    Is it possible to show a blinking LED shift indication with Raceroom and the Fanatec Formula steering wheel?

    I'm asking because with upcoming cars like the Porsche 911 RSR you don't have any ingame indications (when you turn the wheel/hands off) and steeringwheels like this are perfect for those cars, however, it's pretty painful to drive when this indication is missing.

    (In ACC for example this works directly out of the box.)

    Ok I think Fanaled is the only way to change this, which means another additional program... :(

    You can enable the in game HUD (full not mini) and then move it central to where it would be if it wasn't on the wheel if that makes sense? Then toggle it off when you don't want it.

    I'm one of those guys who always turn that hud off xD but thank you for the idea.

    I'm just curious why they didn't implement that basic shift blinking indication, I mean the information is there. But maybe it's on Fanatecs side to implement that stuff, but I don't know x)

    Yes me too. I don't like stuff on my screen.

    I don't know re the fanatec stuff. Does the gear indicator on the wheel work?

    Yes also ''Fixed wheel'' would be a no go :D

    the gear indicator does appear too early for upshift, you see it here with the [1] :

    not even close to the limit.

    The Revlights itself are quite accurate with the ones ingame,
    just that blinking is missing, which makes precise shifting a guess game.
