Known Issues

  • 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. We are still working on a fix which needs an extensive re-write of the P DD firmware which is why it takes so long. We are still working on a fix for this issue and it has high priority. It's taking so long because the fix needs a re-write of a big and important part of the firmware.
  • Some customers experience the issue that wheels with 7-segment display are running in low torque on the P DD. This doesn't happen for everyone and we were not able to reproduce this yet. Feedback on this issue with hints on how we could recreate it are welcome.
  • In some cases after all firmware updates are done the wheel might ask for another center calibration which can be done either via the driver UI or the button combination of the connected wheel which is mentioned in it's Quick Guide.
  • Some smaller imperfections of the new UI which will be solved in future updates.
  • USB-Adapter and Pedals plugged in via USB need to get accessed through the USB Gamecontroller overview of windows as they are not yet implemented into the new UI. This will be added in one of the next updates.


How to use the new function to collect log files

  1. Open the new UI via the desktop short cut or search for "Fanatec Control Panel".
  2. Go to the settings page.
  3. Press the "Collect Logs" button.
  4. This may take ~30 sec to collect all log files and put them into a .zip archive.
  5. The folder with the .zip will appear and you can upload it to the forum when reporting an issue.
