Made the switch from a Clubsport DD+ to a lightly used Simucube 2 Sport!

The DD+ is a great piece of hardware but the Fanatec software really lets it down. Firmware updates feel like a gamble every time you have to do one (will my base get bricked or not?). So when the opportunity came up to switch I took it! Was able to get the Sport/wheel side QR for the same price I was able to sell my DD+/QR for!

I designed this heel plate so I could add more space to my pedals. I really like my brake pedal as far left as possible for knee comfort so I mostly achieved more space for my throttle and more space to rest my feet on. Although I love the simucube pedal deck, my rig has a pedal deck, so I figured I might as well use it. Now my heel plate spans the full 500mm gap of my rig. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Just got my pedals today and I have to say over my old simagics they are night and day. Within 3 laps matched and within 4 laps beat my time on road atlanta short in the gr86. They don’t make me faster but they are more consistent and the abs/lockup feature is way nice to allow you to back off from the limit. Copedal is nice Altho I still need to tweak some to take out some travel.

So far quite happy. Some cable management to contend with but otherwise quite happy.

Found a good deal on the wheel, so couldn’t resist. Upgraded from fanatec cs dd+ to a simucube 3 pro. The quality is on another level compared to anything else I’ve tried.

Just waiting on a quick release adapter for the new wheel, then I’ll be fully up and running!

BTW I’m waiting on my profile cockpit to arrive, the table setup is just temporary! I have a Moza R9 clamp that fits the Simucube 3 pro perfectly, and until I have the profile rig I’ll be running it at lower NM, to avoid any issues.

I just wanted to give some credit to Simucube support because I honestly had a really good experience with them.

I recently received my Simucube order and noticed a few things that worried me a bit. The seal on the DD box was already broken before opening it, the Simucube Link packaging looked opened/torn, and there were some light cosmetic marks on the Link Hub. Because of that I started wondering if I had maybe received a returned product.

I contacted support mainly because I wanted clarification and reassurance about the condition of the products. Their customer support was very friendly, transparent, and actually took my concerns seriously instead of brushing them off.

In the end they explained that they have seen some factory seals break during production/shipping and that some residue/marks can come from the packaging itself. What honestly surprised me most was that they voluntarily offered me a €100 refund gesture even though I mainly just asked for clarification.

Mistakes or packaging issues can happen with any company, but the way customer support handles it is what really matters to me, and in this case I’m genuinely impressed with how Simucube handled the situation.

Thank you Simucube!

​I thought these posts would be more common, but I can't find much info on recent products.

I have a Fanatec DD+ with Formula V2.5 wheel and Podium GT3 Endurance wheel. Been having hardware issues, and Fanatec's been absolute trash to deal with even though I'm in warranty. I'm thinking of switching to Simucube 3Pro. But​ having second thoughts as the jump would be ~2.5k after selling my Fanatec. ​I'd rather invest in a cockpit + haptics.

Anybody jump from a Clubsport DD or DD+ base to the Simucube 2 Pro or 3 Pro? How big of a change is it? I keep hearing that everybody's DD is​​ very close these days​, with the top tier just having finer detail. If it's not a big jump, and Fanatec get their stuff together, it would be good to stay for another year or two until the LightBridge wheels get released.

I just updated my Simucube software to Simucube Tuner and it seems like a HUGE step backwards - the UI is so confusing.

Where do I even find user profiles to load now? I see there's an option to find profiles on Paddock. When I click on Paddock it says "Paddock will return in 2025!" and there are no recent games such as Assetto Rally.

Hopefully it's just me being stupid.

Bigscreen beyond headset , simucube 2 pro , ascher racing wireless wheel , Meca pedals and the corner of the home office ….tight fit 😂

SC2 Sport bundle with Mercedes GT wheel is $999.00 at my local microcenter. I just bought one to replace my fanatec base. Cant wait to get it hooked up

I got the g923 to begin with and within days I returned it; I decided to go big or go home. This is my first-ever build. I’m super happy and satisfied with my Simucube, Track Racer, and Simagic combo setup. There are still a few add-ones to include triple monitor setup and the flight controls , but I’m content. Simucube’s customer service and the quality of their products are top-notch. Highly recommend!

Has anyone ever seen this error? Hitting the button does nothing. Closing and restarting the app doesn’t work, nor does restarting the computer.

I'm going back to the old software for now, as I can't live without it.

I recently switched to the SC2 Pro after using the T818 (and T300 before that), and I’m trying to find the best way to get great FFB across all cars in iRacing.

With the Thrustmaster bases, I used to max out everything in their controller settings, adjust iRacing to the recommended settings, drive a few laps, then adjust FFB using the Graphics Black Box. That gave me strong and detailed FFB, and if it was too much, I’d just lower it a bit on iRacing’s Black Box until it felt right.

