The Fanatec official Stream Deck receives a new version

The Fanatec official plugin for Stream Deck is getting a new version. This plugin seems to be a very valuable resource for Elgato device users, who can control the Fanatec wheelbase parameters in real time.

The official Fanatec Stream Deck Plugin is now available on the Elgato Marketplace. This integration allows sim racers to bring their hardware control directly to their fingertips, optimizing interaction with both the wheelbase and live telemetry during a race.

Key Features of the Fanatec Plugin

Unlike traditional, static button boxes, the Stream Deck can now adapt dynamically to your driving needs. The official Fanatec plugin delivers two critical layers of functionality:

• Live Telemetry Data: Your Stream Deck keys transform into real-time telemetry displays. You can monitor race position, fuel levels, tire temperatures, and flag warnings directly on the keys (telemetry support is game-dependent).
• Fanatec Tuning Menu Control: Make on-the-fly adjustments to your Force Feedback (FFB) and other vital hardware settings without navigating clunky on-screen menus.

You can download the latest version directly from the Elgato Marketplace.

Expanding Your Setup: Beyond Fanatec

While the official Fanatec plugin is a significant addition, the Stream Deck has already established itself as a highly tactical tool for sim racing enthusiasts thanks to a robust library of third-party simulation plugins.

To maximize your command center’s efficiency, consider integrating these popular plugins alongside Fanatec’s:

• Racelab: Highly recommended in the community, the Racelab plugin allows you to easily toggle overlays, manage pit stops, and track relative gaps with precision.
• iRacedeck: Turn your Stream Deck into a fully-featured iRacing control panel. iRaceDeck gives you instant access to hundreds of controls — pit stops, cameras, replay, telemetry, chat, and more — all one tap away, without ever leaving the cockpit.
• SimHub: The definitive dashboard and tactile feedback tool. Connecting SimHub with Stream Deck allows for limitless custom telemetry mapping across almost every racing simulator on the market.
• Title-Specific Integrations (iRacing / Assetto Corsa): Dedicated tools designed to manage black boxes, auto-fuel calculations, and pit strategies seamlessly.

Combining the native hardware control of the Fanatec plugin with telemetry systems like Racelab or SimHub turns your Stream Deck into an essential, centralized racing dashboard.
