9.0.3 – 13/09/2023

Fixed BeamNG new telemetry mod compatibility for trucks and any cars with special drive train (multiple, missing …)
Added a few additional raw telemetry channels for beamng (light_LowHighBeam, light_LowBeam, light_Fog)
Improved UDP conflict detection, simhub will continue checking unless the game is connected, in case of conflict detected the information will be kept sticky to help with conflicts occuring only when the game is launched.
Fix : Added a workaround for some plugins reinstantiating the ncalc/js engine in a loop, coupled with the latest performance optimisations this was causing a significant memory pressure leading to out of memory errors.
Added dash notifications for device loss/connection in the control mapper plugin

9.0.2 – 11/09/2023

Improved monitor serial number error handling and logging (errors would lead to broken monitors listing)
It’s now possible to enable/disable dash plugin messages on “web-slots”.
In some conditions overlays were listed in the taskbar, they are now always hidden from the taskbar as it was previously.
Improved dash playlists management
- Per car playlist UI will show the first dash of the playlist and how many more are configured.
- The default “game dash” for a game can now be used for not configured cars.
NCALC-JS :
- Added formula parsing caching, allowing to save loading times and memory on heavy and repetitive dashs (like leaderboards)
- Downloadstring now returns the error in case of server failure.
- Added a new “non blocking” method downloadstringasync.
“Oldies” : Added basic NR2003 Season support (latest “patch” 1.2.0.1)
Added support for Zen’s Simwheels SIMDASH-ELITE 4.3
Added “Widgets instance variables”, allowing to pass specific variables values from the parent dashboard to the specific widget instance/
Fix : It’s not possible anymore to delete the last profile in the profile manager (leaving the feature such as leds, shakers …) with no current profile.
QOL : Leds previews in effects headers can be clicked to allow quick position identification.

9.0.0 – 9.0.1 – 31/08/2023

This new major version started on an heavy focus on “on screen” dash windows management with a complete rewriting of that part , and ended to affect all aspects of dash management … desktop, web, overlays, usb screens …. as well as many little (but significant 😉 ) changes along the road.

Take a deep breath …. here comes the “condensed” changelog of almost 5 months of work !

Dashstudio Desktop

Unlimited dashboard saved locations
- It can be a monitor, a predefined windowed location, or simply the last location.
- Saved locations creates a “device” offering a similar “all in one” experience as other usb devices
- Various “Start mode” (At simhub startup, at game process start, at game connected or even manual).
- Individual controls for each location (next screen, previous etc …).
- Controls to open/close the dash.
- When opening on a location from the dash list the dash will replace the previously displayed one.
- If the dash is configured to be displayed on a specific monitor it will automatically close/open depending if the monitor is available.
Dash Playlist management
- Ability to choose precisely the next/previous dash content :
  – All dashboards
  – Favourite dashboards
  – Specific playlist
- Added explicit per game default dash/idle dash reloading
- It’s now possible to assign car specific playlists.
Better handling of “transparency” for dashboards (it will automatically detect if transparency is available in the design and remember the last state).
Better handling of dashboards previous/next actions : they will now take care of switching automatically to the last saved rendering engine and transparency settings)
Replaced the desktop HTML Rendering engine from CefSharp to Microsoft WebView 2.
Updated CefSharp to the latest version (Still Used by USB displays and webpage component in WPF rendering engine)
Html engine rendering rate is now separately configurable depending of the usage : desktop or browser
It’s now possible to choose the default rendering engine globally (HTML or WPF)
Dashboards resizing can now be done in a more window standard way by grabbing any side
Workarounds for monitor resolution changes, when in full screen if the dash is pushed away from the monitor (IE : during primary monitor resolution change), the dash will recover its intended screen automatically.
Scalable dash UI : Buttons and title bar can be scaled up or down
Better monitor identification (a kind of mix of monitor name, windows id, serial number, eeid informations ….) allowing to more consistently keep track of a unique monitor
Workaround for windows taskbar sometimes losing track of fullscreen windows and sometimes covering a dash.

Dashstudio USB devices (Vocore, usbd480 …)

Added dithering algorithm
Updated support to add the new dash playlist management system (see above)

Dashstudio WEB (Mobile, browser ….)

