SimHub plugin: Automatic steering wheel hardlock/softlock (SimuCUBE, Thrustmaster)

I'm not asking you to test CM with ACC, but to test CM with original AC. My code is based on the code of Content Manager. If it works there it means I broke something. If it doesn't it means they broke something and I not having an access to TS-PC wouldn't know how to fix it.

 

Understand, but I have no AC and CM, as I tried that in the past, and after some tweaking the full game getting buggy, I deleted all. I will check if I can reinstall them, and will back with the result.

 

Hi, the problem maybe the name of the device. In normal mode it is ts-pc racer and the simhub log said found supported device when starting the acc lock plugin
I am using the wheel advanced mode to reach more buttons, in this case the device name is thrustmaster_advanced_mode_racer and the log say no supported wheel found. Please add this name to supported devices and maybe will work

 

Oh come on, at least quote the whole sentence:

Touching nothing gives you no hardlock (or softlock for that matter)

 

OK, fair point. Still, the plugin is for correct toration and hardlock. Hardlock is imo very practical when you need to turn your car around after you've spun out so you don't turn the wheel too far. It also helps my immersion.

 

@pankykapus If that's the case then why do almost of all of the esport guys lock their steering to the car and not set it to 900 or 1080 for example? If the game is setting the steering lock on a per car bases then they shouldn't be doing it, correct? I think some clarification wouldn't go a miss here. Although I ,personally, have it set at 900 and let the game do its thing.

 

You quoted the part that was the easiest for you to make a laugh from. Instead maybe you'd show some respect for people that implement features for your sim you as Kunos dev did not. Your sims are the ONLY ones on the market that don't have this option. Does the wheel in the real car rotate past the point of the lock?

Where did the description of my plugin say that you need to rely on this feature while driving? If you're so good at quoting please show me.

 

No they do it in the driver AND acc. Basically doing what my plugin does automatically. You seriously believe that esports drivers would be so inexperienced as to even make an argument of this in a discussion. I lack words.

You're ciritising something you have no idea about? If you follow the simple instructions it's impossible to get a wrong steering ratio here. ACC doesn't give clear instructions as well. I can easily see someone having 1080 in driver and 900 in ACC and having wrong steering ratio as well just with your game.

And have fun taking a rotated car from grass back to the road without any form of lock. Maybe instead you'd re-target your effort to talk to programmers to offer a softlock in game as once again, your sims are the only ones on the market that don't have this option. The fact that others do and that people look for a way to achieve this in ACC should be telling you something.

 

Again, quoting the least important part of the discussion. You have a talent sir!

 

I'll give you one more. To have a proper steering ratio in ACC you need to:
1. Set an X value in the driver
2. Set the same X value in the sim.
3. Make sure the X value is >= the steering lock of the car they're driving.

To have a proper steering ratio with my plugin you need to:
1. Set 0 value in the sim (and you get a hw lock for free).

Somehow I see the first one as an issue. Maybe that's the reason you see so many discussions on the discord.

The second part is subjective. Lots of people don't agree with you. The first part is a real pity as again it shows you don't listen to your user base. Implementing softlock is easy (and don't tell me that programming is hard and I know nothing, etc, etc. I do programming for a living in low level stuff for 20+ years). And would make lots of people happy.

 

This is complete BS and the most useless piece of crap Ive seen for a while.

 

I don't understand why you're acting so smug about the sim you're a developer on not simulating the literal most basic aspect of a steering system. Like what? Every single car ever produced locks the steering wheel when reaching full lock yet this isn't a priority to implement in development for some reason. Embarrassing behavior.

 

Thanks for this tool, this work perfectly on Simucube 1
No doubts that will be in-game implemented, in Kunos I trust .
