Havner submitted a new resource:

Hardware Steering Lock (SimHub plugin) - Automatic hardware steering lock set depending on the car you drive

Simple SimHub plugin for setting wheel rotation based on ACC car

ACC doesn't have a soft lock option. This plugin allows to use hard lock option with 1:1 steering ratio. The same way Content Manager does that.

Currently it works for:

MMOs

all SimuCUBEs (1, 2S, 2P, 2U)

Thrustmasters (300, 500, TGT, TMX, TSPC, TSXW, TX, F1)

Instalation

Put the plugin in SimHub folder. Enable it in SimHub.

Havner updated Hardware Steering Lock (SimHub plugin) with a new update entry:

0.2 released

Small bug fix that tries to detect the wheel also after SimHub has already started, so you can turn on your wheel when SimHub is already running.

Do you think this plugin would work with the Leo Bodnar SimSteering 2 DD Wheel?

Havner · Jan 31, 2021

As it is right now it will not. If there is a way to limit rotation angle of SS2 programmatically it could be added, but I don't know that. Someone would need to ask their support for SDK/API to do that.

Ok thanks for your quick reply

It works very well with my TS-PC Racer, but only in normal mode. Is it possible to activate the function for the extended mode?

Please explain to me what is normal and extended mode. I don't own any TS hardware. The TS implementation is based on Content Manager so it should work in the same way CM does. It would also be helpful for you to explain this based on how well CM and original AC works with your hardware regarding to hard lock.

no way this works on G27? really cool plugin!

Havner · Jun 3, 2021

In the current version it doesn't, but as G27 is supported in the Content Manager it probably could be supported here as well. The implementation is kinda magic though and I'm not really proficient in C#. If anyone is I can point to the implementation and tell what needs to be done. Then I'll gladly accept patches. The project is open source.

Content Manager has this functionality builtin. Have a look there. It will allow you to do that.

Is this only working for Thrustmaster wheels?

The project is open source, you can easily make it AC compatible. I don't have such plans. CM should support TS-PC. If my project does CM should as well as my code is based on theirs (literally, my code for thrustmasters is taken directly from Content Manager). If it doesn't work for you I'd suggest reporting a bug or asking for help with CM.

I had a user reporting above that TS-PC does not work with my plugin in advanced mode. I had another one on the ACC forums saying the same. And this is probably the same issue you are experiencing with CM. Bad information is that it will not work with my plugin as well. Good information is that we can make it work and then you can take this info to the author of CM and ask him to fix it as well.

Do you have ACC? Could you test it with TSPC and tell me the output of simhub in normal and advanced mode?

Like I said previously , the plugin works perfectly in ACC, when I tested it I was in advanced mode, no problems there
