Universal SimHub Dash - Generally-applicable SimHub dash for various sims

This is a generic SimHub dashboard/overlay which can be used with a variety of cars, including those with hybrid drivetrains or DRS. It is obviously inspired by the HUD elements in Assetto Corsa Competizione but includes features tailored to several different simulators. Currently, it has been tested in each of the following sims:

• Assetto Corsa (primary use)
• Assetto Corsa Competizione
• Automobilista
• BeamNG.drive
• RaceRoom...

Ever since I posted this thing I've been obsessively working on tying it more closely to other sims and generally improving how it works. Expect an update later this weekend with many new goodies.

zerobandwidth updated Universal SimHub Dash with a new update entry:

ENHANCE!

I've spent far too much of the last few days going through the various sims other than AC (where the dashboard was originally developed) and tying all the various features of those sims into the dashboard. It's had the added benefit of getting me to play a bunch of sims that I hadn't touched in a while.

The overlay now supports every bit of information I could glean from the data in ACC, AMS1, BeamNG.drive, rFactor 2, and R3E. Every sim has its own funky way of doing things, and the...

Hi, thanks for the dash, it's great. I use it as part of my dash regularly.
I've noticed a couple or errors in the logs though. I've attached the log file.

oooooo, that's interesting... I didn't think to pre-check for null values because I assumed they'd just fall through the logic. I should be able to fix this for my next update. Thanks, and enjoy!

zerobandwidth updated Universal SimHub Dash with a new update entry:

UPDATE

I've actually been using this update on-stream for a long while now, and it's about time I stopped being lazy and uploaded it for everyone else.

The logic that drives all of the dashboard elements has been moved to its own JavaScript file so that it can be used by other dashboards that want to have similar features. This seems to have already fixed the errors that @TNTPro reported in the forums earlier this week. (At least, I started up the dash and didn't see the...

Sorry, I'm not very good with computers, I have loaded this in sim hub as an overlay following your instructions, I don't know how to turn it into a dash? I right clicked and pressed ' turn into a dashboard' but it doesn't appear in the list or anything~?!

Hi,
Sorry to say that errors are still appearing.

 

[TNTPro]

Is this dash still being updated?

 

[zerobandwidth]

Is this dash still being updated?

Yes. I looked again at the log file you attached and it appears that the JavascriptExtensions\zbwDashCalcs.js file is not installed correctly. Did you copy all three folders from the archive into your SimHub directory as instructed?

 

[TNTPro]

Hi. Yes I have copied all three folders correctly. I have noticed that the errors are not appearing when I'm using either Assetto sim or rFactor2, but they are appearing when using either pCars 1 and 2 or rFactor(1)

The dashboard is not tested with Project CARS or rF1. The list of sims that I have tested is on the front page. I cannot guarantee functionality with sims that I haven't tested (and can almost guarantee it will be broken.)

zerobandwidth updated Universal SimHub Dash with a new update entry:

UPDATE: Because I guess I should?

• added pedal display
• added lap counter since last pit
• added damage indications for RaceRoom and rFactor 2
• changed hybrid deployment/recovery display for AC
• added penalties display for rFactor 2
• added incident points display for RaceRoom
• added support for a relative timing overlay
• standardized display of game state
• probably some other stuff I haven't kept track of

For a demo just watch...

LE MANS ULTIMATE COMPATIBILITY

There isn't any, yet, really. It only sort-of half-works.
I intend to rework the entire JavaScript library that drives the dashboard so that it's more efficient and cares less about which game you're playing. This should help it work better with LMU and also with other games for which the dashboard is not specifically built (by giving it a "default" implementation to fall back on).
You've been warned, your mileage will vary, use with caution, etc.

 

[zerobandwidth]

I stayed up entirely too late working on this last night, but the good news is, the new JavaScript library is working well, and I successfully added LMU support. Expect an update this weekend after some more testing.

Well... white flags for last laps are only used in the United States... all other racing series (that i know of... mostly because they follow fia rules for flags) use it for 'slow moving vehicle on track'.

Yeah, that's fair, but you know me, I'm an unashamed Murrican, so I use it for final lap.

UPDATE: Various Fixes

I actually wasn't even keeping notes about the things I was trying to fix, but the highlights that I do remember for this update include:

• Fixed fuel calculation algorithms in the v2.0 JavaScript library
• Fixed "Laps Remaining" algorithms in the v2.0 JavaScript library
• Added a "time elapsed" in BeamNG mode.
• Probably some other fixes too.

I'm actually considering uploading the project to GitHub just so I can keep better track of its changes and issues, but I would...

Hi everyone! There have been some significant updates to SimHub lately, which have allowed better access to certain attributes during gameplay, so I'll have an update out "soon" (definitely before year-end haha). So far, here's what I've found:

* ABS and TC lights will be fully supported in BeamNG.drive.
* ABS and TC lights will *probably* be fully supported in rFactor 2 and LMU.
* I also really want to get the stint lap counter working again.

Stay tuned!
