Important Changes:

New Tuning Menu "Standard Mode" is the default mode for all bases: 

  1. In Standard Mode only essential settings are available. 
  2. Standard Mode features only one custom setup. Advanced Mode features the usual 5 custom setups. 
  3. In Standard Mode the range of available settings is slightly reduced to keep them within reasonable boundaries.
  4. Users can switch to "Advanced Mode" to unlock all settings via the driver UI or by holding the Tuning button for 3 seconds while being in the Tuning Menu. 

New "Auto Setup" which is the factory default for P DD, CSL DD, GT DDPRO, CSW V2.5, CSL E WB PS4:

  1. Settings in Auto Setup can only be changed by the game, for example to push recommended settings. 
  2. While in Auto Setup the user can only view the settings, but not change them. 
  3. If the settings aren't set by the game, the factory default will be used.
  4. To customise settings the user can choose one of the custom setups.

Names and order of some settings in Tuning Menu adjusted for various display types:

  1. "APM" / "Analogue Paddle Mode" renamed to "ACP" / "Analogue Clutch Paddle Mode" 
  2. For "FFS" the "PEAK" setting is the higher and "LINEAR" is the lower setting
  3. Order of the "MPS" setting adjusted
  4. SHO can be set to ON or OFF
  5. Other slight naming changes for different display types

  • Improved logic for pedal pages:
  1. Analogue pedals or no pedals connected to WB: Pedal page will be shown by default but can be hidden via toggle switch on the pedals or settings page. (Base can't detect analogue pedals which is why they need to be shown by default)
  2. Pedals with load cell connected to base: "Pedals via Base" page is shown and can't be hidden.
  3. Pedals with load cell connected via USB: "Pedals via USB" page is shown and can't be hidden.
  4. Pages can be toggled to be shown again via the settings page.

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.
  • CSL Elite WB 1.1: Positive drift mode values are missing, will be fixed in next version.
  • BME: LEDs brighter than before, might be too bright for some users. Will be adjusted in v20 to the level of before. We are also considering making it adjustable in the future.
  • New function to calibrate handbrake when connected to wheel base only works when also Load Cell Pedals are connected. Buttons need adding to the page for analogue pedals which is shown by default.
