Simulator Controller with AI-based virtual assistants (race engineer and race strategist)

Release 6.8.5 and 6.8.6 (02/06/26)

The release of this week and that of last week include many important fixes, for example for the Spotter, who no longer reports slower cars as being faster in average after a pitstop. Beside that, the calculation of gap times and standings has seen a major overhaul, after we realized that the LMU API reports cars which are in the entry list, but which are not connected to the session.

Release 6.8.7 (02/13/26)



With this release, we're bringing the long-awaited native support for Polish in voice interaction with the Assistants. Thanks to @Przem Lis DTM, all grammars have been translated, and the command reference documentation is also available in Polish. A translation of the user interface is still on our wish list for a future release.

As always, there are also minor other improvements. Details can be found in the Release Notes.

Relase 6.8.8

This time we have significants improvement for the strategy subsystem. Concrete tyre wear data of recent sessions can be used during strategy development to predict stint length, especially for races with a restricted number of tyres. There will be an online session, where I demonstrate the new functionalities on the upcoming Monday evening in our Discord.

Beside that it has become more intuitiv to prepare a race using "Race Settings" for all of you who are not using the more complex settings system in "Session Database".

Release 6.9.0

With this release, we start the implementation for the EA F1 series. Still pretty much a construction site yet and it is required to run Simulator Controller on a separate PC due to the Javelin AntiCheat software, but the next releases will bring more and more functionality to the table.

Beside that, all new cars and track updates of the latest Le Mans Ultimate release as well as several important fixes are included.

Release 6.9.1

The implementation of F1 25 is done, documentation has been added and all tests have passed. However, Javelin is still complaining, so you have to run Simulator Controller on a second machine or in a virtual machine. The following video gives you a brief overview, how to set up a virtual machine to run Simulator Controller on the same machine as F1 25:

As side-effect of the F1 25 implementation, Simulator Controller can now connect to all games on a remote machine incl. consoles which support a UDP-type API. Beside that, we have new and updated car data for Automobilista 2 and many important bug fixes.

Release 6.9.2

We introduce support for the native Anthropic API with this release. This will enable Claude models to be used for Simulator Controller. Claude Haiku is great for rephrasing and general conversation, whereas Claude Opus will shine as backend for the Driving Coach and for complex strategy decisions.
