    Hi noorbeast ,

    I had seen this solution
    but I have to change the UDP port in simtools ... is it possible?
    Is compatible with games other than Codemaster?

    We could probably drive the SimHub DashBoard strait from the GameDash app if we knew how to communicate with it.
    You seen any instructions around?

    it looks like it runs from an Arduino?
    If so, we could just look at the sketch to learn how to drive it from GameDash i believe?

    yes it runs from arduino and it runs with its own app. and now that i remembered that he can run racingmats gear indicator with his sketch probably we can run it with simtools

    I excluded my com port in SimHubWPF.exe as you said and now it works fine without problems.
    I can already use both programs together.

    Thanks insanegr and yobuddy :cheers

    I read this thread carefully and thank Insanegr for his suggestion. I want to try to adopt the solution that he suggested, but as far as I see other users have tried it and it works. In my case, however, the problem is even more complex. In these days I tried to make simtools, simhub and sim dashboard live together (https://www.stryder-it.de/simdashboard/la). The computer often has freezing and often crashes. The other day it is completely blocked and I had to format and reinstall the s.o.
    Can anyone give me instructions to make these three software work simultaneously without interference? Precise that I use only two games overo Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally. I hope I have not polluted this thread with my question. If it was I'm sorry I'm creating a new thread. I await your support. Thanks

    Why not use SimTools, Game Vibe and Game Dash instead of conflicting programs. What is in your rig that SimTools can't provide?

    Hi noorbeast. In fact you're right! Simhub and sim dashboard are very simple and apart from the problem for which I asked for community support I feel good. I have the license simtools pro so I should have access to game vibe and game dash. Unfortunately, I have a very limited ability and knowledge and despite having tried to read how to configure the two applications I did not understand. Also there is no step by step tutorial. Add to this that the google translator does not always return the exact meaning, so it is not easy. Here very often there are many obvious things that for those who do not have great obvious knowledge are not. I understand this and I do not want to disturb the community with my constant requests. In fact I can only thank you all and thank you in particular, because it is only thanks to you that I managed to realize my two yes. If there was a step by step tutorial I would definitely use sim vibe and game dash.
    Unfortunately there are things that I can not understand how to do ... sime vibe and game dash are two of these.

    Do you know how to communicate with it?
    That is all we need really to get it working buddy.

    Hello youbuddy thanks for your support. You and Noorbest are guardian angels here ...,
    I use simhub shake it (https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/simhub-diy-sim-racing-dash.10252/) for the vibration of the motors and Sim Dashboard (https: //www.stryder-it .de / simdashboard /). I know, I know ... I could use game vibe and game dash, but I'd rather use these ...
    What I do not know what I have to do to make these two applications live with simtool.
    Here I read about the possibility of transmitting the telemetry to other applications https://www.stryder-it.de/simdashboard/help_udpforward.php and here I read the same thing https://github.com/zegreatclan/SimHub/wiki/SimHub- Basics ---- Games-config-and-troubleshooting
    Simtools uses IP 127.0.0.1 and port 4123. Simhub IP 12.0.0.1 and port 20777, Sim Dashboard IP 127.0.0.1 and port 20778.
    But what should I do what parameters I have to change for the two applications to work while I use simtools with Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally?

    Most games can only output to one IP : Port address.
    This is the reason for needing an all in one software package.

    However, codemaster games can output to multiple locations.
    But you are going to have to edit the hardware_settings_config.xml file by had to add the extra 2 outputs.
    (This will only work if apps don't try to patch things automatically, messing up this configuration.)

    You need to edit the "Documents\My Games\DiRT Rally\hardware_settings_config.xml" file.
    Patch the game with SimTools and then open the file and find this line.
    "<udp enabled="true" extradata="3" ip="127.0.0.1" port="4123" delay="1" />"

    what you want to do is copy it and add to more like this.
    <udp1 enabled="true" extradata="3" ip="12.0.0.1" port="20777" delay="10" />
    <udp2 enabled="true" extradata="3" ip="127.0.0.1" port="20778" delay="10" />
    You may have to patch with the other apps to figure out the extradata=? value and the needed delay=? value first.

    Anyway, that should work buddy.
    Take care,
    yobuddy

    Hi.
    I was able to run Dirt Rally and Dirt Rally 2.0 simultaneously on Simhub and Simtools.
    In F1 -2017 and F1 2018 only Simtools work if I turn on first.
    When I turn on Simhub an error message appears.
    If I turn on Simhub first it works and the simtools does not work.
    The door used is the same and gives conflict.
    Does anyone have any solutions for this?
