While I do not support strong language in any type of conversation, online included, labeling someone as troll for this reaction is a bit harsh.
Slapped is a brand new user of Simucube and didn’t know the history of this development, and if you check the original thread on when the situation with wrongly labeled, uncertified, whatever PSU was uncovered, the reaction from many people was less than peaceful.
Except is was not wrongly labeled or uncertified. It was and is still a 300W PSU and certified as such.
Guy is simple, open a support ticket and order your 450W power supply as described.
Close the discussion on the forum and then all this discussion that doesn’t make sense to me will end.
Very simple.
Good luck.
No such thing exists, unfortunately, if you have R2 SC2 Pro you can check label on yours.
Accordingly to Mika & Co it’s actually 450W PSU in 300W clothing and certification.
POWER SUPPLY
R2 1 x 450 W Peak
So now the goalpost is advertised torque that is wrong?
It still doesn’t make the PSU wrongly labeled or uncertified.
And does it matter if max torque can’t really be reached for long enough for even the 300W continuous certified and labeled PSU to give up in anything close to normal usage of the product.
You can put 100%/25Nm to settings on R1 and R2 and start driving without noticing any difference.

Correct
The whole story is based on a lack of care. Ironically, he missed the word “peak”…
On the Simucube homepage, product details, comparison of the 3 models it’s clearly stated:
The Pro R2 comes with a 450 W Peak power supply.
My apologies for starting a bit of a shit storm overall - I’m not normally confrontational. Recent events in my life have proven to be considerably challenging, and to an extent life altering. This, by pure coincidence, has coincided with me obtaining a Simucube wheel base.
It’s difficult to explain, but as a result of the timing it led me to express my frustrations at Simucube for things that previously would have resulted in a slightly annoyed @Slapped rather than a beast in absolute fury.
For that I apologise, and I do understand and accept what @Mika has said about the PSU situation.
I’m still less than happy about the True Drive software situation, especially as it’s now nagging me to update (can I get rid of that), but I’m walking away from that for the time being - although I won’t be happy until there’s a true offline solution with recent builds.
So you all have my apologies if I’ve come across aggressive and troll like.
It’s a fantastic, unbelievably powerful and detailed wheelbase, and I’m very happy to own one.

Continuous advertised torque and PSU wattage go hand to hand. If one is off the the other is affected.
To deliver 25nm holding, not peak torque, motor needs 450W, not 300 with peak of 450.
Wishy-washy casual ‘it’s okay for normal use’ is not the spec this product is avertised at and sold.
If it delivers what is advertised, it’s all good, but arguing that spec for power and torque doesn’t matter is quite silly, could have gotten lesser cheaper wheel if that was really irrelevant.
This is incorrect. Peaks over 300 W are required in active situations to produce high torque when wheel is already turning very fast.

no one said torque doesn’t matter. It was argued that the wheel can not be used in a way that the two different PSU’s made any difference.
@Slapped there is true offline mode with recent builds. At least I haven’t opened paddock this year at all.
Or if you explain how you expect the offline mode to work?
Look, I’m going to leave that for the time being
If you really want to read up on my complaint you can catch up with it here - Brand new to Simucube 2 - Issue with True Drive profiles
You start with “seems my Simucube 2 was delivered with the wrong power supply” and you leave it now with “issues with TD profiles”??
To back up your power supply problem you propose to read something about TD profiles??
So we finally meet again at the toxic and abandoned dump of all misery, which is:
The classic offline mode was better than the actual offline mode. I was more offline back then.
No wonder some reacted with so much understanding and empathy…

What is this Paddock?
Hopefully it’s not that social networking crap that I had to fight to get past to actually get to the settings

So he is a brand new user and didn’t know about… looks different to me when I see the ongoing ping pong posts between you and @Slapped since he joined in early June.
Tell me why do you always feel like sticking your clueless nose everywhere?
Your posts are so weird, completely off the target all the time, and just confusing people who don’t know you yet to put on Ignore list.
@Slapped, remember my warning on RD?

I thought you are not a friend of strong language? And I just saw you know @Slapped since quite some years from RaceDepartment, where he is a Premium member and posted over 550 messages…how did you described him: as a brand new user, not familiar with some development?
Best is you inform those people I confuse how to put me on the ignore list. Best would be to ignore me, especially when I am on the “to ignore list”.
On the other hand you wrote about me to @Slapped, at RD. To me it looks more like “following”. Ignoring normally works different. And why should I tell you about my very precise timeline where to put my nose in? You would ignore it anyway.
Yeah, I’ve been on RD for a good couple of years now. So I’m not new to sim racing. However in that time I was using Thrustmaster gear, and the only DD wheels I was aware of were Fanatec - I hadn’t even heard of Simucube.
So how did I end up with Simucube then?
At the start of this year I decided to go DD, but every time I went to Fanatec’s web shop it was about as well stocked as a North Korean Supermarket - so no go.
In the meantime I’d been watching a few “Simfluencers” on you tube, and one thing started to emerge. All of the serious ones I watch, Boosted Media, Dan Suzuki, Race Beyond Matter had one thing in common - they all used Simucube. Plus the reviews of Simucube kit were extremely positive.
So at the very start of June I ordered a complete Simucube Pro setup with wheel rims from GPerformance in Slovakia (who have been absolutely fantastic), and here I am just over two months in with a Simucube setup.
So yeah, I’m a brand new Simucube user, not a brand new sim-racer.
So yeah, I’m a brand new Simucube user, not a brand new sim-racer.
I think you should make up up your own mind and not listen to “forum people” anyway. If you are annoyed by features or functionality you are free to complain, ask for support etc. But at the same time give feedback how the problem should or could be solved.
For example the offline “problem” has been beaten to death already before, but no one has been able to make a definitive case either way, so the decision of the manufacturer stands.
Btw. I bought mine from GPerformance also, I have nothing negative to say about them, top service.
