Automobilista 2 - using Fanatec GT DD Pro in PC VR

Ah yes, I bought the Fanatec GT DD Pro some time ago as I wanted to enjoy GT7 in VR with a good quality wheel. Everything was great, but there comes a time when the reprojection and the lack of bots in multiplayer gets you down. Thankfully I knew that my Fanatec DD Pro also worked on PC.

Ahh it is 2025, so PC ecosystem is matured and no faffing or incompatibilities were expected, but...


I can kind of get the wheel to work, when assign the pedal and the brake in "PC Mode". I can't get any of the buttons or the thumbstick (on the wheel) to work in the menus though. How can this problem be solved? There does not seem to be ANY way of reassigning menu navigation - and I cannot be using a mouse or a keyboard in VR. I can't be the only on having this problem? Any suggestions on how to solve it?


In "PC compatible" mode the thumbstick on the wheel works, but nothing else seems to be working.


I almost feel like going back to GT7, but I really don't want to. Help, please!

    Hey there! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We totally get how immersive it is to play in VR with a quality wheel like the Fanatec GT DD Pro, and we understand how frustrating it can be when things aren’t working as expected. It sounds like the issue with the buttons and thumbstick not functioning properly in PC mode is causing some major inconvenience, especially in VR.

    We recommend checking if you have the latest firmware installed for both the wheelbase and the wheel itself. Sometimes updates can help resolve unexpected behavior. If the issue persists, try using the Fanatec Control Panel on your PC to reconfigure the button mappings or reset any settings that may have been affected.

    If you’re still having trouble after that, we’d recommend reaching out to our support team for more personalized assistance. We’re confident we can get this sorted out for you so you can get back to enjoying your experience! Best, your Fanatec team.
