v21.02.06 Discussion Thread
-
just had a really scary moment with my wheel base sw15. 2 days i upgraded from 21.02.05 to 06. today i turned on my wheel base and it turned super violent to the right almost breaking my cable from my cube controls wheel and moving my whole pc almost off the table. WTF
-
Apart from the above have there been any problems with this latest firmware? I’m feeling like no news is good news so may update my SW20v3?
-
@scoops i also have not updated my sw25 so would be nice to know, or we just wait for this to be safe.
-
@scoops I updated my SW20v3 and had no problem.
-
@ace that’s the job for the weekend then
-
@sim-plicity-dev what is the best procedure to updating firmware on my sw25, coming from 19.08? just following the websites info?
-
@tim_haynes88 I updated my Sw20 v3 from the GitHub link and followed the prompts with the installer. Currently all good for me
-
@Sim-plicity-Dev i updated the firmware on my SW25 and it definitely has updated from 19.08.01 as now I have virtual torque and max speed can go up, which i never had before, However it still says v19.08.01 on the software box?
-
@Sim-plicity-Dev I also cannot click apply for virtual torque.
-
Sounds like you've updated the desktop app but the controller is still on the older version.
Can you confirm that the "Base Package" has previously been installed on this PC and not uninstalled in the interim?
Ensure when running the installer that the controller is powered up and USB cable connected. -
@sim-plicity-dev thank you all is okay now and i am on v21.02.06. I did not install the base driver package first.

@sim-plicity-dev
new firmware certainly changed the feel of my sw25 for sure. in the same car porsche cup on iracing i had to turn the weight down and controller mode up one notch for it to feel as smooth. increased speed is nice and the virtual torque definitely makes the slower corners and low speed ffb heavier and better for me. massive changes i can feel in this firmware going from 19.09.01. Thank you simplicty team -
@Sim-plicity-Dev any reason why on the new firmware oscillations very hard to tune out, on old 19.08.01 fimrware i rand 1.25 weight and had no oscillation when letting go of the wheel on the straights in iracing, now i cannot let go of wheel. I cannot turn weight up more than 0.50 otherwise i get sandy grainy feel, do i need to have controller mode up way higher? or do i need weighted center? my above settings feel goodand actually better overall but wheel is too lively on straights.
-
Just download and install the new firmware. It feels really good super impressed but was wondering.
My virtual torque setting is at 20.00NM at default and can't go any lower.
Is that the same with everyone else?If it is the default setting is it adding the new effect if kept at 20.00NM?
-
@grguthrey I forgot to mention SW20 V3 and my torque set at 20.00NM
-
"Virtual Torque" cannot be set below the "Torque" value. It is indexed to "Torque" and once set will rise and fall proportionally with "Torque" changes.
-
From your description the "Weight" value is too low for the car & track combination.
When optimizing for a specific car & track, you should set the "Weight" value to your ideal first (fingertip steering down a straight, not jerky out of corners), then adjust other values to reflect/improve. -
@all
As no release-specific issues have been raised. v21.02.06 will be promoted to "Beta" on Monday 11th of October. -
@sim-plicity-dev Gen 1 Lite - Due Sep 2021
Gen 1 Plus - Due Oct 2021Will people with SW20 and SW25 be able to upgrade there control units?
-
The new controllers will come in multiple configurations
- board only
- encased board with external desktop PSU (supplied or purchased from 3rd party)
- encased board with internal integrated PSU
Any of the existing wheelbases can be upgraded by selecting an appropriate configuration.
There will be a "Configuration Helper" tool available on release to aid the selection process.
