  • Page 22: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting 1. No connection on SimHub – please make sure the USB A cable is pluged in. If you are using an USB-adapter or extender, please connect the display directly to the USB-port on the computer. 2. My computer can’t recognize the TM OpenWheel display – This probably means you have not yet installed SimHub, or SimHub did not install the correct drivers for you.
