How To Automatically Change Dashboards Based on the Car You're Driving in Sim Racing

For sim racing enthusiasts, having your steering wheel or display unit automatically switch dashboards based on the car you’re driving is a game-changer. Whether you’re using a wheel from Rexing , GSI , or Cube Controls , the convenience of seamless dashboard transitions enhances your racing experience. Setting this up in SimHub is easy thanks to the Car Playlist feature, which automates dashboard changes based on the car you're driving. Here's a quick guide to getting started.

Steps to Set Up Automatic Dashboard Switching in SimHub

1. Update SimHub

• Ensure you have the latest version of SimHub installed.
• SimHub supports various steering wheels, including those from:
  • Rexing
  • GSI (Gomez Sim Racing)
  • Cube Controls
  • Sim Precision Engineering
  • SimCore

2. Open SimHub and Locate Your Device

• Open SimHub and navigate to the Devices tab.
• Find your device (wheel or DDU) in the list.
• Supported wheels include:
  • Rexing steering wheels
  • GSI wheels
  • SimCore display units
  • Other compatible devices

3. Locate the 'Per Car Playlist'

• Scroll down to find the "Per Car Playlist" for iRacing or other sim racing platforms.
• If your playlist is empty, don’t worry—you’ll be adding cars shortly.

4. Add a Car Playlist

• Click the blue "Add Car Playlist" button.
• A list of unassigned cars will appear.
• If your car doesn’t show up, launch a session with that car while SimHub is running.

5. Assign Dashboards to Cars

• You’ll see two columns:
  • Playlist Dashboards
  • Available Dashboards
• Choose the car you want to assign a dashboard to.
• Click the green plus sign (+) to add a dashboard to the car’s playlist.

• Compatible dashboards work with wheels from:
  • Sim Precision Engineering
  • Cube Controls
  • GSI
  • Rexing
  • SimCore

6. Test and Enjoy
