What do you lose running Fanatec Podium DD in CSW 2.5 Compatibility Mode

Hi

I’m currently using a Drivehub to get my TS-XW and Heusinkveld Sprints playing together on an Xbox.

I’m really interested in getting a DD1 or DD2 so contacted Drivehub today who said it would work but I’d need to run in CSW 2.5 mode.

do you know what I’d be losing in performance by doing this? Is it a reduction in torque available? Would the recent firmware updates for the podium be useless to me running in this mode?

move had a good look around and couldn’t find anything apart from using compatibility mode to help with legacy games.

thanks in advance

I'm currently trying to make a decision on a DD wheel base. The Podium is currently at the top of my list. I will also be using the drivehub to use with my PS4.

I'm sure you will lose some FFB, but you know what ever you do have it will be smoother than running an actual CSW.

I wonder what other DD wheel bases work with the drivehub?

Thanks for input. I read somewhere that the compatibility mode would limit the FFB to that of the CSW 2.5 but I’m not sure if that’s true?

I get the full force in compatibility mode, the only difference that I can see, is that the new features can only be configured on the wheel, and not in fanalab. I don't use most of the new features anyway.
