Simulator Controller - an AI-based suite of professional racing tools

Release 6.9.6

This release contains a very useful improvement for the "Setup Workbench" which now can analyze telemetry data for handling problems and recommend setup changes even after the end of a session. See the short video for a demonstration:

Release 6.9.9

After two technical releases with extensions to the rule engine, we finally introduce some new exciting stuff for the driver. The Engineer now will prevent tyre wear imbalance when it comes to a pitstop. For example, if one tyre on an axle needs to be changed due to excessive wear, the Engineer may decide to swap the second tyre as well to make sure the car shows balanced handling.

Release 7.0.0

Release 7.0 is here and it is huge:

First and foremost for you as a driver, this Release introduces the second part of the new tyre management. The Engineer can now handle multiple different tyre compound mixtures when it comes to pitstop planning. Depending on tyre wear rate, usable tyre life and the remaining number of laps in the next stint, he will pick the best of the available tyre compound mixtures for each wheel. Tyre wear data from the community, if available, may be used here as well (see below).

But that is not all, there are more important changes and additions:

- The community database comes with an all new storage format
- Tyre wear data can now be shared in the community
- Support for a new cloud service for speech synthesis and recognition
- Also support for a new GPT LLM service provider

Be sure to read the Release Notes and the Update Notes, because this Release includes a breaking change, for which you have to update some of your settings in the "Session Database".

Release 7.0.1

The Release of this week is focused on the Driving Coach:

- Several bugs has been fixed.
- Available reference laps from the community can now be loaded automatically and must not be assigned manually by name.
- A lot of new analytical data for the corner performance if provided to the LLM, thereby enabling high end models like GPT 5.5 to come up with even more useful instructions.

Here is a short example with a coaching session using GPT 5.5 (coaching starts around minute 4:00):

Hello,

I have added support for LMU in my suite of AI-based tools for Sim Racing. This collection of tools support you in the setup development, can simulate strategies and support you during team races with remote car control, strategy adjustment and full telemetry access. In solo races you get support from a virtual AI-based crew, an Engineer, a Strategist a Spotter and a Coach, which has full access to your performance data and setup related handling issues.

A beta version for LMU is already available, the final version will be released Friday.

But: The data integration for LMU still lacks a lot of the possible functionality due to the fact, that the data support of LMU is still a bit restricted, compared to rFactor 2. You can take a look at the release notes for the details.

Below you can find a link to the release download section for the suite.

If you want to play with the beta version and can't wait for Friday, use this link:

Dropbox - File Deleted - Simplify your life

One last word: This suite is extremely capable, but also quite complex. It will take some time to install, configure and master...

Yes, you are right, the first days can be very challenging. This is not a simple app, more like a development environment for your personal pit crew.

If you need a helping hand, contact me on our Discord.
 
Release 7.1.0

- Support for a new language arrived this week. Russian can now be used for the UI and of course also to communicate with the Assistants.
- And timings for invalid laps are now grayed out in lap lists in "Solo Center" and "Team Center".
- Lastly, some important bug fixes are also included.

Release 7.1.1

Two major additions this week:
  • Suspension related issues like bottoming out or swaying can now be handled by the "Setup Workbench".
  • The 2026 DLC for F1 25 is now fully supported and the UDP connection can use either protocol version.

Release 7.1.2

This one is all about running large language models locally on your machine. The local LLM Runtime, which can be installed from a DLC, has been rewritten and now supports tool/function calling, which is required to run custom actions by the Assistants. Performance has been improved as well.

Beside that a new function allows you to modify the text returned by an LLM, for example, to remove unwanted test decorations generated by smaller LLMs, which will increase immersion.

Release 7.1.3

Today we introduce automatic detection of bottom out events in the "Setup Workbench".

The function is still under development, not yet tested and calibrated for all simulators, but already working quite well for LMU, ACC, AC and rF2. More is to come with the next release.

The same handling and suspension information is also available to the Driving Coach. See the attached conversation transcript for an example of a discussion with the Coach about handling problems.

Release 7.2

I am proud to present a new milestone in our ongoing journey. Today we release a new AI Assistant, the Setup Engineer as part of the "Setup Workbench" tool. The "Setup Workbench", which has been around for several years now, has been using an old-school expert system architecture with an integrated rule engine to derive setup changes from detected handling issues. But the with the Setup Engineer a new level of detail is possible. The Setup Engineer will analyze your telemetry data and will come up with a detailed assessment of your car setup as sometimes also your driving technique. The result is presented in a detailed report. Here is an example:

http://simulator-controller.selfhost.co/Attachments/Telemetry Analysis.html

Once the analysis has been created the Setup Engineer can also be asked to apply any recommended setup changes automatically to a loaded setup which then can be saved for your next run. All this is demonstrated in this short video:


Beside this groundbreaking new feeature, there also some other additions and fixes, so don't miss to read the Release Notes.

Release 7.2.2

The Driving Coach can help you now to keep your motivation and focus during a race. See this short video for an example (sorry for the audio, somehow the microphone had a problem):


Beside that, we have support for many new cars of Automobilista 2 in the "Setup Workbench" and the meta data for several cars of Le Mans Ultimate have been fixed.

Lastly, a new speech synthesis engine name "Piper" has been added, which runs locally and is in widespread use in home automation installations.

Release 7.2.3

The release this week is all about the "Setup Workbench". Beside some very useful workflow optimizations, the "Setup Workbench" can now read, manipulate and write setup files of *Assetto Corsa EVO*. Even full AI-based creation of setups is supported.

To check out what the "Setup Workbench" can do for you, take a look at the documentation:

github.com

Setup Workbench

A virtual AI-based pit crew for Sim Racing. Use the latest GPT technology to create a real life like experience when out on the track. - SeriousOldMan/Simulator-Controller
github.com github.com

And we found a clever optimization in the rule engine for some very special rules in the position and gap calculations. This increases those rule sets by factor 10, now making a full AI round trip for all four Assistants possible in lesse than a second. This will give you even more accurate and in-time alerts and information than before.
