Known Issues:

• On DD1/DD2 the Formula V3 is sometimes not recognized after boot and DD1/DD2 OLED is showing "WARNING Steering Wheel not supported! Please update the Firmware" error message.
  • Restarting the Base gets the wheel recognized again.
• The Display of the Formula V3 has delay on DD1/DD2 and CSL DD/GT DD Pro, resulting in errors refreshing ITM values properly and showing incorrect Tuning Menu texts. When staying on a Tuning Menu settings page the left Setup row also disappears after some time.
• FunkySwitch rotary inputs of the Formula V3 are missed in the Tuning Menu when rotating fast.
• Some message screens of the Formula V3 sometimes get stuck and don't clear until Tuning Menu was manually opened.
• Several ITM features like setting a favorite page or auto-page-switch function is not working yet on the Formula V3.
• The FFB gets lost after hot swapping the wheel while being in game which requires a game restart to get FFB working again on ClubSport DD and Podium DD Bases.
• The Tuning Menu of the Bentley GT3 wheel is not working properly on ClubSport DD and Podium DD Bases.
• The FunkySwitch rotational inputs of the BME are not registered properly on ClubSport DD and Podium DD Bases.
• The telemetry data and LEDs can be delayed which can cause a freeze of the Display data and LEDs.
• The Button LEDs reset to pre-defined default colors when starting the App instead of keeping user-specified LED colors.
• The RevStripe toggle always resets back to ON after restarting the App.
• The loading of profiles is unreliable and sometimes a profile does not get loaded properly.
  • A full rework of the game profile management is planned to fix all kind of profile related issues.
• The communication between the App and the Base is sometimes not working so Tuning Menu changes made in the App are not sent to the Base.
• The Tuning Menu settings are sometimes not saved and restored after a restart of the App.
• The App collects several GB large files of log data when USB pedals are used.
  • Until the issue is fixed with a future App update, customers should delete the log files from time to time manually.
• Some inputs like clutch paddle input or FunkySwitch rotary inputs are slow/delayed in the App.
  • This is just a visual issue of the App, the actual input is not affected.
• When entering a game menu while driving it can happen in some games that the FFB effect doesn't get canceled which results in the wheel turning to one side.
  • This got fixed for the Podium DD some time ago but can still happen on the CSL DD. We have reworked the communication protocols between the base and the motor and are in advanced testing to apply the fix for the CSL DD with an upcoming special driver release.
• Natural friction (NFR) can start to feel weird after some time of driving and can cause shaking / oscillations.
  • In case you experience issues with NFR, we suggest to turn it OFF for now.
