    Game Dash can control many different types of hardware from real world gauges to LEDs to wind simulation and tactile vibration motors. Game Dash is highly configurable and you need to learn how to use it for whatever hardware you intend running and thus far you have not even explained what that hardware is.

    If you can give some detail about what you are trying to do then perhaps some other members can help out.

    It used to be possible with Webdash for SimTools 1.3, which is still listed for download, but I have checked with @yobuddy and @RaceRay and it looks like it should have been depreciated and taken down.

    So best to look at alternatives as @Historiker suggested.

    Thanks noorbeast, I notice that the link you provided me is for creating plugins what I was thinking to used is an API for Game Dash.

    FYI:
    API stands for Application Programming Interface. (API) is a set of programming instructions and standards for accessing a software application like Simtool Game Dash.

    I still would like to display Speed, RPM, Oil pressure, Temp, Fuel level, Tire pressure, Lap time, Position on the race, etc... on a computer monitor

    Let me know if GameDash has an API or maybe can display all that ?

    Thanks.

    The SimTools dev @yobuddy has been adding to the linked API doc as and when he can, for example:

    GameDash - Dash Board Support
    _Enable_DashBoard = False - Set to ‘True’ to enable the Dashboard Output System.
    (Basic Dash Support should include - SPEED, RPM and GEAR)
    Once enabled, you may assign up to 20 Dash output variables.

    ~ Examples~
    Assign the dash output variable as follows:
    Dash_1_Output = "Speed," & OUTPUT_VALUE_HERE.
    Dash_2_Output = "Rpm," & OUTPUT_VALUE_HERE

    Hi - I recently had to reinstall Sim Tools on my C Drive to get it to work with Elite Dangerous, so I reinstalled Game Dash at the same time - it works with Assetto Corsa just fine, but it won't recognise Project Cars 2 is running at all. Has anyone got any ideas? Sim Tools works fine with PC2 so shared memory is enabled fine - is there anything else I can try???

    SimTools won't detect the game running or Game Dash buddy?
    Game Patched with the newest plugin for the game?
    Take care,

    Hiya... I forgot to say this was all working ok before I had to reinstall Sim Tools... I can try repatching PC 2 though anyway... Sim Tools is recognising PC2, but Game Dash doesn't... I've checked that Game Manager has the game dash option switched on too...
