big things are happening in gaming, read some thingz and get nervous, all the console racers are coming whether you like it or not, you won't be a 1%'er for long.
I have the PBME/ITM working in legacy mode on ps4 just as it does on pc. So works the same for everyone, but is flipping awesome feeling to have a sweet round rim again!
Workable and Just the best feeling rim i have ever had!
🤘🤜🤛🤘
edit, oh w8, i just caught the comment at the end, 😬😄😅😂🤣!!!!!!!!
ITM is intelligent telemetry mode - lap times, race position, tyre temp, fuel etc. That does not work on PS4 and currently only works in one of the five permutations on PC. Fanatec can't make this work on PS4 - that is down to Sony choosing to support it. The display will still show gear and speed just like any wheel on PS4 - that is what is being referred to as legacy mode. It is separate from ITM.
And this "Having a sticker on a product that says "PS4 ready" is incorrect, when in fact, it should read "PS4 compatibility".... makes no sense. It is ready for Sony to choose to support ITM, but ITM is not currently compatible with PS4 so surely the former is better? I admit is could be clearer but I think I understand it, so others should manage.
I don't think moving to a PC would affect your level of wankerness. :-)
On Console VS PC I will say that I was a Xbox Loyalist for years... When Pcars 1 launched I bought a PS4 just to play Pcars 1 on...Once Sony stopped Fanatec wheels from working by Not allowing game devs to program in support for them I Moved to PC!!! and Swore If Sony for EVER!!!
PS4 delivers Better FFB its much closer to PC FFB than Xbox... I have Pcars 1 and 2 for both Systems...But I will say once I went PC that is the First Time I Really Experienced what My Fanatec v2 and v2.5 could really Do!!!....I was totally blown away by all the subtle Nuances that you just can't get from console.
tried My DD2 on Xbox for 10min and that was that🤐... Best I can say is the DD2 w/Xbox Hub works on Xbox🤣
Don't get Me wrong Nothing wrong with Console Sim Racing I did it for Decades!!! But if you really love Sim Racing...PC Sim Racing is where you Need to Be... Its just a whole New Level Of FFB and Immersion.
Next Gen Console specs do look promising...But by then PC CPU and GPU's are going to be more powerful also.... PC is only more expensive at the time of building them... Other than that in the long run its much cheaper than console gaming... Games are always on sale...PC Sim Racing game selection is much much more than console also.
right, i knew this. however, at around $700, whats up with not including them or if the wanting want them have them available for those with many different rims? In fact any rim that says ps4 whatever , at the rate they charge, all should have them.🤷♂️
In my haste I tore apart my UHX and attached the Porsche bits without thinking that there wasn't support for it. Hopefully the appropriate firmware update comes sooner rather than later as well as a fix for the drift -5 issue. 🤞
Hi all, we have a problem with our new bran steering wheel Porsche, we got it mounted in a Podium and working in PS4.
After install the new driver 353, install fanalab, and follow all the steps on the readme file, (except last step in fanalab, because we don't know which combination of buttons means in the manual) everything works perfectly, except the PS button, there is no way to make it work.
When we test in the preferences tab, the software receive the signal of the button, but ps4 does not recognize, I guess.
Any solution for this? Which one is the button combination for fanalab?
According to the quick guide it should be button number 4 for the PS Button. Which Wheelbase do you have? Are you in PS4 mode? Do the rest of the buttons work on the PS4?
ITM works in all Sims which are listed in the list which you downloaded with the software package. If some parameters are not working this is due to them not being available in the telemetry output from the game so nothing FanaLab can do.
Also what do you mean with not registered parameters when in CSW mode? Only project cars 2 should be running in Comp mode anyway. But I don't have any issues with Comp Mode on my end.
Update: I contacted support and downgraded the base firmware with the driver v335. The motor firmware I left in the version that came with v353, which left the wheel vibrating a lot until I also downgraded the motor firmware. The wheel still doesn't connect, so I am sure I have to sent it in to the workshop at Fanatec. Unfortunately I threw away the outer transport cardboard box that holds the inner Fanatec box, so I am asking them to give me quote on a transport box. Does anyone have any experience in sending units to Fanatec for repairs? Which courier service do you use? How long should I expect before I receive my unit again?

