I got it working. For other peoples reference, I had to flash to 2.0.0.7 I believe it was on the vnm shifter. Then had to calibrate it. I flashed it down to this level before but I think something else was screwing it up or I didnt flash it correctly. I had to give quite a few attempts at calibrating it before it operated like I wanted.

My set up is CSL DD, Heusinkveld handbrake, TM TLCM, vnm v1 shifter, and TM TSS.

Some further notes. I cant use the TSS and the VNM without significant lag on the VNM shifter. Im going to try an USB switcher so I can leave both hooked up and swap them on the fly with a button push.

I had to be in fanatec mode for all this to work. I have two wheels, one with a clubsport hub and 2 button modules. I had to buy an regular fanatec wheel for it to register the share/select into fanatec mode properly.

Now everything works relatively properly.
I'm sad I won't be getting my restocking fees back, but I'm more excited that you were able to get everything working!
 
Guys, whoever has the Simagic P1000, per Collective Minds this morning, "please try 2.1.2 Beta 38, and let us know on P1000"
I'll try the shifter tonight. Let's hope this solves it!

Checking now

I got Beta 38 installed and can happily confirm my P1000 pedals are active and work within GT7 however the game thinks the accelerator is the clutch and there doesnt seem to be away to switch the input in the game menus.

I'll send this info to them now

To those with the Simagic shifter, please try the new beta as well.
 
Well, I’m at a loss and will probably be returning my drivehub. I have tried it with multiple shifters now and the shifters simply don’t work. Most recently ordered the VNM shifter and got nothing when trying to shift with it. FFB feels great and exactly like it does without the shifter, but if I can’t use any shifter other than the horrible Logitech one with my g pro wheel I see no point in keeping the drivehub. I guess if I don’t hear back from support to get things working I’ll look into modding a Logitech shifter instead.
What did you end up with for a shifter? Is the simagic working now?
 
I sent PID info for the Simagic H shifter to Collective Minds a few days ago. They are working on it now. I'll chime in soon, hopefully with good news.
 
Thanks for staying on this, I'll try the beta tomorrow with the DS-8x shifter. I ended up buying the Fanatec SQ shifter as CM didn't give me much confidence...
As of Friday, they are still working on the Simagic shifter. I hope it works so I can get the p1000 pedals while they are on sale.
 
I've tried searching this thread but still need some help. my setup G27 stock pedals and shifters (it works on the PS3) currently i am trying to set it up with the PS5 slim i have drivehub firmware updated already. so I plug in the wheel and then the hori mini controller into the controller port. then i fire up the PS5 from the system and then plug in the drivehup and the wheel will try to calibrate it will turn to the right and then stops no lights on the shifter light up. The ps5 recognizes that there is a usb controller attached but buttons are not responsive. The drivedub unit does flash G27 when i plug it in initially. Has anyone else with a G27 experience this as well?

What wheel are you using?
And have you updated the drivehub firmware?

I am using the Logitec G27 wheel and I have the hori mini control pad drive hub is flashed with 2.1.2 beta.1 and i have used 2.1.1 as well but same thing
Beta is higher than 14 now, maybe 39. Make sure you are using the latest version.

Does anyone know if the beta updates include compatibility for all previously added peripherals? When I tried to get the Simagic shifter working on beta 39 the VNM no longer worked and I had to flash to beta 35. I'd hate to add P1000 pedals that work on 39 and lose shifter compatibility. I was excited at the idea of running both on one beta and hopefully the Simagic shifter and pedals together with a future update.

Yes, I've flashed to 2.1.2 beta 39. Still getting the same thing I plug in the drivehub to the ps5 the wheels will try to calibate will only turn to the right and then stop. If i press the left button on the drive hub the shift lights will all turn on and it will flash G27 and then disconnect

Have you tried plugging everything together first including the drivehub to PS5 usb, and then turning on the PS5. I don't have your exact setup, but it's what I do.
Also try pressing L3 and R3 at the same time after the drivehub loads up. Maybe try not pressing buttons on the drivehub.

If that doesn't work...

UPDATE: So I think I've been able to find out most of what I need regarding the GT DD Pro + Drive Hub. I'm deleting my post because it was all on the Collective Minds website. I passed over some of their links since other areas of the site appeared outdated, but their instructional sections are largely up to date.

That said - I am still curious if anyone with a similar setup had to adjust their FFB settings on the DD Pro after connecting through Drive Hub "native"?

Hi guys, how to switch Fanalogic to Fanatec? i have a Drive hub, CSW 2.0 and a GT V2 steering wheel, i play GT7 and i have an empty space on the steering wheel when the car is going straight. that is the main problem. I tried holding the P1 button on the drive hub according to the instructions, but the steering wheel still remains in LLL mode
