Does pedal calibration reset every time you unplug USB or turn off computer? Elite V2, mine do. HELP

I have tried and nearly given up at this point. I have tried both through CSL DD, DD+, USB stand alone (current mode) and no matter what I do, it ALWAYS resets my calibration data requiring that I calibrate before any session (after computer reboot or disconnecting/reconnection pedals). I thought it was my base so now I have been running it in USB mode and no difference.

One thing I noticed in USB mode (now that firmware data shows up) is that it's showing

PC DRIVER 457 (I have uninstalled and tried 455, 456, same thing)

FIRMWARE

Pedals : 0

hmmm? Is that my issue? I updated them some time (not many updates for CSL Elite V2s) and they've always just worked (minus the calibration saving issue)... could this be the cause?

when I go to "FIRMWARE UPDATE" it says New Pedal Firmware Available 1.6 (for my pedals).

When I open "FIRMWARE MANAGER" it says:

"CSL Elite Pedals V2 Firmware: 1.6

"Firmware is up to date"

so which is it? is it up to date or is it not?

Or is this just a glitch with 457? It's so hard to tell because some versions of Control Panel had faults and showed no firmware data so I never know.

Please help, having to calibrate every session (because I turned off my PC or unplugged pedals USB port) is not only annoying but it's hard to get them exact every time!

Anyone have this issue and found a solution?

    1.6 is the most recent Firmware.

    That the Control Panel shows v0 is a cosmetic driver issue without any relevance to be fixed with driver 458 or 459.

    That BRF gets reset is a known Firmware issue to be fixed sometime in the future, absolutely no ETA for this yet. It's known for quite some time though.

    I understand BRF gets reset, if that was the only issue, Fanalab takes care it anyways. But it's not just BRF for me, entire calibration gets reset, requiring that I start over and recalibrate every time. Is that a known issue as well?

    No, thats highly unusual.

    Thanks Maurice, I'll bite the bullet and reflash the 1.6 firmware and recalibrate to see if it starts to stick. Was just avoiding this process if it was already 1.6. WIll provide update later if that resolves the issue.

    I had this exact same issue with my CSL Elite Pedal V2.

    If I set the dead zone (min or max) in any of the pedals, then turned off/on the base, it would lose my dead zone calibration and I would had to do it again.

    In the past I had tried plugged in with USB and still the same issue. But mine would show the correct firmware version in Fanatec Control Panel.

    Today I decided to search for a solution and found this thread and decided to give it a try on William's idea to reflash the pedal firmware.

    To my surprise, it fixed the issue. I now tried with pedal connected via base and USB. After restarting the base, restarting windows, changing plugged via USB or base and it kept my dead zone calibration every time..

    Thanks a lot William!

    I'm using driver 455, since it's the most recent stable version.

    William, did it fix for you as well?
