iRacing and Simucube 2

YEa same thing for me.

Only problem I am having is the center spring not working correctly. Before loading into Iracing it works but after I load in its like there is no center spring whatsoever. Anyone else having the same thing happen?

Centering spring disables itself when there is any FFB being generated by the game.

Is there a way to make that not happen or leave it as an option? Center spring helps with Oval racing when coming out of corners at tend to make you spin out. Please and Thank you.

We rather leave the FFB signal to be generated by the game physics model and not do any addon effects that are not based on physics.

Then may I ask why there is a center spring option? Not being smart just actually want to know. Still learning the ins and outs of the program and FFB. Please and Thank you.

some people want to have the wheel being somewhere close to the center “by default”. Personally, I have never used the desktop centering spring.

Try increasing your slew rate to help with this issue… It occurs in many cases because the wheel is trying to correct itself when it shouldn’t. Slew rate helps limit the speed at which forces apply allowing the wheel to have a lot more forgiveness… More like a real car does.

Hi guys,

It’s time to configure the SC2 Pro for iRacing (i left this sim how the last sim to configure cos i knew it wouldn’t be easy to adjust parameters) and after a big effort, i could achieve a very nice setup, at least the “feeling in general terms” cos some effects still makes me feel lost. I love TD, otherwise i 'd have the feeling like my old TS_PC on iRacing, what it means, horrible! But i still have to get it better cos i cannot feel some important effects as they should be. One of them and the most important is the wheel slip. i feel it very very very soft when the car starts to loose the control and i have no time to correct the maneuver cos i don’t feel it. It’s too late when i realize about it. Could you give me any advice to improve it? The rest of effects on the road i can feel them decently.

I have a doubt about how to configure a parameter on iRacing:
On TD, i have the maximum strength to 7.5nm (30%) Enough for me. On iRacing, i’ve modified this parameter to 7.5nm too for matching both. Should i set this parameter on iRacing to maximum capacity of SC Pro (25nm)? When i adjust it to 25nm the feeling is weird.

Many thanks.

Greetings.

Can you post your current settings. Hard to make a suggestion to improve something if we don’t know your current settings.

Thanks broodroOster,

I’ll try to upload it today to show you. All my setups are uploaded to online mode.I share all the TD software allows me. I think…five profiles.
iRacing is complicated to adjust although AMS2 and RF2 follow the same line. iRacing has a FFB that doesn’t transmit, AMS2 too much shaking and bumping on the road and RF2 too much dry and hard. :smile:
I’m very very happy how TD works with Raceroom. From zero to 100. Amazing feeling modifying a few parameters. It’s a completely sim for me and now i can feel it like long time ago. So so happy! :slightly_smiling_face:
I hope to achieve the same change on iRacing cos i drive like a crazy monkey trying not to crash many times. The car slides and i cannot feel anything to avoid it.

Greetings.

Here it is.


What do you think about it?
is it so horrible? Improvements? any advice?..
Thank you.

In my opinion those are not very balanced settings for iRacing. Try the following:
Reconstruction: 5
Damping: 15%
Friction: 12%
Inertia: 14%
Static force reduction: 0%
Slew rate limit: 2.2
Ultra low latency: 16%
Center frequency: 0

And in iRacing click on the 12.1 strength number. It should change to a value in Nm. Adjust that to 55Nm. This will make sure you don’t have clipping.
Then raise the forcefeedback in True Drive to whatever you can handle comfortably and put in that value in iRacing. Small details are better felt with higher FFB, but you need to be able to handle it for the whole race ofcourse. So try to find you confortable max setting.

Notch Filter
Center Frequency=0hz

Ok. Thank you very much broodroOster :+1:

I’ll try to test it tonight and i tell you the experience.

Thank you very much Alfye. That parameter is always configured with the value 0. I don’t know why it has changed. I never touch it. Maybe my mistake with the mouse movements.

broodro0ster,

I’ve been testing your setup. WoW! i don’t make any mistakes driving long sessions at Nordschleife. It’s so easy to drive it, too much! it’s weird :smile: My style hasn’t changed and driving in the same way, i don’t know what but the car doesn’t loose the rear/front wheels even forcing the situation. Incredible!!! I’ve tested several cars and the result is the same. So easy to drive them and no mistakes. This profile allows me to be faster (more than 2sec on Spa, Imola,etc) But after all these advantages, they are great! for timings, the negative point is the feeling. I like so much your setup for the friction value and i think this is the “guilty” of my improvements :smile:. I feel the car more stable on curbs, more precise, i guess cos i have more weight on steering wheel and shaking decreases when it’s necessary to correct a maneuver but the feeling is like more…“sandy” on movements (left/right) and i don’t feel the asphalt. I loose the reference from the car too in case it tries to do something that makes me loose the control. I’m trying to fine-tune your setup and feel the car a little bit more, more reactive, not so “dead” on fast movements. In general, i like your profile very much and i realize that trying to achieve a more dynamic and natural feeling on wheels in contact with the asphalt, i’ve made a big mistake making the feeling too rubbery and a big lost of touch on ground irregularities.
Thank you so much for your help.
Greetings.

I really liked your settings, thanks for sharing. :grinning:

Hi man, glad to see your times improved with it. Tweak the settings as they suit you. That’s the power of True Drive :smiley:

You had reconstruction at 10 and this filter is an interpolation filter. It takes the grain of out the signal at cost of latency. I’ve found 5 is the optimal value for iRacing. It feels natural without causing too much input lag. But I bet it feels grainy for you if you were used to drive with 10 recon. Maybe give it some time and if not raise it maybe 1 click, but I would avoid using 10.

If you like a more rubbery steering, lower the slewrate a bit more. This parameter slows down the acceleration of the motor down so it feels more natural like there is a good suspension involved. Try 0.7 for this value and you should feel what I mean. Then you can tune it to your liking.

You can lower damping to 10% like you had it to make it more reactive. It depends a bit on the car, but sometimes I also drop it to 10%. But the settings I posted should give you a pretty good baseline and then tune from there :smiley: Happy testing!
