    First of all, it was an absolute breeze to update without any issues, thank's to this article by Fanatec:

    https://help.fanatec.com/hc/en-us/a...m-a-Clean-Installation-of-the-Fanatec-Drivers

    I was hoping it would resolve the lights and display issue in Ams2 but it did not.

    Base: Clubsport DD with Fanatec 1.4.2.3 driver, all 3 wheels updated to latest firmware.
    Using custom profile in Ams2.
    Wheelbase is always in PC mode, since i only have a PC.

    3 apps while sim racing: crewchief, second monitor & simhub (to control 1 led flag indicator, 1 button box and 1 lap timer-racelogic).

    Aftermarket parts ? Absolutely none, zero mods on any of the Fanatec gear, albeit thinking of adding a haptic feedback motor to the brake pedal.

    I have the Fanatec DD1 and the PDD, combined with the GT3 Podium and Rally Monte Carlo bundle. On my hardware, the LEDs and dash are working fine. Perhaps there’s an issue with your Clubsport DD.

    I would advise either sending a support ticket to Fanatec or starting a topic in the support subforum. I think Ace and I have provided all the possible solutions we could think of. Please let me know if you contact Fanatec.

    I will definitely create a new post in the Fanatec forums, however what puzzles me most is that all the lights & display are working perfectly in all other sims i use.

    That is indeed unusual. I hope Fanatec can provide clarity and resolve your issue.

    Some progress!

    Home page of Fanatec app, at the bottom are the sims the app finds, moved the mouse to Ams2 and a gear icon appeared, had to confirm that i have actually switched off in sim rpm led settings. So now everything is working as intended and it feels amazing! :)

    I'm not sure if this would have worked with Fanatec driver 474 (without Fanalab).

    In the new app (1.4.2.3) the gear icon is also appearing for ACC, now it wants me to disable in sim Fanatec lights. There is nothing to confirm for Ac Evo & Rally, both worked without having to press on the Confirm button, even though there is a confirm button for those 2 sims also. It would be good for Fanatec to add a star note to change log for the confirmation process.

    On another note, when you have a Direct drive base at 15nm, but you set it to 12nm, does the base use the additional 3nm headroom at all ? I hear people saying it is good to have headroom, but how does it actually come into play ?

    Thank you Marius & Ace
