I recently decided to implement an old tablet into my sim rig for the purpose of utilizing it as an external dash.

After doing some research, I came about a program called "simhub" which allows for the simulation of various dash instruments.

I have been enjoying the setup of the external dash and find it to be a great addition to my sim rig.

The process of setting it up was relatively easy and I was able to quickly get it up and running.

Looking clean!

thanks! I think my next iteration would be a triple monitor stand. Right now I'm using an Ikea desk and 2 monitor arms which is not ideal because of monitor sag. I'd like them a little closer and lower which is not possible atm.

This is been pretty much a budget build, but I'm super happy with it so far.

Looks really good. I ended up putting my simhub screen on top of the monitors because it kept blocking stuff I wanted to see at the bottom.
