Content manager and Simhub: can they live together?

[maxilogan]

Hello everybody, I am building a dashboard for my T300 using a vocore screen and I plan to use Simhub to drive the display. I already tried it and it seems to work but I have to select every time which screen in which to show the data, and Simhub wants to start the vanilla version of AC.

Is there any way to start Simhub along with content manager, and have it show immediately a specific dashboard? For what is worth (I know the differences are mainly in the display FPS) I'm still using the free version of Simhub.

Any hint on how to let the two softwares live together?

Hi Omar,

I can answer a bit of this. I use Simhub with an old tablet as a dash.

I have a batch file that launches my sim stuff like this:

echo This will Start CrewChief, Steam and SimHub.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\SimHub\SimHubWPF.exe"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Britton IT Ltd\CrewChiefV4\CrewChiefV4.exe"

You could add Content Manager to this too.

Simhub just sits and waits for a game to launch then connects up. On the tablet I always have to select which dash I want, not sure if a Vocore screen would be the same.

Hope this helps,

Tony

Simhub works flawlessly with Content Manager, I just direct it to my CM location.

Thanks Tony, actually this is a good solution as well, maybe coupled with the one highlighted below, as I always forget to launch Crew Chief when starting CM
Will you be in the club race this evening? didn't see your name on S.gp participant's list..

No not today, I've changed my PC and it's not running quite right yet! Took me 2 days to actually get any laps at all without AC crashing!

I don't think you have to launch your games from SimHub. At least here with my shakers, events, etc. I just leave Simhub running on the background and then launch Content Manager from my Windows shortcut.
