Happy to wait for a stable version to be released on the website. TBH v happy you are putting in the effort to continue to support products.

The website downloads page will only show the latest "Stable" version. The v21.02.xx releases need a few more iterations before they can be considered "Stable".

The v20.11.00 release was created for very specific use case and was never intended for general distribution. While we cannot prevent links being shared, we would not advocate its use outside that subset of end users.

@Sim-plicity-Dev while we are waiting for the latest firmware could you update the simplicity web site page with the latest files so those of us that don’t often use Facebook can know about updates

You can search for it in the facebook group.
Dont know why its not available at sim-plicity's own download page.

v21.02.05 is now classed as "Do Not Install" for all.

v21.02.06 will incorporate fixes but is still "alpha" software and will likely change a few more times on its way to "Stable"

We decided on the staged releases as our in-house testing cannot replicate the myriad of available environments and we do need validation that changes in each release do not affect stability outside our "lab environments".

As all new versions will start out as Alpha regardless of feature set, the decision is more at which stage you feel comfortable to switch from your existing version.

At this point the key differentiator between v21.02.06 & v21.07.01 will be the firmware delivery mechanism (updater), with v21.02.06 reverting to the mechanism that has been in use (with minor niggles) since 2018 while v21.07.01's mechanism will look to resolve both those niggles & the issues discovered in v21.02.05.

While you have found the issue still not certain if it is worth the update or wait for the new version. Any recomendations?

v21.02.05 uses a new update mechanism designed to eliminate reported intermittent failures with the old updater. Unfortunately, it appears to have broken the failsafe bootloading mechanism that ensures an unsuccessful update can be easily recovered.

We will revert to the old update mechanism for v21.02.06 and look to resolve the updater issue in v21.07.01

Little issue I found, profile is not saving changes to virtual torque so I have to set it every time I turn the base on.

Many thanks, this has been logged as an issue and will be fixed in v21.02.06

The extra speed helps too.

As all SW15 wheelbases shipped with v21.02.05 firmware, there's nothing new in this release. Future releases will include SW15 updates.

@jeanv78

Did you by any chance uninstall & reinstall the Base Driver package?

Can you attempt to launch SW25.exe then repeat the "Event Viewer" operation, this time reducing the "Logged" value to "Last Hour"?

Base driver packaged solved the issue.
Thanks
