Hey, Not sure why but sometimes when opening truedrive Paddock, the software will just not recognize my wheel / base & seem frozen / buggy. with not being able to click into anything other than the sidebar. Text will appear very weird too. really not sure what to do and this keeps happening.
Here you can see in the analog input with the weird text.
That is strange. Which Windows, and graphics card, and graphics card driver? Do you run any antivirus software?
Also, we fixed a rare timing issue when the software loads, it might fix some issues in the next release.
issue fixed, simply unplugged all USB devices from my Sim rig and reconnected them, and it started working fine,
windows 11 build 22000.318
Nvidia rtx 3090
latest Driver 496.76
No antivirus also.
This is a problem, offline mode is a backup, with limited functionality as you say yourself and some jump through the hoop workarounds.
I don’t want to be in a position of second grade user or refugee and learning myself through some trial and errors (as documentation is not a thing apparently) convoluted ways around something that already works perfectly for my need.
There is absolutely 0 incentive for me to go for next big update that removes Classic and adds a bunch of irrelevant Paddock features.
The only critical thing in there is R3E bug fix, which is a serious safety and liability issue. Not giving Classic users option to have it and twist arm them into online interface is an extremely anti-user move, I don’t think it’s in GD’s best interest to continue antagonize already thinning user base with more people opting for more mainstream recognized wheel bases.
I will expect you to have more informed comment next time about Paddock.
About the lacking features - we are adding them as needed.
I do not need inform myself “more” with each and every Paddock release, I had it, it didn’t work for me. And I don’t see how having still backup-only-lacking-features-option instead of primary Classic is going to solve it for me or others not interested in that failed online sharing experiment.
Failed?
It is very successful. Many people are using it already, around half of the units sold are using it…
not td related, @Mika never thought of setting up a discord server for the sc2 community? imo ot would be way easier for everyone to help others without the need of relying always on the forum
Will there every be a feature that autoloads profile based on car you are driving in iRacing? SRS offers this in their motion software and it is really nice not having to ever load diffrent profiles.
Why is everyone so negative about changes they don’t like these days?
This constant discussion about Paddock is starting to get on my nerves that I don’t even want to participate in discussions here anymore.
Sure, it has a few more clicks now, but I still find it very user friendly.
I’m looking forward to the upcoming FFB features. @Mika 
People are rarely positive about changes they don’t like…
I think, just like in a relationship with a spouse, if a person doesn’t feel like they’ve been ‘heard’ then they tend to get more and more upset - it took me a solid 15 years of marriage to understand this, though my wife might say it was more like 25 years and I still don’t have it fully right.
I see a few people bring up the same things, and I think Mika feels they’ve been addressed, while the others feel it has not - so in this case, neither side is ‘hearing’ what the other side is saying.
Hi! To me it’s obvious that this discussion won’t have an end. Paddock is so easy to use. Open, if you don’t want to use your default profile take another one, activate, done. Wanna try an online profile? Give it a quick try. Wanna see if there is an update? Last page and click on update. There are my profiles and the online. So, as stated before, this is just philosophical “warfare” and always towards the past, what some try to achieve. While constantly updating everywhere and using online to come to this community they kind of undermine themselves. Get me flagged for this, I don’t care. On contrary, it would honour me. This is so tyring , even for me. Can’t imagine it is for Granite
That’s fine if it gets on your nerves. This thread was created for feedback, we provided feedback that was ignored and is not going to happen. It’s simple, if you don’t like it don’t read it. This is a feedback thread…
I think a lot of you are missing the point though. We were asked and we stated our reasons and why we want a classic mode. Nothing we said has happened and the decisions were made by the people at granite devices. And now you wonder why people get upset when we were asked and we stated our opinions but they were clearly ignored. Like I’ve said already, it’s very clear who granite devices are catering to
I know this is a feedback thread and that it is entirely up to me whether I read it or not.
What I mean by that is that the same points are brought up over and over again, which is a little tiring. This shouldn’t be an attack on anyone here.
Can you please tell me what the big disadvantage from paddock offline mode over classic mode is?
Its been thought about, but I mainly use Discord in private purposes in sim racing and other hobbies. I would have to have two Discord accounts, which would be difficult to work with. And managing that server would be someones task as well. We would have to rely on volunteers too much.
Correct, feedback… not I want this and that. This is a demand not a feedback. Some give “feedbacks” on stuff not used or one time and keep on talking about releases updated a few times. I wonder if people do the same with Microsoft, steam or similar.
Good to hear you still have a life besides answering the same over and over again.
I don’t recall anyone demanding anything. We provided our reasons and feedback as was asked
