Mark The Date: 3rd April 2019.

I just test drove DW12 at Sebring. And it was good.

Mika, you are becoming quite good at the teasing game these days. :grin:

Lots of good stuff coming. You guys have been hard at work.

Back to the firmware discussion. When we’ll see new firmware to coming out?

One might guess that some new developments have taken a priority. However, on the firmware side, the benefit is added smoothness of effects, and well tested Simucube Wireless Wheel support, plus a few bug fixes.

I’m testing the latest build myself at home with Simucube firmware, but not quite there yet - we need one added API feature implemented to IONI before we can release.

Ok. Thanks for info!

Great news, thanx Mika!

Im so glad I went with the osw. You can definitely see there are a bunch of guys that care behind it.

could the data from the telemetry be used for the ffb like gametrix or simhub for example

Yes, and we might actually develop something like that, sometime.

Today, I ported the revised version of the Configuration Tool Connection Manager part from another software to Simucube Configuration Tool. Found a few bugs also, and the result is a more stable connection.

Wow… Great products that simucube has released! Do i have to sell my mige or is simcube gonna continue the support simucube for old mige​:grin::open_mouth::open_mouth:

Does this relate to the SimuCUBE Open Source Firmware development?

I do not really understand your exact question. We pushed the open source code a year or so ago, and got almost 0 movement behind it except for some behind the scenes suggestions and questions. We also couldn’t keep it up to date to not reveal the Simucube 2 project to public too early. So, maybe we will push the Simucube firmware to open source once more, and see what happens.

It doesn’t make sense to keep things open source if nobody is taking advantage of it, so lets see…

The development of the firmware continues, and just last week we found some bugs to fix, such as the sine effect slider affecting also the directinput centering spring. Nobody has noticed this since 0.11.2 was released?? :slight_smile:

Mika, with the effort that you have put in, as well as to protect your IP, considering Team China and their clones, why give this away to them?

A risky move imho, unless I misunderstood which parts will be released to OS

Cheers,

Sorry. I’ve confused things by including the words “Open Source” in my question.

What I was referring to was the beta development of the excellent SimuCUBE firmware for the OSW, moving towards a 1.0 release.

Yes, we are deep into fixing the remaining issues. Current version in testing is 0.12.5 and it also runs on my Simucube 1 unit.

When the release time comes for Simucube 2, v1.0.0 will be available for Simucube 1 as well, or at least very close to it. There are things we want to look at, such as some remaining USB issues, that are important.

Cheers Mika, great news for us all :wink:

Evident by the lack of uptake, I don’t think there would be much community outrage if you released a final version of open source based simucube1 and then move future versions to closed source to protect your IP.

For S1 owners, the concerns isn’t really about it open and closed. It’s having confidence in continuity and a lifespan.
