    Hello, I'm trying to setup 2 Simagic haptic pedal reactors with my rig, but I don't understand how ABS telemetry is working for R3E.
    What I find is that ABS is set active not only on brake but also on rough accelerations or when the car slips sideways in a curve which is confusing. At first I thought it was "Stability Control" or "Traction Control" interfering with the process, but I disabled both and it still does not work properly.
    I can monitor the GameData.ABSActive property with SimHub and it shows that the problem comes from telemetry output (not the motors) as I see some ABS activations even when the brakes are not used.
    I tried with different cars since not all of them have ABS. Most of the tests are done with "134 Judd V8" an Factory ABS settings. I can upload a video of the issue if needed.
    Has anyone managed to use haptic or active pedals successfully with R3E ?

    I think I found the issue : It was caused by a bad tuned brake pedal.
    The lower dead zone was too tight, and a small amount of brake remaining at some times was messing up with the ABS triggering randomly even without touching the pedal.
    With a bigger dead zone the haptic actuators reacts correctly now.

    I have a problem when reactor does not work at all. Do I need to setup something within RaceRoom? LMU, iRacing, AC works fine using SimHub.

    Updating Simhub should be enough. If you have Simagic hardware then only run Simagic software after all other sim software (like Simhub).

    It is the newest version of SimHub. I tried using Simagic SimPro but it still does not work.

    Something to try... Disable in Simpro and when you use Simhub make sure to double click Raceroom from the home screen. It fixed my issues of external screens for Simhub and Raceroom.

    I don't know what SimPro is, the key is that Simagic software can't read shared memory correctly and this somehow prevents other programs from reading it too. So running Simagic software must be the last step.
