A first beta/early access release has been made in the FB users group a few days ago, with overwhelming positive feedback.
Profile Online is now enabled for Simucube 2 Sport&Pro Revision 1 drivers as an early access special edition feature, and for all Simucube 2 Ultimate drivers.
Release includes a Classic mode that will enable working with profles as previosly, but it will be superceded with offline caching of online profiles or similar feature in the future.
Exporting all profiles in classic mode (each into its own file) and importing settings when creating profile (when adjusting FFB settings) in Online can be used to migrate your existing profiles.
Here is a link to the release, press the Download link to download.
edit: download removed to imminent release of next version. Stay tuned!
Known issues:
sometimes a white screen will be shown when starting the online version. Relaunching will correct the issue.
tray and trayminimized command line parameters / shortcuts do not work for the Online version yet, it is being fixed for next release.
When unpublishing a profile from online, a warning about publishing will be shown.
When left idling for a long time, the Online functionality becomes non-functional. Right-click -> reload fixes this. Will be fixed for next release.
Simucube 2 hardware revision indicator is not being updated correctly for Revision 2 units.
Good catch, that field is not being updated correctly for Revision 2 units. It is safe to use the Classic mode for all units, there is no beta code in that version other than some changed version number fields.
hi Mika, I need to ask you something : I am fairly confident I will never need to use the online function of TD, I always use one profile per sim and I tend to edit some values only when major sims updates are made, so I need to know for certain if
1 - migrating existing profiles from classic TD will be possible with ease
2 - the chance to work on profiles values on the fly when driving (alt+tab to TD) will be mantained, along with the Copy, Import and Export functions of current TD.
3 - it will be easy to find our pre-existing profiles once into the online mode, I have yet to understand how it works to be honest.
Iām asking all of that because if some of those things wonāt be granted in the future, I will consider to stick with the last non-online TD version, the current 2020.1
thank you.
It works great for me except my free sync monitors drop from 144hz to 50hzish when its the active window. i have a 9900k and rtx3080 so i have heaps of pc grunt.
Similar FPS issue here with NVidia G-Sync. FPS drops from 144 at desktop to 25ish when the TD-online window has focus. Takes maybe 10 secs after minimising the window for it to recover.
My only other comment at this point is that itās too easy for eager bleeding-edge adopters to install TDO without first backing up their TDC profilesā¦ Donāt ask me how I knowā¦
What I did was -
Open āSimucube 2 True Drive Classic.exeā instead of the online version, export each of my profiles as separate .ini files, then went back to the online version of TD and import each of my profiles.
next beta release (possibly also for R2 units)
