    Hi,

    Since the yesterday's update, the leds of my CSL wheel base are not working properly. (Everything was perfect before the update, I've check the game integrity file and the leds are working well on rf2)

    The problem: the last 3 leds no longer light up, and the 6 others light up 3 by 3 (and not individually) and at the wrong time regarding the revs of the engine.

    Anybody experiencing the same problem? Any idea?

    Thanks,

    Just to mention: I'm not the only one suffering from this problem (in our french sim-racing team, team-gtr3)... Definitely a bug associated to the last update. Please consider looking at it.

    I have the same thing happening to me as well. Hope they can fix this in the next update.

    That's strange.
    I have also a CSL wheel base (+ formula rim) and I don't have that.
    What's your Fanatec firmware version?

    I also have the xbox wheel P1. And the CSL wheel base is the "xbox" version.

    The bug has to be related to the last update released:
    • Added support for colored rev LED’s on Fanatec CSL Steering wheel P1 (Xbox & PS4)
    => I didn't understand that note in the changelog as the led's were working perfectly and natively before... Now it's simply broken.

    It's the the leds on the steering wheel itself.
    Not the wheel base.
    But now it looks like the wheel base acts the same way as the steering wheel?

    The led on the steering wheel was working also before.
    And it still works properly.
    But indeed, it's the leds on the wheel base that are working badly. Yes, you could consider it acts a bit like the steering wheel in the sense that, when accelerating, the three first yellow led light up together (and not one by one, not progressively), then they switch off and the three red ones act in the same way, then they switch off and... nothing happens anymore (the three blue ones never ligth up)... It is very weird and disturbing. Moreover, I did not find a way to switch off completely.
    I've a race in our sim-racing team wednesday and I think I will give up as it is not convenient to drive like this...

    I hope the developers will start considering this problem. I'm pretty sure that it occurs for everyone with a csl wheel base :(

    I have a CSL Base with the BMW GT2 rim and have to say that the lights on the base work fine. However I have the earlier CSL.

    Yeah, same as Paul.
    But mine is Xbox compatible.
    But I think it's linked to the steering wheel that it acts like that.

    I have reported it to the devs. Thank you :)

    Yeah, it has to be related to the wheel used!
    Thank you very much for reporting it to the devs !
    Well appreciated ;)
