    Hi,

    Is it possible to have simtools and the HF8 seat running together, I'm testing in F1 2022 aa they both need to use the same telemetry port there is a conflict and if the HF8 software is running then Simtools crashes?
    Both work independently.

    Thanks

    Richard

    The v3 version of the F1 2022 plugin uses port 4123, and it also has a UDP relay so you can forward the data to another app if wanted. So you should just need to forward the data to the HF8 seat app on the port it uses and you will be good to go. (unless its port 4123 that is)

    Hi, thanks for the response, I have tried the relay, set it to 4124 and set the simhub with the same port but it still does not work, depending on which app I start first the second app complains..

    Quite a few people have this setup in the forums for different f1 games (as they are all udp based).
    Maybe someone will chime in with something I'm missing in simhub.
    I think simhub has a com port scanning feature you may need to turn off?

    For now thou, it would be worth trying to forwarding to ip 127.0.0.1 port 20777 from simtools, and then make sure simhub is using port 20777 (20777 is the games default port).
    Let me know how it goes buddy...
