Since its reveal at the Sim Expo last year, we’ve been hard at work refining the all-new Fanatec application, and it’s time for you to try it out.
This combines the Fanatec Driver / Control Panel and FanaLab software into one package. After extensive internal testing, we're excited to release the public beta, giving you early access to the next evolution of Fanatec software. A mobile version is also in development and will come later this year.
Note that some functionalities and capabilities are still in development and there may be a few quirks and bugs – your feedback is incredibly valuable in helping us fine-tune the experience. We have created a form specifically for this: click here
If you wish to provide further feedback and participate in a discussion about the new app, please head to the official forum thread where the download is available.
Key Features:
- Windows driver installation (required for using Fanatec hardware on PC)
- Check hardware connectivity and functionality
- Calibrate wheel center, pedal dead zones, shifter inputs, and more
- Update firmware for connected Fanatec devices
- Integrated software updates – no need to manually browse, download, and install updates anymore
- Adjust Tuning Menu settings
- Adjust ITM, vibration, and dynamic FFB settings achieved via telemetry signals
- Detects the current game and car to load specific profiles automatically
- Included LED profiles automatically loaded for many cars – no need to import and bind profiles manually anymore to have LEDs matching the in-game car
- Possibility to import FanaLab profiles
- Game shortcut launcher
- Integrated App Tour explaining all functions
- Multi-Language Interface
More features will be rolled out as we continue development. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts. Download the beta, take it for a spin, and help shape the future of Fanatec software!

Great! But what about all users stuck with their device without any customer support reply?
My steering wheel is under warranty but doesn't work. And no one is here to help! really disappointing.
You'd better focus all your efforts on fine-tuning the drivers and firmware to make it very robust and polished and not as it is now.
Does this apply for the DD Extreme, in order to receive recommended settings for Console Games?
I'm still holding off to upgrade from DD Pro towards DD Extreme, because there are no recommended settings for games like Gran Turismo 7, F1 24, Forza Motorsport etc.
Is there anything planned to support Console Users??
No, this is a PC software only.
Do your Fanalab profiles work in this new app?
Yes :)
When you go to the Game Profile Page there is an import button specifically for importing from FanaLab. It's also explained in the App Tour when coming to the page the first time.
So far the Beta is trouble free. Its a much better Fanatec Control Panel replacement.
If I were you, I would record the case number and start a new email to support. In the title state the case number and need help now, please. They have a back log, but have made massive improvement to the support department. I’m sure if your kind and explain/express yourself and it’s a problem they caused they will go leaps to fix it.
further more… anyone who keep using the same old email for a support ticket, I urge you to start again noting the case number so they can reference it. Im not saying a week or two… I’m saying you’ve been waiting months for a response. They made a big change in September, so now the new owner needs to play catch up. It sucks… I know
Does this new PC app fix issue with Clubsport. DD and F1 wheel V2.5 loosing button control.
i am still on version 455, since it is last known working driver for this combo.
until working driver available, I guess I cannot explore this new software??
No. Its just a new UI, no new FIrmware included which could fix anything.
Thanks Maurice. Is there any update coming that fixes the DD with F1 V2.5 button issues? I see other comments about fixes coming in the Spring, but no news on this issue? Any time line for fix? Driver 455 is quite old now.
thanks for your time.

That issue still could not get reproduced by the devs so it wont make it into the spring sustaining release but will slip at least into the summer or maybe even autumn sustaining release.