It’s now possible to create a mobile device “slot” with complete remote control giving a similar experience and control as an usb device
- Automatic dashs changes
- Per car playlist management
- Force landscape support
- Mirror support (for aftermarket phone Hud mirrors)
- Easier controls assignment (one slot => one set of controls)
- List of connected devices to the “slot”

Dashstudio Overlays

Reworked the “overlay editor” to get it more friendly
Added overlay edition control
Added overlay close control
Added semi transparent background during overlay edition to make it easier to locate parts
Overlay layout control window is now only “Top most” when focused allowing to bo above the overlays when used, but behind the game and overlays when not focused.
Overlay layouts auto start :
- It’s now possible to choose a global default overlay layout or a specific one for each game
- Autostart can now occur right at start/game change, or can be deferred to game start
- Multiple deferred auto start behaviours available (Only start once, start every time, start and close automatically

Dashstudio Editor

Added video (webm) component (this might not work on IOS where “autoplay” is messy)…

Games

Added eXpansim support
Added volvo the game support
Added RDS – The Official Drift Videogame support
Completely took back from the ground BeamNg support with a dedicated telemetry mod providing significantly more data than the combination of official OutGauge/Motionsim outputs.
Updated game “start options” to add “VR” (SteamVR) /”OtherVR” (Oculus) options for games supporting it (for steam).

Devices

Since a saved dashboard can now be used as a “device” any HDMI screen can benefit from it :
- Added a new standard device : standard leds + hdmi screen
- Updated the DDU10 device to offer dash control (it needs to be deleted/added back).
Removed the now obsolete “load legacy settings” option when adding devices.
Added support for Chimaera Racing CR-5 Pro
Added support for SimCore STD98
Updated default soelpec default device profiles

Belt tensioner

UI styling changes
Added pitch/roll acceleration effects
Expanded smoothing ranges
Splitted Gain and Max actuator travel for better flexibility
Added a connection status indicator
Added a button to test that max travel is not losing steps
Added a recalibrate button and action

Other

Thanks to the lessons learned during the dash window rewrite a workaround for the extremely annoying NV surround behaviours has been added (Shaking window during maximizing, taskbar position randomly taken into account …). The window will resize itself to the correct location instead of letting the system (and nvidia) do it avoiding the Nvidia surround “approximate” behaviors. (Added to the simhub main window as well as the dash studio editor.
Since administrator rights are no longer mandatory in most of the “normal” uses cases,
- SimHub won’t prompt anymore for administrator rights at first start
- Game setup will use an external “elevated” process, time to install the plugins/make required config files changes instead of requiring whole simHub privileges elevation.
- SimHub will check for game process elevation and alert in case the game runs in higher privileges.
More homogeneous styling of game alerts (manual configuration,auto configuration, udp conflits, admin rights)
Reworked Tab control styling (it clearly had a “visibility” issue)
Added an option to the installer to install/update the default dashs/overlays
A new welcome screen will ask for your preferred units at the first Simhub start

Notes

Known plugins requiring an update :

leoxz plugin won’t work with v9 version (SimBridge 1.4.1 at the time of this writing) until it gets updated (due to the CEFSharp upgrade)

Android app has been updated :

Existing Android App must be uninstalled before installing the new one, to download it simply open the dash list from the mobile browser and download it from here.

Are you still here ? 🙂
Thanks to everyone who have been providing ideas, feedbacks or encouragements along this very long road !

Added joystick “buffered data” reading (in both joystick and control mapper plugin) allowing to catch insanely shortly timed button presses sometimes occurring on encoders.
Added a “forget device” confirmation prompt in the arduino settings

Have fun !

8.4.10 – 04/08/2023

Fix : 3Drap VOTA buttons physical ordering
New : Simutec SDU3 support
Fix : Windows location on startup was wrong on a screen with scaling > 100%
Fix : Serial number on leds device was still taken into account when the option was unchecked but a serial was already picked.

Added Experimental support Drift21 support
Added support for BavarianSimTec Omega Pro
Added support for 3DRap Vota
Added support for multiple leds devices of a kind for the standard protocol using unique serial number (documentation and sample code to be updated soon)
Added support for GRID brows extensions (up to 4 modules)
Added support for incoming GRID leds devices firmware with unique serial number (DDU10/5) allowing multiple device support.

Have fun !

8.4.7 – 8.4.8 – 06/07/2023

LibUSB upgrade (Vocore, AX206) , this seems to solve screen not detected issues on some systems.
Added support for GSI X29
Added support for some Reiza Studios “oldies” (rfactor 1 based) :
- Copa Petrobras de Marcas
- Formula truck 2013
Fix for a crash suspending telemetry in iracing when still in the menus.

