No, it just listens on existing devices and does nothing if bluetooth device name does not start with correct letter sequence. If it does start with correct sequence, it will try to pair with it. This will also be changed so that the current “automatically connect to wireless wheels” checkbox will be replaced with
Automatic connection mode:
Connect to first wireless wheel found (default)
Connect to all previously paired wheels (this was checkbox checked in the previous versions)
No automatic connection
This will enable ease of use as 99% of users are in their homes and will only have one wheel on at a time.
What is the current profile save behaviour? The other day i redid my profiles for the recent filter changes but i can see now those changes have all be lost.
I dont click save to simucube as i dont need these settings to be on eeprom and i want to save write cycles. How should we correctly interact with profiles just so we can save them on teh PC and not waste our write cycles?
I don’t think you should worry about those write cycles.
As I remember it’s guaranteed 10.000, so you could do 10 daily for 3 years, just to hit the guaranteed. Then you prob. have some factor up on that in reality before anything bad could ever happen.
Yes. Got mine two and asked the same here. Seems to be normal, although I really dislike it and I can hear it clearly when driving. So its kinda a bummer on the immersion.
Id really like to love the SC2 Pro but I think with that sound I wont be able to…
You can get rid of it with slew 0.1 (but I think you dont want that, or anyone). Recon Filter seems to have an influence too.
sorry, what? which email? i simply said if that bothers you so much then get a pair of headphones. that’s all. those sounds are totally normal, the OSW was doing the a similare noise too.
Can it differ between units? I have SC2 Pro and its almost totally silent. I had more noice from my old Fanatec v2, v2,5, T300 and G29. Fans, rattles, sqeaks etc. The only thing i hear is the magnetic shifters when i drive. (Headphones / VR)
I tested some mounting options and it seems to differ between very stiff mountings and used materials, so this noise is affected not only by the software.
I’ll lend some vibration testing equipment (acceleration sensor) from work and test this a bit more. An FFT should give some insight. This kinda got to a point I just want to know. Seems like no one cares about this (sadly) so GD has no intention of fixing it.
And just because GD says it’s normal, it mustn’t be. Maybe I am different, but for a premium price tag I find that quite unacceptable. My gaming rig was made to be completly silent and this just stands out.
@SuperMonaco_GP
Your answer was just offensive and basically said, “piss off”.
I think Mika was trying to explain in the other thread about coils making noise due to tight tuning, or something like that. Mige at low filtering was making the same sound, guess it’s just nature of the beast as each little micro blip in the signal gets registered by the motor. Does it get better with higher recon filter and lower TBW? There is also ball bearing associated noise which can’t be completely tuned out by filtering.
This link explains a bit on the source of potential noise
By testing different mounting options I know that the sound is caused my something in the motor. Any rig or hard/fixed mounting will “amplify” it.
I drove to a friend which has the Simlab bottom mount + bracket and the noise even seemed louder there, than on my smaller rig. I think that’s why some people hear this and some do not.
Please don’t get me wrong, this just feels like its a feature. No it is not. It’s the negative side of a compromise. Recon filter only noticeably affects it at 8+
I heard that the bearing might be the issue, too. Dunno what part of it. I think I read too that this bearing is not preloaded, so it may have some play. If so I’d really like to change it to something more precise (like SKF industry standard). Is it possible to change the bearing?
The bearings cannot be easily changed. At least you would void your warranty. But regarding the video you showed, the issue is not caused by motor bearings in your case.
Thanks @Mika. If the bearings would be the issue I’d assume a more mechanical feel of the vibration.
You already mentioned it may be the 60 Hz FFB of iR but in ACC the noise is exactly the same.
But I’ll test this more on the weekend and decide then if I can live with that or not…
Hello everyone! I’m here to ask for your help because for the last 2 weeks, my SC2 has been shutting down sometimes during FFB peaks … The first times, it happened on AC during the catch of big pavement. Much more, it happened today on ACC during a crash … I hadn’t looked after the AC problems, but just now when I closed ACC, here is the message that was displayed: “Overvoltage Power Stage Off / Fault Location ID: 0”.
What’s weird is that it appeared two weeks ago while I’ve been using the same settings on AC and ACC for several months and I’m using the same version of TD (v2020.04).
If anyone knows a solution to fix this kind of problem … Or @Mika
The wheel will have an overvoltage fault if the wheel is turned fast enough when powering on the device. This suggests that one of the PSUs are tripping, causing the device to restart itself. Can you check if both PSUs have the LED on them, and that they are properly connected to your Simucube 2 Pro?
