UDP Proxy - F1 22-25 + SimHub

UDP proxy/forwarder setup for sharing F1 22-25 telemetry between platform manager and SimHub.

Information

This solution applies to all F1 games from F1 22 to F1 25.

1 Introduction

When the game sends telemetry data using UDP, only one application can receive it on local computer. It means that by default you cannot have both platform manager and dashboard application running at the same time on the same UDP port for games like e.g. Forza Horizon 4, Forza Motorsport 7, Dirt Rally and Dirt Rally 2.0.

One solution for this problem is when the game can send the telemetry data to more than one UDP port but this is supported only in a few Codemasters titles. For other games, it is recommended to send the telemetry data directly to ForceSeatPM and then use built-in UDP proxy/forwarder to send the same data to 3rd party applications.

Information

It is always best to first send the data from the game to the Platform Manager to prevent any lag in the platform's operation. Minor delays in the dashboard display are usually imperceptible.

2 SinHub configuration

1. Open SimHub application, switch to Codemasters F1 2X game and click Game Config.

2. Enter 20888 in Game telemetry UDP port and uncheck Forward UDP packet to.

Warning

DO NOT click Configure game now as it will corrupt the configuration.

For the main window notification, click Ignore.

Tip

In some cases 20888 port might not work correctly (e.g. when it is being used by another process). Good alternative is 20778. You can also try any other free port between 1024 and 65535.

3 ForceSeatPM and game configuration

Open F1 2X profile details and click UDP Proxy button.

Switch to UDP Proxy/Fowarder tab and click Add.

Enter the same UDP port which is used by SimHub (in this example it is 20888) and click OK.

Click OK → OK → Save & Close. Activate F1 2X profile, start the game and verify if both SimHub and the motion platform work correctly.
