Similar experience for me. When I loaded my offline ACC profiles (mostly based on Dan Suzuki’s - that’s not you is it!? 
) in Tuner it felt completely different. Hard to describe, but it was like driving through mud instead of on a track… lots of resistance where I didn’t expect it.
Fell back to True Drive and it’s all good again.
Hi
What I don’t understand is that when there’s a major update, some users transfer their profiles, something I never do, which saves me from any compatibility problems, even if it is possible to do so.
What I do, I take photos of the settings and copy them to the new software, with this solution I’m sure there won’t be any conflicts whatsoever.
I also think that it would be better to familiarise yourself with TUNER, because I don’t think that GRANIT DEVIS will keep 3 programs, and I think that TRUE DRIVE will disappear.
Thank you for implementing the FFB linearity feature and especially for allowing it to be reduced. I find a lot of cars, and sometimes sim/physics engines in general, ramp up the FFB forces to too high of a torque-amount relative to the amount of steering input, SAT, grip/slip, etc. and this then forces me to reduce the maximum overall force that I would like for those cars or specific games.
Is this identical to Simucube’s “Non-linear force saturation”?
I haven’t tried SC Tuner yet but I have asked for and complained about the “Non-linear force saturation” setting not being available to SC2 Pro users many times. That feature is the reason I purchased the Pro over the Sport - because some of the very first SC2 marketing materials said that the Pro would include a “Non-linear force saturation” setting/filter whereas the Sport wouldn’t but, until now, only the Ultimate had it.
This torque linearity setting for Pro and Sport users is identical to the “Non-linear force saturation” setting, yes?
non-linear force / torque linearity is exactly the same now for all device models.
Just tried the new Tuner software. I haven’t driven it yet though.
Tuner software seems pretty good.
There’s only 2 things - at least from the first few minutes of using it - that I would change:
Font size & Line Spacing
Why is the font so big and the spacing between lines so big? To make FFB adjustments, as well as to switch FFB profiles, the list must be almost the size as my entire screen and even then I can’t see everything.
Apart from affecting “ease/convenience of use” and therefore functionality, it also looks a little “childish” when everything is so big and “in your face”. It makes it look like the app is for a children’s product. I don’t really care about looks though, it’s all about functionality for me, but I still thought I’d point this out.
The “Status” and 'Effects" section are a good size. Everything else should be like that or similar.
FFB Profiles
Regarding the top-right button that says “Wheelbase Profile”. We shouldn’t have to click on that, then click load, then double-click the new profile we’d like. We should have a list of all profiles visibly available and able to be selected - on the main FFB screen. It’s not only for ease/convenience, but it’s also so we can quickly see what profiles we have available to us to begin with.
There’s lots of room to do this. The left, center, or right section.
Some ideas to implement it:
On the left section where it lists your devices and says “WHEELBASE Simucube 2 Pro”, you can have a drop-down menu arrow button which shows your profiles and allows you to select them. You can even implement this drop-down-profile-menu button for all devices (eg. pedals). The drop-down-menu button can be toggled on/off to show/hide the list.
Same as above (method #1) but with the left-side drop-down list showing the “Status” and “Effects” info instead of profiles since these are the things (“status” and “effects”) that most people will probably be paying the least attention to. This will free up the center-section (underneath the wheel rotation info) and then the current FFB settings can be moved there (to the center) and the FFB profiles list can be placed on the right-side (where the FFB settings currently are).
You can move the current FFB settings to the middle section underneath the wheel rotation picture. The “status” and “effects” can then go under the FFB settings, and then all the profiles can be listed on the right section (where the FFB settings currently are).
On the top-right “Wheelbase Profile” button, you can have a drop-down menu button there. Unlike the left-side idea I proposed above (#s 1 & 2), this drop-down menu will appear “on top” of the app because it’s only meant to be a temporary drop-down list - after you select a profile or click somewhere else, the drop-down list closes.
Compare Profile Feature (not mandatory but very useful)
A “compare” button that brings us to a page/screen where 2 FFB profiles are placed side-by-side. This compare feature should still allow us to make real-time FFB adjustments (and save them) from within it. It should also allow switching to other profiles to be compared using a drop-down menu to select a different profile. An enable/disable button on each of the 2 profiles being compared will activate that particular FFB profile.
P.S.
I can make a quick video explaining all this with the Tuner software visible on my monitor if you’d like. It sounds more complicated in writing.
There’s overwhelming data on our side gathered via Paddock and via the anonymous telemetry data collection, that most people spend the most amount of time to just select the profile and go.
Therefore, and with the automatic profile switching added, there is a single click dropdown per device in the device cards on the Overview screen. And with that view you can also mark the profiles for automatic switching.
It seems that neither of you noticed those dropdowns?
Ello!
I am the lead Tuner software designer (UI/UX). Thank you for sharing your ideas. I would love to see the video, as it’s quite challenging to get the full picture of the pain points you mentioned.
Video will be made within 48 hrs. I will notify you when video is available.
