SimHub Plugin for SimDash

Overview

The SimHub plugin allows SimDash to read telemetry data from simulators that are not natively supported by SimDash, using SimHub as an intermediary. SimHub supports a wide range of racing simulators, and this plugin bridges that data into SimDash so you can use your SimDash hardware with any simulator that SimHub supports.

Requirements

  • SimHub installed and running
  • The SimHubPropertyServer plugin installed in SimHub (see below)

Installing the PropertyServer plugin

The SimHub plugin relies on the SimHubPropertyServer plugin, created by pre-martin. It exposes SimHub telemetry data over a local TCP connection that SimDash can read.

  1. Visit the GitHub repository: github.com/pre-martin/SimHubPropertyServer.
  2. On the right-hand side of the page, click Releases.
  3. Download the latest release DLL file.
  4. Copy the DLL into the root folder of your SimHub installation (the folder containing SimHubWPF.exe).
  5. Start SimHub. On the first launch after installing the plugin, SimHub will ask you to confirm the execution of the new plugin. Click Accept to enable it.
Many thanks to pre-martin for developing and maintaining the SimHubPropertyServer plugin.

Using the SimHub plugin in SimDash

The SimHub plugin does not start automatically when SimHub is running. This is by design: you may have SimHub running alongside a simulator that SimDash already supports natively, and in that case you would want SimDash to read telemetry directly from the simulator rather than going through SimHub.

To activate the plugin, choose one of the two options below.

Option 1: Manual selection

  1. Make sure SimHub is running with the PropertyServer plugin active.
  2. In SimDash, open the Simulators menu.
  3. Select SimHub from the list.

Option 2: Command line parameter

Start SimDash with the --simhub parameter to activate the SimHub plugin automatically on launch:

SimDash.exe --simhub

This is useful if you always want to use SimDash through SimHub, or if you want to create a dedicated shortcut for this purpose.

How it works

Once activated, SimDash connects to the PropertyServer plugin running inside SimHub and receives real-time telemetry data from the game. This gives you access to:

  • RPM, speed and gear
  • Fuel, temperatures and pressures
  • Pedal inputs
  • Lap times and flags
  • Tyre data, and more

All of it is forwarded to your SimDash hardware devices just as if SimDash were reading the simulator directly.
