    Hi all,
    Does anyone have any experience using a Fanatec CSL elite on PS3 with a Drivehub, specifically with Gran Turismo 5? Or perhaps in a position to test? I have the CSLe PS4 version with load cell brake pedal. There's not much info out there, and much of it is conflicting. I don't want to waste my time/money on a Drivehub if it's not going to work. On the other hand, if it does work will be on the lookout for a cheap Drivehub if anyone has one for sale..... Cheers.

    Best info I can find is this
    https://www.reddit.com/r/simracing/comments/p8lza3/has_anyone_tried_hooking_up_a_csl_elite_to_a_ps3/
    https://forum.fanatec.com/discussion/2616/is-csl-elite-ps4-compatible-with-older-ps3-console-gt5-gt6
    https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/drive-hub-racing-wheel-converter.358306/

    Apparently it's compatible provided you have to connect a native controller for that console to the drive hub at the same time in order for the authentication for the wheel to work.

    Guess I'll have to try for myself to know for sure!
