Fanatec Announcements: CSW V2 Reviews Out

[JogoAsobi]

Anyways, on topic. I didn't know you already told him else I wouldn't have

No problems, just wanted to pass the information on to the rest of those that might not know.

The link for the CPV shock was actually posted back in April on the CSP V.2 Intro thread by thehawk05.

ok so my buttons on my wheel were not working correctly so i reflashed the wheel and now all the buttons work. but now my wheel does not calibrate correctly. the rotation is off maybe so 20 degrees. when my wheel it centered it doesn't think it is centered.

 

[superbike81]

Have you done the centering calibration yet? I'm not sure which wheel you have, but if it's the CSW you make your wheel centered, press the little button to bring up the "5_1" on your screen, then press the joystick and rotary encoder in simultaneously and hold them for a few seconds, then turn the wheel off and back on. You should now have your new center.

 

[LogiForce]

It's S_1 btw, Superbike. S not 5 as the S stands for "Settings Profile"

 

[superbike81]

Oh I always thought it was a 5, LOL.

 

[LogiForce]

It is hard to figure out from the shape anyway, so figured as much.
It could have been a 5 but it wouldn't make much sense then. At least not to me.

Will do so when I get home from work. Thank you!

The short answer is:
1.Make sure your Force Feedback ("FF") is on and set to 40 or higher.
2. Make sure your Centering Spring ("SPr") is on and set to 40 or higher.

You forgot to add the difference in force needed to do that with different rims!
If you use the GT rim it wont center while the Formula will, both with 100% spring force.


The Longer Answer is:

If you want to see where the wheel thinks center is, then you need to turn on Force Feedback and Center Spring and set them at 40 or higher. After the startup the wheel will then snap to center position after the startup tests. If this is to much force or center spring you can reduce them, but you should always set them on and at 40 or above when changing the center position to verify the setting.

Here are all the steps:

Initial Startup:
1. Turn on the wheel
2. The wheel should do the start up test rotating one way then the other
3. The LED screen should then indicate the firmware release. In my case it is 032 then 016
4. While the LED is displaying the firmware, a factory default wheel will quickly snap to the position defined as center.
5. The video manual seems to indicate it will always return to the center position but this is not true, it will only
snap to the center position if the centering spring settings is on and high enough to accomplish the move.
Many people don't like a strong centerspring, so they reduce the Spring setting and this make the wheel not
auto-center after start-up. (this is not a problem, but it isn't what people expect either.

Changing the Center Position
1. Turn on the wheel
2. Let the wheel complete the startup testing
3. Turn the wheel until you judge it as centered
4. Press the Tuning Button (small black button to the left of the LED screen)
5. The LED screen should now say "S_1"
6. Keeping the wheel in the position you want defined as center click down (toward the plane of the wheel face) both
of the joysticks. This is a click like a mouse click not moving the actual sticks downward.
7. Press the Tuning button and the LED screen will go blank
8. Turn off the wheel by holding down the Start button until the red light on the start button goes off.

Adjusting the Center Spring Power
1. Turn on the wheel
2. Let the wheel complete the startup testing
3. Turn the wheel until you judge it as centered
4. Press the Tuning Button (small black button to the left of the LED screen)
5. The LED screen should now say "S_1"
6. Using the right joy stick click it right until the LED says "SPr" (This was 9 clicks for me)
7. Rotate the right joystick and notice the numbers on the LED change (Range is Off-400)
8. Change the number to the desired setting (if you want the startup centering to happen it should be 40 or higher)
9. Press the Tuning Button and the LED should turn off.

Adjusting the Force Feedback
1. Turn on the wheel
2. Let the wheel complete the startup testing
3. Turn the wheel until you judge it as centered
4. Press the Tuning Button (small black button to the left of the LED screen)

looks like I've even missed out on the second batch. Not heard anything since the original two emails that where sent after the failed launch.

Sorry to hear that Rob. I hope the next batch will not be delayed and in a few weeks you can enjoy your wheel. I hope you have good news soon

Regards

Sucks Rob
I'm so glad I cancelled. I spent the money having aircon installed in my movie room and dont regret it. I'll look again nearer christmas although I'm finding I spend less time racing than I used to anyway..

 

[the_greeze]

Aircon is awesome Steve 👍 I have it my converted garage where my rig lives. Couldn't be without it! Cool in summer, cosy in the winter

You bet
I've not been around here much lately..but I do keep an eye on your (and Mayaman's) thread to see what updates are on the way

Airconditioning is one my best investments of last couple of years

Cheers guys. I too hope that the next lot arrive fairly quickly. Will just have to sit tight and wait.

Thomas, if you read this could you please provide a rough date estimate? Even if it's via PM. I know it was beyond your control the fault, but I feel let down. As a customer paying money yet not knowing where the product is, it's not 100% ideal.

Hello. I'm a brazilian customer. I'm a new member. So, I have a G27 and I intend to use its pedal with CSW. What is adapter that I have to buy? There are 2 kinds! Help me, please.

The CSW does not work with the Logitech pedals via adapter currently as far as I know.

 

[amf7]

I'm certain Thomas said it does. I don't have time to go through the posts tho.

 

[amf7]

@Dopplegagger
The CSW and CSR E will have an adapter to make them compatible to the screw inserts of the PWs so all cockpits (and the table clamp) which are compatible to a PW will be compatible to the new wheels.

Actually seatch button.

 

[amf7]

This is done now. The G25/G27 and all analog Fanatec pedals will be compatible with the CSW

I actually raised this question on behalf of someone who purchased a CSW I tested before sending it to them on page 373 of this thread, post #7457.

But it never received follow-up reply.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Post 7457:

Also, where is the G25/G27 pedal adapter for the CSW?

The adapter status does seem a bit confusing since the CSW Base's current product web page states the following under the Compatibility heading:

"G25/G27 pedals (with optional adapter)"

But neither the Adapter's or Adapter Cable's product pages list the CSW at the time of this posting.

Be nice if this is clarified, the guy who bought the CSW wheel I tested (pg. 362) before I dispatched it to him in a far away land was confused and purchased one along with his CSW.

I believe Mayaman stated in his CT that he could not get his to work with CSW, but I cannot remember if you did so in your CT paskowitz. Perhaps a future firmware update will rectify this?[/QUOTE

Any info that sheds further light on this would be appreciated.

Fanatec...

So I guess according to amf7 this has already been done somehow. Via firmware on production CSW, or on the Adapter?

I ordered a Bodnar adaptor for my G27 pedals to plug directly into a USB port, but I never used it with my CSW so I do not know if it works.

The pedals should work because it makes them independent through a USB port

does anyone have their directional pad working in iRacing?

 

[Raitziger]

Quiet before storm?

 

[KashunatoR]

Quiet before storm?

what might the storm be?

question: i will be ordering the csp v2 soon, but how do I know they are in stock? there is no information about availability on fanatec page. once the order is placed how long do you think it will take to receive the package? ( Romania is pretty close just 21 euro transportation fee)

Thanks!

IIRC, there was a post in the iRAcing forum saying the D-pad does not work at least on the CSW in the game. One of the iRAcing guys posted in the thread that are working on getting the D-Pad to work in the game.

Has anyone else noticed a slight squeaking noise on the pedals of the CSPV2s? I noticed after prolonged use in long races I get a slight squeak in/around the accelerator pedal. It is not a big problem but I would like to see if I can make it go away. Is there a lubricant that can be applied to stop the squeaking that is safe for the pedal operation and finish?
Thanks!

I had the same issue with my CSP and i sprayed a bit of siliconspray on the small rod at the back of the pedal. The one you can use to adjust the throw.

That solved it for me
