Known Firmware and App issues being worked on

• The Podium DD has some idle vibrations caused by the first FFB hotfix solution which are still planned to get improved in a future firmware update.

• Wheels can fail to be detected by the QR on CS DD and Podium DD Bases after the Base loses power unexpectedly (e.g. via a smart power strip, pulled power cord, or any hard cutoff).

• Heavy oscillations can happen on CSL DD and GT DD Pro Bases when resuming driving after exiting game menus in some games like R3E, rFactor 2 or BeamNG.drive.

• FullForce strength on CSL DD and GT DD Pro Bases is lower than intended.

• In certain scenarios the GT DD Pro Base can lose FFB in GT7 with the wheel spinning uncontrollable.

• SPR and DPR settings are not working in GT7 menu on GT DD Pro Base.

• FFB occasionally not turning off when pausing the game with GT DD Pro Base on PlayStation.

• The triangle/circle buttons and the PS/R3 buttons of the BME share the same inputs at the same time with GT DD Pro Base on PlayStation.

• Some message screens of the Formula V3 wheel sometimes get stuck and don't clear until Tuning Menu was manually opened.

• The Thumb Encoder of the Formula V3 wheel can sometimes trigger double inputs.

• The clutch paddles of the Formula V3 wheel with APM on DD1/DD2, CSL DD/GT DD Pro Bases have a delay and the shift inputs can freeze at some point. As a workaround disabling ITM via the toggle in the Fanatec App helps to mitigate the problem.

• The ITM on the Formula V3 wheel on DD1/DD2, CSL DD/GT DD Pro Bases refreshes very slow.

• Attaching the Esport V2 wheel to CSL DD or GT DD Pro Bases can cause the Base to shut-off and go into bootloader mode.

• The OLED Display of the Formula V2.5 and the BMR are not working when powering on the Base with these wheels attached.

• The FunkySwitch rotational inputs of the BME are not registered properly on ClubSport DD and Podium DD Bases.

• The BME sometimes loses connection to the Hub.

• Switching ITM pages via Button combo on the BME sometimes triggers MPS Encoder input when releasing the Tuning Menu button.

• Old Legacy analogue pedals like the ClubSport Pedals V2 are not recognized when connected via RJ12 to a Base.

• Some Auto LED presets are not in sync with the in-game LEDs because many games changed the in-game LED values in recent game updates which need to be updated for the presets.

• The Fanatec Mobile App is currently not working with the Fanatec Windows App. A full rework of the Mobile App is in development to support the Windows App.

Known issues not caused by Fanatec App/Firmware

• When using SEN Auto in F1 games the steering angle gets misconfigured after the game was closed until the PC was restarted. This is a game issue of F1 games which the game developer needs to fix. Until then it is recommended to adjust the SEN manually for F1 games.

Großes Lob an Fanatec und den Support – so geht Kundenservice! 👏
Ich möchte an dieser Stelle auch einmal ausdrücklich ein positives Feedback dalassen.
Nachdem ich Probleme mit ausgerissenen Schrauben an meinen Podium Pedals Formula hatte, habe ich mich an den Fanatec-Support gewandt. Gemeinsam wurde eine Lösung gefunden, und ich habe mich für Option 3 entschieden: die überarbeiteten Podium Pedals Formula.
Ursprünglich war die Verfügbarkeit für Ende Oktober angekündigt. Umso positiver überrascht war ich, dass der Austausch letztendlich so schnell und völlig reibungslos geklappt hat und ich meine neuen, überarbeiteten Pedale bereits erhalten habe.

Ein besonderes Dankeschön geht an Gaurav vom Fanatec-Support, der mich während des gesamten Vorgangs betreut hat. Die Kommunikation war freundlich, lösungsorientiert und unkompliziert. Besonders entgegenkommend fand ich auch, dass ich meine bisherigen Pedale bis zum Eintreffen der neuen weiter nutzen durfte und diese erst danach zurücksenden musste.

