Simucube 2 wheelbases now in Tuner

All Simucube 2 wheelbases now work in Tuner:

• Simucube 2 Sport
• Simucube 2 Pro
• Simucube 2 Ultimate
• Simucube 2 Pro x Team Redline
• Simucube 2 Pro x Cooler Master

Control your wheelbase, pedals, and wireless wheels in one place—no need for two different softwares. The improved interface makes adjustments easier.

Automatic profile switching now works on all these wheelbases.

Tuner 2.5 shows Simucube’s commitment to long-term support. Simucube 2 wheelbases launched in 2019 and are still getting updates today. Simucube’s mindset is to keep products relevant as long as possible—and our wheelbases still have more to give.

Torque linearity filter allows to reduce or boost the lower small torque signals, and it was previously only available for Simucube 2 Ultimate models. Now we were able to bring it to Sport and Pro models too.

True Drive, True Drive Paddock, and Tuner

Tuner 2.5 now includes all key features from True Drive. True Drive is still available for those who prefer it, with bug fixes continuing for now. But new features will only be added to Tuner.

Importing True Drive offline profiles

You can move your offline profiles from True Drive to Tuner 2.5. Go to wheelbase settings, select “Import Offline Profile” and choose the profiles you want. Repeat this for every profile you want to import.

Alternatively, if you would like to import all your offline profiles from True Drive to Tuner you can go to the folder where your True Drive profiles are (usually at C:\Users\Name\Documents\Simucube 2\cachedprofiles) select all and then drag them on top of the Tuner Software window.

Paddock profile support is one-way

You can download and use True Drive Paddock profiles in Tuner 2.5. But this only works one way (downloading). We are rebuilding the Paddock system, both backend and UI, to let users share any profile (wheelbase, pedals, steering wheels) if they want.

To upload or update your Simucube 2 profiles to Paddock, you still need to use True Drive. Or you can export the profile as a file and share it in the Simucube Discord channel #wheelbase-profiles.

Simucube Wireless Wheels with major improvements

Tuner 2.5 lets you use all Simucube Wireless wheels, including all Tahko and Valo models. You can also use any wheel that supports Simucube wireless technology, like those from Ascher, SimRacingBay, SimCore, and others. You can find all supported wireless wheels from our website.

These steering wheels now work with any wheelbase—even non-Simucube ones. Just swap the wheel-side quick release and connect wirelessly through Simucube Link Hub. If you have an ActivePedal or Simucube Valo, you can use the same Link Hub. If not, you can get one separately.

For drivers using multiple wireless wheels, the update adds the Steering Wheel Button Configurator. You set up your buttons and shifters once, and they stay the same when you switch wheels. No need to remap every time.

New LED configuration tool for steering wheels helps making LED-setups for race awareness and real-time feedback. This especially useful for Simucube Valo users.

You can remap all buttons as you like. If you use multiple wheels, the buttons keep the same functions when you switch—no need to set them up again in the simulator or game.

ActivePedals with auto-switch & new profiles

Simucube pedal lineup has already been in Tuner software:

• Simucube ActivePedal Ultimate
• Simcubue ActivePedal Pro
• Simucube Throttle (input-mapping only)

Automatic profile switching now works on all these pedals.

We have split the pedal profiles to be separate from each other (brake, clutch, throttle) instead of one single pedal profile bundle, allowing the easier handling, ensuring optimal performance for every racing scenario.

Simucube has ambitious plans for future pedal upgrades, guaranteeing that your ActivePedals will just continue to improve over time.

Automatic profile switching has been requested by the community a lot and for a long time, and finally we had all the components to implement it: the telemetry data from the games – which cars to use – and now that Simucube 2 is also in Tuner, we can implement this system for all of our devices.

How automatic profile switching works?

• Start your sim
• Tuner detects your car and game: It remembers the last car you used, even after you close the sim. You see this info in the top right of the Overview.
• Enable auto-switching: Click the slider in the device box in Overview. This links your current profiles to the current or last-used car.
• Set a default profile for a sim: Click “…” near the slider to choose a default profile for a sim. If no profile is linked to a car, Tuner will use this default instead.
• Next time you launch the sim with the same car: Tuner checks if your selected profiles are active. If not, it switches them automatically.
• Unsaved changes? If you have unsaved changes, Tuner asks what you want to do.

You can turn automatic switching on or off in settings. Even if it’s off, you can still mark profiles for switching by clicking sliders next to device boxes.

Stream deck support

In Tuner 2.5, you can create shortcuts for profiles and add them to a Stream Deck.

1. Go to Overview in Tuner.
2. Click the hamburger menu.
3. Select “Create shortcut for profiles” – This makes a shortcut to switch to your current profiles.
4. Add the shortcut to your Stream Deck.

Done. Now you can switch profiles fast.

Simucube looking ahead

While this update is massive in scale, we have plenty more to offer. You can find the roadmap here showcasing what we are currently working on.

Simucube Tuner 2.5 isn’t just an update—it’s an investment in the future of sim racing. By upgrading, you become part of the next generation of sim racing software. Simucube will only keep on improving, so join to the future of sim racing.
