Grainy feel gone, thanks a lot @Mika :smiley:

Taken from the release notes:

“Disconnection of a wireless wheel will not cause torque to be disabled, unless the wheel had a torque off switch configured”

Can someone explain how the above works and does it mean I would have the choice to keep or remove high torque in the event that my wheel disconnects?

It used to be that disconnection of the wheel would disable torque, which could cause the driver to crash, where as now it will not disable torque and likely does not cause drivers to crash. This is not an user-configurable option.

Thank you Mika.

That does make sense but I’m still confused by the “unless the wheel had a torque off switch configured” part.

I’m obviously misunderstanding that part, no matter how many times I read it back to myself!

The wireless wheel supports a on/off switch to enable/disable torque. However, this feature has not been used in any of the commercially available wireless wheels that we know about, even though this would be quite useful ease-of-use feature.

Thanks. I think I’m following you now.

If I understand correctly, you are referring to the physical switch on the wireless rims, which I have.

If I manually flip that switch to the off position (currently with v1.07), high torque is automatically disabled and I’m assuming that is still the case with 2020.4

However, if the wheel loses wireless connection, high torque remains in place.

That switch is a power switch, and from Simucube-side, it will look like a disconnection.

There is a separate option, “Torque Off switch” that can be configured in the wireless wheel module, that can toggle the torque on/off, but the buttons, encoders and paddles would still work. But it appears that the feature is not really seen as useful as the commercial wheel builders haven’t implemented that to their wheels.

Ahh, now I understand. Thanks very much for taking the time to explain that for me .

Sorry if this in the forum but I haven’t found it. I am desperate to turn off the start up and high torque beeps. I’ve unchecked the boxes, saved it but as soon as I turn my ultimate back on it beeps. My kids room is right above my rig and it wakes him up occasionally and kills any late night practice I’m trying to have. Also running latest firmware

You can’t turn them off

Im curious why they are oscillations in products. Some of them are super quiet and some of them are noisy from inside(some kind of ring in my case). My friends who are having the same base like me they don’t have any noise inside base and i have

I was hoping these would be disabled too but it looks like those check boxes are confusingly labelled and we won’t be able to completely silence the wheel.

Even if we could halve the volume of those start up beeps it would be appreciated, I don’t mind them but my Wife does.

Reg noise inside base I think you have to post more info, like: your true drive setting, the Sim name, the in game settings and maybe some info are your friends in same Sim, same settings, etc.

Help I have not updated my firmware in a while I’m running 1.0.10. I can’t remember the the steps for upgrading firmware.

just download the version you want to update to and start it. It will guide you through the process.

Once you’ve downloaded the new version, I assume you have a new SC2 folder and once you finshed the install, you can delete the old folder that you were using previously?

whenever I start TD the scan for wireless steering wheels starts…but i don’t use wireless RIMs
can we switch this off permanently?

It does no harm in the background. In the next release it will be always on, and the start/stop button will be just “clear list and restart scan” -button. The rolling indicator for the scan will be removed.

Mika, kind of silly question.
I understand that it is BT receiver on the servo side, can it in any way interfere with other BT peripherals?
