At this point I would say it’s prob true collective just doesn’t care. Last year there was @Podger who could fix and get anything up and running. He either doesn’t work there anymore or is doing different stuff. He woukd have fixed all of your problems already. Sad part is he left almost a year ago and collective will not replace him. Maybe they can’t with the knowledge he had. But it’s sad that collective is just not helping anyone. They have sold a lot of units and they just don’t care. I’m sorry guys.
 
I think I have finally figured out a Drive Hub trick.

* If you are experiencing disconnects mid-race try this! *

When you boot Drive Hub, your wheel MUST be the first thing it detects. I tested this over the last few days and here is what happened to me:

Power on wheel.
Connect Drive Hub and let it boot.
Watch what is displayed on its LED <-- very important

MOST of the time, my wheel is not the first thing detected. For some reason, it's my TH8A shifter, then the wheel, then the pedals. When I get this order, I WILL get a disconnected during a race. It will be the 1st or 2nd race, and I lose wheel and pedals and crash. It always happens on a straight. I can't explain why it happens, but it does in this fashion. Doesn't matter if I am using shifter or paddles.

Now, if the WHEEL is the first thing show on the Drive Hub display, I can race 6 straight races with no issues as I have the last two days. I am sure I could keep going, but I got tired and quit after 6.

* Keep resetting the Drive Hub by pressing P1 until your wheel is the first thing detected *

You may have to do this 2-3 times before the detection order is correct. For me it is always: Wheel>Shifter>Pedals. That's what works 100% of the time.
 
Hello all.

With the news today that Nascar 25 isn't going to be cross-platform, I've been looking finding a way to make my rig gear compatible with the PS5 and the Drive Hub that I already own. I currently own the Simagic Alpha, DS-8X shifter, and Heusinkveldt Sprint pedals. I know the pedals and shifter are listed as compatible on the site, but has anyone been able to use the Simagic Alpha?

If you scroll back some pages you’ll see my issues with the shifter. You might have better luck as some haven’t had any issues with the shifter.

If the shifter doesn't work then that isn't the worst thing in the world. It will only be for Nascar 25 when it releases. My biggest question I guess is if I can use the Sigma Cortex and Drive Hub at the same time.

The answer to this is likely no. The PS5 only allows one wheel to be connected at once. Since the Sigma Cortex and DriveHub likely can’t communicate with each other, you’d have to use one or the other as both would register a wheel (even if you don’t have wheels connected to both).
 
Thank you for that. I know there is a way, but it requires a PC and GIMX. Here is a video of someone doing it .


I was just hoping for a way around that, or that I could plug the Cortex into the drive hub since the cortex converts the Simagic to simulate another base.

If I have to connect a PC to my Xbox or PS5 to use my equipment, I'd rather just sell the consoles and go PC at that point.
