Page 3: Initial Calibration
‘enter’ on your keyboard. This will open the Windows Game Controller program. Select ‘Grid by Simlab MPX’ from the list and press ‘Properties’ to access the properties window. At this moment, we offer more inputs than possible to display. - Page 4 Calibration Mode The calibration is a very straightforward process, but first we need to enter the Calibration Mode on the wheel itself. To activate the wheels’ calibration mode, Press and Hold the ADJUST (A) button and CALIBRATION MODE (CM) button at the same time.
- Page 5 Clutch modes and bite-point adjustment To make the most out of the dual clutches installed, they need to be set-up to your liking and intended use. Mode selection We offer multiple modes for different uses. This can be changed on the fly on the wheel itself.
- Page 6 Bite-point adjustment Bite-point adjustment is available only in the DUAL-CLUTCH mode. If you are not in this mode, please see the previous page on how to switch to this mode. Also, it is important that both paddles are calibrated before adjusting their behavior. Please see Page 7 before following the steps on this page, if you have not calibrated your clutch paddles already.

Page 10: First Start
In this case we tick the box for the ‘Grid MPX Steering Wheel’ (2). The ‘device icon’ (3) is activated now and once we press it, the device page will be shown. -
Page 11: Device Pages
Device pages We will go over each device page in order, explaining their contents per page. Controller (A) This device page focusses more on the mechanical part of controlling the hardware. Seeing the options mentioned, it is probably clear this page has more to do with wheels than dashes for example. - Page 12 LEDs (B) This will be explained in two parts, first we will go over the options found on the right side of the screen. - ‘LED profile name’ (1) This serves two purposes in one. Firstly the name of the loaded profile is noted to verify that the profile has been loaded.
- Page 13 - ‘Test LEDs’ (4) This opens up a pop-up window where you use test input to see what the LEDs do using the currently loaded profile. - ‘Redline flash color’ (5) You can pick the color when you reach the redline or optimal shift point. Right now this is preset at a standard 95%.
- Page 14 When we take a look at the visual representation of our hardware though, comparing it to the prevous page (Controller) some colors have been added. Clicking on any LED/color brings up the LED setup window. We’re looking at this horizontally. From left to right the function number (1), the function (2), the function input/option (3), color (4) and state (5) (default is static).
- Page 15 Here are some basic rules: - Each LED can have up to 3 functions with different behaviors. - Functions are stacked where Function 3 is lowest and Function 1 is highest in priority. - Any LED with an ‘alwaysOn’ behavior should be used with ‘Function 3’ in case of multiple functions on one LED.
- Page 16 Following are some examples to show the functions and how they stack up. Although we intend for Race Director to offer a basic feature set, this is still quite complete and allows you to setup your wheel or dash to your liking. One thing to keep in mind, the ‘alwaysOn’...
- Page 17 Example #3 A bit more complex than the last one but when you break it down, it makes sense as a prioritised stack. Here we go: While the flag is being waved/shown, ‘Function 1’ is shown, even if a car is next to you at that moment, as ‘Function 1’...

- Page 19 Secure all cables in such a way they can’t be tripped on or accidentally pulled from their sockets. When experiencing intermittent signal loss, we recommend using a powered USB hub. ONLY connect approved ‘GRID’ sim racing steering wheels or risk DAMAGE to your steering wheel or PC! 19 20...
