Thanks Montoya. Didn’t see this one on Fanatec website. And well I was already using that plugin for rF but an alpha version.

Works great! :)

Very nice! Does anyone have any idea what kind of frames that the hud on the wheel will take? For some reason when I tired the first version, it took about %20 off my frame rate. If that’s normal, its a no-go, but if its better now, that’d be great!

Also, the new tweaks to the vibration motors sound sweet too ;D

These drivers are actually giving me a world of pain…

Awful at centering, can’t detect any rfactor installs, hard to get the Fanatec control panel, keeps giving me the windows one…
