The drivers will install now. Sometimes this can take longer than expected. This
usually means a system restore point is being made and should not hinder
installation.
If it does, unplug the USB cable to the wheel in case it is connected and try again.
Make sure you have administrator rights on your system.
Press ‘Finish’.

SimHub installation
To control the LEDs on the wheel, Simhub can be used.

Some changes on the side of SimHub mean this manual needs a version newer or
equal to 8.1.0 to match instructions.

Initial calibration
Before using the wheel, we recommend to walk through calibration of all paddles
found on the back of the wheel.
To make this an easier and more visual experience, let’s open the Windows Game
Controller program.
The quickest way to do this is to press the windows-key, type ‘Game Controller’ and
hit ‘enter’ on your keyboard. This will open the Windows Game Controller program.
Select ‘GRID 911 RSR’ from the list and press ‘Properties’ to access the
properties window.

Calibration Mode
The calibration is a very straightforward process, but first we need to enter the
Calibration Mode on the wheel itself. To activate the wheels’ calibration mode, Press
and Hold the ADJUST (A) button and CALIBRATION MODE (CM) button at the same
time. Keep doing so for at least 5 seconds, until you see BUTTON 1 flashing in the
calibration program. On the wheel itself, the far-left LED will start flashing (red).
Release both buttons when the wheel successfully entered Calibration Mode.
Calibration
Calibration is easy to do. Simply press and hold for about a second, release and
you’re done. After this has been done with both clutches and mono-arm, the wheels’
firmware has registered the minimum and maximum values for travel. Press the
Adjust (A) button a single time to exit the Calibration Mode.
While the Windows Game Controller program is still running, it is worthwhile to check
all buttons and encoders are working.
All buttons have one input, the front encoders have two (clockwise and anti-clock-
wise). The thumb encoders also have an additional push functionality. As for now
this windows program only shows you 32 button inputs on screen, don’t worry,
the wheel works fine. We hope this will be expanded with future windows-updates.

Clutch modes and bite-point adjustment
To make the most out of the dual clutches installed, they need to be set-up to your
liking and intended use.
Mode selection
We offer multiple modes for different uses. This can be changed on the fly on the
wheel itself. The three modes are:
• Dual-clutch: The 2 clutch paddles are working as 1 analog input. Left-side is the
adjustable bite-point clutch and the right-side clutch is the master.
Bite-point adjustment available ONLY in this mode.
• Analog: The 2 clutch paddles are working as 2 separate analog inputs.
• Switch: The 2 clutch paddles are working as a momentary switch.
To switch modes, Press and Hold the ADJUST (A) button and Press the mode of
your choice. (1) Dual-Clutch, (2) Analog, (3) Switch. Release both buttons after you
have made a selection.

Bite-point adjustment
Bite-point adjustment is available only in the DUAL-CLUTCH mode. If you are not
in this mode, please see the previous page how to switch to this mode. Also, it is
important that both paddles are calibrated before adjusting their behavior. Please see
Page 10 before following the steps on this page, if you have not calibrated your clutch
paddles already.
To adjust the bite-point, Press and Hold the ADJUST (A) button and the left clutch
paddle (LC) fully. Next, start by dialing in the bite-point roughly by using the Coarse
(C) adjustment knob, tweak using the Fine (F) adjustment knob.
The Coarse (C) adjustment adjusts in roughly 10% increments, while Fine (F) roughly
does 1% of adjustment. This way you can really dial in your clutches without
compromise.
To make it easier to adjust and know the (exact) percentage of the bite-point, there
is visual feedback (V) on the wheel itself. The RPM LEDs will show red (10% per LED)
while using the Coarse adjustment knob, green (1% per LED) while using the Fine
adjustment knob. You should also be able to see the changes update live, following
the steps on Page 9.

SimHub configuration
If you haven’t connected the wheel with the supplied USB cable to your computer,
this is required from this point forward.
Activation
To use the display with SimHub, it needs to be added as a device:
Press ‘Devices’ (1) and ‘Add device’ (2) when you see are adding a device for the first
time.

In the top-right part of the screen, check ‘Enable display’ (1). The icon should show up
in green and the ‘Connected’ indicator will appear just below it.
When more devices with a Vocore screen are connected to your PC, it doesn’t hurt
to rename them according to their product name in SimHub. Together with the
‘Connect to specific screen’ (2) option you always know what device you are
adjusting.
In the screenshot above we disabled touchscreen. This is enabled by default.
While on the device page for this screen you can very quickly scroll through
dashboards using the ‘Displayed dashboard’ dropdown (3). For more possibilities and
how to make your own awesome dashboards, navigate to ‘Dash Studio’ (4) or see
the SimHub documentation.
Next up, LEDs!

Changing the LEDs’ functions.
To change the LED effects you need to know their numbering to identify them on the
wheel. The following schematic shows the LED numbering for the available inputs
and RPM LEDs. The buttons and encoder knob LEDs consist of four very small but
powerful LEDs.
There should be enough info in the sample profile to be able to adjust to your liking.
Just keep in mind, you mostly need two values. The number of the LED where you
want an effect to start, and the amount of LEDs to use for said effect. Depending
on the location on the wheel, the numbering direction can change. The left row of
button LEDs uses anti-clockwise number while the right row is numbered clockwise.
It’s all in the details!
For further assistance and more information on effects, please see the SimHub
documentation.
