Hey guys. I have a problem with my V1 Clubsport pedals. With regard to my set up, I hook up the Clubsport pedals directly to my PC via a USB port and I hook up the T500 wheel and THR8S separately via separate USB ports. Everything has worked fine until the last few weeks. A few weeks ago, I started a race on iRacing and my pedals went dead. No gas, no brake. I exited out of the race and went back in and the pedals worked fine. I have done dozens of races since then with no problems. Fast forward to last night. I ran two iRacing qualifying sessions with no problems. When I got ready to start the Class A fixed qualifying session, the pedals went dead again, no gas, no brake. I exited out of iRacing and checked the driver. The pedals were there. The gas worked fine, but when I pressed the brake pedal, I could only get about a half a bar in the driver, even if I pressed really hard. I tried disconnecting and re-connecting the pedals. No change, they were dead. I also tried rebooting the computer and again, no change.
Any idea what could be going on? I am still within my Fanatec two year warranty and so I can probably get help from them.

Mine do that in rFactor from time to time. In fact, it happened last night for the first time in a while. I just have to exit the game to get them back. As far as only half a brake pedal, when mine did that, it turned out to be a bad load cell.

Not sure about the disconnecting issue, I only run my pedals through my wheel. I think Stinky is right about the brake. Mine did the same thing not too long ago and it was also the load cell. Make a video showing what the pedals do on the Fanatec properties program and contact Fanatec support. You know the drill, you have been there before.  |

Craig, let me know if you want to borrow one for troubleshooting. I've got a couple spares I picked up when I ordered my GT3RS.

Craig, let me know if you want to borrow one for troubleshooting. I've got a couple spares I picked up when I ordered my GT3RS. Thanks. I think I am OK, since I bought a spare a while ago and have not used it.  I no longer believe I have a hardware issue with the Clubsports. Rather, based on my experience last night, I think it was an iRacing issue. I ran the pedals last night for Spazcar and they worked fine. After we finished Spazcar, I went into iRacing and noticed that some control calibration was needed for the pedals AND my T500 and THR8S shifter. After I calibrated everything again, including the pedals, I experienced no additional problems. iRacing seems to be sensitive to changes in wheels, pedals and/or shifters (and most likely button boxes). And, I have lately been changing my controls because I switched my THR8S to the H shifter mode. It is very possible on Monday night that I modified my shifter after the Class C qualifying race which in turn caused iRacing to bunk the pedal settings. So, in the future, before I blame Fanatec for my problems, I should double check and see if iRacing has caused the wheel, pedals and/or shifter settings to be changed. |
