Okay tnx Mika I understand and it’s impossible to do it right for everybody but this is no option for me. Is there a way to revert the firmware back to td 10? Often before i have load rf2 and click on race i need to alt tab to re-enable torque. I didnt mind the beep because i got used to it but iI didnt need to do these extra handlings every time again… Dont want to be a moner but for me it was all i wanted with td 10
Hello,
First hello to everyone, I’m a new user of an SC2 Pro.
The wheel is really wonderful but I’ve to say the software is of high annoyance to me as well.
I read that next version should allow us to enable the high torque forever and to kind of remove the sleep mode.
As of now even if the feeling is great I encounter too many issues and I’m considering going back to my previous accuforce wheel until the wheel become more of a ‘set and forget’ thing. On feeling and power the accuforce is not on par with the SC2 but I never had any issue with it.
As a side question I only had this once but I had a quite annoying issue. I had a practice run before a quite long race on iracing. Before the qualification I left the rig for a few minutes and came back for the beginning of quali. When I got in the car wheel was 100% without FFB. Not a single hint of anything.
I saw in the soft the ‘High torque’ was still enabled. So I shut the software down and power cycled the wheel completely. (a real full power cycle, not with the safety switch only). I had still nothing and had to completely close iracing and launch it again to have the FFB back. I therefore missed the qualifications. Not too big of an issue but as I’m mainly an endurance driver during a team race this would mean the end of the race for the whole team because of this.
So I rejoin most of the others. We need to be able to completely remove this sleep mode and ensure the wheel will always work as intended. Having to enable the high torque is not that much if it has to be done once when launching the rig. But having something to do between sessions is not a good thing. It’s basically havoc ensured at one point or another.
Jupz, this is exactly what i ment but then in better words. Are you on the latest TD soft and firmware?
There is now an option that puts the torque in standby mode as if you pushed the emergency knob. You need to go out of the game and enable it agian in the software. Its super anoying and i think nobody likes this option of insecurity while beeing ingame.
Or just cycle the E-stop button.

Exactly.
How somebody could consider returning to an Accuforce (I’ve had one) from a SC2 simply because cycling an E-stop is too much like hard work is beyond me.

To be honest I did not know the e-stop button cycle would do something different than a full power cycle of the wheel. I thought it was working as my main rig E-stop which is basically cutting power to everything (buttckickers, amps, wheel, moving seat.)
The point is that even if the wheel is great without this in my knowledge I could not trust the wheel and trusting my hardware is of high importance. I can’t put the team at risk because of hardware related issue. Looks like this time it was me that did not get how it works.
I’ll for sure give this a shot. I read back the manual and it looks like I misread this information…
If I got it correctly when you stop driving you push it. When you start again you give it a crank to release it?
If the wheel is not yet in standby does this completely stops the ‘going into sleep soon’ beep process? Or is the process still the same but simply allows to get it back up? (I’ll obviously see that upon testing but I can’t drive before the weekend and I’m curious.)
Thanks for the answer Mika.
To Si-Po I’ll just say I found the sentence quite harsh for a newcomer that simply didn’t get how the E-stop works. But maybe I just took it wrong so no worries. I’m absolutely not English native and could’ve just misinterpreted the intent of the sentence.

- Pressing e-stop will stop beeping and wheelbase going into standby altogether.
- To get out of stand by you can either use software Reenable Torque button or recycle E-Stop.
But I had few occurrences already when after standby wheel was just dead and needed full power recycle, the software was saying “E-Stop is pressed”, but recycling it multiple times didn’t do anything.
Could be related or not, not sure, just thought it’s worth to mention it in this context.

Wiki estimates a January release for 1.0.15. Is this going to happen? I understand software estimates are hard, just asking.
My new SC2 will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, january is almost over, I’m wondering if I should update to 1.0.13 or wait a few (?) days and go straight to .15
There is no harm in installing 1.0.13 first.
Making the release this week will be tight as we still haven’t finished testing the new torque controller.

allright, will install 1.0.13 then 
Thanks
is there an eta for the new recon 2.0 filter in sight?
its in development at the moment. Most likely the release after this 360-fix release will have permanent high torque mode without standby mode and with password-lockable profile settings. This will allow any sim business operators to set limits according to their safety standards.
And after that we will start to add more filters

For example, on RFactor2, I launch True Drive, I launch SC2 and then I launch Pitool (Pimax) and Fpsvr. Once on rF2, I check my set-up and finally I get on the track, and there I have to press the emergency stop to have my steering wheel fully functional. You have to understand that this set-up time is normal. Or that I can launch SC2 after the game has started, but it’s probably impossible.
Nice work, Mika, much better solution, thank you

That would mean i can start TD minimized with Windows Autostart and am automatically ready to go with my Standard Profile and no automatic standby comes in my way?
Love it Mika!
