SimuCube 2: Changelogs und Updates

    • Offizieller Beitrag

    Grainy feel fix

    • Some tuning parameters were changed in the servo drive to get back to 2020.1 behavior.

    Small changes and fixes

    • Disconnection of a wireless wheel will not cause torque to be disabled, unless the wheel had a torque off switch configured.
    • After unlocking locked profile settings, they can be relocked again.
    • Audible beeps enabled/disabled checkbox also affects wireless wheel status beeps.
    • Physical sequental shifter connected to the D15 Accessory Port will map to same pins as the Simucube Wireless Wheel shifter paddles. This can be configured per-profile.
    • There is a command line option 'trayminimized' to launch True Drive to Tray Icon in minimized state (window is not shown).
    • Remove Simucube 1 overvoltage fault detection that was sometimes triggered when it was not actually the fault cause.
    • Added detection of possibly low wireless wheel battery in some situations where battery voltage remains high but the battery voltage would drop under load.

    Upcoming in the next releases

    • We decided to release 2020.4 due to some important fixes, and these features were not completed in time:
    • Bumpstop rework, including safety and ease-of-use changes
      • Bumpstop effect has been simplified. All bumbstop settings have 100% power, and there are three well-tuned settings (soft/medium/hard) available.
      • Bumbstop setting is now a per-profile setting.
    • Internal device telemetry data sync event does not cause wheel torque to be at zero anymore. This mainly affected non-FFB game titles.

  • Release contains many fixes and changes.

    Important fix for Simucube Wireless Wheels

    • Fixes too high battery consumption on some Simucube Wireless Wheels. Bug was introduced in release 2020.4.

    Wireless wheel scan changes

    • Wireless wheel scanning is not required to be started/stopped. The confusing buttons in True Drive been replaced with clear list and restart scan -button.

    Bumbstops

    • Bumpstop rework, including safety and ease-of-use changes
    • Bumpstop effect has been simplified. All bumbstop settings have 100% power, and there are three well-tuned settings (soft/medium/hard) available.
    • Bumbstop setting is now a per-profile setting.

    Other changes

    • Internal device telemetry data sync event does not cause wheel torque to be at zero anymore. This mainly affected non-FFB game titles.
      • Only slight torque roughness can be felt during the data syncronization event, which should be much better than it was before.
    • Desktop centering spring has been significantly strengthened to make it more usable.
    • There is a button in the advanced tab that can be used to copy all device identification data (software versions and serial numbers) to clipboard.
    • Further fine tuning for high-DPI displays, with command line options small and large to give some options.
    • Profile export functionality: Drop-down menu selection for exporting all the profiles, or just the current profile.
    • Device status updates are not frozen anymore after unsuccesfully importing profiles (bad file or not a profile file). Credits to Nir Nave for finding the issue.
    • Internal fixes, tidyups and changes in the device firmware.

  • Release contains Wireless Wheel and bumpstop changes.

    Forget all wireless wheels

    • Added function to forget all previously paired wireless wheels and tidied up the UI for this.

    Bumbstops

    • Bumpstops begin at exactly the same angle that is indicated in the user interface. (old behavior was to be at 100% torque at that point, so bumpstop began earlier.)
    • Bumpstops are not affected by the constantly operating filters on the servo drive.

    Other changes

    • Added a possible fix for some "stuck at waiting for the drive to get ready" -issues.
    • Added Support for Simucube 2 Sport and Simucube 2 Pro manufactured after week 38/2020.

    Quelle: https://granitedevices.com/w/i…_2_True_Drive_2020.10.zip

  • Bumpstop behavior fix

    • Changed bumpstops to avoid issue where the bumpstop force could be overcome by game-generated FFB in some cases.

    Torque tuning changes and audible changes

    • Fix constant audible tone issue in some Simucube 2 Sport and Pro R2 units
    • Change the long beep of going to standby mode to more informative tone.
    • Adjust controller tuning to reduce other audible noises from the motor.
      • This will be tuned further based on feedback from this 2021.1 release.

  • Recommended update for all Simucube Wireless Wheel users

    Changes and fixes

    • Simucube Wireless Wheels: Fixed an issue that could cause wireless wheels buttons to stop registering in games in some very rare situations.
    • Servo drive tuning: Reverted some changes in 2021.1 release that increased the audible noise in some situations.
    • USB changes: Reverted USB interface changes in 2021.1 release that caused device disconnects and device not recognized -issue after PC reboot.
    • Added protections to firmware to prevent corrupt settings when more than allowed number of profiles are stored into "classic" profiles. More than 99 user-made classic profiles cannot be used anymore (they never worked properly anyway).
    • Simucube hardware revision is shown correctly in the UI.

    Release supports Early Access of Simucube Profile Online

    • Profile Online Early Access is enabled for Simucube 2 R1 Sport/Pro drivers, and all Simucube 2 Ultimate drivers.
    • Profile Online Early Access will be released soon as a separate download.

    How to use Profile Online and Classic modes

    • The _Online Early Access.exe file launches the online version, and if online mode is active, the online mode sends the active profile to the device.
    • If _Classic.exe is launched, Online mode is deactivated and classic-mode profiles can be used as backup. Note, that classic mode as-is will be removed in future version.
    • Migrating to Online profiles: Export each of normal profiles to separate .ini files and import them when creating new profiles in Online mode.
    • Save settings -button (for permanent settings saving) in Online Mode has been moved to the Hardware settings tab.

    Note: Download is temporarily hosted on a 3rd-party site due to an unforeseen configuration issue.
