iRacing and Simucube 2

I am happy with my settings. Recon at 2 or 3 is extremely grainy, I’m surprised people are ok with the grainy feel. Those settings you posted from a previous posts are not good at all. A lot of the settings I have tried are grainy and just not realistic at all. I can’t go lower than 6 in iracing without getting a grainy feel. Thanks, I have been learning what the filters do and have a good understanding. My post was responding to someone that wanted us to test his settings

You can try SlewRateLimit @±1,50 to get rid of some grainy feel and then try lower ReconFilter.

If im not wrong, with iRacing Signal being 60hz you can reach 25.1Nm with 1.5Nm/ms on Slew Rate limit

Sorry for the dumb question, but I’m literally brand new to iracing: What are your in-game settings? Perhaps a screen shot would be most helpful. I can’t get slider to 42Nm, so I’m guessing I’m looking in the wrong place…

You need to click once on the label to switch to NM mode.

As @datoml said when in the iRacing settings click on the word “strength” and if you have the FFB in Linear Mode it will change to Nm… Once this happens you will be able to set the 42… With this slider the Higher the Nm the lower the force as the number indicates the point at which iRacing will consider the Telemetry to be 100%…

here is an “old” forum post that I made on how the iRacing force system works:

Thanks for the clarification! I would have never discovered that if you click on Strength, it changes the units displayed to Nm. In my opinion, they should add a blurb about that to the tooltip. So, to summarize your in-game FFB settings: Max Force=42Nm; Wheel Force=25Nm, Damping=0%, and Min Force=0.0%. Is that correct? Just trying to figure out a starting point given your True Drive settings.

Correct.
That’s the right starting point for iRacing.
In case the FFB is too strong increase the Max Force.
I usually drive with 70-90 Max Force :see_no_evil:

Also, in case you have load cell pedals. Set the Force Factor to 0.0.

Yes that would be how I run it… generally with direct drive you don’t want to use any of the iRacing provided filters as they are very simple in nature.

in the new software 2021.9 + True Drive Paddock, how do I choose my own old profiles to be default profiles? every time now i start TD, i have to go to Paddock, then click on offline mode and choose my own profile in the list which i imported before, why can’t i click on it and say default profile load every time i start the SC2?

Setting a default Paddock profile is at the moment only possible in the actual Paddock mode, not the backup/fallback offfline mode.

paddock mode, doesn’t it upload and download everything?

Yes, paddock mode profiles are in the paddock cloud and they are also cached to offline mode in case of Internet issues.

Hi,

I have a question regarding. FFB in iRacing. I use an SC2 Pro and my friend uses a Fanatec CSL Elite and I have to say his wheelbase feels better, specifically when it comes to the feeling of the car being connected to the road and overall tyre feel (slip, scrub etc) I thought this might be to do with linear mode on vs off, but both still don’t give the same. What am I missing on my SC2 Pro that will give me more tyre feel and overall connection with the car on the track? Many thanks.

What are your current settings, what have you tried so far? Have you tested some of the Paddock iRacing profiles others have made available?

Also you ask others to guess which settings would work for you. Meaning if my settings provide all those effects and I’m happy, doesn’t mean the same settings feel as good in your opinion.

That’s really strange. I had the opportunity to try a DD1 a few weeks ago and have to say that the SC2 Pro feels much better.
Have you tried some Paddock settings?
What are the settings of iRacing with you?

Thanks for your replies. I have not yet tried the Paddock settings but have been on Youtube trynig the settings from well known YouTubers and cannot get that tyre feel that I can feel with the other wheel base. I will continue to play around

I use to have that feeling with the Fanatec DD1 … were you able to recreate that with the SC2 Pro Brooksy?

I come from a DD2 and I had to dial in some friction and inertia to get the same feeling as on my DD2 with 0 friction and inertia.
Once I found that out, I have basically the same feeling but smoother.
My profile is called Lambo GT3 on the Paddock. Give it a try and don’t worry too much about the name of my profile. It works for most cars.

Very nice. Came here looking for something that would give me more mid-corner / slip angle information. Yours had some of that. Felt pretty good in all other respects, too.

Still, it doesn’t have exactly what I’m looking for. Just wish I could get some info like AMS2/rF2/ACC has.

Do you mean information like seat of pants?