8.4.6 – 01/07/2023

Gap computation
- Added a setting to SimHub gap compuration algorythm choice : Micro sectors vs Distance to time (legacy), default is legacy Distance to time.
- Smoothed micro sectors computation
- Micro sectors computation is now working on replays
Fix : Reading the sound input status could lead to a dead lock.
Fix : Static map render in HTML (mobile, usb displays) will now render the player on top (like the desktop engine)
Added ShakeIt information messages when there are no effects and/or no outputs configured.

8.4.4 – 8.4.5 – 27/06/2023

Added dashboard variables (reusable variables at dashboard level which can be transmited to child widgets)
Added new dashstudio images tool window
Added dashboard local javascript extensions (so extensions can be exported/imported with the dashboard)
Added Drag’n’drop support for rpms segments (led editor)
Added shortname (F. Lastname) for opponents data
New ncalc/js functions : drivershortname, driverinitials
Added BestLapOpponentSameClassPosition property
Added sound input mute toggle action (mic …) and related status property
Fix : Overlay<->Dashboard conversion not refreshing the lists
Completely rewritten gap estimation for games not providing it (AC, ACC …..) using a “micro sector approach” ,
Warning : this is a generic “F1 Like” computation : this can’t give exactly the same result as in game displays. Games uses many different computations/estimations which can’t be reproduced exactly unless the game provides directly in telemetry the shown values.
NB : When games gives those values, this computation is overriden by the game reported values.
Relative gap (ahead/behind on track) now uses the previously mentionned “micro sector approach”
Workaround for invalid ACC opponents data when they are crossing start line (Completed laps + Spline position inconsistencies) messing the leaderbaord order
Added support for Zen’s Simwheels Uniflex-Elite
Reworked F123 RaceControlDRSEnabled raw property to reflect the three states (no information sent = null, enabled = true, disabled = false)
F123 : Added red flag status reset when the start lights are starting.
New : ACC, Use temperatures (air, road) from Braodcasting API when not availalble from shared memory telemetry
8.4.5 Hotfix :
- Removed some now useless constraints before ahead/behind data were made available
- Fix for the BestLapOpponentSameClassPosition not giving the correct value

8.4.2 – 8.4.3 – 16/06/2023

F1 23 : updated teams names from the latest F123 specifications.
F1 23 : extracted Tyresetdata
NCALC/JS engine : added bestsectortime function
8.4.3 HOTFIX : Fixed automatic game detection only working once

8.4.1 – 13/06/2023 – Hotfix

Fix : F1 23 reading could crash when reading the new tire set data, the data has been removed time to get a better understanding of how it works.

8.4.0 – 12/06/2023

Added initial support for F1 23 (Thanks for everyone who helped to add it during the beta phase)
Improved Fake CH340 chips detection and added automatic driver fix prompt when the required conditions are met (fake ch340G with latest driver)
Improved serial port device name detection for HID devices (it will show the USB descriptor device name instead of a generic Serial port name), available in both simhub and setup tool.
Improved package manager (Arduino, drivers …) cancel handling.
New devices added :
- GRID DDU5 native support (needs an incoming firmware update)
- GRID DDU10 leds native support (needs an incoming firmware update)
- Precision Sim Engineering PSP support

Have fun !

8.3.13 – 29/05/2023

Added new ACC Mclaren 720s gt3 evo brake bias correction
Added Fanatec pedals rumble data stream timeout to avoid getting SimHub getting stuck in case of hardware/usb issue.

8.3.12 – 25/05/2023

Since a recent driver update delivered through windows update, some counterfeit CH340G won’t work correctly (used on some Arduino clones) : Added warnings about these chips issues and links to help diagnose it. Those messages will appear when:
- A CH340G based serial port is selected in the Arduino Setup tool
- A CH340G based serial port has been scanned without success in SimHub (unrecognised)
Fixed : Dash studio Z-order menu wrong labels.
Fixed : On Dash studio button component the simulated keys property was readonly.

NB : Overall it’s not possible to detect automatically if a CH340G chip is genuine, those messages are purely informative and shown for any CH340G chip to help you troubleshoot issues if unfortunately you are victim of a fake CH340G chip.

