As Driven 0.22.0

As Driven 0.22.0

As Driven tells a sim racer which physical controls to fit and how to shift
authentically. This release includes SimHub client 0.22.0 and a
known-good copy of dataset 0.6.0 with 300 reviewed
car records.

What you'll notice

• Guidance where the real car was never researched. Gearbox architecture is
  published everywhere; launch and shift technique almost nowhere. Rather than
  answer "not established" and stop, As Driven can now say how cars of that
  mechanism were usually driven - marked as convention, never as a finding
  about your car. The first reviewed rule covers H-pattern cars whose gearbox
  construction is unknown, and reaches 84 open fields across 42 cars.
• It stays apart from evidence. The line says the real value is not
  established before it says what such cars usually did, it is drawn in its own
  colour on the pre-flight card and under its own heading in the catalog, and
  it can neither change nor replace a value a record establishes. A car that
  answers for itself is never spoken for. Your overlay does not move: the card
  shares the note panel it already had.
• Three more cars sourced from the real car. The gearbox architecture of
  the McLaren F1 GTR Longtail, Cadillac DPi-V.R and Chevrolet Camaro GT4.R now
  rests on published accounts of those cars rather than on one guided drive.
• Better evidence behind the DBR9 and the C9. A period road test, an
  exact-chassis interview and Aston Martin's own specification stand behind the
  DBR9's clutch and cockpit rim; Daimler-credited photographs stand behind the
  C9's rim. The answers do not change - what holds them up does. The database
  now carries 300 reviewed car records.

Install

1. Download As-Driven-for-SimHub-0.22.0.zip below.
2. Extract the ZIP.
3. Close SimHub.
4. Double-click Install As Driven.cmd and approve the Windows prompt.
5. Start SimHub and enable As Driven under Settings > Plugins.

The installer backs up an existing installation and preserves customized
overlay positions by default. See START HERE.txt inside the ZIP for the full
short guide.

Tested against

• SimHub 9.12.6
• Automobilista 2 1.6.9.91
• Windows

Newer versions generally work but have not been verified. The other simulators
in the dataset carry reviewed entries rather than complete rosters.

What Windows will warn you about

Expect two warnings, and neither means something is wrong. The administrator
prompt names an unknown publisher, because a signing certificate is a paid
annual subscription for a free project. Windows may also block the downloaded
ZIP: right-click it, open Properties, tick Unblock, and extract it again.

A .sha256 file is attached beside each ZIP. Comparing it is worth more than a
signature would be, because it tells you the bytes are the published ones.

The database package

as-driven-db-0.6.0.zip is the curated dataset on its own, for clients that are
not SimHub. You do not need it to install or update the plugin: the ZIP above
already carries this dataset.
