OpenSR Early Access Quick Getting Started

[zappadoc]

The Early Access version of OpenSR is available now!

OpenSR is the new free application that replaces everything I have developed for the sim racing community since 2007. You could say this is my legacy project. No licenses, no activation fees, no paid versions. OpenSR is free for everyone.
Cheers!

Quick Getting Started Guide

OpenSR is designed to be simple and easy to use. Follow these three steps to get started quickly.

Step 1
Download and Install
Download the latest full installer from the official website and install OpenSR.

Step 2
Allow OpenSR Through Windows Firewall
When launching OpenSR for the first time, Windows may display a firewall security prompt.
Click “Allow Access” to let OpenSR communicate with its components and plugins. Some plugins use local network communication to exchange data with dashboard applications and external devices.

Step 3
Recommended Initial Configuration
Before going on track with your favorite game, we recommend the following setup:
A. Select Your Language

    Open the Settings page from the left sidebar.
    Select your preferred language.
    Save your settings.

B. Sign In to Enable Pro Performance Mode (PPM)

    Open the Sign In page.
    Enter your account login and password.

To sign in to the OpenSR application, the user must first connect to the support forum at least once. This initial connection is required to validate and activate the account.

By default, OpenSR sends telemetry data at 30 Hz (30 updates per second), which is sufficient for most devices and applications.

Signing in activates Pro Performance Mode (PPM), unlocking telemetry updates at the game’s native rate, typically ranging from 60 Hz to over 500 Hz depending on the simulator.

This feature is our way of rewarding everyone who has supported our projects through donations, contributions, testing, development, and community involvement since 2009.

Thank you all for your continued support. Your contributions help us maintain the project, improve OpenSR, and add support for new hardware and software.

Plugin Developers and Hardware Manufacturers

OpenSR was designed from the beginning to be extensible through plugins.

If you are a developer, hardware manufacturer, dashboard application author, or content creator interested in adding support for your products, contact us to obtain access to the OpenSR SDK.

The SDK is currently under active development, just like the OpenSR Early Access release. It is available on request to registered developers and partners.

The complete public SDK will be released alongside the final OpenSR 1.x release.
