What is the Compatibility mode for

Jairo Martinez

Here is a question that I have been thinking about since my CSL DD and now with my CS DD.

What is the compatibility mode for ?

• when do I need to use this mode? I do own a CS Stereing wheel V2 X (why you call it 2.5?). Is this compatibility mode between the base and the steering wheel? But arent they already compatible?

I dont understand this 🤔

Hey, the compatibility mode is when your game might not recognise your dd/wheel and therefore uses an older protocol or some sort If I’m not wrong.

and for the CS Steering Wheel, the newest Model is a V2.5 which got the Magnetic Shifter Paddel by default which the V2 didn’t had.

some older games have the specific base demand what is needed for turn the steering wheel leds on, that's where compatibility mode comes to help

Just to clarify (if needed)

Compatibility mode makes the connected device (PC/console) think you have a CSW 2.5, instead of a DD - since older games wont know about the newer dd wheelbases.

For the CS Steering wheel - i assume you mean the Formula v2 wheel. That had full PC/PS/XBox compatibility. The Formula v2.5 has upgraded magnetic shifters, but not have xbox compatibility. The Formula V2.5 X has the magnetic shifters and xbox compatibility

that's not true that older games wont work, there is only some games what may not work correctly as they want the CSW
