Quick Start in 3 Steps

Zero upfront hardware required โ€” run SimOS using only software and a monitor.

1

Launch Companion

Download and run SimOS-Setup.exe on your sim PC. Starts the local WebSocket bridge at ws://localhost:8088.

2

Open Your Sim

Launch iRacing or your simulator. SimOS connects to shared memory automatically and begins 60Hz telemetry broadcasting.

3

Tune & Manage

Open /simos/admin to calibrate actuators, set stint rates, and manage driver queues.
