[PS4] Fanatec hardware discussion thread

[alitomr1979]

I am now considering the Fanatec CSW 2.5...I'd like to know if it is currently working with the ps4. I will include the pedals and probably an F1 and the bmw GT wheel.

How likely is that system to work in GRan Turismo Sport?? I am in the USA, btw... no option for the official ps4 compatible CSL Elite, and wont wait indefinitely for it. I need to buy in the next 10 days to start playing PRoject Cars 2 in the PC. But I own a PS4 and would like to be able to use with it whatever sim racing rig I end up buying.

The CSW v2.5 is not a licensed wheel so it will not be supported on PS4. The only way to get around that is to use a ChronusMax (Plus) or similar device, but that is of course at your own risk (not that it will damage your wheel, but it's not something that Sony approves).

Hello, I will apologize in advance if there is already a resolution, but I have searched and cannot locate anything. I have not used Project Cars in about a year, but when I last did, I was able to play without issue. I have a PS4 with the Fanatec CSR Elite wheel and pedals. I remember having to get the game started with the dual shock and then at the race Start menu, power off the dual shock and power on the wheel, put the wheel in PC mode, and then start the race. I also remember having to have the clutch mapped in the configuration to a face button (i.e. circle button). I have all of that done but when I start the race and it is about to begin, the screen that appears is in the Pause menu and I cannot Resume to get into the race. I can access other menus in the pause screen such as HUD config, simulate rest of race, and exit, but I cannot press X to Resume out of this screen into the race. When I press it, it flickers as if it's going to resume but will not leave the pause screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have used my Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel with Project Cars 2 on my Playstation 4 and everything worked fine! The wheel did it's job just like 5 years ago in Gran Turismo and other racing games on my Playstation 3.

Recently I have upgraded from the Playstation 4 to the Playstation 4 Pro. I have transfered my profiles from the PS4 to the PS4 Pro and wanted to continue playing Project Cars 2 now in 4k and some more graphics details.
The Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel (PWTS) is cannot connect to the PS4 Pro anymore...! This is super sad.

Has there been a compatibility change from PS4 to PS4 Pro with the old Fanatec wheels?

Sounds to me like you never updated your original PS4? Sony switched from allowing all hardware to be supported by developers to only allowing certain licensed hardware quite some time ago already. I think this was introduced through an OS update on the original PS4 as well I believe.

So unfortunately due to Sony deciding to go the licensed hardware route, a lot of old hardware has become obsolete. The only way around it is to use something like DriveHub to connect your GT2 to the PS4 (it emulates a Logitech wheel IIRC).