More information about counterfeit CH340G : https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki/Arduino—Counterfeit-Fake-CH340G-chips-driver-issues

8.3.11 – 19/05/2023

New
- Default wheels buttons colors changes are now visualized in real time on the device instead of being applied after validating the dialog.
- Added rim model detection for the control mapper plugin for Fanatec bases (thanks to Fanatec for making it possible).
- If a javascript extension is invalid SimHub will continue executing other extensions instead of rejecting the whole JS expression.
- Added a search box in the “add device” dialog.
Fixed
- Dashboards/designer could freeze after a game was taking/releasing fullscreen (old <=DX11 games) when running a dashboard with Dial Gauges
- New RF2 plugin data were getting mixed.
- Logging was creating an useless empty file when starting as administrator
New devices added :
- Ascher Racing McLaren Artura SPORT-SC
- Ascher Racing McLaren Artura PRO-SC
- GRID Brows V2 (this does not cover old Grid Brows “V1” still emulating the arduino sketch).
- Added support for multiple HSR fans in the ShakeIt wind plugin (Multiple fans support requires new hardware versions embedding an unique identifier)
- CP-S Formula (Collaboration between TwentyOne Performance, Pro-Sim and Cool Performance)
- Reorganized Grid devices to offer simple/advanced devices profiles instead of a limited generic “Grid by simlab” profile.
Technical :
- Upgraded VC++ x86 2019 redistributable to VC++ 2015-2022 x86 redistributable package.

8.3.10 – 08/05/2023

Added new ACC DLC cars brake-bias offsets
Updated RF2 plugin to the latest version (adding some electric data support to the rawdata), this version is the same as Crew Chief to avoid any useless conflicts.
Fixed controller plugin not showing all the devices when the list was too long
Startup screen is now showing in taskbar.
After USBD480 disabling / disconnecting touch is now disabled (to avoid some sticky issues with non touch versions requiring a physical power cycle to get touch disabled internally. This was causing extra bandwidth usage and display shifts on an overloaded USB port/hub and making hard to diagnose such bandwidth issues)
Added two global shortcuts (working from SimHub main window) :
- CTRL + L : Opens the log folder
- CTRL + O : Starts current game
OutGauge (LFS, BeamNg) now binds to any IP instead of being restricted to 127.0.0.1 (local computer)
Fixed “save opened dashboards” locking simhub exit (and dash studio options saving).
Fixed a memory leak occurring when enabling VJoy output option in the control mapper while VJoy is not installed on the computer.
Changed extension of all logging files from .log to .txt to make it easier to open.
Reworked the watchdog traces to make them easier to open (pure developer convenience :D)
Updated most of the SimHub libraries dependencies : Log4Net, Xceed, AvalonDock,, asp.net core, Jint (Javascript engine library) ….

8.3.8 – 8.3.9 – 24/04/2023

Fix : Control mapper/Controllers input plugin : Reading the controller buttons/pov count could create interference with Wheel FFB, any references of it has been removed.
During the previous bug hunt, the controllers input plugin has been mostly rewritten, as a bonus it’s now possible to control which controller simhub will connect to.
Fix : Dashstudio web engine would not load properly dashs and widgets with special characters in the file name.
Fix : In Simulight plugin it was not possible anymore to edit adalight led layout.
Cleanup : Another wave of unused dlls has been removed from the installer, This hopefully should be the last one thanks to an huge internal rework of Simhub dependencies management. As a result to all the recent work about installer size, it went from 240MB to 133MB, helping with download size as well as installation/update speed.
8.3.9 Hotfix : dashboards with spaces/special characters names would not load on USB devices.

8.3.7 – 13/04/2023

Fixed an issue with ATMega32U4 based arduinos not reconnecting after game switching
Fixed a false UDP conflict detection with ACC happening if the game was started before SimHub (The message was not affecting game data reading)
Spring cleaning : Make way ! Make way !
- Log tab can now be disabled/enabled in SimHub settings (fresh installs will get it disabled by default, on previous installs it can be disabled in settings)
- Additional plugins tab is now hidden if no plugins uses it
- Arduino plugin settings tabs have been reordered to give priority to RGB leds and matrixes which are the most used now.
- Removed some unused dlls
Dashstudio widgets
- Initial screen index can now be bound and allows to change dynamically the screen
- Screens roles and activation in widgets can now be enabled in the widget properties (EnableScreenRolesAndActivation)
Updated IT translation thanks to Marco G.

8.3.6 – 08/04/2023

Eh windows I need a bit more time to shutdown all those devices !

