📅 Update on March 4, 2026

The improvements made in the AI Engineer:

Interactive Cornering Assistant: Discover a real-time top-down animation to accurately visualize the car’s behavior through a corner. Ideal for understanding at a glance what really happens at turn-in.
4 educational modes: Ideal line, understeer, oversteer, and curb instability: each mode displays a dedicated trajectory with an animated car to instantly compare the differences.
Synchronized dynamic steering wheel: Steering angle, counter-steer snaps, and oscillations are reproduced live to clearly illustrate the driver’s reactions in each situation.
Instant visual understanding: Designed for beginner simracers, this tool helps quickly identify cornering mistakes and build the right reflexes more easily.

📅 Update of February 18, 2026

Improvements made:

SimHub Plugin – Telemetry anti-spam: The minimum delay between two telemetry submissions had been removed, allowing the user to send without restriction. The 10-second delay has been reinstated to prevent spam submissions.

📅 Update of February 17, 2026

Improvements made - SimHub Plugin:

Complete overhaul of telemetry sending: Faster, more reliable, and better optimized upload. Data is now sent in a single request instead of three, reducing transfer time and significantly limiting the risk of errors.

PTT Engineer in continuous evolution: Its internal operation has been optimized to progressively improve response quality and race analysis, delivering an even smoother and more realistic experience.
Subscription fix in progress: Currently, the subscription check occurs when SimHub starts, which requires a restart after subscribing. This behavior is not intended and will be fixed soon.

📅 Update of February 15, 2026

Improvements made:

Click count indication: The AI engineer now directly indicates the number of clicks to apply to reach the optimal setting, instead of estimating a target value. More precise, clearer, and above all faster to apply during setup.
