Fanatec WRC Elite wheel not working on Dirt Rally 2.0 PS4

[SilentRage47 0]

I just bought the new Fanatec WRC Elite wheel with the CSL Elite base and is not working on DIrt Rally 2.0 PS4.

Everything works fine on any other game, even Dirt 4.

Hi there,

Checked in with our inputs specialist who has looked into it and here's our findings:

• DiRT Rally 2.0 handles wheels differently to previous DiRT games, in that it detects the rim and the base as separate units.
• As the Fanatec WRC Elite wheel is brand-new, we do not have an input map stored in the game (ie, no default button layout).

 

Here's what we'd recommend you do:

1. Have a controller and a wheel (+rim) plugged in at the same time.
2. With the controller, navigate to the Inputs menu and scroll down to your wheel.
3. Select the wheel and head to where you can assign buttons.
4. You should (hopefully) be able to assign your buttons and pedals from there.

 

You might end up having to navigate menus in the game with a controller, but if this works you would still be able to drive with the wheel.

Hello PJ and thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately I don't see the wheel in the input menu, only the Dualshock 4 is listed there.

Will the game ever be updated to resolve this ?

 

Thanks

It is currently not planned I'm afraid, as we're nearing end of updates for the title as a whole and it's too late to add it to v1.16.

I'll keep an ear out though, and if that changes will share an update.