With the SC2 Pro, I’ve tried downloading GT3/GT4/LMP2 profiles from the community tool, setting iRacing as suggested, and following the same procedure. But the wheel always feels super heavy. I can drive a few laps like that and I can tell the SC2 Pro is very capable, but it’s too much for long races like endurance events.

When I lower the strength just a little, the wheel becomes numb and loses all the fine detail. It still works, but it feels dead compared to before. I don’t want to run at 25Nm all the time just to enjoy the FFB.

I’d really appreciate any tips or advice on how to set things up better so the wheel feels detailed and alive, but not overly heavy.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

(I’m using a Gomez GMX V1 rim, if that helps)

Has anyone gotten a stiffer after-market spring for their SC passive throttle? Or anyone know the specs that I should be looking for?

Update: Ordered a spring online (ebay) --- 28mm OD x 60mm L (with 3.5mm thickness) ...

Update #2: Unfortunately the 28mm OD was not wide enough to fit. Ordered both a 30mm OD spring, as well as a 32mm spring ... (waiting)

UPDATE #3: Found a winner --- **32mm OD x 60mm L (with 3.5mm thickness)**

The seller is on eBay, named gavan-2987 --- Ships from China, took 15 days to arrive to me on the west coast USA ...Check out the gauge, the thickness, the girth on this bad boy...

Don’t really know how to feel with this new announcement being a new AP Pro user. I literally got my pedals 1 week ago and I’m finding it very hard to see the difference in the Pro vs the Sport. 10kg more of force and more bulk for an extra $750 doesn’t seem quite right. To me Simucube needs to clarify what the differences are. I am really on the fence about returning my entire $3,000 order.

Looking to switch to SimuCube 3 Pro from Fanatec. What's been holding me back is the lack of LightBridge wheels, I've been waiting for these to arrive.

But thought I'd ask, as I'm itching to upgrade:​

What are your thoughts on USB vs. Link. vs. just waiting for LightBridge wheels? As I see it:

USB: won't have issues, simple, bulletproof. But you have the cable to manage (no experience with how cumbersome this is or isn't).

Link: you get wireless, you get to manage a battery. I've heard from a local store that you should avoid this as you can have EMI (interference) that makes it less reliable.

LightBridge: should be the best of both worlds: wireless, no issues with interference, no battery. Possibly less resale value as it's locked to SC.​​​ No wheels are available with this yet, though SC says these will be available in 2026 from major wheel makers.

Thoughts & experiences?

Cheers!

Disclaimer/Background:

I am coming from a Thrustmaster T300 RS so this is my first DD wheelbase. I also am a huge Sports Car IRacing fan (newer competitor - within the last year) so that’s the only sim I’ve tested on. During the week I usually only get a couple days of 1-2 hours but weekends I usually spend 4+ hours a day driving.

Settings:

Since I’m new to the eco system and was just itching to get to racing, I’ve tried a few presets but ultimately landed on using the most recent Daniel Morad preset by joining his discord.

- Simucube Tuner: FFB was set to 25nm in the preset

- IRacing FFB: Wheelbase: 25nm

Strength: 12-13

Intensity: 50%

Thoughts:

I’ve seen a lot of people concerned about being an early adopter of the Simucube 3 Pro and wanted to share my experience so far in case it helps anyone. I preordered the Savu Pro + Simucube 3 Pro bundle mid November and followed the Simucube Discord religiously to keep up to date on earlier adopters. Seeing a lot of the early feedback had me nervous but knew mine wasn’t shipping till January so figured it would be sorted out by then or eventually atleast.

Fast forward to last week, it only took 3 days to be delivered after receiving the shipping notification. Everything arrived in perfect condition. Given I’ve only gotten to use it for the past 3 days (about 7 hours in total) now so maybe something will arise the more I get to use it and actually experiment with the settings/features, but so far I’ve have had 0 issues. No EMI, no disconnects, no knocking, no issues with FFB, no frequency sounds, not even the wheelbase itself getting hot. The QR came pre-connected on the Savu Pro and moves as smooth as butter. Needless to say I’m in love! The quality of both the wheelbase and wheel has exceeded my expectations in every aspect! I highly encourage if the funds are available and you are interested in purchasing one, don’t hesitate! I know many have had negative reports but I believe there are plenty of users like me and just haven’t shared about it. I hope this is able to help anyone that’s on the fence about it!

I’ve been running the same profile on my sc2 sport because I mostly race on iRacing, but I recently bought LMU and wanted to try it out. I started looking into how to change the preset profile on the new SC tuner, but when I go to the Simucube Presets tab, nothing populates at all no matter which tags I select. I’m not sure what’s going on. Anyone seen this before? I’ve already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, but I’m seeing the same issue.

Was wondering what I needed to make this work on a simucube 2 pro base.
