True Drive Paddock is a system where your Simucube settings are stored in an online cloud. You can share and use other driver's settings profiles if you wish. This makes it much easier to share force feedback settings between users as there is no need to share them on forums, Facebook user groups, or other similar platforms via a complicated manual screenshot process.
The original working name of the system was Online Profiles, but as we intend to include also other community-like features to the system, we have renamed the overall functionality to True Drive Paddock.
True Drive Paddock is initially available as a separate download that matches the True Drive release version.
Every Simucube owner is able to use the Profile Online system in the Paddock. During the Early Access phase, the access was limited to all Simucube 2 Ultimate drivers and those Simucube 2 Sport & Pro drivers who had to wait extraordinarily long for their devices during the hardware component shortage and pandemic in 2019 and 2020.
On the first run, True Drive Paddock requires a registration process (available from the top right in the user interface), and after that, you only need to log in to the system periodically. While the presentation of profiles is more graphical than in the previous profile management system, the basic idea is the same: A driver needs several different FFB settings to have optimal Force Feedback experience in various games and vehicle types.

True Drive Paddock can be used in all places where Simucube 2 can be used. There are no geographical restrictions. The required bandwidth from the network connection is very low.
Note for lounge users who have multiple running rigs:See separate readme file for enabling Lounge Mode that has been designed to work with multiple rigs running the same user account.
Yes. To be able to use True Drive Paddock, an Internet connection is required. An offline fallback mode is available:
Yes. You can set a default profile by first activating a profile in Paddock mode and then viewing it's settings. Setting a default profile is not supported via the offline mode.
True Drive Paddock does not support Simucube 1. For Simucube 1 systems, other differences between devices - power supplies, motors, encoders in the motors, and servo drive tuning parameters that drivers can edit via Granity affect the driving feel. Therefore, the usability of such settings sharing is not as good in Simucube 1 as it is in Simucube 2, where there are always the same motors, power supplies, and servo drive tuning parameters.
Old ("Classic") settings profiles are not converted or saved automatically to the online cloud. However, you can export each of your "Classic" profiles to a separate .ini file by using the Export button (in the Classic mode), selecting "Export this profile", and then importing those settings when you create a new profile in the Online mode.
There are very few known issues. Some of them we will be able to update via the online app, and some will be updated later.
You can share your own Profile by viewing your profile details and clicking the "Publish" button in the menu. There must be some metadata, such as which simulator the profile is meant for, in the text fields. Without this information, publishing is not possible. No profiles are automatically shared with other racers.
Profiles that other drivers have shared are presented in the Online Profiles view with several useful filtering options.
Yes, you can add a profile from the "Online Profiles" view to your profiles, and you can choose whether or not to update the Profile as the online Profile is being updated by the driver who shared it. You can also make a copy of this online Profile and edit it yourself.
