Known Issues:

  • Podium wheel base jolts can happen on ITM or analysis screens of the wheel base display. A workaround is to use the default screen with “Fanatec” logo while driving. 
  • BME MPS first input change after booting not recognized, fine after the first input.
  • MPM has not its own image in the driver property page but inputs are shown correctly.
  • If the Podium DD is put into COMP mode for the first time after driver installation a restart might be needed so the property page can get opened without an error message.
  • BME mouse emulation not working correctly
