Drive Hub Racing Wheel Converter

Same issue on my side with the CSW 2.5 + Drivehub. I thought the Sport mode was broken because the races I tried I couldn't keep up with anybody at all and always finished a lap down. Will try later with the McLaren wheel in Xbox mode if that fixes the issue. It's "playable" against the AI, but Music Rally or Online races is absolutely a no go.

Please keep me updatet if Xbox Mode works in Fanatec Mode on Drivehub. Then I could also try that the next days.

Messing around on the PC control panel i found these settings. However, they don't save after i change them. How does it work? lol wanna try them out. Only the FFB setting is working

You may already know, but 439 is available on Fanatec’s site. When I went to the newest, that’s when it started working reliably even in the license tests for me.

How do you get your BMW wheel into Fanatec mode with the CSW2.5? I found this site, which mentions the red button on top and the black one at the bottom. But using these buttons on the PS5 just takes a screenshot and on PC I don't see anything changing, neither on the wheel, nor in the fanatec software. I'm on the latest firmware since this morning for the CSW, no idea what I'm missing .

i make sure I’m NOT in the game. You need to be at the PS5 desktop, so you can see your games. Then you turn on your wheel AFTER the system is running, and hold the bottom two buttons for about 5 seconds. When you see the screenshot… keep holding. It should eventually show “Controller Disconnected” on the screen, and that’s when you look at the LED display and see if it says L 3 times or F 3 times. If it’s the latter, start the game and you should be good to go. But you’ll want to update the wheel base and other firmware while connected to a PC to 439 if you haven’t already.

Hi I am using DFGT with GT7 on PS5 (DriveHub and Hori). Everything works except 2 problems:
1) sequential shrift stick is reversed (back pedals work properly), temporarily getting around this by flipping the L1/R1 assignment (thought this was fixed before...)
2) GT7 not detecting brake pedal's full travel, so 100% brake is applied when brake is only half depressed, making it very hard to drive with constant lock ups unless I brake very gingerly

Does anyone have solutions?

Thanks

Xbox mode doesn't do anything as the console won't recognise the wheel at all, but the suction from Merman works. Oddly enough though for me it works when in Logitec Mode (3 L). When in Fanatec Mode (3 F) the game runs slow. One thing of note is my firmware isn't up to date on the wheelbase because the updater keeps crashing for me.

Thanks dude. Working for me now at normal speed, however for me it works in Logitec Mode. In Fanatec mode the game runs slow for me. But fixed nonetheless.

Hello,

Yesterday when i was testing with my G29 i noticed that, the brake pedal was too sensitive. Then i remember that Logitech uses the first time you push the pedal as reference, so try starting the game and let it get to the menu/previous a race and push hard to where you want the maximum to be.

Let me know

I have now noticed some stutter at times, but it is not enough to make it unplayable, hopefully Podger can fix it.

 

[Bonse]

Thanks for the help to get mine into FFF mode. I'm having the same 30hz issue in FFF mode, however it's more playable than the oscilating.

I actually noticed it for the first time yesterday as well. Seemed to be most prevalent when do challenges that had a ghost very close to the car.

Ok so in have a different situation here. Im using the DD Pro with Sprints and the drive hub. The dd pro is set in the controller usb port as it acts as a ps4 controller.
The problem is i'm getting fps loss and its quite noticeable in slow corners.
My question , is it possible to use the drive hub with the mini hori controller and the Sprints pedals, and the Dd pro plugged in the PS5 usb port ?
Dont own a hori mini so thats why i ask.

Guess you could try it with a DS4, or maybe you have a different licensed wired controller laying around ? I had a nacon controller and that works fine as well. It should work i think only it will disconnect every 10 mins or so. But should be enough to see if it fixes the stutter for you.

If it still stutters with only your pedals in the hub try setting the hub in Fanalogic mode as that fixes the stutter and you wont be using your wheel trough the hub anyway then. Thats your best bet i guess.

The ds4 doesnt work on ps5 through the drive hub, i also have a fighting hori pad that does not work. From my understanding the hori mini does work on PS5 without dealing with the 10 mins disconnect ? If someone can confirm.

I thought it does work but it disconnected on PS5.

Either way the Hori Mini Pad should work without disconnects.

I am using a nacon controller on PS5.

Can confirm, hori mini works

csw 2.5 people, are you able to tell when when the wheels are spinning? because i feel nothing doesn't matter if i am on fanalogic or fanatec mode.. was sports like this? coming from acc feels weird, the rest of the handling is fine but i can't feel the tyres spinning

Not really no, when coming from a game like ACC (on PC) the FFB is rather dull (using Fanalogic mode atm) and hard to tell you're on the edge about to slide before it's too late and either the wheel starts to countersteer or you just spin out.

That said, overall it still feels OK for Gran Turismo.. I'd like to try Fanatec mode but currently it causes FPS issues for me.

I have hori on Ps5 and it's fine.

