Bug - Broken OSD Customisation of F1 Dial

In the 2026 season pack, the new 26 F1 Dial element is unable to be customized or repositioned for the 2026 cars.  It appears as if only the old 25 F1 dial element is exposed in the interface (or something similar).  There is also a secondary bug, where the size of the bounding box of the F1 dial element changes size as it is moved, severely limiting the range of motion of the element.

This is on PS5, and occurs across all game modes.  Only the F1 dial seems to be affected as far as I can tell.

Video of bug: https://youtu.be/uRHo22NW4hU

In the footage, the 26 dial is at the bottom of the screen despite it being set to the position of the halo in the interface.   I usually have the dial set to be on the halo as I am unable to see it in it's default location.  The footage also shows the issue with the bounding box changing size.  This is rather game-breaking for me, as not being able to see either the OSD (or in-cockpit ERS data) in its default location severely limits the ability to manage the new ERS system and play the game.

Happy to provide more footage if required!

    Can confirm the bug is also present on PC. The dial uses its default position instead of the one set up in HUD customization.
    HUD custo uses the correct  values in the XML file but the 26 dial uses default position and has no line dedicated to it in the XML file (should take the same value as 25 or have its own line).

    I can confirm, the F1 dial is not modelled for F1 26 in VR mode. I go to the f125 cars and it's perfectly fine. However when I enable the dial on 26 cars It will not show no matter what. I hope they fix this

     

    If they do fix this I hope it is positioned in the same spot it is for the f125 cars

    I’m having this issue too! I’ve tried several times to reposition the dial where I want it for good peripheral vision whilst driving, but it won’t stay there!

    After some further testing on this - the dial is moveable if i reset the settings to their defaults, but the bounding box size issue is still there.  The location I set it to also seems to be very offset from wherever I actually place it, and seems to move by more than I set it to.  Very strange behaviour...
