OSW issue any ideas?

ricerracer · Dec 21, 2017

Well I ran into a problem with my OSW, the part that attaches to the shaft came loose so every time I crashed or hit a curb the wheel would jerk, temporarily switch off and then loose the centre.

So I then tightened the hell out of it, I would no longer loose the centre but instead my OSW would constantly and loudly vibrate when I drive.

So I loosened it slightly, no more vibrations when I drive, but this time when I hit a curb It would RATTLE like CRAZY!

Okay so I loosened it some more but now it went back to the first issue, I would loose centre when I crashed or turned quickly.

I was thinking would a quick release be a potential fix as with them they slide onto the shaft? and do not get bolted on right?

Also does anyone know any good website that sells a quality quick release in the EU

Thank you.

Can't help you on the technical side of your problem, sorry. But for the quick release recommendation I run a holger q1r quick release w/ osw and very happy with it.

what quick release do you currently use? i have Q1R from Holger Buchfink and they are so absolutely bulletproof!

Okay thanks I emailed simracingbay and they told me to mess around with the settings, however, I am not good with doing so haha.

If you post your motor and hardware/firmware used, maybe someone has working setup you can try or help you with since there lots of different OSW suppliers/combos possible.

Do you loose the center or complete loss of ffb? looks like a fault mode.
I had this in the beginning with my simucube , same setup as you have..

the shaftclamp should be tight , not loosened up.

Jens Roos · Dec 23, 2017

Could you take an picture of what get loose?
When it ok, i assume you setup works fine without noise or vibration from the servo?

The new beta in it current state have better and more individual setting, overall the ffb gets better. But not every ffb function is implemented yet and not all games are supported. There is an new release in January so if you not using it yet I would wait for that.

It is easy to change to the new firmware but to get back to MMOS you need to access an jumper on the simucube board.

Big fan of the beta software, I had bad cross noise as well. Going to the latest beta firmware reduced it massively but using the new profiles in the simucube beta has completely cleaned it up and works great.

Here the settings I've been using for rf2 and assetto Corsa, I just play with the overall strength depending on the car, and AC profile is set to 900 degrees, rf2 I match the car settings for degrees.
