The release date is currently up-in-the-air (resources allocated to other projects) but it is still in the dev schedule

@sim-plicity-dev sorry/not sorry, for hijack/necro, but I'm looking for the SW20 Esports FW.

@storris fml, just found it I think.

@sim-plicity-dev got it thank you.
[s]I am having a little trouble with the wheel losing centre during a in-game car crash or a reset to garage in iracing.
I'm going to reinstall everything 'cos I'm pretty sure I was messing around with the wheel during installation.[/s]
ignore that, the wheel was loose and spinning on the shaft.

@storris
How much is it losing center? If its by a small amount, the wheel adapter may be slightly loose and slipping. Check to make sure its tight. I saw this mentioned in another thread where someone mentioned the wheel loosing center. -
@kevin yeah it was slipping.

Unfortunately, we've had to divert development resource elsewhere to combat component shortages. Once these projects are delivered, the firmware release cycle will resume
-
@sim-plicity-dev glad to here this hasn’t been dropped. Traffic on this forum has dropped which was a bit of a worry.

We did a ton of work last year based on components that have been unavailable for most of this year. We are now having to redo all that work for the components we have been able to secure in addition to building out our own SMT assembly line to eliminate our reliance on external stockholdings.
Fortunately, we are at the tail end of that process and will shortly begin to introduce some interesting developments.
-
@sim-plicity-dev good to hear
-
Is there any update on the firmware release. I noticed that you were also looking at Linux which for me isn't of interest but some development on the current platform would be good.
Thanks!

Not at all. All "new feature" development is being queued pending the hardware platform release referenced above.
Bug fixes are being handled within the 21.07.xx development stream

@Sim-plicity-Dev
Any news? Progress updates? Plans? When writing this post the forum showed me this warning:
Which is ironic, really.

I don't mind waiting and I like buying stuff from smaller independant companies. But I do think that for the amount of money we pay, we are entitled to a little more feedback from the company. The software has hardly changed since I bought my wheelbase over 2 years ago, except for minor bugfixes. Promises about updates and timeframes have been made and broken.Meanwhile most other wheels have a more complete software ecosystem, like a way to launch games with automatic profiles, a nice GUI with clear (less technical) description of the settings, a way to test forces and changes from inside the settings.
