Simucube 2 True Drive Paddock - Feedback and suggestions

hi Mika, that keeps happening to me at the start of paddock : active profile x and selected profile y.

Hi all,

This can be considered a beta version, but it does have improvements and additions that can be of interest to some people.

also, there have been some suggestions on how to improve the Paddock profile ordering.

  • Leave it as it is now (latest used profile always moves to first slot
  • Reorder only when view is reloaded/opened
  • Manual reordering via drag&drop

Hello Mika,

With this version/hotfix I still have the issue of the wire wheel receiver. Right after I installed the version it was detected. But after a restart of the wheelbase it wasnā€™t anymore. So it seems like it issue isnā€™t fixed. (I have the R1/1st verison of the simucube 2 pro). So I reverted back to 2021.9.

Did you power off and back on many times to see if it was always not detected, or whether it is detected on some starts?

At first it was detected. After the first restart not anymore. I only restarted once.

I donā€™t have much time to race these days, so that made this version an instant no-go for me. But today I have some time, so I could try it again if you want.

I have identified another type of issue - as the system is multi threaded now on the device, system may reach the Operational state before the wireless wheel receiver has been initialized. However, True Drive doesnā€™t notice the wireless wheel receiver state being toggled after system has reached Operational state.

New beta will be out early next weekā€¦

Great! Have a nice Christmas.

I will be looking forward to the new beta.

Its just a hypothesis that would be confirmed if the wireless wheel tab becomes available just by closing (completely) and reopening True Drive.

When I launch paddock, the default of last used profile isnā€™t loaded. Do I do something wrong or is this a bug? It used to load the last loaded profile.

thatā€™s happening the same to me at every start

Mika, would you mind adding me to the new beta? I have this week off work, and it sounds like some positive progress has been made on the wheelbase noise, which Iā€™d love to check out!

Thanks!

Link is public and available above.

Thanks Mika I missed that!

@Mika would it be easy to allow a user to view/edit profiles if the wheel is powered off?

My wheel is on a stand and is rarely attached to the PC, and itā€™d be neat to be able to pull up settings when chatting with others about game specific settings, which paddock profile, etcā€¦

Thanks for the suggestion.

It would not be possible without significant changes to the PC software.

Ok thank you, definitely not worth the refactoring then!

I tried the latest beta tonight - 21.12-hotfix beta.

No issues that I noticed - my wireless wheel (Ascher F28v2) worked just fine.

Installed fine - my gut tells me some of the sand grainy feeling from the past is improved (might even be gone)

I think the update addresses motor noise too? I need to read up on what it addressed and if thereā€™s a setting I need to set in true drive - my gut says it wasnā€™t as bad as itā€™s been, and Iā€™d like to spend more time comparing settings, etc - the good news is I know I raced a bit with slew rate limiter off, and I think I used the reconstruction filter = 1, which is pretty low, so this is encouraging!

Hi can anyone enlighten me why i cannot save the online profiles just to quick try them?

when you hover over a profile in the online profiles view,

there is a rocket icon that, when clicking, sends the profile to the device.

The quick try -button is also available in the menu when you view the profile settings from the online profiles.

True Drive also caches that and it will be available in offline mode as well.
