Important Wheel Config Info

16 Sep, 2016

Before update 2 was released last night, it would have been possible to configure your wheel as a "Separate USB" device in the Controller Config Utility and it would have worked. However, with this patch, your wheel can't be configured this way. The "Separate USB" setting in the Controller Config Utility is meant for shifters and pedals. If you are experiencing issues with your wheel not working, please confirm that the "Separate USB" setting is set to NO.

(see sample image below)

Thank you.
