A collection of SimRacing Software, primarily for Linux.
This collection serves to provide information, raise awareness of projects and allow users to find and setup games.
Contribution through issues and pull requests are welcome.
Wheels will be usually recognized as HID devices (and usable as a limb game controller), but FFB usuall requires a kernel module.
- hid-fanatecff (Fanatec CSL DD, DD Pro, Elite & further)
- hid-tmff2 (Thrustmaster T300, T248, TX and TS-XW)
- t150_driver (Thrustmaster T150 & TMX)
- new-lg4ff (Logitech WingMan, MOMO, DFGT, G25, G27, G29, G923-PS4)
- Linux Kernel 6.3 and up (Logitech G920 and G923-Xbox)
- Linux Kernel 6.15 and up (also 6.12.24+, 6.13.12+, 6.14.3+) comes with universal-pidff (Moza, Cammus, etc)
- OpenFFBoard
For further information of support for particular wheels, see linux-steering-wheels.
For setting Wheel rotation and Force Feedback Strength:
- oversteer (Logitech, Thrustmaster, Fanatec)
- boxflat (Moza)
- AccuforceV2Tool (AccuforceV2 recalibration)
Moza and Cammus android apps (should) work (they communicated directly with the wheelbase)
Creating virtual devices to merge/alter real devices (to work around compatibility issues etc):
Check out Peripherals Help for other help with Peripherals
Game and mod launchers:
Content Manager can be used with AssettoCorsa, see here
Simracing is unique with that most games and players require extra software for displaying extra information, driving other hardware and managing mods.
Displaying graphs from telemetry files
- acctelemetry (Reads MoTeC files, designed for ACC output)
Rendering Overlays and others
Get yelled at by Jeff
Taking the game telemetry to physical display, provide additional force feedback, etc. (often through Arduino's)
Software to help manage mods, setups, liveries, etc.
- acc-setupmanager (Simple Multiplatform Setup Manager) AUR
- acc_skinmanager (Livery utility, mainly for mass importing livieries)
- acc_csv2bop (For handling ACC bop.json files)
Besides the listed software, some Windows software maybe installed into the prefix, and may then still work. ToDo make list
For development of further tools
- protonfinder (rust crate for multiplattform abstracting finding user folders)
- simetry (rust crate implementing structs from a large numbers of sims)
- simapi (c headers for large number of sims)
To access shared memory maps from games it is necessary to deploy some piece of software into the prefix while the game is running.
There are numerous solutions and issues (I may make a blog post about it, eventually).
- Datalink: Wrapps around the proton launch command similar to Mangohud (so can be automatically launched with the game), utilizes a config file left in the prefix to define the memory maps, uses a fork of shm-bridge to back them to
/dev/shm, also notifies about game launch/shutdown on the session-dbus (AUR) - shm-bridge: Simple Rust programm that uses WinAPI to back the SharedMemoryPages for ACC into
/dev/shmand then sleep, allowing us to use regular shm to read- This fork allows passing in the name and size of the memory maps as parameters, making it universal
- wine-linux-shm-adapter: Rf2 and AC, but needs to be compiled for each memorymap individually (and deployed as such), and works by copying data constantly from the SharedMemoryMap into the shm file
- simshmbridge: Like wine-linux-shm-adapter (both from Spacefreak18), but for AC & ACC, or PCars2 & AMS2 (both have to be compiled seperatly), can be deployed with the game or seperate, and copy
/dev/shmmaps back into a SharedMemoryMap for a seperate wine prefix. - wineshm-go: Passes the unix filehandle through a unix socket to the go programm deploying it, unfortunatly doesn't actually work, the filehandle is dead when reaching go again
Most solutions need to be launched via protontricks after the game has started.
Known Issues with that:
- Game has to be launched first, as otherwise the game will get stuck in Launching...
- Steam state can get stuck on Running if the bridge is running when the game has already closed (steam force stop will also not work)
- Protontricks flatpak version does not work (error msg), use the version from your packagemanager
