Will do Podger, and thank you.

Yes, I really don't like clogging things up for others.

I will compose my thoughts for the e-mail and layout what I have and what I am doing.

Thanks again.

My drivehub works great with my CSR but I'm getting a V2.5 in a few days so I may have the same problem as you. Can you please post how you solved it when you can or pm if you like. Thanks.

gt_fan, I haven't even e-mailed Collective Minds, and it just ended up working out.

Tied up last night, but woke up early this morning. I wanted to be accurate with tracing my steps and reporting back to CM (which I still will do, questions with AC, and potentially switching to F, FL, or DD for other games)

I actually had to go back and re-calibrate my shifter, just because I did not do it properly the night before. So when the re-calibration was done...

1. Controller plugged into DH
2. Wheel plugged into DH
3. DH plugged into Console
4. V2.5 on and in PC mode.
5. turned on the PS4 Pro.

DH cycled properly (track configuration) and then indicated "C S 2 - 5 C S 2 - 5 0" (obviously assuming that after the "C" it was an "S").

start GT-Sport...man, gt, I changed nothing in the settings and the FF was STRONG. Everything seemed to work; breaks, shifter, FF, buttons. Very responsive.

How responsive? I took 12 seconds off of my previous time with the TX at Kyoto in the R18 TDI. This speaks very well of both my new Fanatec gear (wheel/breaks) and the communication with, and through, the DH.

I don't anticipate you have any problems.

However, in Asetto Corsa my shifter wasn't working. The wheel was recognized as the G29, which as I understand it will do, but for some reason the shifter wasn't registering. Otherwise, everything else was fine.

Really considering getting Dirty Rally and trying it in DD mode, if I can get it to switch (didn't work the other day) and possibly Drive Club VR in FL.

GT, buddy...you WILL be smiling from ear to ear.

Have you tried running AC while your DH is in fanatec mode (for AC you have to switch before launching the game) ?

AC, you turn on H-Shifter at the bottom of the FFB menu.. But the car must be a manual, or it has no effect, try BMW 318, it has 5 forward gears, so 6th and 7th does nothing..

I assumed that, and I really didn't want to contact you guys over it as I figured I just ran out of time this morning and was going to look further in the set-up. Still ended up just forwarding an update to you guys a few minutes ago (including the AC shifter issue), but more so with my questions with respect to switching F, FL, and DD modes.

Again and as always, thank you. I still don't think I have found the right words to express my gratitude to you guys for creating this product.

Thanks, Shinu. I just e-mailed CM asking that question. I read the Drive Hub manual, but just could not get it to work. Still assuming that it is a mistake with me!

You just have to press and hold start/option + select/share buttons. In most csw rims it's two bottom black buttons

Shinu, thanks man! I will let you know how it works out...hoping that is was just me not pushing long enough.
 
Can any of you guys running CSW v2 / v2.5 can tell me what settings did you end up using for GT Sport ? , i seem to have a hard time deciding on something. Thanks !

Max, no worries. However, can you please further explain what settings you mean? Do you mean actually in-game settings or CSW settings? For example in game I've had the FFB at 7 and the sensitivity at 2. However, may switch tonight as the FFB was...not necessarily too strong, but awkwardly strong. It just didn't "feel" right.

It so new to me I haven't fiddled around with anything really yet on the wheel, but I want to...it's been a dream.

Thanks for the great feedback. My stuff will hopefully arrive on Monday - can't wait. Postage here is flaky - 5 boxes were sent, I received one on Thursday. One arrived in my state yesterday and the other 3 arrived this morning - haven't got the 4 boxes yet, marked for delivery on Monday. Looks like they sent 5 boxes in 5 different trucks. Cheers :cheers:

I mean the CSW settings , if you changed anything or if anything has a big impact on how it feels , i'm running it on default , not too bad i would say but i know it can be better. Hoping Poly will implement official support for the CSL soon.
 
If I'm running the drive hub on the ps4 will I still be able to plug headphones into the PS4 controller? I heard that once you plug the ds4 in that it becomes useless and you have to do everything from the wheels buttons.

Even if it does, Sparco, I believe if you have a second controller you MIGHT be able to turn that one on. I thought I saw Bill Marsh doing it on a video and some may have mentioned it in here.

Not 100% sure.
 
I am using 2 controllers for Drivehub. Controller 2 just gets plugged into Drivehub and it just sits there doing nothing. And Controller 1 I can still use to navigate menu and stuff. Both are assigned to the same user.

Looks like I'll have to pick up another controller (sigh) that sucks but at least since it's the holidays I can get one for cheap.

Or, depending upon price, can you do the wireless platinum or gold series headphones, on sale for maybe a bit more?

I know it still might be through the controller, but I believe they still work when the controller is off.

There are a lot of gaming headsets options. If your wheel has buttons and you only need the audio output there should be a great bargain right around the corner for the holidays. Do you have a favorite pair of headsets? There are ways to use the ps4 audio output for any headphones

I think just getting another controller would be easiest,I already have a headset that I really like,if it was just for listening I'd probably just go with the Bluetooth headset but since it's also for party chat and when I livestream I'll just stick with this,thanks for the suggestions though guys much appreciated
 
Got off work today and came home to be welcome by a package from collective minds :),works flawlessly aside from the issue that there's no way to access the ps home button without disconnecting the ps4 controller and doing it from there,idk if there's a work around for that but I'm getting a 2nd controller anyway so it won't really matter.

My setup
Thrustmaster TX
T3pa Pedals
TH8A Shifter

If you have a Guide button on your wheel, that's probably the PS Home button as well. Works for my Fantec CSR.

The thrustmaster tx has one but won't respond when pressed,I didn't bother updating the Drive Hub so maybe it's in one of the updates.
 
Yeah in most TM wheels with the "normal" button layout(458 Challenge, TM28 Leather, 599 Evo, and even the TS-PC) the "knob" pressing down is PS home, rotate clockwise is Option/Pause and rotate counter clockwise is share.

TM F1 wheel is weirder but the toggles on the bottom are those functions. TM F1 wheel actually works great in the game because the 2 rotary knobs corresponds to the MFD scroll and adjust functions.

The TX guide button is L3 on the latest update. What rim do you have? i have the tm28 leather and the PS home button is pressing down on the small knob. Keep pressing buttons until you find it lol

I have the Ferrari version of that and yes I totally forgot that was a button lol thanks much appreciated
