Formula Steering wheel is recognized as a CSL Elite P1 (CSW)

In order to cross out an issue on the hardware side, we recommend performing the following:

1. Inspect the pins at the back of the steering wheel and check for any broken or missing ones. You may notice that one of the pins is shorter, however this is normal and by design. In case you find a pin that is broken or missing, please directly open a support ticket. Should the pins be fine, please proceed with the following troubleshooting steps.

2. Inspect the screws located in and around the connection pins, and make sure all of the screws are hand-tightened. (Note: the screws inside the hub of the wheel base will also have to be checked.)

To do so, you will need two Allen keys: A 3 mm, and a 2 mm for the center screw. On the following picture, you will be able to see the screws in question, along with the maximum torque that should be applied to the screws:

3. Check for any pending Windows updates. These should also be performed if available.

4. Make sure to have your wheel base connected to a Windows PC via a USB connection cable. Do not use a USB hub or a USB extension cable, in order to prevent any issues. We always recommend plugging the device directly to one of the USB ports located on your PC's motherboard!

5. Make sure to have any antivirus program(s) disabled before installing the latest Fanatec Driver Package.

6. Download and install the latest Fanatec Driver Package. You can install the latest Fanatec Driver Package via this link.

7. Open the Firmware Update Manager by clicking on the update tab in the Fanatec Control Panel, and perform all of the available firmware updates.

8. Once you have performed the steps listed above, open the Fanatec Control Panel, and verify the proper functionality of your device(s). We also suggest double-checking in game.

In case the issue persists, we advise opening a support ticket. In order to speed up the support process, it would be helpful if you could also provide us with the following additional information:

- Did the issue occur out of the box?

- Test the wheel base with other steering wheels, if available.

- A short video illustrating the issue.
