WHAT IT IS
----------
HSR CobraLink is a SimHub plugin that lets your Geko GS-Cobra or GS1
motion seat work with any modern racing or flight sim. It impersonates
the Dirt Rally 2.0 telemetry protocol that GSeat Manager already
understands, so your seat reacts to games it was never built for.


REQUIREMENTS
------------
- Windows 10 or 11
- SimHub 9.10.7 or newer (licensed)        https://www.simhubdash.com/
- GSeat Manager 2.1.0+ from Geko Systems
- A Geko GS-Cobra or GS1 motion seat
- An HSR CobraLink license key              https://hsimracing.com/product/hsr-cobralink/
  (the plugin runs in a limited demo mode without a key)


INSTALL
-------
1. Close SimHub if it is running (the installer will also do it).
2. Run  HSR_CobraLink_Setup_1.0.0.exe  (accept the admin prompt).
3. Confirm your SimHub folder when asked. The installer copies:
     - the plugin into your SimHub folder
     - two ready-made GSeat source profiles (Assetto Corsa Rally and
       Assetto Corsa Evo) into your GSeat Manager DefaultSourceProfiles
       folder.
4. Start SimHub. In the left menu you now have "HSR CobraLink".
5. Paste your license key in the LICENSE section and click Activate.


GSEAT MANAGER SETUP
-------------------
1. Open GSeat Manager.
2. Pick one of the new source profiles ("Assetto Corsa Rally" or
   "Assetto Corsa Evo") - they appear in the Dirt Rally 2.0 input list.
3. GSeat Manager listens on UDP 127.0.0.1:10001 (the Dirt Rally 2.0
   default). CobraLink sends there automatically.

If the source profiles do not show up: copy the two .spr files manually
into your GSeat Manager install folder, in the subfolder
"DefaultSourceProfiles". On a default install that is:
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Geko Systems\GSeat Manager\DefaultSourceProfiles\
Then restart GSeat Manager.


LIVE MONITORING DASHBOARD (optional)
------------------------------------
The file  "HSR CobraLink monitor.simhubdash"  included in this archive is
a SimHub dashboard that shows, in real time, the forces CobraLink sends to
the seat (a 2D G-meter, vertical G and engine RPM). To install it:

1. In SimHub, open DashStudio (left menu).
2. Click Import (top toolbar) and select the .simhubdash file.
3. Open it on your phone (SimHub mobile app), on a tablet (WebDash URL in
   the browser), or on a second monitor.


USAGE NOTES
-----------
- CobraLink auto-detects the active game and loads the matching tuning
  profile. Per-game settings are saved automatically.
- Tune the forces with the sliders in the HSR CobraLink panel
  (Trajectory / Handling / Effects). Hover a slider for a description.
- Share your tuning: Export creates a .cobralink.json file you can swap
  with other users on our Discord.
