I finally upgraded from a G27 to a CSL DD. Wow what an upgrade. If you’re on the fence - do it. You feel so much more of what’s happening on the road. Instantly became more consistent and a tiny bit faster.

I actually bought into the fanatec bundle a couple months ago, yea. The basic functionality worked, but I must say that the feeling of the force feedback felt off under Linux - hard to describe though. I feel bad to say this, but simracing is the only reason for me to have a dual booted windows workstation for now :(

All the cool hard- and software stuff that I was missing out, left me longing for windows compatability.

You could definitely give it a try though. Like I said, most of it was and is already there in form of these drivers: https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff

Thank you so much! This is actually exactly what I was afraid of - and knowing myself, I’ll barely ever use the wheel if I have to reboot into Windows for it…guess I’ll stick with my trusty G29 for a little longer. Hope the Fanatec stuff is going to mature a bit in in the future - the Github repo does seem to be pretty active, so let’s see :)
