Auto setup indication?

In the Fanatec official FAQ section, there's a page saying there is a "Auto Setup indication will be shown when a game actively uses Auto Setup": https://fanatec.com/us-en/faq/details/id/36
I'm using DD Extreme and I can't seem to see this indication anywhere on my GTX wheel. I already selected AS. Any info that I'm missing?

I think this indication is currently not yet implemented into the GT X Firmware at all.
And even on other wheels I think it only works from time to time. I never got it to reliably indicate that AS is actively used by the game.
Thx Maurice for the quick reply. I also have a Fomula v2.5, is this implemented?
See my edit. Is definitely implemented into other wheels but not reliably working. Dont even know if this is even supported on console at all or just PC as previously this feature was only ever used by R3E on PC anyway and no other game supported this..
OK thanks again. The 1.49 update log said the game "will load the optimal parameters for playing Gran Turismo" when selecting AS. Vague as hell but it seems GT is now actively using the feature. Though I guess we'll never know.
Oh it definitely does use this feature and the setting do get loaded. This is tested and working.
It is just not indicated on the wheel - but it definitely works.
The settings however imo are not good and shouldn't be used. They use waaaaaaaay too much Damper so you dont feel anything. It is always FAR better to use your own settings.
Intriguing... Thanks. One more question: If set to AS, does GT7 load different parameters to the wheelbase depending on the car? Or it's just an universal value set, identical through different cars?
No. It will just load one setting which the game devs thinks is good for the entire game.
I assume AS supports this "dynamic parameters" but it's up to the game devs whether to use it, am I right? If the game natively support this, it's almost like the game implement the Fanalab itself.
No, it Doesnt support anything Dynamic per car. It is ONE setting for everything which the game pushes to the Tuning Menu when you go into the AS Mode. It can not detect cars and load settings specifically for them.
Thank you for detailed and honest answers!
Do you know what the current Auto-settings are for GT7?
On a GT DD PRO you can see this in the Tuning Menu by pressing the Dpad up/down.
On the CS DD+ there is a Firmware Bug where it's always shown als LOCKED and you dont see the actual values. You would need to attach the base to a PC to read out the settings in the driver itself.
But AFAIK the settings are bad, something like NDP 60 which should make the game issue of heavy oscillations less but even such a high NDP value, where you dont feel much of the car anymore, is not enough to mitigate the oscillations anyway.....
you are totally true at here. in fact i to use that with fanatec SDK.
and yes, depends off game developer it is totally possible use that for every car differently
Really? Although I just know a little bit of coding, I'm eager to hear more. Where can I find this SDK btw?
you not need SDK. let the game developers todo they job
for you would be this SDK useless as you need know allot more than little coding
