    Hello Thomas

    I am the same guy who commented on the Paul Ricard video on YT.I have found that the FFB meter works correctly within Simhub environment but its a bit stuttering if you know what I mean.
    are you experiencing this as well? any idea how I could get it to show the FFB graph in a more smoother way?

    Do you have the paid version of Simhub? As I'm sure I've read the free version is rate limited.

    @nolive721 My FFB meter runs okay.
    Cant remember if you can adjust your "shared memory access" in the game?

    Yes I have the paid version of simhub

    I reckon my AMD Eyefimity triple screen and UW display on the same GPU acted a bit funky on recent drivers so that might cause problems with overlays

    will do some more troubleshooting later

    but thanks again for the feedback

    Have you tried running your simhub dash/overlays on a separate device?

    I have an old Nexus 7 as my "dash", ffb gauge is smooth enough with the free version of Simhub :blush:

    yes that will be my other attempt later today.
    I have tried everything I could think of like CPU OC, RF2 in windows and borderless mode, Simhub settings Performance Very fast, fast slow but no joy, its like very much stuttering to the point the FFB meter is not useful

    @nolive721 simhub works best with borderless. How are update speed on other overlays? like rpm, speed, timing etc.?

    Hello

    looks like it was a RAM issue. I fully shutdown Windows and restarted, launching Steam and SimHub only then the FFB meter and other overlays were running butter smooth.
    it made me realize how RF2 and Simhub combo are actually RAM hungry
    sorry again for messing around and thanks again for having shared this tool, its really of great help for me

    sometimes my rf2 uses 7gb other times only 4-5gb. Simhub is also processor consuming, and having 4-5 arduinos connected to it, including 7-8 overlays can be too much.

    System but its alpso true to say i see my GPU VRAM maxing out on quite few tracks
    I have the Game running at max graphics settings on a UW 1440P monitor though so that kind of makes sense

    I was going to say, a lot of the laser tracks take up tons of Vram. (I have a 12gb card coming soon, I hope) If you are maxing out system ram, that is something I haven't heard of lately. ((now back in the Intel 386 days...))

    Hello

    I have an AMD GPU, 6600Xt with 8gb of VRAM and on some tracks, again considering I am running full graphics at UW 1440p resolution, it gets very very close to fully used

    My problem with the FFB meter was really System RAM related. I don't shutdown my PC, use Windows sleep mode and when I was running RF" with this FFB meter testing, I had a bunch of EDGE and CHROME tabs opened in the background pumping up my RAM resources.

    On top of that, I am using an accelerated FUZEDRIVE, what AMD called Storemi, that accelerate data access for conventional HDDs where my Steam Games are stored. I also have the system RAM function activated in this HDD tiering that pumps another 2gb of RAM

    last but not least, I also have the SAM feature available for my AMD GPU activated

    so might not be common RF2 user scenario here for sure. I might consider to increase the 16gb system RAM in my system in the future if S397 still don't bring up a revamped HUD in Game built with FFB and Track map content
