SIMRIG Control Center

Version 1.73.11

2026-10-01

This is a large release. It adds support for new belt tensioner hardware, reworks the profile editor and Auto-Tune, and rebuilds the effects engine and the internal threading model for smoother motion and better stability.

Hardware

• Adds belt tensioner support: profiles with their own axis allocation, rumble effects, a smoothing filter, a tension limiter, and a guided Set Belt Tension setup
• Turning forces can be applied to both belts equally instead of to the outer belt
• The motion system and the belt tensioner can be paused and resumed separately, also by hotkey
• Device position updates can now be sent every 3 ms (previously 7 ms) for smoother motion
• Rumble effects can be rendered by the device itself on supported hardware for higher fidelity
• Adds device selection to the Devices page
• Motion is no longer disabled on hardware errors
• The Belt Tensioner tab introduces the hardware to those who do not have one yet; the card can be dismissed

Profiles and effects

• Large rework of the profile page and its editors, with a new dual layout
• Adds separate feedback sliders for up shifts and down shifts
• Adds presets to the response curve editor
• Adds an impact detector effect for the belt tensioner
• Profiles can now be nested, and activation explains why a profile cannot be applied
• Auto-Tune now runs in the background for the vehicle being driven, on every page and whatever profile the editor shows; it used to record only while the Profiles page showed the active profile
• Auto-Tune settles in two to three minutes of driving instead of ten or more, and no longer disturbs a good preset or a pre-tuned profile
• Auto-Tune recordings are kept per profile across restarts and follow a duplicated profile; profiles that were merely looked at no longer leave files behind
• Auto-Tune presets have been updated, and the profile uploads they are made from no longer include the names users give their profiles
• The Experimental section of the profile editor is shown on the alpha and beta update branches
• Various smaller fixes and larger restructures underneath to the effects engine

Games

• Adds support for Bus Bound

Stability

• Device communication and effects now run on a dedicated thread such that a busy UI can no longer interrupt motion, and vice versa
• Hotkey device discovery moves to a background thread which fixes a freeze followed by a crash when a misbehaving USB device stalled Windows device enumeration
• Fixes hotkey device discovery running over and over when no hotkeys are bound
• Hotkeys now trigger only one action per press
• Adds a button to unbind all hotkeys
• A large internal rework removes locks from all real-time paths which fixes several rare freezes and deadlocks
• Program exit is faster and more reliable, even with misbehaving devices
• A 10 second timeout is now enforced on exit; the program is guaranteed to quit eventually
• Crash dumps are now always enabled, and freeze reports identify the correct thread
• Unusually slow internal calls and lost hotkey devices are now visible in the log

Version 1.39.21

2022-08-06

This release greatly improves our console support. It adds multiple console games and a new feature to select which console game to run. Multiple changes are made behind the scene to improve stability and compatibility with Windows 11. It also introduces a fully automatic auto-tune.

The fully automatic method for adjusting Forces is the new default. The automatic method runs Auto-Tune in the background. The Auto-Tune results are slowly applied over time. It takes five minutes of driving before the first change is applied. Then new changes are applied gradually every minute. It should reach good values after ten minutes of driving. After one hour of driving the automatic method is complete and no further changes are applied. Use Axis allocation to control the amount of motion along each axis. This has always been the intention. But it is now more clear.

Console users get a new dialog for manually selecting which game they are running. This also includes a setup wizard for new users where they are prompted to enter their consoles IP address when required. PC users can also benefit from this dialog by forcing SIMRIG Control Center to receive telemetry using a specific protocol.

Changes

Version 1.38.8

2022-07-22

Some games produce a noticeable pitch motion on gear changes even with Gear change force retention enabled. This is caused by a delay in the game; where the game engages the next gear without telling SIMRIG Control Center until after the fact. To combat this a new Gear Up hotkey is introduced. Bind this hotkey to the gear up leaver on your wheel (the same leaver used by the game.) This way the same input is sent to both the game and to SIMRIG Control Center simultaneously. Giving our software a much higher chance of catching the gear change in time to reduce the pitch motion. With the Gear Up hotkey bound there should be a notice improvement in the F1 games; with greatly reduced pitch motion on gear change.

Changes

• Greatly reduced pitch motion on gear change with the introduction of a Gear Up hotkey

Version 1.38.7

2022-07-08

• Fixes issue with ignored rig geometry settings for VR motion cancellation
• Adds extrapolation for VR motion cancellation -- reduced lag
• Moves interpolation into the VR driver for smoother results -- per frame interpolation
• Removes rotation compensation -- only translation is taken into account

Notice

If you've tried VR motion cancellation before but without success this issue was hopefully the cause. Correct rig geometry is paramount for motion cancellation to function. Prior to this fix all changes to the rig geometry were ignored causing motion cancellation to work poorly, if at all.

The rig geomentry settings now use the center of the head (your ear) as reference. Prior to this change the eyes were used as reference. You will need change your settings to account for this change.

The added extrapolation makes the VR motion cancellation react faster to changes in rig position.

Version 1.22.10

Notice

To configure a custom UDP port for F1 2019 open settings.xml and add:

<TelemetrySource Source="F1_2019" Port="123456" />

To use a custom port while sending the UDP telemetry to another device or program:

<TelemetrySource Source="F1_2019" Port="123456">
	<Passthrough Enable="true" Port="3333" Address="127.0.0.1" />
</TelemetrySource>

UDP passthrough allows multiple programs or devices to use the same telemetry data. SIMRIG Control Center can receive the telemetry and then pass it on to another program or device. You can have one passthrough configured per game.

2020-01-13

• Update downloads are now much smaller (around 2% of previous size!)
• Removes all experimental settings (none worked as expected)
• Adds an option to reduce pitch responsiveness while driving slowly

Notice

Some cars are very jerky in low gear and at slow speed. This is especially noticeable in iRacing with anti-stall clutch disabled. This patch adds an option to apply a low-pass filter while the car is driving slowly. The low-pass filter only applies to the pitch axis when driving slower than 50 kph (~31 mph.) It also has the added benefit of smoothing out the jerk caused by abruptly stopping the car; unrealistic maybe, but very convenient.

Version 1.14.1

2019-12-29

• Fixes a divide by zero issue (that would crash the program)

Version 1.14.0

2019-12-21

• Adds a second axis allocation mode with one slider per axis
• Adds support for Automobilista -- plugin required
• Fixes an issue that would leave responsiveness at 0% after device reset
• Load Estimator now shows load distribution in percent

Notice

The new axis allocation mode allows for finer control. Each axis is given its own slider; and pitch is given two. One for forwards and one for backwards. Making it possible to have the SR1 pitch forwards a lot while braking but retaining a modest backwards pitch while accelerating.

Previously, you could choose between "More pitch" or "More roll", now you can have both. However, there is only a limited amount of physical travel available to each actuator. If both pitch and roll are given 100% there is a large chance of clipping. Clipping occurs when the motion signal is larger than the actuator's range of motion; causing the actuator to stay at one end position until the signal falls in amplitude.

Automobilista requires a plugin. See documentation for details.
