Thinking of getting the Fanatec CSL Elite wheel. Plan to add a playseat also what put it just over $1k, guys who have this wheel is the new Fanatec CSL Elite wheel worth it? Also can you use a headset to plug into it? Just want to hear some feedback from people with this newest Fanatec playing Forza 6. Thx fellas!
Wheel is great, but if you intend on buying it specifically for forza it is a waste of money. No headphones do not plug directly into the wheel, you will be required to have a controller hooked up and the headset will need to be hooked to that. In regards to playseat read up on center post design to see if they are for u. If you intend onusing a 3 pedal setup ever i would say no.
Exactly.
I don’t know about Forza 6 + Fanatec CSL Elite, but with Logitech G920 the ffb and vibrations are weak/absent. And it’s not the wheel, because with AC it works great (both, before and after the G920 firmware update)
Fanatec is developing something for forza 7 so id wait if i were you before dropping a grand to play a year old game that wont do the wheel any justice. Imo if you’re a console only player i wouldnt buy an expensive wheel either, stick to logitec or thrustmaster. Wheels are an expensive investment, make sure you have other games to play or at least plan on getting in the near future before buying one.
I agree with im2fast4u, except I didnt hear the fanatec bit. I heard they are working with t10 to come up with a solution for improved ffb but i don’t believe it is going to be a new wheel specific to forza.
Right, I recall hearing Fanatec mentioned about the new Forza. If Fanatec has the “Latest & Greatest” wheel coming out for the new FM7 then I can see waiting. Wondering if the new Fanatec wheel will only work on the newer Xbox project Scorpio and PC, hmm. Also curious if the current Fanatec wheels will work on the new Scorpio coming out. I think the new Xbox Scorpio might be out about the same time as the new FM7 in October/November timeframe. I don’t know if I can wait another 10 months without a wheel. Really liking the Fanatec CSL Elite wheel P1 and Clubsport V3 pedals combo, what to do???
Youre right baby cow i went back and read it again he was asking about any issues or any features theyd like to see.
Ppr sniper go to inside sim racings you tube channel they just did a xbox one wheel buyers guide comparing the available wheels. As far as wheels working on scorpio they said games and accessories would work because its not a “next gen” console merely an upgrade so that wont be a problem. If you want a wheel than buy one, just do your research and as i said make sure you have some racing games to play other than just forza 6.
What is the must have sim-racer game? If you were to pick 1. What other titles are good? Thx guys.
Dirt rally, pcars-more sim then forza especially when it comes to race day options and assetto corsa which has the best ffb we can get on consoles, its a great driving sim but not particularly a good racing game.
Looks like I’m going all in. The Fanatec Forza Motorsport Wheel Bundle for Xbox One & PC Model: CSW B V2 Pack XL for $1399.

I’m also getting a Forza Playseat with the adjustable tracks and gear shifter mount. Gonna get into some PC racing too, just ordered an Alienware gaming PC from Best Buy today. Should have things setup in the next 2 weeks or so.
I sincerely doubt that any Fanatec gear you buy today would not work just as well with Forza 7 as anything you’ll be able to buy then. They sell top notch hardware that should be good for many years.
Yeah, should be GTG for a good while with these newest parts. Was going to go with the cheaper bundle to start but figured I would be happier longer with the most current parts available.
I bought Fanatec Forza bundle it arrived last Friday and this thing is just amazing compared to the Logitech g920 i had before. Just a tip, the handbrake will not work though. i also added the P1 wheel for the drifts but still getting used to it. This whole setup costed me well over $1650 without the seat and $180 overnight shipping but its worth every penny. have fun with your setup, your lap times will get much better, its a guarantee.
Thats just true bravery and pioneer spirit! Do you have vibration in pedals, brake aswell and does it work with F6?
I only receive vibration from the brake but not the pedals, i didnt test it on forza 6 as i gave the game to my friend but i think it would be same as horizon 3.
Yeah exactly what I was gonna say. It sound more like he’s trying to sell the wheel.
Awesome!
I didn’t order the hand brake. I should have everything on Friday. Can’t wait to get behind the wheel! Any tips on setting the wheel up for xbox1? I know I want to plug it into my PC to update the wheel drivers.
Oh yeah, 1 more question. What size bolts do you need to mount the wheel to a playseat? Thought I recall the Fanatec didn’t come with mounting bolts for racing seats.
False guarantee.
From memory i believe they are m11.
Cool thx. How many for the wheel 3? What about the pedals?
3 for the base and 4 for the pedals i believe. If you go on their website you can download the drilling template and i think it tells the bolt size also.