Fix : Windows was randomly closing SimHub prematurely when shutting down the computer. This was occasionally not giving the required time to SimHub to close and clear properly all devices currently running (leds displays …), SimHub will now ask to windows this required extra time.
In addition Simhub actual shutdown time has been improved by closing displays in parallel instead of one at a time. (Shutdown time can vary a lot depending of the enabled devices, current tasks running etc …)
Reworked some logging to make it a bit easier to read the logs.
Fix : Preventing a plugin UI crash to block SimHub loading (a message will show instead notifying the error)
Fix : Shakeit advanced output settings would not get saved sometime (Suspend settings, automatic restart etc …)
Fix : I got a couple of reports of Simucube 2 Pro FFB not working when things were started in a specific order (at windows startup for instance) I’ve not found yet any causes or been able to reproduce it, But It could be related to the wheel detection in the new Control Mapper plugin. As a safety measure :
- SC2 rim detection does not run anymore when the option is not checked. Detection when enabled will start after 5s and only if Truedrive is already running to make absolutely sure to not interfer with its startup.
- Stopped all the background routines running when the control mapper plugin is enabled but the output option is “Disabled” (which is the default out of box)
- As a double safety the plugin is not enabled anymore on fresh installs (if you don’t use and it’s enabled you can disable it in SimHub settings).

8.3.5 – 04/04/2023 – Hotfix

Fixed an issue I was tracking since a few days without success : default shake it bass shaker profile created on a fresh install were having effects not correctly initialized and were not outputting any sounds.
Fixed the new stream deck control mapper plugin not showing the selected input after reloading the editor : uninstall first the old plugin version using right click on the action in the stream deck software then reinstall it using simhub
Removed the new fixed TCP port (49876) for web API which seems to interfere with other services on some machines.

8.3.4 – 04/04/2023

Reworked installer :
- Arduino IDE is now installed on demand and not part anymore of the installer.
- USB displays drivers (USBD480, Vocore, AX206) can now be installed through installer (enabled by default). As installing these drivers is a long process they won’t be installed on updates, only on first install.
- Most installer dependencies (vc++ etc …) are now using proper silent install switches
- Monster games plugin (nascar heat …) is now downloaded “on demand”, some antiviruses being picky about it and not part anymore of the installer.
- The installer will now try to shutdown Simhub in a proper manner before installing.
- All the above work made the installer significantly slimmer with some positives side effects : Antivirus scan after download is significantly faster, actual installation is faster
Control mapper
- Control mapper <3 Stream deck : Added a stream deck plugin to allow triggering control mapper outputs from a stream deck device : https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki/Control-Mapper-plugin#stream-deck-integration
- Control mapper is now enabled by default on new installs.
USB Displays
- All usb displays (Vocore, USBD480 …) now have a framerate limit available according to their actual capabilities
- Improved framerate limiting algorythm
- Added contrast control
Fixes :
- Fix : ShakeIt wind could go above 100% of wind speed making actual wind speed overflowing and starting back from 0 (issue primarly visible in shakeIt wind when using manual max speed)
- Fix : Dashstudio widgets “initialscreenindex” was not taken into account on web engine (usb displays, browsers)
- Fix : Devices not allowed to be suspended (when screen is off) would still show a suspended state (primarily visible in remote desktop mode)
- Fix : Fixed a crash when using an USBD480 with builtin leds (SRH G-force LCD Pro) with a non led compatible device profile
- Fix : Dashboard repetitions were not initialized when switching dashboards using actions
Improvements :
- Serial port characteristics retrieving through WMI is now restricted to the essential properties, hopefully making simhub faster to load when a device is making WMI slow to respond.
- If an application is using already the same TCP port as SimHub internal server port (Fiddler …), simhub will peek automatically a new TCP port the the session, avoiding issues with usb screens.
- A new fixed TCP port (49876) has been added for API interactions between apps and SimHub (avoiding some extra settings to set the current port or failure is the TCP port has been changed through the settings).

8.3.3 – 26/03/2023 – Hotfix

Fix : Shakeit effect folders were removed from profiles while trying to automatically remove incompatible effects between bass shakers and motors.
Fix : Dashstudio buttons were not showing the pressed image when defined in HTML mode.
Feature : Reintroduced the UDP games conflict detailed detection , the conflicting app name will now be shown again (the feature was removed as an attempt to workaround Windows defender false positive detection).
The installer will now be delivered as an exe instead of a zip file. Size variation does not justify anymore to deliver it as a zip.

