Yea, I’m also running the 2021.12 (hotfix) and no issues for me. If you have a wireless wheel there might be a small issue if I recall correctly, but it’s perfect for USB wheels. I think 2021.9 is perfect for wireless wheel users until the issue on startup is fixed in a next release.
No luck downgrading to 2010.10, procedure was smooth but now when I start TD 2010.10, it just closes itself after few seconds.
Going to 2021.9
Did you also add the parameter to downgrade the firmware? Just opening the old Truedrive isn’t enought.
That is what is meant by procedure going smoothly, that is the procedure. Without the procedure firmware does not downgrade
2021.9 is running fine.
Now to sort iracing issue …lol
I can tell you my short experience with the last version of TD since i bought it. Now i understand it much better and it works perfect. In fact, it can change your experience in game a lot and let you drive a car in a completely different way. it detects the wireless steering wheel in less than one second when it’s turned on. No cuts, lag or mistakes in connection. Very useful and friendly, each time you change some parameters in TD running the sim (background), you can go back to the sim and feel the differences. It’s great and give you the chance to make changes very quickly (old version looks like to have some mistakes with it?¿) . All functions works fine and adjustments are really noticeable. If i’m not wrong, i think what you mean is the old versions were smoother?¿ granny effects?¿ I hate the granny effect, my old TS-PC had a lot cos the belt. With SC2, depending the game you can have that feeling but modifying some parameters it will disappear easily. The SC2 hasn’t belt but curiously the game produces that unreal effect (too much from the road surface) with its own FFB. I guess the game’s companies should check this. Recently i just can see how they are making worse FFB. That’s why i appreciate a lot to have TD software to correct this and get a better experience in sims.
Greetings.

Totally agree with you on the felt grain, in my case it occurs especially at the start of the car at very low speed and in the turns, it makes an effect as if it missed nuts on the wheels, moreover if it were necessary to modify the ffb for each car, in AC there are so many, that it would become impossible.
I wonder if it’s not more a problem of the content manager than of True Drive …
Hi getmlh,
Have you checked the “road” option in Content Manager? it amplifies the surface asphalt effect and this makes you feel like you said “missed nuts on the wheels”. My value is 3% in CM. More is an uncomfortable feeling for me. You can make it disappear with TD filter “Reconstruction filter” too. 5 is a good value(compromise) to me and 10 is like driving a standard street car. You won’t feel that “grain” although many people like having that feeling to be sticky to asphalt, they feel the car more alive and wheels more sensitive.
Greetings.

Yes, road effect on 0, this is the problem on the previous version I did not exceed 3 on the reconstruction filter, now it must be increased, it is good that TD to change something that for me is not going in the right direction …
Oh, and the other problem I noticed, I already reported but did not receive an answer or not very clear in any case, I will try to explain it a little better.
In simple profile mod I create a setting in this case high torque max and RAW / RAW I validate, I save and I play, the ffb is very good, I get out of the game, I edit the profile without changing anything, I click on cancel or ok I return to the game and well surprise there is no more ffb!
I have to come back in this profile to make edit, move the cursors to make a new save and the ffb comes back, it’s the same if I choose another profile, when I take back the simple mod profile there is no ffb, this problem is made only with the simple mod profile there is no save with the expert profile.
Why I use the simple mod? because I find that with its combinations the ffb is very very good, but with this problem the experience is spoiled.
So I don’t know if with the versions before 2021.11 the defect existed, this is another reason why I wanted to go back.
Greetings
2021.9

“Grainy” feeling in DD-wheel FFB is not a defect, it’s a feature. 
All DD-wheels share that trait. It just means that the servo is extremely responsive to the ffb signals. DD-wheels operate in a much broader dynamic-range than main-stream ones.
As users, it’s our job to find the settings that fit our personal ideal ffb. Grainy ffb can easily be avoided but, as a former user of geared and belt-driven ffb wheels myself, I had to relearn how to tune the settings effectively, what’s good in ffb, what’s not so good, what’s more realistic, etc.
We need to forget what we “think we know” about tuning ffb and explore what’s possible.
Even after years of DD-wheel use (on 3 different systems), I’m still learning new tricks.

True in general, and to DD newcomers can be even shocking.
But there are still some variation in smoothness across different FW versions.
2020.10 had the least grain, after that consecutive TD releases had different degree of increased “sand in the gear”.
2021.9 to me feels about same level as 2020.10. I drive with very low Recon so little variations in graininess show up pretty easily.

Out of interest, how do you test the differences between FW versions? Do you have a standardized procedure, driving the same spot on a track with similar setting in everything or is it more like a gut feeling?
I haven’t touched my FFB settings in 4 months and am as happy as ever with them through 3-4 FW versions. But as time for driving is kind of limited I probably don’t even want to feel any differences to not trigger endless tweak guest with them.
But still it’s interesting to read experiences and especially how people remedy the changes.

I ask myself if FFB not already varies based on the wheel attached. An Ascher most likely responds different than a Cube Aso. On top the in-game settings, Fe Assetto Corsa: gyro, extra FFB tweak, road/curbs+ other effects settings, FFB multiplier, post processing of FFB… the variations are endless. The car in use but different setup, the track but different conditions. The definition of “grainy”. Under the assumption that none of this was taken into consideration, and sure never be normed, all is based on personal preferences
All good points, Andrew. I use just enough Recon-Filter to reduce / remove any grainy feeling and prefer a good dose of Friction and Damping on top. I’ve not compared TD versions in terms of Grain level, though.
When i load in an online profile in paddock, how can i change its settings? i can only see a screenshots of the settings in use.
After you have logged in, and added the profile to your list of profiles,then there is a wrench icon when you hover over the profile in the list.
I think it’s not exactly like this. At least on my side. 2021.12 version, when I add online profile to my profiles, I can only switch or view it:
If I want to edit, I have to do DUPLICATE:
And then can edit:

Are you aware that you want to explain this to a top Granit team member? 
This was intended more for [fjskmdl], not for Mika
