Been waiting for BF to be a new Fanatec user? Upgrading from an older belt drive wheel that you’ve used forever?

Some advice as the Fanatec team is still struggling with their new all-in-one app and other FW issues for DD’s and wheels
  • The latest FW is NOT always best for your config - try it as shipped FIRST and then look at the forums for fixes or features
  • Avoid the app if possible - lots of bugs - and use one of the older driver packages for setup either 455 or 465 found on the fanatec forum
  • If you’re on a console the PC sw is only used for calibration, FW install, and configuring some features like pedal max mins
  • the console controls the connection w the game so driver version will not affect gameplay only FW. On a PC a driver is needed
  • Each component can be upgraded individually - you do not need to have all using FW from the same driver to match
  • Some products require minimum wheel base FW versions to be recognized: HB V2, Porsche Vision GT wheel, and the new CSL GT3 wheel
  • The Podium button module Rally still has issues that are waiting for a fix - it has never worked 100% since release
  • The Formula V2.5 has shifting issues that may be resolved soon but the original FW works ok
So if it works fine for you out of the box stick with it for a while and learn more about it