8.3.0 – 8.3.2 – 24/03/2023

Control remapper plugin :
- New “FN” virtual modifier allowing to use buttons/povs combos and virtually double the number of inputs of your controller https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki/Control-Mapper-plugin/#about-fn-feature
- Added wheel model detection for simucube allowing to create input profiles per wheel (optional), Huge thanks to Mika from Simucube for the information making it possible
- Reworked settings storage to be more future proof (all settings should be kept in most cases).
- Added some indications when a VJoy issue is detected about :
  - Target VJoy not available
  - VJoy already used by another app
  - Button count mismatch vs the 128 recommended buttons.
Ambient lights plugin :
- Added support for “Razer chroma” compatible govee lights offering a wide selection of leds devices : https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki/Ambient-lights#govee-lights
- Improved UX of light devices area placement :
  - New placement grid
  - Area focus to move it easily
  - Devices area groups (for multiple leds devices)
- Performances optimizations (less pixels are processed to get the average color)
- Reworked color processing settings :
  - Light/dark scene settings
  - Color correction,brightness and gray level mode are now per device
  - Improved minimum color handling to reduce blinking at low brightness
- Fixed a few errors showing in the log during resolution/screen mode changes etc … but not affecting the normal working mode.
- Added an option to turn off lights when monitor is off.
- Added a control input to freeze the current picture allowing to switch and make capture areas/ color correction adjustments much more easily
Inputs
- Joystick plugin now reads all controllers POVS instead of just the first one.
- Keyboard input plugin finally supports key modifiers combo (CTRL+xxx… ALT+xxx… SHIFT+xxx… CTRL + SHIFT + xxx…)
Shake It
- Wind
  - Reduced idling delay of HRS fans
  - Fixed an issue with drafting effecting ACC online and making the draft stop the fans;
- Bass shakers / motors :
  - Loading a profile coming from motors in bass shakers and the opposite would fail and bread the output settings, incompatible effects of the target mode are now removed during import.
Dash studio
- Added an option to choose the widget initial page at loading
- Dash studio automatic backups are now cleaned at SimHub startup instead of just when saving a dashboard.
- Better windows standard fonts cleaning in dashboards
Devices
- Added GSI Hyper P1 support
- Added GSI GTMax-32 support (needs a firmware update, which will be delivered through GSI control center)
- Added GSI Formula Pro Elite support (needs a firmware update, which will be delivered through GSI control center)
- Added AlphaTecRacing Dashboard Formula support
- Added power settings : All devices are now closed (shutdown) when the monitor goes to sleep.
- Added a “Device extension SDK” allowing to add a custom control panel to devices.
- Device defaults can now be overridden without getting overwritten by installer by adding a device settings file inside DeviceDefaults\Overrides folder
- AX206 Improvements
  - Added multiple AX206 support based on serial number (warning AX206 serial number seems based on manufacturing date and the needed could not be unique depending of the batches)
  - Added framerate limiting for AX206
  - AX206 physical disconnect is now detected instead of remaining connected.
Games
- Improved RF1/GTR2 disconnect status
- Improved UDP Games conflicts detection with other applications, the conflicting app is now indicated when possible allowing to solve more easily the conflict.
System infos
- Removed embedded “Open hardware monitor” component, unfortunately all variations of this component even the most recent contains some security breach rightly pointed by some antivirus.
- Added a few vitals information read directly by SimHub in replacement of “Open hardware monitor”
  - CPU load
  - Memory load
  - Property about the monitors state (ON/sleeping)
Other
- Workaround for .net framework serial ports releasing after physical disconnect keeping the serial ports visible in the system.
8.3.1 Hotfix : Antivirus were unusually aggressive toward the installer (even if false positives are usual with new versions) : changed the installer compression method and install order, everything seems quiet now … Antivirus hammer mysteries striked again.
8.3.2 Hotfix : Windows Defender was still randomly flagging the installer while not blaming any SimHub files once installed. As a workaround :
- The installer got updated the the latest innosetup version with a little face lift for the occasion.
- Removed UDP conflicts application name (conflicts will still be detected), it could have been triggering windows defender.
  - The installer got updated the the latest innosetup version with a little face lift for the occasion.
  - Removed UDP conflicts application name (conflicts will still be detected), it could have been triggering windows defender.
  - Windows defender seems quiet for now … until next false positive.

8.2.3 – 27/02/2023 – Hotfix

Fix : AC pitlimiter and revlimiter were mixed since previous release.
Fix : Some DashStudio buttons could catch a wrong pressed event when using desktop engine and dashboard was windowed.
Fix : Control mapper web interface was going back to top after each button press.
Feat : Added bashshaker idle mode : when not in game the audio interfaces will be stopped allowing computer sleep after an idle timer.
Fix : BassShakers “forget all disconnected outputs” feature was forgetting all audio outputs.
Fix : Multiple Vocore would not connect at SimHub launch and require unplugging/replugging the screen to get it connected
Fix : Ahead/Behing best lap time was lost on last update
New SimCore firmware exclusion from Arduino serial scan

Have fun !

