New cable (Ugreen 2m shielded USB2 A to B, for reference) seems to have done the trick, will leave it on for a while to see if there's any drops but so far so good.

Will report back if any issues occur.

I played again yesterday and it had the lack of FFB issue came back. I deleted the ACC profile, but all the settings were still there so I reassigned the wheel anyway and the problem was still there.

I then tried playing not in VR and it was ok and then went back to VR (hp reverb) and it was fine again, so I'm wondering if something is glitching with the VR software maybe?

@Sim-plicity-Dev said in USB PCI-e controller not working with SW20v3 base:

@frijsdijk

The wheelbase heavily exercises the USB bus and will forcibly eject itself if the bus it is connected to is not sufficiently stable.
As your description suggests all is fine using the motherboard ports, it would appear the PCI-E USB bus is currently below the stability threshold.

Replacing your USB cable with a new Shielded cable would be a first step in raise the bus stability over the threshold.

Thank you! I'll try some time (found other solutions)

@frijsdijk

Your description suggests UCR is grabbing control of the FFB channel from iRacing (probably on startup).
You can get iRacing to wrest control back by disabling then re-enabling FFB within the Options>Force Feedback menu

Make sure you exit the Options screen between disabling and enabling.

Thanks for your help

"Center Wheel" in the simplicity software has always worked for me even if its just a few degrees out.

Hi,Hello,
sorry I completely forgot to comment. Indeed it is the QR on the steering wheel side that is starting to loosen up, in addition to that, the base of my aluminum profiled playseat was slightly unscrewed.. which makes with the power of the engine produced, it's a snap at each change of direction. Thank you again for taking the time to respond to me. And sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Wishing you a good day. Cordially.

@lokcy

Thanks for the update. It does appear the new version does not agree with supporting files from the previous versions.
We'll take a look at the Presets Installer to see if it is still required /relevant to the new version.

@loermansa that would be great, I really like this wheel...if it could last as long as possible.. 😅🙏🏽
@Sim-plicity-Dev @Sim-plicity_Admin 🙏🏽☺️

@Sim-plicity-Dev Thanks for sharing these. I've been using them for iRacing for a while now but realise you were sharing above in reference to Oval racing - what would you tweak for open-wheel road racing and GT3’s?

@Rowland
There's always some power usage, even if devices are in standby...

I have all of my rig devices (steeringwheel, usb-hub, control unit, bass kicker amp, button box) running through a single powerstrip that has a physical on/off switch. That way I am sure nothing draws any power when not in use.

@loermansa thank you Arjan, and sorry for the late reply.
I did actually get it going, but now I had to restore the pc to an earlier point and I forgot how I got it running again lol.uat be the order that I installed everything. Have to work that out again.
Cheers for the reply
