Perhaps they monitor that more closely than these forums.

At least on their homepage. I now see the landing page has a 'Featured products' section and that section contains the newer compact series wheelbases. But most importantly; the screenshot of the wheelbase settings window show 'v24.02.01' as version number! Could be just a build with that version number changed, ofcourse.

Fingers crossed!

@thedozyone Yeah, their new wheelbases all say "Unavailable" just as the deadline for shipping them came closer.

Really sad.

I tried contacting them via the sales / dev emails and still no response so guessing the dev is dead here now.

Unless @Sim-plicity-Dev @Sim-plicity_Admin can prove me wrong??

As long as the base performs as it should. But without updates its only a matter of time before something stops working.

Thank you for checking the Facebook group. Pitty that communications is silent there also...

That's fine for you to disagree, I too made a considerable purchase (I purchased mine around 2020 at the covid price increase) I just think maybe someone needs to take a look.

For me it would be nice for a better UI but it's not a showstopper for me.

I'm on the FB group but don't think there's anything extra up there. I will try pinging them a message there.

I've spent a considerable amount of money on them in the understanding that it would be supported for a long time. The hardware is indeed fairly faultless (I really love it), but the software leaves a lot to be desired. Just look at the offerings of other suppliers; a more intuitive (and better looking) UI, software that is signed to work in Windows (it's a 'fingers crossed' affair right now), better working profiles with a games launcher, and then there's the (lack of) support for future titles if nothing is updated.

I love buying stuff from smaller companies and supporting them, but their lack of cummunication and updates leaves me wondering if it was a smart move.

Does anybody follow their Facebook group? I don't use FB but perhaps they're sharing information there.

I don't think anyone is doing any development on the product now. It seems that nobody has replied in a long time!

I mean to be fair the product is fairly faultless but some updates would be nice as it still has the odd niggle.

The latest alpha firmware is 21.07.02 and is from Nov 21, 2021
The latest beta firmware is 21.07.04 and is from Jan 31, 2022
The latest stable firmware is 21.07.05 and is from Aug 17, 2022

The alpha branch is the oldest and the stable branch is the most recent, but hasn't been updated since august 17th 2022. That's over a year without any activity or updates whatsoever. Am I missing something?

Is there a way to run the control electronics on open source drivers? Like from the OSW project?

Arjan

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 updates on this, it's gone very quiet I know you said about moving dev around but that was a while ago

@Sim-plicity-Dev @Sim-plicity_Admin

Is this forum dead now? No further development????

There's been nothing for a long time, would be nice for an update.

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.
