What is iReporter

Overview

iReporter is a SimHub plugin designed for iRacing competitors to make their life easier whilst competing. It uses technology to understand information about your car and the cars around you and allows you to use this information to create customs actions based on this information. This information also allows conditional logic to be used to help assist with events. An example might be to to send a message to cars that are behind you within 2 seconds that you intend to make a pit stop this lap or to send a message to race control with details of your car (number and name), lap that you are on that a crash has occurred and the other cars likely involved are xyz. 

During a busy race, things happen fast. Typing a report into the iRacing chat box while also trying to race is difficult and distracting. iReporter solves this by letting you pre-configure your most common reports as buttons — on your iReporter button box, an Elgato Stream Deck, or both. One press sends a fully formatted, data-filled report instantly — no typing required.

Input Options

iReporter supports three input modes, selectable from the settings panel:

• iReporter Button Box — a dedicated hardware button box (4, 8, or 16 buttons) connected via USB. Physical buttons trigger reports and hardware LEDs show live race status.
• Stream Deck — an Elgato Stream Deck used as the sole input device. Keys display live colour and data (countdowns, gap times) and trigger the same reports as physical buttons.
• iReporter Button Box & Stream Deck — both devices active simultaneously, giving you flexibility to use whichever is within reach.
