Everything on the deck
Instruments, alerts, automations, audio and navigation — a complete cockpit control layer, free and complete. Premium is for making it yours, plus StreamLogic, the pro data layer.
Every value, the right render
Delta swings green and red. Gears recolour at the shift point. Tyres run a four-corner heat map. RPM lights sweep the strip — each value picks the visual that actually fits it, on keys and dials.
One app, any sim — zero per-game setup
Telemetry-by-name resolves “TC”, “Delta” or “Fuel” to each game’s properties behind the scenes. Configure once, and profiles switch themselves per game and per car as you load into a session — across multiple decks at once.
StreamLogic — the pro telemetry layer
A VBOX-style live delta strip, predictive & reference-lap management, RPM/shift-light LED segments and a full data-screen suite — tyres, fuel, inputs and G — the numbers serious sim racers actually watch, mid-corner.
One system, every surface
The same value-aware engine drives keys, dials and the touch strip — in six layout families. All live, drawn by the real plugin renderer.
Layout families — one value, six looks
SD+ dials — parameter switch & pedal traces
Parameters
Define a value once. Use it everywhere, in every sim.
This is the part no other deck tool gives you. A parameter isn't a key setting — it's a portable object in a global library. Build “TC” once and it carries everything with it: where the data lives in each sim, how it renders, when it changes colour, what it does when you press it. Then drop it on any key or dial and it just works.
- 01 · Resolves
Pick “TC”, not Rf2.Physics.TractionControl. It resolves to each sim's own property behind the scenes — so the same parameter works in every title.
- 02 · 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.
- 03 · Reacts
Thresholds recolour it. States give it labels, icons, blink and hold — and each state can carry its own press and long-press action, so behaviour travels with the value.
- 04 · Adapts
Override it per car — redline, delta range, fuel warning, labels, colours. One car gets TC1/TC2/TC3; another just gets TC. The deck follows the car you load.
And it ships pre-wired — SimDeckOS comes with a ready-made parameter library, so the values you actually watch are mapped, coloured and named before you touch a thing.
Built like a workbench, not a settings screen
A photoreal preview of your actual deck sits at the centre of the app. Drag an element onto a key, edit it in the docked panel beside it, and watch it render exactly as the hardware will draw it.
Design once, reuse everywhere
A layout is a reusable, per-device design that lives in a shared library. Build your GT3 deck once, then reference it from every profile and game that needs it — fix it in one place, it fixes everywhere.
One base, per-car overrides
Start from a base design that works in any car, then layer per-car overrides on top — redline, delta range, fuel warning, labels and colours. One car gets TC1/TC2/TC3; another just gets TC.
Build without the hardware
Test mode makes the on-screen deck live: click a key to press it, hold for long-press, scroll a dial to rotate it — driving the real runtime with nothing plugged in. Demo mode cycles every key through its states.
Your deck, over the game
A topmost, click-through overlay mirrors your live deck on screen — glance at it without leaving the cockpit, or press it with the mouse when your hands are off the wheel.
Automations, as a node graph
Drag telemetry, event, action and logic nodes onto a canvas and wire them with AND/OR/NOT. Debounce and hysteresis stop the flapping, and a test-fire button proves the chain before you ever load a session.
A deck that never sits dead
Idle sweeps and ambient looks when no game is running, event cues that pulse the deck the moment a flag flies, and a standby control centre with clock, volume and screen brightness.
Free vs Premium
The whole cockpit is free — every instrument, every sim, automations and all. Premium is for making it yours, and for StreamLogic, the pro data layer.
