    SimHub has released a new version, adding support for Automobilista 2. Thought I would give it a try, seems to work well enough.

    Never thought to add overlays with it. Can this be done in VR?

    There is a simhub vr dashboard for rf2, that can be downloaded. I have no idea if it will work in automobilista 2, but then again the overlays I used were made for acc and they work well enough.

    You have to enable the settings in AMS2, have you done that? In SimHub click on Config Game at the top right...

    Can you link me to the one you shared originally? I really want to test the pedals etc. even if i have to do it in screen. I checked through a few of them but can't seem to find the one you shared above. Thanks in advance.

    Do you have to run AMS2 in windowed mode to have these overlays?

    Yes but Automobilista 2 window mode is borderless, so it looks the same as full screen.

    Think you first have to add -borderless in launch options.

    You don't need it if you select windowed mode in the in game settings.

    You can start both simhub and automobilista 2 at the same time using a bat file. I use a .exe myself but a .bat is easier to setup. You would just change the path to suit from the code below, save it as a .bat file somewhere on your pc. Put a shortcut on your desktop so you can add the default automobilista 2 icon, so it looks nice nice and your good to go.


    @echo off

    start /d "D:\Portables\SimHub" SimHubWPF.exe

    start /d "D:\Portables\Steam\steamapps\common\Automobilista 2" AMS2.exe

    What is the proper way to get simhub hud in AMS2 with Oculus SDK in VR ?
    AFAIK oculus supports native pinned overlay, but there is no borderless option, therefore the overlay appears with this ugly "pinned" borders.
    Any successfull workaround available ?
