    Just installed rFactor 2 with Sebring and GT3 car pack from Steam. Unfortunately, my new Fanatec CS v2.5 with CSL Elite LC pedals and McLaren GT3 wheel aren’t registering any inputs with rF2. Can detect wheelbase and load correct preset but upon game launch cannot leave pits due to lack of steering, shifting, throttle or brakes.

    Have installed latest drivers for wheel base, pedals and rim. Fanatec wheel calibration app shows everything properly. Also works fine in ACC.

    Can tech support or someone with experience please help? Thank you.

    PC specs:
    Alienware Aurora r7
    • 8th Gen Intel® Core i7 8700
    • 16GB Dual Channel DDR4
    • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 with 6GB

    Was able to self-solve this by the following steps:

    1. Delete player and control JSON files to start from a clean settings slate.
    2. Select ‘detect’ controller profile “Fanatec CSW v2.5”
    3. Load profile
    4. ESC all control assignments to ‘empty’. One at a time.
    5. Reassign each input on wheel and pedals.
    6. Save modified profile.
    7. Finally got to do some awesome laps around Sebring in the 720s

    So perhaps the default profile for the CSW 2.5 has a config issue with the latest drivers?
