Some adjustments were made after the beta.
We ran a user survey this summer and also promised some updates about software for Simucube 2. The results of the survey have now been processed. It took a bit longer than expected.
Last Friday we released a social media video and a landing page for the updates:
We also have a publicly viewable Trello table now where people can track our progress.
We are tracking the 26th of this month for a public firmware and True Drive release.

Simucube 2 True Drive 2024.1 is out.
https://granitedevices.com/wiki/Simucube_2_True_Drive_releases
Changes and fixes
- New UI style for True Drive
- Some minor UI elements still have old style, those will get fixes later
- Offline profile management improvements
- Offline profile selection will track the last action made in the menu
- Offline profiles are alphabetically sorted
- Simucube Wireless Wheels are not anymore disconnected at all if a game is running and has created FFB effects
- Previous behavior was that wheel wasn’t supposed to disconnect if game actively sent new data, i.e. driver was on track
- The Torque Clipping audible notification works again
- Add some decimal points to analog axis status data on the first tab
FFB development testing as beta feature
- New Experimental FFB filters menu
- Feature enables trying out new things without having them saved into actual profiles
- Access the feature from the first tab
- Features will have to be re-applied to device after any profile change/update
FFB changes
- New experimental/beta FFB setting: Angle-based torque reduction
- Reduces FFB if wheel has turned for over 110 degrees, helps driver to resume full control of the car after a spin
- Access setting via the the experimental menu
- Send feedback via the feedback button
- Motor tuning
- Motor tuning has returned to that of the 2023.10 release. We will continue the work that was released in 2023.12 testing release in Discord.
Bug fixes
- Simucube Wireless Wheels are not disconnected due to one hour time-out if any button is being used on the wheel, regardless if games are running or not.

Paddock news
Over the weekend we deployed new software release to Paddock. F1 2024 game was added to list of games and a small Paddock app version number overlay was added to make some trouble cases more convenient to debug.
Since March this year, we have also done a round of software library updates, with cyber security and maintenance being the focus.
Unfortunate side effect is that the in True Drive software releases 2023.10 and earlier, the bundled Chromium web browser was so old that the new React and other libraries didn’t work properly anymore, with some users often facing black screen issues.
Starting with 2024.1 release we updated the Qt framework to the latest release. If you are facing blank screen issue in Paddock app when trying to view profile settings, please update True Drive to 2024.1 or later release.

We have released Simucube Tuner 2.5 Open Beta.
With this release, users are able to control Simucube ActivePedals and the Simucube 2 wheel base from a single software. Other additions include remapping wireless wheel buttons (if wheel is connected via Simucube Link Hub) and LED configuration for the Valo GT-23 wheel (and sometime soon more wireless wheels).

Hi everyone,
With just a few days to go before the release of ASSETTO CORSA EVO, will there be a TRUE DRIVE update so that I can enjoy the game?
No updates to True Drive needed to make the new sim to work. It already worked in Simracing Expo a few months ago.
For ActivePedals, we need to verify how the telemetry works and then make a release with support for AC EVO. That already worked in Simracing Expo, but was running a custom release due to there being just a tiny bit of difference in the telemetry.

Hi everyone
I saw it while following the news on RFRO, thank you all the same for sharing it, and I’m surprised that Kunos only recommends 8 NM, in any case I’m going to test their solutions.
The might have the cars that they have modeled, all top out at 8 Nm max steering column torque. I don’t see that they would have any cars in the upcoming release that would realistically have more torque than that on steering column in real life.

Torque is a very personal thing, set to whatever suits you and your body.
There is no at wheel torque to speak about in modern power steered or drive by wire cars, so we can throw that as a “simulation value” out of window.