8.2.2 – 17/02/2023

New control mapper plugin (Documentation : https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki/Control-Mapper-plugin)
- An alternative to various “Joy to joy” solutions already available, but primarily focused on wheels hot swapping, it allows to aggregate multiple wheels buttons / controllers to a single one allowing easy in game controller/wheel hot swapping.
- Many simple use cases :
  - Wheel hot swapping : no matter if you have two or ten wheels, diy or commercial , wheel swapping dream is often broken by in game mappings to be done again
  - Sequential shifter vs paddles ? you can have both ready to go.
  - Controllers limits ? ATS/ETS2 limits you to 4 controllers : one handbrake, one split shifter, one shifter, one wheel … No room available anymore for your button box or any fancy controller you might still have.
- Some key features :
  - “role name” based mapping, because most wheels have many buttons nowadays who can remember what does “button 1” or “button 42” ? It allows to quickly add a new wheel based on names instead of numbers.
  - Multiple virtual controller options available to fit as best as possible your existing setup :
    - Vjoy : as it is THE known software only solution for such cases, but it went so popular that it’s maybe already busy for another software, and adding multiple Vjoy controllers is not always handled fluently by all games.
    - Arduino Pro micro / leonardo bridge: just plug one of those arduino boards and after a two clicks flash process, benefit of a driver less and conflict less virtual controller.
  - A simple web interface accessible from your phone allows to do all your in game bindings avoiding tinkering with HIDHide and similar softwares to avoid double inputs.
  - SimHub internal actions bindings will use “roles” in priority allowing to bind actions independently of the actual device.

GT Sport/ GT7
- It’s now possible to configure the UDP receive port (to allow usage together with another application forwarding data or any UDP forwarder)
- It’s now possible to configure the Console IP (if somehow your network/firewall does not let broadcast UDP go through.
- Fixed low speed slip giving really high values (against walls etc …)
AC
- Added AC UDP API support for reading the TC and ABS active status.
Some improvements on valid lap checking (AMS2, PCars2)
Added support for the SimCore DDU line (DS1-S, DS5, UD2-J)
- DS5 and UD2-J requires a firmware update which will be available shortly here https://simcore.com.au/simcore-support/
Dashstudio buttons improvements (pressed state, pressed opacity)
Fix : When hot swapping vocore displays it would not reconnect sometimes.
Fixed RF2 opponents name special characters issues
Fixed VPG Pro led ordering as well as updated picture and defaut settings
Properties and data
- Added LapsToPlayer, LapsToLeader and speed to Ahead/Behind opponents data
- Added simulated blood pressure data for Heart sensor for easy chart.

8.0.0 – 8.0.1 – 29/05/2022

Warning : SimHub V8 contains some braking changes due to a major rework of DashStudio internal structure :

DashStudio Dashboards created with versions 7.X and prior will be automatically upgraded to the new file version. If you were using an older version and want to be able to rollback to versions 7.X make sure to do a backup first of your DashStudio dashboards contained in SimHub\DashTemplates folder.
Some malformed NCalc formulas are not supported anymore

If you wan’t to stay on SimHub version 7.X you can download the last version (7.4.23) here

After a few months of hard work it’s time for a big release !
This rework gets DashStudio editor closer to real life race dash editors (like Motec Display Creator), and gets the experience more in line to the designers “UX” standards like Visual Studio or similar. I sincerely hope you will like it !
For the occasion I thought that upgrading to “V8” was a nice symbol for a Sim Racing software !

Lets go for the change list !

- Shakeit motors and shake wind can share the same arduino as long as they are not using the same motor channels.
New small utility plugin : Serial port notifier, allows to show a little Toat message when a serial port is connected/disconnected from computer, making easier to know “what is what” when dealing with many arduinos, devices, etc ….
Controls mappings : others controls already in use for the assigned control are notified and can be deleted straight from the mapping picker dialog (currently it can’t detect dynamic controls like controls assigned in shakeit effects.)
Fixed led remap group only reordering 32 leds instead of 64
Fixed USB displays actions not working after a game change.
Fixed USB displays behaviour when computer is trying to shutdown, USB display processes will delay their process shutdown until SimHub closes them properly.
Improved usb display handling, if SimHub is “killed” (task manager, debugging with VS (when working with the plugin sdk for instance) , the child display processes will try to properly close and shutdown the displays as soon as the parent process (simhub) is lost.
USB displays “power off when game is not running”, will now use a more aggressive strategy, the display won’t even be connected
Improved Wind plugin handling of “paused” state, it will go back to the “idle wind” behaviour.

