I just received SimuCube2 Pro from the dealer, and replaced my Fanatec CSWv2 with the SC2Pro. It physically mounted well and securely, also Fanatec wheel mounted well with the conversion kit, however, am experiencing a vibration issue when I playing iRacing.
The steering wheel vibrates strongly even when the car is not running or running straight. This occur even when the ignition is turned off on iRacing and the engine is stopped.
Frimware version: 1.0.33
True Drive version: 2021.1
True Drive setting: Read-only safe profile
Is this a hardware problem? Are there any settings I should check?
I applied those settings to iRacing, and the vibration is disappeared.
I also tried to change True Drive setting from safe profile to the preconfigured iRacing profile. This worked well too, but I found that clipping occurred frequently because the Strength was limited to 9.3Nm on SimCube side. So, I changed the Strength to 15Nm and 25Nm, and the vibration happened again
My biggest question here is why the vibration occurs even when the engine is stopped and the car is not running.
You’re going around things the wrong way. Create a new profile in your True Drive and set the torque there higher, maybe 15-16nm.
Set iRacing then on max-force to perhaps 35-40nm level.
After that, we can set some tuning filters in true-drive to remove vibrations and oscillatory behaviour, it will need some tuning with iRacing open-wheelers to get everything happy and working as it should.
Also, like Mika says, check if your coupler in the servo is tight. I suspect though a lot of that noise is coming from your rig rattling…
PS: Is your car turned off in the video just above, or is it idling in the garage?
Yep, it sure seems to be the case that something is feeding a signal to his servo. Simple to test, just exit iRacing and leave True-Drive open, see if it does the same.
There he can play with desktop spring etc to test very basics…but it is definitely a tuning-issue with some stuff from iRacing ffb section in ini file causing problems. Best to start with a fresh file.
I found that if I set Damping at 50% in True Drive, no vibration occurs.
If I set it at 35%, the vibration starts when I off my hand from the wheel in a straight line.
At 0%, the vibration occurs regardless the car is running, idling or engine is off.
What could be the possible cause in this case?
I am thinking that maybe it is the lack of stiffness due to using SC2 QR and Fanatec QR(with Conversion Kit) at the same time. It seems tight enough though…
Are you sure the damping is at 0%?
Can you show us the Force Feedback section of you app.ini?
It’s 0%. Here is my app.ini setting.