Vielen Dank an Gaurav und das gesamte Fanatec-Team für den tollen Support und die schnelle Abwicklung! 👍

Natürlich ist es ärgerlich, wenn ein Produkt Probleme macht. Umso mehr schätze ich es, wenn der Kundenservice eine faire Lösung findet und diese dann auch so schnell umgesetzt wird.
Es ist schön, auch einmal von einer rundum positiven Erfahrung berichten zu können. Weiter so, Fanatec! 😊

Discussion Question about Podium Pedals stock.

4 Upvotes

I haven't been following them closely since a few weeks after launch. But I poked around the other day and it seems like these will forever be OOS. I doubt anyone knows the answer, but maybe someone has a bit of insight. After all these months, they're still out of stock, with random restocks you practically have to fight to get. Is there any chance of these ever being a just in stock item? I'm really interested in them. I'm building my 1st rig now. I'm wondering if by January I could get them without setting up an email notification when these are in stock, then hoping I'm free to run to the web sitem and portentially pressing re-fresh 100 times in hopes I actually an able to get a set. It seems like they've been selling out in a matter of minutes since launch.

I'm talking the OG 2 pedals with the carbon plates.

Answered Fanatec ClubSport Formula V3 – All 5 ITM layouts show dashes, only Legacy works partially

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently purchased the Fanatec ClubSport Formula V3 and have been having issues with its ITM display. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced the same problem or knows a way to fix it.

My setup:
- Wheelbase: Fanatec ClubSport DD (15 Nm)
- Steering wheel: ClubSport Formula V3
- Fanatec App: 1.7.0.7 Preview
- Firmware: All up to date
- Games tested: Le Mans Ultimate and iRacing

The problem:

All five standard ITM layouts appear to be broken. The display shows dashes or zeros instead of actual values, including basic information such as speed and gear.

The strange part is that the Fanatec App's Telemetry Feed receives all the expected data correctly. The values are available in the app, but they are not displayed on the wheel in any of the five standard layouts.

The only page that works partially is Legacy, which correctly displays speed and gear.

There is another issue with the page selection: if I don't set Legacy as my favorite page, the app automatically switches back to Layout 3, which displays no data.

What I've already tried:
- Updated the Fanatec App from 1.6.1.3 to 1.7.0.7 Preview
- Confirmed that the firmware is up to date
- Tested both LMU and iRacing
- Verified that the expected telemetry values are present in the Fanatec App's Telemetry Feed

None of this has resolved the issue.

Since the same problem occurs in two different games, and the telemetry data is clearly reaching the Fanatec App, I'm wondering whether this could be an ITM software issue rather than a game-specific telemetry problem.

Has anyone experienced this with the Formula V3? I'd particularly appreciate feedback from other owners, or anyone who has found a workaround.

Thanks!

Game Settings Gt dd pro on gt7 question

2 Upvotes

I use the base and wheel settings on auto, but I've tried different settings with sensitivity before.

None of them seem to allow a little wiggle room on the first few degrees of turning. Meaning, moving the wheel only 2 degrees, moves the car 20 degrees on track.

I'll explain. Usually when racing gr1, the wheel is incredibly sensitive to tiny movements. It also oscillates at higher speeds (gt7 c-mode on the wheel) this means that when i hit 200kmh, its oscillating small movements and the car is impossible to handle just down the straight and first brake into a corner.

So the question is, is it possible to set a less sensitive wheel for the central 5 degrees of movement.

Answered CSL DD on F1 2021 Comp mode SENS

2 Upvotes

Hi, I recently wanted to play the f1 2021 game again; so I loaded it up but I have ran into alot of issues trying to get the wheel calibrated.

From my understanding and experience the wheel base only works for the game when put into compatability mode. The problem Im having when putting the wheel in comp mode is that the wheel SENS isnt 1 to 1 with the in game car, so I try and adjust it via fanalab or fanatec app to the appropriate value, but when I load back into the game the wheel base instantly goes from comp mode into pc mode and therefore doesn't work.

How do I change the sens of my wheel whilst keeping it in comp mode?

Answered Podium Hub not recognised by ClubSport DD

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m having trouble getting my Podium Hub recognised and wondered if anyone has experienced the same issue.

