Step 6:
In the “LCD” menu below you can change settings such as LCD brightness, idle behaviour and you can change the dashboard template. If you wish to use our template, head over to: https://printedsimracing.com/pages/downloads Instructions on how to install custom templates are listed below under “Optional SimHub configuration”. On our website we have two templates:
- A remix from the Lovely Dashboard optimised for the dashboard
- Our own template with features such delta, pit timer, stint timer and much more. Of course, you can also download any other SimHub template from the internet.
Step 7:
In the “LED” menu you can change settings such as LED brightness and the LED profile.
The LED profile will determine the LED behaviour.
By default, the top LEDs are to show the RPM. The side LEDs will show traction control and ABS. The PSR LED profile includes many more features, such as spotter, flags, damage indicators and much more. If you wish to customise the LED behaviour, press on “edit profile”. In the next menu you can select the functions that you want the LEDs to show. More information below under Optional SimHub configuration. If you already have an LED profile in use, select “Profiles manager” to make sure that the correct LED profile is selected for the PSR GT5.0 Elite Dashboard. On our website https://printedsimracing.com/pages/downloads you can download the LED profile for the dashboard in case you can’t see it or want to go back to default settings.
Note:
We recommend to use an LED brightness of around 10-40%. A function may not be visible because another function is overwriting the function which you want to use. Select the function that you want and drag it on top of the function which is overwriting the desired function.
Step 8:
In the “Controls” menu you can program buttons or the touchscreen to change a function on the screen. For example, to cycle the dashboard template, you can select “cycle next dash template” and assign the touchscreen of the LCD to perform this action.
Step 9:
Select the game that you want to play in the Games tab and you are all set !
Optional SimHub configuration:
Adding a custom LED profile To add a custom LED profile, open SimHub, Select Devices, PSR GT5.0 Elite Dashboard and go to the LED menu. Select “Profiles manager” and press on “New profile” to make your own profile from scratch or press “Import profile” to add a custom profile.
Note: We recommend to use an LED brightness of around 10-40%.
Changing the LED behaviour
To change the LED behaviour, open SimHub, Select Devices, PSR GT5.0 Elite Dashboard and go to the LED menu. Select “Edit profile” and expand the two “EFFECT GROUP” tabs. Each tab can be expanded further. With the toggle switches on the right you can enable/disable the functions. With the gridded dots on the right you can reposition the functions, the higher the function on the list the more priority. For example, if the flag function is placed above the traction control function. You may experience traction control but this won’t be shown on the dashboard because there is a yellow flag on track.