 

[Mad1723]

@Podger Sorry to tag you into this, but do you have any info on the framerate issue with the Fanatec mode in GT7? Do you need any logging or help with finding the issue?

 

[maxzibit]

Ok so it seems that having the DD Pro plugged in one PS5 console usb port and the drive hub with Sprints pedals and mini hori in other usb port, dont work together at the same time as they are both seen as a ps4 controller. Where as having the DD pro plugged into the drive hub works at the same time with the ps5 controller.
I've tested the drive hub with the dd pro in the Fanalogic, Fanatec and DD mode, only Fanalogic mode doesn't have the frame loss but the FF is lacking.
Waiting for some sort of fix with an upcoming Drive hub firmware, hopefully..
@Podger ... Is it possible to add support for the Csl DD, DD Pro in the future? 🙏

I’m running the DriveHub w HORI mini controller, PS5, CSWB V2, CSP V3, SQ Shifter, Handbrake. Not had any noticeable frame rate issues in GT7 4k Resolution HDR mode. Driver 437/FW 688 on the wheelbase (one back from the latest). Latest FW on the DH. Pedals, SQ, HB all connected to the wheel base.

All gold on the license test through Int A so far. Running in Fanatec mode on the drive hub.

Upped the FOR setting since GTsport but otherwise same wheel settings ran fine first try. I do not have a PS5 wireless controller active.

Weird.. were you able to complete the music rallies?

 

[RS60NR]

Did the first 3 with the controller while it was downloading, but with the wheel later I was not able to get through the 4th one - did not associate that with this issue. Will have to compare the controller

EDIT: OK ran #4 w the controller and was able to get all the way through. Definitely something going on but strange its not showing visual as stutter - just slower speed of the car.

For those with a Thrustmaster T500RS, here's what Drive Hub support said about GT7/PS5 support...

Summary first, then their quote second.

• It works, just not officially supported.
• You need a wired approved controller.
• There are some force feedback issues with it that they're working on (although some people in various forums think that it's a game issue that PD will have to solve, not a Drive Hub issue).

To quote them...

"With a PS4 hori mini pad although it is not officially supported on PS5 yet. But yes you could use this method as an auth controller which would work for Drive Hub. There are some issues we are currently working through on GT7. We have had reports of force feedback issues."

 

[Seanooobee]

Hi, was using the G920 and a drivehub to play on the PS4. The controller disconnected thinking that the battery for my DS4 was dead, but plugging and resetting the PS4 does not turn on the drivehub. I tried plugging the drivehub into my PC and the eyes and RPM LEDs are not blinking anymore, all I see is a black screen. I've sent tickets and emailed contact support due to frustration that it was just working fine a moment ago. Thanks for any help!

Could you tell me what firmware version of DriveHub you are using? 2.07? 2.08?

I have a hunch that this is a PD, Hori, or DriveHub issue rather than Fanatec, as I tried plugging in the DriveHub with ONLY the Hori controller attached (no wheel or any other accessory) and the stutter kicks in once logged into the PS5. If I choose NOT to log into the PS5 there is no stutter. If I also unplug the DriveHub (with only the Hori controller attached) during stuttering gameplay then everything suddenly becomes buttery smooth again. I would test with a DS4 to see if it is any different but I no longer have one unfortunately.

The stuttering is having a very significant impact on gameplay. When I manually timed with a stopwatch some recorded gameplay of driving around a short oval (Northern Isle Speedway), the time disparity between what the game displays and reality is quite drastic, even taking into consideration the human error in manually operating a stopwatch.

In-game / stopwatch
Lap 1: 25.800 / 31.03
Lap 2: 22.329 / 27.10
Lap 3: 22.242 / 26.66
Lap 4: 22.218 / 26.95

Lastly, I am currently on Fanatec PC driver 439 on a CSL Elite 1.1 connected to basic CSL Elite pedals plugged into a DriveHub using firmware 2.07.

hi
as @dazza23 mentioned we are looking into this, I have a brand new DD pro granturismo ready to go and test.. it will take a few days to look into it and get it sorted..

Thank you for looking into it for us. You mention using a gt dd pro for testing/patching the issue. Should the fix also apply to the csl dd (non PS version) as I assume that's what the majority of direct drive users are using with the drivehub?

 

[Melfice7]

There's definitely something weird going on with the force feedback of G27 in GT7 on PS5 too

 

[Frisk_]

Hi there,

I use a T300RS in PS3 mode with aiologs shifter and brake. Drivehub has last beta FW and I'm playing on PS4 PRO.

Everything is working as expected but not for a long time in GT7. I lose FFB randomly and it's not sudden, I can play normally a couple of races but for example if I spend time tuning a car in GT AUTO and then go back to race, sometimes there is no FFB anymore. Have to kill app, restart DH and then restart game to enjoy again.

I know many of you are focused on PS5/DH combo but if you have any insight about this issue that could help me, it could be nice

Thx
