Thanks Ollie, those settings were great. I've responded further on the iRacing forum.

@rowland No worries. Glad to hear you're back up & running.

@rorymacduff Unfortunately not. The circuitry in question requires complete disassembly of the densely packed controller to troubleshoot and resolve. Given the zero-downtime requirement and presumably a preference for resolution before the Monza round in October, can you contact Sales to see if any suitable options can be arranged.

@sim-plicity-dev Its all good, it was an easy fix. Thanks for pointing me to the terminations, I dont think I would have thought to check them. Im just surprised that I didnt have any issues for the few years Ive had it until recently. This thing is working better than ever now!

Oh my days !! The new firmware plus 1.8 acc updated = foookin amazing!!! Absolutely on the money loving it !!

@sim-plicity-dev Strangely, they delivered it 4 hours after they said they delivered it... Not sure why they would do that, but the first half got here fine.. Waiting on the second package to be freed from customs jail in Ohio...

@sim-plicity-dev Yep, looks like this was the issue. Didn't think it would be so obvious, haha. Must have come loose over time. Thanks for your help!

@discopooh thank you for taking the time, I'll keep my eyes peeled

@the_old_man at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_direct-drive_sim_racing_wheels are some technical data on common direct drive wheels. My guess is that maybe you could juxtapose a "esport" model to a simagic 10 or alpha mini, when talking about cpr encoder? And then see reviews on those, to get a hint if an esport is enough for you. But if it was me to choose between esport and sw20v3 I would still choose the sw20v3, and not settle for less, because just as @Ochso said, I have also bought this as if its my "last" basewheel to buy. hopefully it can last +10 years and hopefully more.

@sim-plicity-dev Thanks for that explanation. So I take it the SOP effect I think I’m feeling isn’t actually an added effect? It’s more likely to be the new tyre model on the L49. Also where does “extraneous noise” come from? Is that an electrical/motor term or a Sim related detail?

@sim-plicity-dev Thanks, to begin with the Save button wouldn’t highlight, I tried allsorts but nothing happened. I downloaded the software again and installed it and it seems to work now, slow, but working.
