FanaLab - Share your favorite profiles

Hello FanaLab users, here you can share your favorite profiles. I know some of you have already a big collection of car specific profiles for a couple of sims so now you have a proper place to share them. Please keep it structured and informative like in the example below. Please read through this post before uploading or downloading any profiles.
Because of requests I'll link here the profiles of Maurice Böschen so they are easier to find. Thanks to Maurice for providing them!
Everytime you post profiles, include at least the following information:
Simulation: "ACC", "iR", "rF2" ...
Car(s) or car type: "Ferrari 488 GTE", "GT3s", ...
Settings included: "Tuning Menu", "Vibration", "LED", ...
Hardware used: "DD2", "Formula V2", ...
Tips:
- Be aware that you can always choose which settings of a profile you want to load, because you might not want all types of settings a profile contains. For example you might be very happy with your FFB settings already or the profile you've downloaded contains settings for a different wheel base. In that case you only want to load the LED and vibration settings for example. You can do that like this:
- You load your favorite FFB profile first.
- Then you use the check boxes next to the load/save buttons to select only the settings you want to overwrite your profile with.
- Load the car specific setup.
- Then you save it again with all check boxes anabled.
- Now you have combined your favorite FFB settings from before with the new LED and vibration settings you've downloaded.
- You can export and import single settings by using the buttons on the profile page. If you want to share lots of settings at once and you don't want to export each one separately, you can find all your already saved profiles in this folder: C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Fanatec\FanaLab\settings
- You can like posts if you where happy with those profiles, that way others see whats the good stuff ;-)

Simulation: ACC
@Maurice, thank you for all your profiles. I'm working out how to use them and it seems like the LEDs are all set to 100% in some profile and randomly in others. Have I used the wrong driver version or is something else going on here? Its probably me making a noob error.
Also after changing them to be staggered it seems like there are competing signals coming through to my Podium F1 PS4. It alternates between the default lights and the set colours and %throttles.
Hi.
Unfortunately this is a nasty bug in FanaLab itself.
You can Workaround this by opening the pws file with Notepad/Editor, look for the RPM LED values, enter them in FanaLab and overwrite the profile.
We hope to have this solved with the next FanaLab version.
Thank you Maurice. Not a small amount of effort but much less than the effort you put in to create them.
I have done this for a profile I am currently racing (Ferrari 488 GT3 in iRacing) and it works in the most part. However, default LED profile looks to be sending a signal in the back ground and blue is flashing though instead of yellow every now and again. Is this part of that bug?
Thanks again. I look forward to the update and more information about the dashboard too.
You need to disable the Fanatec LED setting on iRacing, otherwise you get both FanaLab and native in Game leds which will interfere with each other.
Noob error! I thought as much. Thank you so much Maurice. Very quick and helpful responses.
Your posts have also enabled me to critically analyse my FFB settings in iRacing and I have adjusted them significantly and now how much more detail. Like a few other users in another post, I thought you must have been a massive man to be operating your FFB strength so high. After adjusting in my iRacing settings to the correct FFB strength I now use your settings in Fanalab, don't have clipping and much more detail in my wheel and can detect over over-steer, under-steer and ABS activation much more effectively. Interestingly my DD1 PS4 is auto-detecting maximum FFB at ~28nm. I assume that's because I have the DD2 motor in my DD1? Thank you again!
Just tried the import feature of FanaLab with your F1-2019 profiles @Maurice
2 points I'd like to see improved:
I noticed that any numbers with a decimal won't load properly if your Windows system is set up to read period (ie: 94.6%) instead of comma (ie: 94,6%) because the files are set up with a comma. By replacing all the commas into periods, you're not just fixing the RevLed, but also other settings like [RevLimiterThreshold] or [SuspensionTravelThreshold] which can also have decimals in them. I did this to all the iRacing and ACC files, and all my files loaded perfectly.
Hope this helps others with the same issue 🙂
I have the same issue and it's ONLY with the Formula 3 car in iRacing as well (it's with my own created profile though). Fanalab actually crashes every time that car is loaded so I think something's weird with that car. Did you manage to get it fixed?
Could anyone else in iRacing test this to confirm that profiles work with the Formula 3 (Dallara F3)? I posted about this issue already here: https://forum.fanatec.com/discussion/comment/36240/#Comment_36240
this should be fixed for the next public version.
Sorry, my brain had a mixup: it's the Formula Renault 3.5 that doesn't work (and crashes Fanalab), not the Dallara F3.
Not a fix but a workaround that I did was to copy the profile files over the correct game folder under
<drive_letter>:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Fanatec\FanaLab\settings\<game_folder>
For example, game folder "5_0" for me is iRacing.
All the profiles will now appear under Game Profile for that game. All that's left is to load and save the ones you'll be using.
Hope this helps 😊
what driver should i be using for my v2.5? also i used Fanaleds be fanalab came along and now im confused on which is better as i struggle to understand half the settings :(
What is the current state of this software? Last time I tried it a month or two ago it was pretty buggy. I uninstalled it and wanted to wait.
Version 1.23 was released a few days ago with a lot of fixes.
Ok thanks I will give it a try soon. Want to get comfortable with the new firmware first that just released. Test it before i add some more software to the mix
hi, will you update iracing profiles in line with 1.23??
@maurice böschen
Profiles for ACC...
What is supposed to be set for ACC on "SEN"? Auto or 1080 like is on recommend settings?
Thanks.
I always use Auto.
Auto os limiting my wheel to 360° any idea why? I've set 1070 like you recommend on game.
Nevermind...
After restart everything back to normal, Auto is giving 1080.
Thanks...
