"@type": "Question",
"name": "How do I start SimHub and Crew Chief with iRacing automatically?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Create an iRacing profile in SimLauncher, add SimHub and Crew Chief to the companion app list, and set the launch order and delays. Once that's done, opening the profile starts everything in sequence automatically - iRacing first, then SimHub and Crew Chief right behind it, with a short delay before each so they connect cleanly. When you're done, one click closes the companion apps from the running-apps strip. The whole setup takes about five minutes and works the same way for every sim SimLauncher supports."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Can I use SimLauncher for different setups like VR or Motion?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Yes. SimLauncher lets you create multiple profiles for the same sim. So you can have an 'iRacing VR' profile that starts your VR runtime and motion software, and a separate 'iRacing Triples' profile with a different app stack. Each profile has its own companion app list, launch order, and delay settings, completely independent from each other. Switch between them with one click - no manual adjustments needed when you change rigs."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Is it compatible with Assetto Corsa and Content Manager?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Yes. SimLauncher supports Assetto Corsa, ACC, and 25 other racing and flight sims. For Assetto Corsa, you can point the profile at Content Manager or LFM instead of the default executable - SimLauncher just launches whatever path you give it. Your companion apps (SimHub, Crew Chief, overlays) still start in sequence right after the game, in your configured order, regardless of which launcher you use to start AC."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Is SimLauncher really free?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Yes, completely free. No subscriptions, no premium tier, no locked features. SimLauncher is open-source under GPL v3 - the full code is on GitHub if you want to check what it does before installing. It covers everything: per-game profiles, configurable launch order, custom delays, one-click kill/relaunch of running apps, support for 27 sims and tools like SimHub and Crew Chief. Built by a sim racer for the community, and it's staying free."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "How do I install SimLauncher, and what does it need to run?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Download the latest installer from the GitHub releases page and run it - the setup wizard handles the rest, then you set your game and app paths in Settings. SimLauncher runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit), and everything it needs is bundled in the installer, so there's no separate runtime or framework to install. On first launch, Windows SmartScreen may still warn while the new code signature builds reputation - click More info, then Run anyway. The installer is code-signed (verified publisher: David Kohout)."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Does SimLauncher collect any data?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "No. SimLauncher collects no telemetry or analytics, has no accounts, and keeps your profiles and settings on your PC. The only network requests it makes are to GitHub, to check for and download app updates. The full source is public under GPL v3, so you can verify exactly what it does."