Can exchange wheels and configure through Fanalab without any problems. Have noticed with the Endurance when I return to the pits via an EXIT/ESC that the motor clunks on occasion (seldom). Thought I observed in the Wheel Properties Function Test the top two switches of the APM indication the opposite selected, seems to have been correct by some software update along the way.
I hope that the ITM will not require two buttons to change. Hope it can be changed on the fly like a car dash.
I am guessing that the LEDs not available in iRacing are due to a lack of that data from iRacing.
I find that both wheels are very usable and that the in sim expedience has not been diminished by the changes .

The PS4 button caps of the Formula V2 also fit on the Porsche steering wheel.

How do I get fanalabs working with my Super Nintendo?
Its Plug and Play🤣🤣🤣 Works Great on My Atari 2600 and Colecovision😉
No ,no, you need a drive hub, a new coke can(as in 80s new coke) and a coat hanger for that mod. Buhahahahahhaa!
right, i knew this. however, at around $700, whats up with not including them or if the wanting want them have them available for those with many different rims? In fact any rim that says ps4 whatever , at the rate they charge, all should have them.🤷♂️
Definitely shouldn't have to ask for them?
I need the Fanatec cable that goes into a red, yellow, and white cord and I couldn’t find that in the box 🤷♂️
In my haste I tore apart my UHX and attached the Porsche bits without thinking that there wasn't support for it. Hopefully the appropriate firmware update comes sooner rather than later as well as a fix for the drift -5 issue. 🤞
UHX already supports the BME.
Oh. I am confused then. I updated to 353 and firmware to 669 but there was no Update Steering Wheel Firmware button. I'm using the V2.5 base.
did you download the driver package from the thread or webshop?
The correct drivers are the set from the webshop>pbme product page> downloads.
Good luck.
this is it maybe?
may bad, for csw v2.5 compatibility, sorry.
The rim spins and is sweet though.
No worries! I will just need to reassemble my stock UHX until the firmware is released. Happy New Year!

i have all ps4 buttons working, however they aren't where they don't match the insert .
Dd1 v353
v670_rev1819
v38
v9
v2
Did i get it right, i think i did?
So they don't match the quick guide? Didn't know that, my bad then. Can't test this myself...
this is what it is, but all are working.
and this guy is hooked up for business.
Hi Sascha, I use DD1 PS4 base, I'm in PS4 mode and all the buttons works perfectly, except PS button
The PS button works for me as it should and as it is shown on the quick guide. when you press the FS down it also triggers the PS button function
DD1 v353
v670_rev1819
v38
v9
v2
PS4Mode
The driver version (535) that you have to install in order to make the endurance button box work is unstable.
Also, the interactions with Fanalab, which is also in beta are shaky, the ITM doesn't work on some sims.
The driver doesn't register certain parameters while in CSW 2.5 mode.
I understand the concept of a BETA driver, but why is there not a proper non beta driver version with a new product?
Why do I have to be a "beta tester" when I paid good money for a new product?
When will these issues be resolved?
Thanks in advance.
ITM works in all Sims which are listed in the list which you downloaded with the software package. If some parameters are not working this is due to them not being available in the telemetry output from the game so nothing FanaLab can do.
Also what do you mean with not registered parameters when in CSW mode? Only project cars 2 should be running in Comp mode anyway. But I don't have any issues with Comp Mode on my end.
More to follow: R300 wheel mounted
Update: I contacted support and downgraded the base firmware with the driver v335. The motor firmware I left in the version that came with v353, which left the wheel vibrating a lot until I also downgraded the motor firmware. The wheel still doesn't connect, so I am sure I have to sent it in to the workshop at Fanatec. Unfortunately I threw away the outer transport cardboard box that holds the inner Fanatec box, so I am asking them to give me quote on a transport box. Does anyone have any experience in sending units to Fanatec for repairs? Which courier service do you use? How long should I expect before I receive my unit again?
