And, it’s also compatible with every current Fanatec wheel base. Next, fully press each pedal and make sure it hits 100, and that it is at 0 when not being pressed. The saturation setting in F1 23 acts just like the deadzone, but almost in reverse. It will make hitting 100% input easier. Think of it as a reverse deadzone.

Increasing the saturation will reduce the distance that your pedal needs to travel before 100% input is registered. Often, your buying decisions can come down to your budget, with the main aim being to maximise the performance of your racing wheel within the budget you have.

Some more premium racing wheels may require each part of your sim racing setup to be connected to your PC individually. Whichever way your wheel needs to connect to your PC or console, do that and then connect your racing wheel to the power supply. You can change any default button input, simply by scrolling to it, selecting it and then pressing the new button. Plus, once again, both Sony and Logitech have confirmed that the Logitech G923 is compatible with PS5 consoles. Update – Recently Fanatec discontinued the Podium F1 racing wheel.

Now I will run through each part of setting up your racing wheel in F1 23 in more detail. And the first step after connecting your racing wheel and starting up F1 23 is to calibrate it. For now I’d like to touch upon budgeting. Setting yourself a budget before getting too deeply involved in your shopping online is one of the best pieces of advice we can give. It’s very important to do this, because it’s all too easy to get carried away and choosing a product that offers those little extra features but spending a lot more than we could or should have spent. In most cases, you will require these additional peripherals to be from the same brand as your racing wheel. If you have a Logitech G923 for example, only a Logitech shifter will be compatible. And if you race with a Fanatec CSL DD wheel base, only a Fanatec shifter will be directly compatible on PS5. The brand new PS5-compatible GT DD Pro takes this formula and adds full PS5 compatibility. Fanatec even worked alongside Polyphony Digital, the developer behind Gran Turismo to ensure this new racing wheel bundle works perfectly with Gran Turismo 7.

Whichever racing wheel you opt for, try to ensure it has a minimum of 900 degrees of rotation. Most PS5 racing wheels meet these criteria, while many have 1080 degrees of rotation and some have unlimited rotation.