ETS2/ATS map now work on desktop (but unfortunately it has a really significant CPU footprint), using the ets2/ats maps on phones/browser remains the best option.
ETS2/ATS now supports “wheel rumble” effect when truck or trailers are going on rumble strips or grass.
Reworked the shakeit gear effect to get it more oriented on gear disengaging than gear engaging (which happens earlier in normal conditions)
Hunted memory leaks and shoot 3 :
- When changing game the resources where not properly released
- Latest version of openhardwaremonitor (included a few releases ago) contains a huge memory leak when polling data frequently (I patched the library to remove the leak)
- Some resources where not freed properly when polling for the current game process.
Dashstudio will now automatically skip frame when the previous one is not yet rendered, it should avoid some CPU overuse when heavy dash are running. It seems also to solve some internal WPF rendering locks which were occurring on multi GPU or after switching a game from exclusive fullscreen.
Fixed sound volume setting not working anymore.
Reworked Json settings save routine to automatically keep previous file versions and recover it in case it’s needed (hard reboot/ computer crash corrupting files)
Global simhub settings are now stored with all the other settings inside “pluginsdata” folder and using the previously described automatic recovery in case of corrupted file (previous version settings will be automatically migrated).
Reduced memory pressure of arduino rgb matrix module.
Added support for “TML the bus”
Added integrated system info conversion from °C to °F
Added a clear warning when trying to use the default system sound card in shakeit (except very specific cases this should be avoided)
Tweaked system info settings page to avoid some annoying hangs.
Support for the T-GT model in the thustmaster plugin
Have fun, happy Easter !

Improved Map online sharing selection to ensure submiting only useful track layout records.
Added a message to allow one click online track layout service activation. The feature was hidden in the settings before.

Little focus on the “online map service”
This feature has been introduced earlier as experimental, it aggregates hundreds of track records by strictly selecting them and rejecting any suspicious one. By this way it allows to generate really precise track layouts which can hardly be reproduced by a single person even when doing a lap with lot of care.

Example of F12020 Paul ricard generated layout :

Example of Iracing charlotte 2018 Oval

Added simhub version as a property and version comparison methods.
Season Greetings and happy new year !

7.3.1 – 19/12/2020

Introducing the vocore screen ! A 4″ high resolution USB display for your sim racing hardware creations !
I also took the opportunity of this release to write you a choice guide
Added brake bias correction values for latest ACC cars
Arduino setup tool :
- Added clear security tips about arduino firmware upload to the setup tool and an acknowledgment step before upload.
- Added hard coded upload security lock to prevent uploading to an arduino already running SMC3 based firmware (Lot of arduino based motion platforms uses this firmware).

I had feedback about few people having overwritten inadvertently their Arduino based device firmware (motion, button box …) with the Simhub arduino setup tool.
Let’s explain how such mistake is possible : an arduino being an arduino, it’s made by design to be easily overwritten with a new firmware . Since the affected devices have not been write protected by their respective manufacturer (by removing/disabling the arduino bootloader), it was extremely easy to overwrite the firmware by mistake by choosing the wrong serial port before upload.
That said, nobody has interest into getting these device’s firmware overwritten. However, since these devices have no particular characteristics allowing to recognize them, only clear prevention instructions about how to avoid firmware overwrite on a random Arduino based device can prevent it. And that’s the purpose of the two Arduino setup tool features added with this release, which I hope will be clear enough to reduce such mistakes.

Arduino breaking changes : Starting from Simhub version 7.2.0 compatibility with obsolete sketches is removed (built before simhub 6.6). If your arduino device still use it, please update your arduino sketch or you can download the last version supporting it here

Unfortunately no dirt 5 compatibility for this release as telemetry is missing from the game. If you want to see telemetry back, you can friendly suggest it to the Dirt 5 development team using the form linked on this page : https://forums.codemasters.com/topic/63507-dirt-5-submit-your-feedbackbugsissues-here/

Arduino :
- Added RGB matrix support (both DM163 aka iFlag and WS2812B)
  - Gear display
  - Cross games Flags display
  - Spotter for games giving opponents data and Iracing
- Made arduino/multiple arduino connection much faster.
- Improved RGB leds communication speed when sending large area of the same color.

Breaking changes, in order to improve arduino connection speed and make code simpler for future updates, some old compatibility has been removed :
- Removed compatibility with sketchs created with SimHub versions prior to 6.6. If you are still running an old sketch make sure to upload again.
- After more than one year of back compatibility maintenance the old led editor takes his retirement and has been finally removed.
