I installed the 1.5.1.2 FW on my DD+ going from 1.4.2.3 - I skipped the next 2 which had issues

I found the FFB improved after the +NM jump in 1.4.2.3 w a bit more feel w low/mid forces balanced against peak

I was slightly concered about potential thermal issues, but the next updates broke the button maps - those are now fixed for PBME w the latest

The app is still meh and kept trying to “fix” my wheel until it finally connected. FW installed ok

No disconnects in GT7 after a few hours of use so far - but only my experience - ymmv

the CSL DD/DD Pro update has the big overload shutdown issue but lowering FFB and/or FEI seems to help - still better to wait on that one

Still feels as good as the previous firmware?
 
My biggest concern is if we have to update the base to work with the new pedals. I have a Podium DD1 that works flawlessly, but it's on an old (very old) software application - version 447. I do not want to flash the firmware on my DD1 and have it bricked. Scary time in the Fanatec ecosystem.
