Thanks for confirming "Game Mode" better supports WRC 9 & 10. We'll update the Sim Support Matrix to reflect.

@sim-plicity-dev Thanks for that explanation. So I take it the SOP effect I think I’m feeling isn’t actually an added effect? It’s more likely to be the new tyre model on the L49.
Also where does “extraneous noise” come from? Is that an electrical/motor term or a Sim related detail?

@jwilkins personally i would save up for the normal sw15 i also have it my self and im very happy with it.

Hi,

though I'm quite late to the party, I might still help. 🙂
I got my SW8C+ running with DR2 using this guide: https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/690790/manuals/DR2_Multi_Input_Device_Configuration.pdf

My device ID is 028A1CBE-0000-0000-0000-504944564944

As with @AJW78 above , I expect most on here are now using v21.07.04 which would account for the lack of posts in this thread.
This release is classed as "Stable" (safe for all to install without issue) and all new supported units ship with this pre-installed.

@sim-plicity-dev said in FW 20.02.01 on Windows 11?:

@aotto1977

We've not encountered any issues running Windows 11.

Well, this is strange: Today I did a fresh install of Windows 11.
While the wheel itself works fine (with the last preset I applied, I guess), I cannot open the firmware.
Just nothing happens, no error message - nothing.

Any idea? 🤔

EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot to install the base driver package. 🤦

@rowland

No worries. Glad to hear you're back up & running.

@JeanV78

See reply here

@sim-plicity-dev I'll try these out thank you.

@sim-plicity-dev

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.

Cheers,

Thanks, to begin with the Save button wouldn’t highlight, I tried allsorts but nothing happened. I downloaded the software again and installed it and it seems to work now, slow, but working.

@the_old_man at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_direct-drive_sim_racing_wheels are some technical data on common direct drive wheels. My guess is that maybe you could juxtapose a "esport" model to a simagic 10 or alpha mini, when talking about cpr encoder?

And then see reviews on those, to get a hint if an esport is enough for you.
But if it was me to choose between esport and sw20v3 I would still choose the sw20v3, and not settle for less, because just as @Ochso said, I have also bought this as if its my "last" basewheel to buy. hopefully it can last +10 years and hopefully more.

@discopooh thank you for taking the time, I'll keep my eyes peeled

@sim-plicity-dev
Hi thank you for swift reply, I'm havingthe same conversation with support too this was my reply !.
I don't have images at the moment but will forward you some when I get home !  However I did unplug everything bar the power and the USB and tried it in every USB socket on my pc and two laptops and none of them recognised it at all, nothing changed in device manager or in devices and printers, it wasn't the latest firmware I used it was the middle one as I thought that it had been long enough for it to be safe to use lol. As I say there is a red flashing light inside and I can here ticking in the motor too when it's connected.

Many thanks for your help 🙏 Stu

@sim-plicity-dev Yep, looks like this was the issue. Didn't think it would be so obvious, haha. Must have come loose over time. Thanks for your help!

@sim-plicity-dev Strangely, they delivered it 4 hours after they said they delivered it... Not sure why they would do that, but the first half got here fine.. Waiting on the second package to be freed from customs jail in Ohio...

@discopooh

Thanks for confirming. Hopefully this will be the case going forward and the annual patching will no longer be needed

@sim-plicity-dev , thank you for the answer and explains
Kind regards

@sim-plicity-dev Thanks! Yeah it worked but I had to still manually find and add the DLLs to the correct folder. All seems good now, thank you

@stepunique thank you 🙂
