F1 2020 XBox One - Formula V2 wheel, Led not functioning and Buttons not mappable.
At the current release of F1 2020 for XBox One, the Formula V2 Leds are not functioning. Also the buttons (Rotary Thumb Wheels, Rocket switches, etc.) are not recognise nor mappable, hence, it can't be used.
The Formula V2 is attached to the CSW 2.5
Despite the Formula V2 is "Officially licensed for Xbox One" , and it is a Formula wheel, unfortunately it not useable on F1 2020 on XBox One for now. Hope Codemaster/Microsoft will fix this.

This is known for years, Xbox doesn't support LEDs, Display Data Output and most of the buttons like Thumb Encoders, MPS, 2-way-switches etc.
Microsoft needs to update their Xbox code which is unlikely to ever happen on current Gen, and I personally also doubt they will for next gen...
Hi Maurice,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I doubt it.
Do you think, it is more on Microsoft code on the Xbox rather on the application it self.
I remember we had the same issue with F1 2019 on PS4 at the beginning of release, however, Codemaster fixed this issue with the new release, which is now all working well specific for F1 2019 on PS4. Is it different case with XBox?
It's fully and only an issue with the Xbox code, no game can deliver these features because they are all limited by the strictly limited Xbox code. So nothing Codemasters or Fanatec can fix here...
Thanks for your clarification.
There are "workarounds" to get at least some data by using an app on your smart phone... I used Race Dash and set up the UDP telemetry to my phone, mounted it to the top of my 2.5 wheelbase and used the app as LEDs... I ultimately purchased a gaming PC to fully unlock the potential of the fanatec gear.
is this still the case or have they updated the codes?
They havent updated their Code since Xbox was released, so no, they still didnt updated anything .. ^^
Does Fanatec team know if LEDs will work on Xbox Series X ?
That would be a shame if LEDs still do not work on a New console generation.
I disagree. I just returned my thrustmaster gear, brand new, for other reasons. With that setup and their F1 wheel, the rotary wheels worked perfectly. I can only assume that this issue is on the fanatec side of the programming.
I don't belive this to be true. My brand new thrustmaster F1 wheel rotary wheels worked. I returned it for other reasons and made the jump to fanatec
But it is true.