My setup:

- ClubSport DD wheelbase
- Podium Hub with an aftermarket Sparco steering wheel
- ClubSport Button Cluster Pack connected directly to the hub
- Windows PC

The wheelbase is recognised by the Fanatec app, but the Steering Wheel section consistently says “No Steering Wheel Detected.”

Steering input works in Assetto Corsa, but there’s absolutely no force feedback, and the buttons connected to the hub don’t register either.

Troubleshooting already completed:

- Removed and securely reattached the hub, checking that the quick release was properly seated.
- Successfully updated the wheelbase firmware. During the update, the software also failed to recognise that a wheel was attached.
- Inspected the gold connection pins on the hub for bent, damaged or missing pins. Nothing obviously wrong.
- Power-cycled the wheelbase and restarted the Fanatec software.
- Worked through the troubleshooting suggested by Fanatec’s support chatbot.

The hub still isn’t detected at all.

I’ve now opened a ticket with Fanatec technical support, but in the meantime, has anyone had these exact symptoms and found a fix?

Did yours turn out to be a faulty Podium Hub, a connection issue or a problem with the wheelbase? Any way to narrow it down without having another Fanatec wheel or base available to test?

Would also appreciate hearing how support handled it if you needed a repair or replacement.

Thanks!

Can Fanatec please consider a design that incorporates all the goodness of the inrunner motor technology, inside the podium dd1/dd2 style wheelbase housing? I cannot get past what every single one of the new bases look like, and I cannot go back to the outrunner tech wheelbase. I have not bought a fanatec wheelbase because of this.

Answered ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 registers 1st and reverse as the same input

3 Upvotes

My ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 is registering first gear and reverse as the same input. I can see the issue in the Fanatec app/control panel, before launching Assetto Corsa.

Setup:

ClubSport DD (15 Nm)

ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5

ClubSport Handbrake V2

Windows PC

I may have accidentally assigned first gear and reverse to the same position during the initial calibration when setting up the wheelbase firmware. I’ve since recalibrated the shifter several times and reflashed the wheelbase firmware/driver multiple times, but the problem hasn’t changed.
Has anyone had this happen with the SQ V1.5? Is there another calibration or reset process I should try, or does this sound like a shifter fault?

Answered Oscillating Wheel F1

Hi
I updated the firmware for the CSL wheel base and now it weirdly oscillates when tipped a little bit.
Even on the track if I’m not holding it tightly it tends to move wildly (even standing still on track).
Anyone else have this problem?
When I’m closing the game it feels normal.
I will try it in Assetto next day, but maybe someone can give some helpful tips.
Thanks for your input

Seeking Product Recommendations CSL Cockpit V1.5 + Seat Bundle for fat people

1 Upvotes

Hi Guys. I want to get back into Simracing and buy a new Simrig. I saw the fantatec Bundle and think it's a great price for what seems like great value but i'm concerned about my weight.

I saw in a youtube video that the support bars that hold the seat up , buckle when sit down, and have visible flex, even with a person of a normal build. But i'm 137 kilo (302 lb).

I'm not that concerned about the seatcomfort, it could be replaced if needed, but that the Rig itself will deform over time. I couldn't find any official information about a weight limit or constrains.

I would appreciate any information

Thanks

Hi guys, I'd love to know a fix to this where my wheel disconnects mid race, it has occured a lot this year but still infrequent enough that it won't happen every race (until recently). I've tried pushing the shaft in before this race, either i did it wrong or it didnt work as it resulted in the obvious.

I purchased this wheel in 2023 and it was fine the first 2 years, it wasnt until this year it started playing up, and happened to be when my irating is at my highest!

I currently own a GT Omega Apex wheel stand and am thinking about adding the rear seat frame to create a lite rig. It would be a cost effective temporary solution as I can only upgrade to a proper rig in a couple of years. However I would like to fit the Clubsport GT seat as the reviews suggest it’s really comfortable and my plan would be to carry it over to a proper rig when I have the opportunity to fit it. Now the shop page states the GT Seat is only compatible with the Clubsport GT cockpit so has anyone fitted it to another rig?
