Thanks for the replies guys, but now I'm a little confused lol.
I got my CSR right when they came out due to 2 GT2's crapping out on me in 3 months. The CSR came out right after the 2nd GT2 went out so I asked to get a csr instead. If I don't need to update then I won't cause everything seems fine, but if there is new firmware I would like to have the newest available.

The 737 one is a fake as said by ilonioum. Only get your firmware from Fanatec.com or from Thomas (CEO Fanatec) his blog at 911wheel.de.
The quote from ilonioum from a few posts above in which he explains why it is a fake.

Thomas said there is an Easter Egg in his blog somewhere related to a brand new firmware release of the standard CSR wheel. Did anyone find that? I don't have the wheel so I'm not going to bother looking.

Simracer92 found it after some diligent searching. There's an article about it at F-Wheel.com.

There are 737 versions for both the CSR and CSR E at the link below:

There is no change log available but as far as the CSR it's confirmed that the new firmware adds the ACL feature.

It is just an Easter present for the folks who find it and he was probably figuring it would be shared by everyone. I am sure it will get an official announcement with changelog soon.
Didn't know there were eggs hidden. :/

Thanks a lot.👍 In my opinion it still a little too big though.
I'm gonna search in the BMW part catalog, to see if i can find one which goes better with the wheel rim size.

Hey all, just a heads up but my Elite is in the trading post, up for grabs. I'm getting out of sim racing for a while until after the baby gets a little older.

Thomas likes making surprises and this is one of them. If you consider the business side this might not make sense but it also doesn't make sense then that the CEO of Fanatec is hanging out with us here
In the end he is just a cool guys and I like this coolness. By the way, congrats with your red status

We're still here (well, I'm still here) and very excited about the CSW. It's just that there isn't much reason to talk about it right now. I already know everything I need to know about the wheel to know that I will buy it.
The other details, like the extra features it will have will leak out over the next few weeks.

Hi, I flashed my CSRE with firmware 737 but my PC no longer recognises the H shifter.
I've recalibrated it and it works fine in Forza.
When the CSRE is in G25/PC mode the PC has no problems with the shifter.
I've tried reflashing the wheel and reinstalling driver 115 and 116 but still nothing, the wheel also calibrates way off centre each time - I recalibrate it but any time it's unplugged or switched off it forgets the centre again.

I am the cause of that in a way.
To be honest I don't know why it wasn't password protected in the first place, but I gave Thomas that tip (via the CT supervisor as that seemed the quickest route at the time). It should be common practice anyway to password protect a site in development when it is hosted on a public domain (in other words the Internet), simply because you don't want people messing with it.

When the last poll ends and the last winner gets their equipment send to them hopefully by the end of next week, then it will take about a week to 14 days for that to arrive (maybe longer due to customs. Forgot how long the hold up was with the CSR Elite). Then after the last person gets his stuff the countdown timer until the embargo ends starts. Which is 14 days unless there are exceptional circumstances that lengthen this period. Looking at the CSR Elite launch then the CSW pre-order will start during or by the end of this testing period for the reviewers. So I don't expect stuff until after this period, which is the second half of next month most likely.
A little disclaimer. This theory is all based on the CSR and CSR Elite launches and is thus pure speculation, so there are no guaranties it will happen this way.
