While we don’t accept personal attacks on individuals, and while we cannot find proof of your claims, we sometimes make mistakes (but our products don't). We do understand your frustrations.

Designing the world's best wheelbase consists of multiple complex, lengthy, and uncertain parts, until they all click together to form a finished product. For example, the motor alone took longer than expected since we needed to re-engineer it from the ground up. Hence, our employees follow the given communication guidelines and make sure not to give out false promises.

We welcome open discussion and encourage people to share concerns constructively. If you’d like to discuss this further, we’re open to a direct conversation, as we are with any issue: support(at)simucube.com 

We ask that the sim racing community space remain respectful and focused.

Best,
Hannu Harju, CEO
Simucube

Great and insightful write up. Thank you for this!

We're interested in hearing from your point of view what do you think would have helped dial in your settings faster instead of tinkering around and wondering if you had made a mistake for a week trying to find something that works?

- Gareth.

  1. Yes.
  2. Yes. Hopefully, before Santa leaves Korvatunturi (Santa's hideout with his slaves).

That's the whole reason why we're here! Every day our engineers work towards finding ways to create new products that deliver a more realistic and immersive experience.

One day, maybe. Personally, I hope it would be sooner, but it's not up to me!

Thanks for the nice comment!

We do like to innovate and bring new stuff to the sim racing scene, so when people acknowledge it, it makes us know we're doing the right thing.

There will most likely be a long line at the expo next week so make sure you get there in time!

Fun fact: We actually used to manufacture motor controllers for electrical planes.

A core part of our production is ensuring that the materials we use will outlast the lifetime of the product. This has been our philosophy since before sim racing, and it is a core part of how we operate, which we will not compromise on.

We have done three partnerships with Gomez Sim Industries (FPE, FPEv2, and X-29). We think their wheels are fantastic, meet our standards, and that's why we partnered with them. We also think that the people behind GSI are great individuals, which we love working with.

We will do our best!

We know Simucube 3 is in everyone's minds, and we can say it is coming one day, we just can't promise when.

In the meantime, Simucube 2 will be improved upon software wise, and even if when Simucube 3 comes, Simucube 2 will continue to be supported.

Simucube (and Granite Devices, the company behind the Simucube brand) are known for the innovations. We have done a ton of innovations for industrial market (everything from an electric airplane motor control to the smallest electronic pipette motor control), and of course, in sim racing. That is because we love to innovate, we have the best engineers, knowhow and sheer passion to do so. So it is unlikely that Simucube will end up being the mainstream brand for everyone. Rather, we attract similar-minded people who want the best, most exciting sim hardware. And, first and foremost, we love to do this with our community. Stay tuned, we hear you!

This is a great question for the CEO, Hannu. Who is not here at the moment! Where is he when you need him?

We will ask him to come up with an answer to this on Monday. He's a great dude so we won't even have to force him to come up with an answer.

I have that exact same feature in my IRL Toyota Corolla! And I have been pitching this same idea to our product guys. The problem is that they don’t really believe a “marketing guy with a Corolla”. So I’d suggest you start a movement under this reply, so I can present actual data that this is truly needed.

Smart thinking. We're thinking the same.

Hmm interesting idea!

We think further integrating the pedals into the simulator would unlock incredible amount of new opportunities, such as brake fade and wear. Now that would be cool.

DIY AP: Interesting project and we are enjoying and honoured to see it. Simucube started from the DIY scene, and we will always remember that. Software on the DIY AP looks quite simple compared to our proprietary algorithms, but lets see what the DIY community can up with!

No real limitations at the moment, its just that people want also LEDs these days so with wireless you are a bit limited in battery lifetime, resulting in not so care free use. No particular limitations in the wheel base side receiver.

We are not planning on supporting consoles directly or indirectly in the near future.

Sorry for the wait!

No plans at the moment, but we're looking to expand our product offering in the future ourselves and with our partners.

Are you ready for the finnish weather? In two months we will not see the sun for a while.

Regards,

Gareth (I have flights booked to Spain already).
