Simucube 2 Discussion Thread

OK, then its something else. We keep investigating!

just send me a new one that works pls!

If you so wish, you can take the support further with your reseller. We are investigating what could be wrong in your device, but our first idea didn’t prove to be correct.

Thank you, Atilla

I did consider drilling the SRM threads out but I would much rather sacrifice the adapter plate and keep the SRM intact.

I think I will look for an adapter that can use all 6 fixing bolts and also be able to fix them in from the backside as that will be the most logical way for my setup.

What DD wheel do you use to have that kind of noise with AC?
The only way to simulate something similar with Argon OSW was to set Friction to 100% with 0% filtering and even then it was more like a buzz not metal clunking.
I would never accept anything like that after owning smooth and quiet DD wheel.
Hopefully it’s just FW teething issue and not inherent problem with motor or board design as it was with cross talking on SimuCube.

you are right, the noise is inacceptable. On raceroom it sounds like a sheep and on AC it sounds like Santa Claus.

I bought a DD, because everyone is talking about how smooth and quiet they are.

I also bought a stable P1 to finally have no more rattling and now it’s the DD that causes the noise.

I did the “washer” fix. Big issue was this wheel has threaded inserts because it is supposed to be mounted with nuts from the back. But I managed to loosen the bolts precisely as far as needed.

New issue: no spacer is delivered with additional wheelside QRs.

There is no way to fit the QR bolt because the shifters are in the way.

@EsxPul: Attila’s advice is what has to be done.

Edit: Ignore, I see you commented after. But anyway, I have drilled out the threads only HRS QR adapter plate - be aware though, Brett sells the Xero-play with both a threaded or non-threaded adapter, I guess you can tell him which you prefer…if any if you go that way…

Thanks for the tip regarding HRS, Phillip.

I’m going to try and live with this current arrangement as is until the new sqr design is finalised.

From a selfish point of view I’d rather have the adapter plate non threaded and be the more sacrificial part of the two which seems to be the way Tero is going with his proposed design.

Cheers Mate ;). Yep, your idea is in line with my thinking, easier to have a sacrificial plate…or better still to have a dual-purpose one similar to Tero’s proposal on the new design.

A neat solution to a minor hindrance. Well done Martin :wink:

mate, I haven’t tried AC and RRE yet with SC2, but RRE always had issues with OSW, not a news tbh

My rig with the Simucube 2 Pro. Happy :smiley:Images

I Drive a Lot RR3 bot i have not so Noises, maybe you have too much Damper or other things on.
I Drive only with 2%inertia and the first recon Filter.

If i don’t ask to much, can you post screenshots of your driver and ingame settings, so i can try them?

I think its raceroom or my pro is busted to lollllllllll …The motor make a worst sound then nicsos123 like really worst …i instantly exit the game to not damage the wheel … its probably something in the game cause its only in raceroom that i got a weird sound from the wheel

I had to cut the 6 x m5 (40 mm) bolts between the b16m-sc button plate even with the ascher adapter …(but the f28 look like a direct fit atleast …i was not so happy after the big amount i paid for both premium items :frowning: (not gonna put washers on thing like this sorry …but Martin advertise me before buying ,so i was aware :slight_smile:

Loving the final result after fixing bolts ,like really love it :)))))))

This is late but a trick to this is before Grinding the threads place a nut on the bolt, After you going the end of the bolt when you take the nut off of the bolt it will reform the threads accurately helping to prevent mis-threading. It is also a good idea after grinding before removing the nut to slightly chamfer the end of the bolt this will again help reinsertion.

I’m about to order an ultimate and following this discussion here for a few days now. Is it really that bad? Ppl getting weird noises, staff responding within days, instead of hours? Are there happy owners of a simucube 2 and which simulators are they running using the simucube 2?
