Hi Marcel. Just wondering if there's any possiblity of getting some adjustment in the driver to allow the turning force to reduce itself at low/parking speeds, but not at the full force end of the range? I think this is what Simcube have made possible and it would be a really good option for Podium DD wheelbases.
We are working on some more adjustabilities for pro users included in our upcoming software. The feature you mention which simucube has works differently, it reduces static forces while cornering.

The problem is that
the Wheel Base is not showing up in the "Game Controllers"
window that is accessed by the Fanatec Wheel Properties Page placed
on the desktop after the install of the
2019.07.03-Fanatec_driver_340.
I am attempting to
switch back to the DD! from a working V2.5.
This procedure I
followed which worked when I successfully switched from the DD! to
the V2.5.
Done in the same
order only the drivers removed are different.
Before restarting I
noted that the Fanatec Wheel Properties Page shortcut was no longer
on my desktop. I also checked that the Fanatec drivers where no
longer listed on the Uninstall or change program page.
I then ran
Fanatec_64_driver_340.
After restart the
Fanatec Wheel Properties Page shortcut was again on my desktop.
However when I select it The wheel base does not show in the window.
When I setup my rig to be able to swap between the DD! and the V2.5 I set it up so that all the cables required for either installation where nearby. I also left both power modules connected to the power strip. When I mounted and connected the cables to the DD! I had the the USB for the V2.5 connected to the computer and the other end set asside with the power cable and the DD! USB only connected to the DD!. The pegboard makes the cabling neat but does place a curtain between the rig and the computer.
After connecting the DD! USB to the computer all is fine.

When going back to an older driver, does it work then?

Sorry I've found my problem.

I did not have to go back to an older driver. I did need to Flash the firmware via the DD! properties.
I've used the 340 with both the DD! and V2.5 and both give better (IMHO) road feel. I was particuarly please with how I did not loose feel with the DD! in order to be able to make hairpins turns with the wheel giving me feedback not fighting me.
hi, the zip file has motor v18 and v22, not 20 like it says on the OP
this is inside the zip:
EBLDC_V18_rev162_app.hex
EBLDC_V22_rev335_app.hex
and it says:
Known Issues:
The
"notchy" issue of CSW V2.5 and CSL E PS4 which some testers experienced
is still under investigation and couldn't get fixed yet. I've attached
motor firmware V20 which has less coil whine than V18 and less notching
than V22 according to some testers.

Scroll down a couple of posts, there is a re upload with V20
According to your experience with all the so far tested combinations of Driver and Firmware, may you please state what so far seems to be the best combination for the CSL Elite PS4 with the Basic Rim, and under PS4 usage (mainly) ??? Please???

BUG - When I have my Fanatec H-Shifter plugged in AND when I have a 2nd shifter plugged in (Ascher Racing Push Pull Rally Shifter). The 2nd shifter will not function properly. Instead it will show push pull rally shifter stuck in Reverse on the H pattern and if I try to shift with the paddle it goes from stuck in reverse to 2nd gear. When I let go it goes back to stuck in reverse. The only way around this is for me to disconnect the H pattern shifter if I want to use my Push/Push. This issue happens on all of the current beta drivers you starter releasing when you released the DD1. I think the last FW where it worked fine was 334.
EDIT: So this issue has happened a few times. At least 3 times. However I don't rally race that much so hooking up the push pull shifter isn't something I have done a lot since getting my DD1 at launch. Anyway I just want to report back what happened just now. I thought it would be a good idea to get a video of this to post here. So I went back and unplugged both shifters to start over. Now it's not replicating the issue. However I know this will happen again so I will post when it does. I'm not sure what causes it. I tried swapping the cables, plugging them in one and a time, both at the same time. It will not reproduce. I'll try to get a video but I would suggest troubleshooting this if your staff has the hardware.
yesterday I found out, that the handbrake only works, if the DD2 is put in v2.5 compatibility mode. In PC mode, the handbrake is not recognized, and is show as pulled.

Is that a bug? Same happened with the 335 driver.
The handbrake should work the same in both modes, does re-plugging or re-starting make a difference? Can you try to enable manual mode in the settings tab and then manually calibrate it?

I can't enable the manual mode, because there is no checkbox. I think it's because I have no Fanatec pedals.
I tried different things, reinstall driver and reupdate base without handbrake plugged in, restart pc and base, with and without handbrake. I think I tried all configurations but always the same result. works in v2.5 mode and not in PC mode. And in PC mode always handbrake-trigged indicator, no matter if handbrake plugged in or not.
You are right that manual mode only works with our pedals plugged in. I've tried it another time here, this time without pedals plugged in as well but again for me it works the same in both modes. Interesting that you get the full handbrake signal also when no handbrake is plugged, but if it's working normally in one mode it shouldn't be a defect of the port or the DD itself. Did you downgrade also the Wheel Base firmware manually when switching back to the 335 driver? Please do that if you didn't already to see if it's the firmware of the DD.

I think other user has already posted something about the base freezing when turning it on or changing modes, I can report that this issue hasn't been adressed with the latest driver.
To clarify the issue: when turning it on, at the point we have to press the buttons to clear up the torque messages, sometimes the base freezes and not even the profiler can be accessed. The only solution is to press the e-stop red button.
Some feedback about this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks we are aware and try to find the root cause to fix it.
Marcel...
With this driver, maybe just luck but I haven't had a freeze... But I still sometimes don't see the first torque message, the "design" of the message is there but no text, just the outlines, as soon as I press one button than the second message appears ok. This was something that used to happen when was going to get freezed, but till now I've been luck and no freezes with this driver...
If I press the acknowledge button immediately when the first torque message pops up it will work every time for me. If I wait then the chances are about 50/50.
Have been using this driver for weeks. Don't understand what happened today. I'll try to describe the event:
PC driver 340
WB FW: 658
WBM FW 30
SW FW 28
Started up computer, depressed remote power button and the wheel came up but was stuck in the torque question. It would not respond to pressing the button to proceed. Looking at the Fanatec Wheels Properties the base thought it was a universal hub. Sorry I did not check the FW configuration at that time. I tried to then power down the base with the remote switch and held the button in for much more than 5 seconds but it did not power down. I then pressed and held the power button on the back of the DD! holding it as well for more than 5 seconds and it did not power down. I then restarted my computer but after restart nothing changed. I then shut down the computer and started, no change. So I then hit the emergency stop and the DD! power was removed. I power it back up but again it did not recognize the F1 wheel. I removed it and re installed the F1 but no change. I then swapped out the F1 for the 918 and the 918 was recognized. I then swapped back the F1 and it was recognized.
So I entered a IMSA race at LeMans. I was able to make a qualifying lap and the paddle shifters worked as I expected. Then I enter the grid and the paddle shifters no longer shifted. I had to go to the options page and reset the shifteres to the exact same settings they already where in qualifying only moments before. But I missed the start. Once I got back into the race it seemed to work as it had done in qualifying which is the configuration I've been using for weeks.
