Known Issues:

  • After the driver installation or firmware update, it is possible that the wheel base is not shown in the device list anymore. If this is the case, launch the driver installation again and run the repair function.
  • Podium wheel base jolts can happen on ITM or analysis screens of the wheel base display. A workaround is to use the default screen with “Fanatec” logo while driving. 
  • BME MPS first input change after booting not recognized, fine after the first input.
  • MPM has not its own image in the driver property page but inputs are shown correctly.
  • If the Podium DD is put into COMP mode for the first time after driver installation a restart might be needed so the property page can get opened without an error message.
  • BME mouse emulation not working correctly
