Everything in the cockpit

Every value, the right render

A delta bar swings green and red. Gears recolour at the shift point. Tyres run a four-corner heat map. The G-force circle, the brake-bias split and the RPM shift light are built in. Below is a selection of the 15 value kinds, drawn by the plugin in the Porsche 911 GT3 R with the car’s own labels and colours — TC-LA in cyan, ABS in yellow, brake bias in red — over its recorded lap at the Salzburgring. Delta and tyre temperatures are demo values; fuel use is modelled.

Define a value once. Use it everywhere.

A parameter isn’t a key setting. It’s one object in a global library: build “TC” once and it carries where the data lives in each sim, how it renders, when it changes colour and what a press does. Put it on any key or dial, and a supported wheel’s LEDs and the MOZA dash can show it too.

Press + or −: one value, four places. The key and the dial are drawn by the plugin itself. The encoder ring and the dash are drawings of what it sends them.

Resolves

Pick “TC”, not each sim’s own property name. It resolves to each supported sim’s property behind the scenes, so one parameter works across them.

Renders

It knows what kind of value it is, so it picks its own instrument (a bar, a delta swing, a gear glyph, a heat map) and formats its own units and decimals.

Reacts

Thresholds recolour it. States give it labels, icons, blink and hold, and each state can carry its own press and long-press action.

Adapts

Override it per car: redline, delta range, fuel warning, labels, colours. One car gets TC1, TC2 and TC3; another just gets TC.

Drives

The parameter carries its controls with it. Put it on a key, a dial or a wheel button and the press goes along: swap TC for brake bias on that key and the key changes brake bias from then on, with nothing to bind again. Each control picks which of the parameter’s functions it fires — the dial steps it, a key sets it, the left paddle takes it down and the right takes it up. Underneath, the press reaches the game through SimHub’s control mapper, a keyboard shortcut, or SimDeckOS’s own virtual controller, whichever that game is bound to.

What a press can do

A key has a short press and a long press. A dial adds the turn, clockwise and counter-clockwise. A wheel’s paddles, funky-switch ways and rear buttons take the same actions from the same editor — so one control can carry several things without a mode to remember.

Control sets

Some commands aren’t one value’s actions — the pit limiter, the radio, the headlights. Name them once as a set and every control can fire them: a set of three fits a key, a dial or a seven-way funky switch, on every wheel and in every profile.

It starts things, too

A key or a wheel button can launch an app or a file, bring extras up with it, and close them again on a long press. When the rig goes idle the deck becomes a launchpad: the standby tiles start what you reach for before a session.

Past the game

The same press reaches the sim, your rig, SimHub itself and the Windows basics: the output device, the volume, the mic, the monitor’s brightness and the deck’s.

What the cockpit wears

The same value in every key style, the dials that carry it, the flags the sim raises and the icon set your keys draw from — four walls of the plugin’s own renders, tile for tile.

One value, 8 key styles

The same speed readout in every key style, from the Backlit Sticker to the data-dense Data Grid. A key style applies across your keys and dials.

On the dials, too

The Stream Deck + dials are live instruments. Turn the parameter dial to step through TC, ABS, engine map and brake bias; throttle and brake draw as live pedal traces.

Flags, live

Racing flags with their own artwork and blink, on a key the moment the sim shows one.

634 recolourable icons

One vector set for the controls you bind: DRS, ERS, brake bias, pit, diff, cameras and more. Each icon takes its key’s signal colour, so it matches your theme. Here is a slice of the library, recolouring live.

Plugin render throughout: keys, dials and icons drawn by SimDeckOS’s own renderer, live, on sample telemetry. Backlit Sticker and Cup Outline are free in the flat look. Premium opens all 8, with the premium finish.

The MOZA dash, run by SimDeckOS

SimDeckOS brings its own dash for the screen on a MOZA wheel and streams every value to it live through SimHub — the same parameters your keys and the wheel’s LEDs show, so a TC change on the deck reads the same on the glass. You import the dash file once; from then on SimDeckOS drives it.

Race, Focus, Stint

“Next screen” walks three time horizons: the race right now, the corner you are in with the gear filling the glass, and the next forty minutes of fuel, wear and pace.

The StreamLogic screens

Delta against your reference, the four corners, a radar and your inputs. They carry StreamLogic’s numbers, so they are part of Premium.

Pit and idle

The pit screen takes over by itself in the pit lane or on the limiter — your speed against the limit — and hands the glass back when you leave. With no session running, the dash shows the clock and your profile.

Dash render: our shipped dash file, drawn by our own tool on sample values. The wheel draws the same file with its own renderer and font, so the glass looks slightly different.

When no game is running

Between sessions the deck doesn’t go dark. It becomes a standby screen: the date, the time and the profile you last drove on the top row, a launcher for each of your sims on the bottom — one press starts the game and everything you set to open beside it. The strip plays the rig’s idle design; the built-in designs are free, your own are Premium.

Top row

Standby tiles: the date, the time, the profile you’re on and whether the deck is connected. Press the clock to switch between 24 and 12 hours.

Bottom row

Your launchers — here Assetto Corsa, ACC, Assetto Corsa Evo, and Le Mans Ultimate. A slot you haven’t filled shows the SimDeckOS mark.

The strip

The idle design runs across the whole touch strip, carrying the clock, the volume and the profile.

And the wheel goes with it

A supported wheel joins the same standby: its buttons, knob lamps and rev lights run the idle design the deck is running, in step with it — no second animation to set up.

Your devices and your sims

14 devices today: 8 Stream Deck models, plus Ulanzi D200, D200H, and D200X, PXN GT One, MOZA KS Pro, and Simagic GT Neo. Add one and it inherits everything you already built.

Telemetry by name: “TC”, “Delta” or “Fuel” resolve to each sim’s own properties behind the scenes. Profiles switch with the game and the car as you load into a session, on several devices at once.

• Assetto Corsa read + control
• Le Mans Ultimate read + control
• iRacing read + control
• Assetto Corsa Competizione read
• Assetto Corsa EVO read
• rFactor 2 read
• Automobilista 2 read
• RaceRoom read

SimDeckOS reads 8 sims with its own readers, and in 3 of them your keys send commands back. In other SimHub games, 74 of its 123 values fall back to SimHub’s own telemetry.

It ships with a ready-made parameter library, so the common values arrive mapped, coloured and named. Change any of them when you want to.
