v21.02.06 Discussion Thread

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

@grguthrey

"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.

@tim_haynes88

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 2021

Will people with SW20 and SW25 be able to upgrade there control units?

@tim_haynes88

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.

@sim-plicity-dev okay this sounds great! look forward to it!

I finally upgraded my SW20v3 from v20.11.00 to v21.02.06

Works perfect, cant feel any difference from v20.11.00.
Using Rfactor2.

Is it possible to install this on my SW10C?

tjohansen · 22 Oct 2021, 10:21

@presha have you looked here:
https://github.com/sim-plicity/SW-firmware-alpha/releases/tag/v21.02.06
Its the first link in this thread.

Hi,

I'm just curious what you are looking for regarding feedback?
Are there any specific things sim-plicity devs are interested in?
What about the progress for the beta fw? Is it delayed because of too little feedback from alpha testers?

@tjohansen thanks!!

Sim-plicity Dev · 28 Oct 2021, 08:00

@ecky

Any & all feedback is welcome.
Too little (or no) feedback is still useful as it indicates sufficient stability to promote the release to the next level unchanged.
This is the case with v21.02.06 which is now "Beta".

We expect v21.07.01 to replace it as the latest "Alpha" release on Monday 8th of November

Will this firmware work ok with a SW13c+ ?

Last time I upgraded (V21.02.05) it didn't work well

tim_haynes88 · 12 Nov 2021, 17:43

@sim-plicity-dev new firmware delayed? and what is happening with new controllers?

Max · 17 Nov 2021, 13:43

no new updates?
