Could just be UPS being cretins I guess.
I was looking at getting some fanatec stuff too, but this has put me right off.

Hmmmm, I'm hoping its just wrong in UPS and they are all together in one package and the website isn't displaying correctly, but I think thats more hope than reality.
But a bit of digging the parcels going back are
6.6kg, DD?
4kg, pedals?
1.1kg desk mount?
And the one apparently being here by the 30th is 2.3kg so probably the wheel?
At least I can it in the living room with the wheel going brrrrrm brrrrm smash for 3 months.

I am loving the GTO Titan. I’m not a sim racer at all, I play video games to have fun, but it’s just so much more immersive even with entry level kit on it.
Some of the best money I’ve spent I think.

Me neither.
You've been unfortunate enough to be that 1-in-1,000 customer where seemingly everything has gone wrong.
Well..... great help from Fanatec customer services again. But I'm not backing down now, I want my gear.
Why can't they stop apologising and tell me what they are going to do to get it fixed?
I've been pretty crap with my replies to them recently but I've now asked some direct questions.

I believe they tried this but turned right out of Germany and have since opened up a new front on the Soviet Union with all the other parcels destined for England.
I know that when it gets delivered it will have be thrown around so many delivery vans and warehouses it won't work and then I'll have to send it back and start again.
Well, new order in progress again. Order number 3 now they've placed. Using UPS Express Saver this time so it might be delivered to Hamburg alot quicker.
And I guess the UPS express only matters when they actually pick it up so probably another 3-4 weeks of completely shipped, label printed etc.

You'd get to the border with it and they'd return you to Hamburg, Deutschland.

Does anyone have any experience of the Collective Minds Drivehub?
Got mine yesterday, connected it up and it's making the wheel behave really strangely. It has resistance all the time, even when not in game and, if you do try to use it, it doesn't recognise any steering inputs.
Tried updating the firmware, updating the Xbox controller, but no luck so far. Have submitted a question to CM themselves, but thought I'd ask here in case anyone has used one.

I've emailed back their Customer service on my open ticket they have asking them to sort ASAP.
Little to no hope but lets see if they can pull something off.
I'm invested now, they've tried to offer me a refund before but I'm seeing this through, they can deliver on what they promised. It must be at the point now that the cost of them continually try to deliver this has eaten away any profit they had in it.

Still not here and I'm not banking on anything yet.
If it does arrive it will be tested to make sure it works and then the GTOmega Prime Lite will be ordered and Ill almost be good to go

It’ll be out of warranty by the time it arrives. Fair play for sticking it out. I almost bought the same at the same time.

UPDATE......
Its here
and yeah I thought that box looks a bit beat up.....
So yeah, its not all here.
Been robbed by the delivery driver I think.
I said to him wait there let me check it before you go and he was pretty keen to go. I said there were 4 packages and there is only three. His reply was I thought it was a bit light looks like you are missing your Direct drive. Nothing I can do you'll need to raise a claim through UPS.
How the f**k would he know the direct drive was missing?
So it goes on......

I wonder if that’s part of the reason it’s taken so long. But then not if matey knows what went missing.
Bet you sparked the courier out first and asked questions later, CS style?

If it’s been shipped from Germany then it will have a customs dec which will describe the contents. It’s possible he just checked the missing one from there.
Yeah might be wrong but the invoice on the box didn't call it a direct drive. It was a CSL_DD_PSU90, just seemed odd the way he said he thought it was a bit light, then straight into the box and said your direct drive is missing. From what I can see from the Fanatec boxes that have arrived is that it says whats in them in big letters.
Unless he was into Sim Racing and knows what would be needed.
Did think that, but not sure how that plays out with it being returned to Fanatec, thought I'd play my cards dealing with UPS who then refer it back to Fanatec to see if the customer service works better that way.
Any reply I get from Fanatec has been 10 working days plus, so would expect that conversation to be another month plus the time it takes for the box to get back to them.

Finally got my drivehub working with EA Sports WRC yesterday, as Collective Minds replied to my support email.
This means I can now use my Thrustmaster TSS handbrake, instead of having to fumble for the "B" button on the wheel. Still not entirely sure why it wasn't working before, as I'm sure I tried what they suggested already, but there we are. Annoyingly, if I try and use it with Dirt 2.0, the moment you pull the handbrake in game, it stops recognising the steering wheel, so that's a bit s**t.
