Simucube 2 True Drive Paddock - Feedback and suggestions

[Mika]

@Panschoin

Realized that more imported profiles from the classic were actually not imported. But ok this is not that important.

It is important. We are writing a small special import tool that can be used to only import profiles from previous firmware versions.

@Panschoin

There is some issue going on where the SC is stuck many times on low torque mode or safe profile

We also noticed the issue - even after saving default settings from offline mode, a “Safe Profile” was shown. I have fixed it for next release. But this only concerned the profile name, and not the operating parameters.

@Panschoin

I don’t find practical the fact that if I want to make changes to the setup, with every change I am making I am basically saving/overwriting the setup.

When you have the edit FFB dialog open, it applies to device live, and does not saved to the Paddock if you do not click Save button on Paddock, but if you open the dialog directly from the profile tile, then it will get saved.

For offline profiles, changes also override the previous setting.

Thanks Mika but just to be clear,

The problem is not that it shows safe profile, this happens for a few seconds only and then it’s the correct profile but the issue is that the actual ffb in game is in low torque.

Hi guys ! I bought my pro from the first batch , i am still at 1.0.15 truedrive version , i update it once ,but got a friction noise and decide to downgrade and never update it since … when i look at truedrive version , the 1.0.15 its not there anymore … well , My question ?? Do i need to updated thoses drivers ones by ones or just download the last version exe and call it a day ? Thank in advance and have a nice day !!!

Truedrive exe contains the latest fw also.

I’m running 1.0.13 and I’m also thinking about upgrading, possibly as soon as next month. I’m leaning towards 2020.10 based on the comments I’ve seen around here, but I’m open to suggestions.

[Andrew_WOT]

2020.10 is good, so is 2021.9 (the last before big FW rewrite which still has some wrinkles) also last version supporting Classic interface.

Stable version of TD

To add to my last comment, My unit still makes a TON of noise while in use - but the key thing is, it’s no worse in 2021.9 than it was in 2021.7 as far as I can tell. If you were happy with 2021.7, and want to try out the paddock stuff, then 2021.9 is the release for you. That said, some of the features of paddock are now controlled by the web server’s update schedule and I believe a few more updates are coming for the web server, which will further improve the paddock experience, so if you’r…

2021.7 has been stable. I have had no issues running true drive classic

[Marty]

Yeah, I’m having this issue too, which was rarely a problem for previous true drive releases. Sometimes you load into iRacing, and there’s zero FFB.

I have to restart my computer before it’ll load FFB into the wheel.

[Mika]

Is iRacing Options -> FFB off -> OK -> Options -> FFB on -> OK not working in this situation?

[Marty]

It might do, I never tried. Whilst I was posting my previous comment, I rebooted my machine and FFB was back.
Third time it’s happened on my ultimate, but at least I’m prepared for next time it happens with the FFB toggle off and on suggestion.
Thanks!

[datoml]

This fixes the issue. Can confirm it.

[Mika]

We have pushed an update to the production environment that has improved the loading times of profiles in the Paddock view a lot. There were already some timeouts visible in the backend, now there should be none.

Let us know if you come up with no published profiles loading on scroll down or something like that.

[Rolfi]

Already read the changelog for the upcoming release. Does the startup minimize to tray works now like intended without crashing the truedrive.exe - is this fixed?

[Mika]

Yes, and no command line parameter is required.

[easy81]

Hello Mika…when will it be available? Bye

[Mika]

I was finishing up the changelog and could be ready for test tonight… anyone want to test it?

[Albert_Brennan]

Hi Mika,
Yes . i’m at home. Thank you.

[datoml]

I have time. Just PM me like last time

[broodro0ster]

I would like to test it. My winter vacation started so I have some extra time to spend in the sim.

[easy81]

Thanks Mika… I’ll try it tomorrow
