What! I'm wrong! Go and have a look at all the youtube clips from Fanatec on the release of both Fanatec and Fanalab and then tell me I'm wrong. And yes, there are a lot of rude people, like yourself on this site who just troll and make meaningless comments on other people's conversations. You are mean and another trouble maker. Where is this site about trying to prove people wrong. I thought it was about sharing ideas, helping each other and so on!
No problem Hristo, I understand what you're saying. I just felt really bullied by these same guys who seem to be trolling on this site for anyone who wishes to state something. You can't be called rude for calling out people for being rude. I just lost it in the end as they just keep pestering and unfortunately I displayed the same behaviors as them and I'm sorry for that. I'm sure some of the members, which I think you are mentioning are in fact beta developers with Fanatec, but the tone came across very dismissive and rude, in stead of helpful and constructive.
One last thing I want to add, then I won't bother you anymore. Im not a trouble maker nor am I rude to anyone.
The clip you showed us, was the first introduction of the CBP which first came with the McLaren wheel. You asked about the "on screen" software and both Maurice and I told you, that it was the HUD from iRacing.
In your same message, you asked for all firmwares required to run driver 365, yet again both Maurice and I wanted to help you and told you it is all included in the driver package.
No need to think anyone wants to fight you. There is a reason we are in this forum, we all made the same choice in this regard :)
I'm really sorry but I can't be nice to that guy...
He clearly just came here to insult anything and anybody... English isn't my native language and I fully understand all Sim Racing Girl videos, he says she has terrible pronunciation and communication, bla bla bla...
Than he takes a post I made saying that no brand is obligated to improve driver's, to start offending me and other members when everyone can see he doesn't know anything about what he's talking about, he talks about something never mentioned, mix that with something he thinks he has seen on a video he can't understand and starts firing to every direction.
It's just a pointless discussion because he just don't want to understand nothing and obviously doesn't want to be wrong. But... Like I said let him be happy...
Maurice is one of the nicest guys from Fanatec, he's always available and wanting to help and even him had to put up with this guy...
It's just not worthy, and I really think that offensive posts should at least give a suspension from forum...
Hugo, If I should be band, so should you! You have been constantly pestering and pestering, which really is a form of bullying. - for something that did not need to include you to the point of it being antagonizing. I stand by what I have seen and what I believe as a view and it wasn't even a big drama! As I said to one friendly member, "you can't call someone rude for calling out people for being rude" and of course I'm going to loose it if pestered to the point. Sorry to anyone else who has been offended.
I've been using Version 347 for a while on both PC and XBox without no problems, the setup is:
Wheel Base Model: CSL Elite Wheel Base (PS4 version)
Steering Wheel Model: ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2
Driver Version: 347
Base FW Version: 664
Wheel FW Version: 28
Motor FW Version: 22
However, I tried to update to this new version V365 and I'm getting a weird behavior when trying to use on XBox (see video). After upgrading to V365, I have:
Wheel Base Model: CSL Elite Wheel Base (PS4 version)
Steering Wheel Model: ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2
Driver Version: 365
Base FW Version: 672
Wheel FW Version: 34
Motor FW Version: 22
As you can see on the video, wheel gets weird and does not respond on XBox. Also, after some time it either gets stuck or does not go to XBox mode anymore.
I did a rollback of the Base FW to 664 again and everything is working fine. Is this a known issue? Did someone else face the same problem?
So here is the proof. Everyone is saying Fanalab wasn't even around when the Podium Wheel bases were first developed. Fanalab was actually mentioned, as I stated by Sim Racing Girl in the attached. Fanalab was promoted as Podium Software if you look at approximately 4.15 minutes on the clip. Yes, in my opinion it was very vague and badly presented. That may not be entirely Sim Racing Girl's fault as it may be all she had to work with, but it did exist and would have been in the making much earlier on. I don't have to be a fan of her style and that's my opinion. The other part was about a Clutch Bite Point Mode, which I'll explain below.
And, all my point was, that here we are almost 2 years down the track from first development and Fanalab is still incomplete and in Beta. Just an opinion. And for this I get attacked left right and centre and told I'm wrong, I know nothing about anything, can't learn anything and Fanalab had nothing to do with Podium etc etc! I spent around $3,000 dollars based on the Fanatec software differentiation against competitors like Simucube and a few others. So when my DD1 first bricked, I was angry and frustrated that everything any good was still on Beta and caused damage. I had to wait almost 6 weeks I think for a new one to return, so you can imagine someone in my position not having that escape, like many, it's all we have. Many people use sim racing as an escape, not just the young, but returned soldiers, former Police, people with disabilities or suffering trauma like myself, so being ignored, which I have been on this site, just to ask a question, or even attacked on end for making a statement or a point of view, should not result in multiple attacks. And yes, I then lost it.
Maurice, I recall in the past you have actually responded to a question I had and I appreciated that. I am deeply sorry if you did not intend to be rude or laugh me off, as that was just how the answer appeared, if you take a look. I felt like a dumb idiot. Yes, there was another part to this about the Clutch Bite Point and it was commented by another person on I think it was BSIM RACING site. The comment was that they couldn't wait for the Fanalab Clutch Bite Point to be released and they pointed this out to the screen, so I saw this and agreed it would be great. I can't at this time find any other clips, as to why others made the connection. That's it and that's what I got attacked by many for - saying I didn't know what I was talking about.
So, I'm deeply sorry, if you weren't trying to be rude and laugh me off, or as I put it, "A smart ass".
I hope some of those who criticized me have the ability to say sorry, as I didn't make anything up, was wrong or making out I was stupid, which was a bit mean.
For what I have done in life, I don't think I am a hard person, or try to hurt anyone.
Everyone stop discussing off topics here, go somewhere else or do it via PM. Others try to contribute useful information or get feedback and what you guys are doing here is just a distraction.
I have noticed and definitely not a placebo . Whilst using Rfactor 2 o latest driver and firmwares if I tab alt out to Fanalab and adjust settings then the wheel can become notchy almost rough .
I then restart game and it is back to normal . Obviously i cant do this via the wheel base as if i leave the fanatec logo screen it will freeze.
This can only be an issue if i wish to tweak try different ffb settings . It currently means i.ahve tp restart this particular game.
Has not been tested in other sims yet so not sure if software or hardware related.
Apart from the already mentioned no other issues to report. Overall good FFB feel !!
Any news on potential updates to drivers or firmware or how your own testing is going ?
Si , a mi y al compañero Clint Bergman nos pasa lo mismo , desde que se sube el firmware de la base CSW 2.5 a la v365 ya no detecta bien el volante y te sale como un CSL Elite , el fallo aparece sin subir el Firmware del volante .
Por lo que parece la culpa es del firmware de la base .
Un saludo
If the same thing happens to me and my partner Clint Bergman, since the firmware of the CSW 2.5 base is uploaded to v365 and the steering wheel no longer detects well and it comes out as a CSL Elite, the failure appears without raising the firmware of the steering wheel .
From what seems like the fault is the firmware of the base.
Steering Wheel Model (product ID): Xbox Hub (with or without PBMP, Formula V2 wheel, no wheel, ...)
Driver Version: 365
Base FW Version: 672
Motor FW Version: 38
FanaLab Version: 1.24
Installed everything and it worked at first, got everything updated and testing in the Windows driver worked.
Now whenever I try to start the windows driver i get the error: "There is a problem setting up the wheel control panel. Please reconnect the device and try again."
If I only connect the pedals the driver works and I can test them.
Tried further: full uninstall of the driver and Fanalab, deleted all leftovers manually, cleaned the registry manually, ran some registry cleaners, reinstalled only the driver without Fanalab, reboots for everything, same problem:
"There is a problem setting up the wheel control panel. Please reconnect the device and try again."
This may be because you use newer firmware than the one available in driver 356. Firmware 672/38/11/2 belongs to driver package 361 and 365. Driver 356 includes 670/38/9/2.
Please only use the firmware which is supposed to come with the respective driver and don't mix things up.
So please try with the included firmware again if the issue is still there.
Found the problem: it my gear can't be connected to the USB 3.1Gen1 port it has always been connected to anymore, it has to be connected to a USB 2.0 port now. If I remember correctly it used to not work on the USB 2.0 port which is why I had to change it to the USB 3.1Gen1 port.
Why the change?

