Changes and fixes - General

• Add more debug events of wireless wheels
• Fixed issue with Simucube Button mode when resetting settings back to as they were.
• Fix the wheel rotated over endstop LED notification to work correctly.
• ESC button does not hide the offline profiles list anymore.
• Mapping wireless wheel buttons to same buttons as a shifter on the Accessory Port works again.
• Wireless wheel automatic idle disconnect does not happen if any wireless wheel button has been pressed during last hour.

Changes and fixes - USB and FFB

• USB descriptor was tuned to make device compatible with Linux.
  • There will be no official Linux builds or Support.
  • We aim to add a wiki page to explain how to work with Linux.
• Descriptor changes caused changes in FFB effects that are used by mainly older games:
  • Re-tuned DirectInput Friction and Damping effects to utilize all parameters.
    • True Drive profiles will have 100% DirectInput Friction and Damping by default. It will be a good starting point for all games.
    • Older versions of True Drive could go unstable with 100% settings on these. Therefore older versions will load safe defaults for these effects if a profile made with this or later release is loaded.
  • Re-tuned DirectInput Spring effect to utilize all parameters.
  • Re-tuned DirectInput Sine Wave to work correctly in some situations where it did not work correctly.
  • Re-tuned DirectInput Triangle Wave, Square Wave, and Sawtooth effects to work correctly.
• FFB Device Gain set by the game does not affect bumpstops anymore.
• Individual gain parameter of the effects are now respected as per USB Physical Device standards.

Changes and fixes

• Reduce audible knocks in the DirectInput Damping effect. The issue was introduced in 2022.11 release.
• Resetting FFB parameters in Simucube Tuning Button mode works for all parameters without 485001 fault.
• Fix an issue where some Simucube Wireless Wheel 2 based wheels (e.g. Ascher Racing F64-SC V3) had a button configuration that was not working as expected.

Changes and fixes

• Further reduce audible knocks in the DirectInput Damping effect.
• Fix stability of DirectInput Damping effect in some games.
• Remove game-generated torque when bumbstop is deemed to cause unsafe torque jolt. This could happen when user changes FFB parameters from True Drive while the wheel is turned to be near the bumpstop, and a game is running. This fixes possibility of a runaway wheel in these situations.
• Added function to duplicate an offline profile.

Note: Please download and install Microsoft's Visual Studio 2019 Redistributable package (64bit version) from Microsoft's server if you get msvc dll errors when you try to start True Drive.

Changes and fixes

• Add new FFB setting: Centering Spring. This new effect that also works in-game, can be used to add self-aligning torque to the FFB, and it makes some old games that only had vibration effects more intuitive to drive.

• Add some new Ascher Racing wheel images.
• Remove unused code and some UI options that were not used.
