I’m seriously considering purchasing the Simucube Active Pedal Pro.
I’m extremely picky & sensitive with my brake inputs and how they translate to the inputs received by the game. I’ve had nothing but issues for the past 10-15 years with a ton of different loadcell pedal sets and tons of combinations of elastomers / rubbers, etc. I could tune the brake to be good for around the 1st half of input (eg. 0-50 %) but then it would be way off of my liking (too sudden, too jumpy & inconsistent) for the second half of input ( 51-100 %) or vice-versa. Or, I could tune the brake to be good for the full amount of input (0-100 %) but then it would be way off of my liking for the full amount of reduction (100-0 %).
I’ve spoken to some others who have admitted the same issues / annoyances with previous loadcell pedals - especially when using elastomers/bushings (springs help) - and they said those issues are NOT present with the Simucube Active Pedal Ultimate (probably due to a number of reasons like how the pedal’s electronics measure force, measure position, and probably a bunch of other aspects involving the pedal’s electronics, hardware, design, and software). However, they all said that about the Ultimate, not the Pro (neither of them have the Pro).
I’m wondering if all this will remain absolutely 100% identical with the Pro compared to the Ultimate. The physical design and possibly hardware & electronics of the Pro are different from the Ultimate so it’s possible there could be slight differences with regards to sensing and interpreting forces & movement - and the accuracy, smoothness/stability, and consistency - compared to the Ultimate.