For issues with the wheelbase not working on particular usb port, you could try Device Cleanup Tool (https://www.uwe-sieber.de/misc_tools_e.html) in safe mode to remove device enumeration from windows registry.
Actually I have used it a couple of times and only in safe mode (have not tried otherwise). It is easier to remove all devices, instead of trying to find the correct one :) So I remove all except the GPU and on the next boot everything is there and eventually only have to change the default sound output to correct one.
hi guys do you think its a better idea if I downgrade again to v346 and wait for the official update? I have a DD1 and I updated it to v356 but I don't like the knock thing when I turn it off. thanks in advance

Yes it is!
But you called one of the most helpful members here a smart ass. Also called another member a dick head.
That makes you to look like rude and trouble maker.
Please do not accept my post as an attack on you, I'm just saying what the situation looks like from the side.
No problem Hristo, I understand what you're saying. I just felt really bullied by these same guys who seem to be trolling on this site for anyone who wishes to state something.

Has there been any new firmware for the ClubSport pedals lately?
The CSP v3 never got any new firmware since it's release 5 years ago.
Please watch your language, didn't you just said to someone else he should? Your discussions are totally off topic btw.

Uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired ... nothing works.
Everything gets detected fine in Fanalab though.
Tried further: full uninstall of the driver and Fanalab, deleted all leftovers manually, cleaned the registry manually, ran some registry cleaners, reinstalled only the driver without Fanalab, reboots for everything, same problem:
"There is a problem setting up the wheel control panel. Please reconnect the device and try again."
I don't know if this is a known issue, but if I enable Mouse Emulation on my BME the mouse pointer moves up as I turn the steering wheel
it does not happen with the 918RSR only with the BME.

Tried and can reproduce this issue also on a matching combo, thanks for the issue!
Sorry for my mistake, I wrote 356, but I have 365
For issues with the wheelbase not working on particular usb port, you could try Device Cleanup Tool (https://www.uwe-sieber.de/misc_tools_e.html) in safe mode to remove device enumeration from windows registry.
Thaanks!
Only in safe mode?
And won't the tool mess up my other USB devices? I have a bunch of them installed ...
Actually I have used it a couple of times and only in safe mode (have not tried otherwise). It is easier to remove all devices, instead of trying to find the correct one :) So I remove all except the GPU and on the next boot everything is there and eventually only have to change the default sound output to correct one.
But hey, please use on your own risk :)
hi guys do you think its a better idea if I downgrade again to v346 and wait for the official update? I have a DD1 and I updated it to v356 but I don't like the knock thing when I turn it off. thanks in advance
The knock when turning the Base off is absolutely harmless, you shouldn't be worried about it, it won't damage your base.
so I keep the v356 or I update to v365? @Maurice Böschen
sorry for bugging you but I want to know what's the best for my base.
