update mine, thanks
@Muskabeatz I trust your real race was invigorating. Hopefully it went well. 
It was a blast. Actually got to run a club race last weekend as well, in addition to a coaching day with one of my teammates. Lots of seat time lately!
Nice! I have a rental race tomorrow with my son, first of many. Sim is great and all, but the real thing is irreplaceable.
@Photocycler any luck? Need help?
I reset the max and min on my pedals. Noticed there was some fluttering which apparently happens with Fanatec pedals, so I reset my min having some light pressure on the brake pedal and it’s all fixed.
Love the game, hate the AI. They are reckless LOL
The ai will eventually be fixed. They see you but not your width. The multiplayer is really the key for this to take off. The mp sessions, when you find folks, are fun. Glad to hear it’s working.
Back to KZ
Decided to mix things up and give the KZ another go. It’s handling is much improved and the kart feels much more controllable. It is still a handful, but not in unexpected ways. In order to re-familiarize myself with the kart, I set the goal of breaking 38 at GVKC. The final turn proved to be a challenge. Enjoy.
Did they update the physics again?
I think they did some tweaks. The oscillations at speed are gone. I was experiencing some odd inability to get the wheel to turn when I asked it to but turns out that was me understeering and being a noob.
Tire model is being tweaked again in next patch too.
@tjkoyen lovely job on Tanguys helmet! How do you post those so it doesn’t show “log in to Instagram”?
Thanks! If you link from Facebook it should work.
I did notice in discord that there were some grip changes for kerbs at the very least. I haven’t had a chance to get back to turning laps in a few weeks though.
The graphics changes look really good. I saw that they also put curbs in at NTK, which seems to really alter the lap times.
I think it’s going to be virtually the same. I was hitting the chaicane the other day at similar speed. I think I am as fast or faster s3.
We need proper splits back. Without too much effort I was back down within 1/2.
I really do think shifter is pretty neat.
It makes x30 seem so tame and reasonable.
I am trying to see if I can get close the the amazing (and oddly named) Penishole. He’s a guy I met at OKC who works there and used to race shifter IRL competetively. He’s way better than me in shifter but maybe I can get close. Top 5 would be nice. #1 time is likely some sort of cut or glitch.
I need to beat the rush out of me. Pushing into corners is something I must stop doing. It is so darn hard to be patient with throttle in KZ, but so necessary. You actually have to pay attention to the underlying grip as you accelerate out. You can’t just mash the pedal down and go, at least not if you want to go very fast.
It is, however, really rewarding to let one of these things rip. It is nothing like a non-gearbox kart. So much available power, such acceleration. It’s a different thing entirely.
I need to get a Fanatech setup, but current disposable time/income is being spent on remodeling my trailer & building a new KZ, so something’s got to give. Maybe in a year.
I do like my Fanatec gear over my old Thrustmaster. The clubsport setup was upgraded along with the CSV 2.5. The base unit is very good as well. I think all you get out of the 2.5 is more torque.
I’m just using a game pad. But thumb sticks don’t enable fine level of control & consistency that a wheel does.
Yah. It also is a very different experience. I truly feel like I’m karting in my rig whilst in VR.
The fanatec stuff is pretty expensive. Why not something like a g29?
