Input

Remapping.
Remapping.
While the game can send telemetry data to supported software like SimHub and devices like motion platforms, bass shakers and telemetry displays through the UDP protocol, it has broken UDP support, requiring a third-party fix. Also support D-Box haptic/motion platforms through a proprietary protocol.[2] Requires editing the hardware_settings_config.xml file to enable them.
