Lock and unlock
Unlock a rig so a customer can drive without scanning a ticket, for your center's default session length; no QR code is used. Lock it again and it returns to the screensaver, waiting for a scan.
Sim racing fleet management
Monitor and control every simulator remotely
Know which rigs are racing, free or down, act on any of them without walking over, and let the fleet power itself down at closing and back up before opening.
Live status
Your whole floor on one screen
The Simulators page of the Omnisim dashboard lists every rig in the selected centers and refreshes every 10 seconds. Each one shows a single status: Racing, Available (waiting for a QR scan), Unlocked, Maintenance, Standby, Free access, Asleep, Powered off, Offline or License inactive.
Counters at the top always describe the whole fleet, whatever filter you apply below. Expand a row to see CPU and RAM load, GPU temperature and the application in the foreground: useful when a rig feels slow or someone left a Windows window on top of the game.
A rig put to sleep by your schedule shows as Asleep, and one switched off by it as Powered off, not Offline. You can tell at a glance a machine that is resting from one that has failed.
- Last contact time and installed software version for each rig
- Search by name, filter by status
- CSV export of the list, with statuses and hardware readings
Remote commands
Act on a rig without leaving the desk
Each row carries its own buttons. The rig applies the command within seconds and its status changes accordingly.
Maintenance
Puts the rig behind a maintenance screen (the default "Simulator unavailable" or your own image) and locks it. A ticket scanned meanwhile is refused and nothing is deducted from it.
Standby
Turns the screen off and locks the rig while keeping it switched on and reachable. Handy during quiet hours; one click wakes it up. Not available while someone is racing.
Close Assetto Corsa
Stops a frozen game without rebooting the machine. Since credit is only deducted for time actually driven, the player is not charged for the minutes lost.
Restart the PC
Reboots the simulator's computer. The rig shows as Offline for the restart, then comes back on its own once the Omnisim software has started.
Remote diagnostics
Request a fresh screenshot of the rig, free disk space, uptime, software version and the last lines of its log, ready to copy for support.
Energy schedule
Rigs that go to sleep at closing and wake up before opening
In Settings › Energy, pick a closing time and a wake-up time, the same every day or one per day. In Sleep mode, each simulator goes into Windows sleep at closing time and wakes itself up in the morning with a wake timer: nobody has to walk from rig to rig with a power button. A full Shutdown mode exists too, but the machine then only powers back on if its BIOS is set to.
A rig that is still in use at closing time does not get cut off: it only sleeps once it is locked and Assetto Corsa is closed, and retries as soon as it becomes free. Any rig left in standby the evening before is woken up with the others, so the floor is ready when you open.
This schedule is different from the Standby button. Standby only turns the screen off and keeps the rig reachable for commands; scheduled sleep really puts the machine to sleep, and nothing can reach it until its wake-up time.
- Different hours per day, days off left unchecked
- No "offline" alert for rigs the schedule put to sleep or switched off
- A rig that has not come back 10 minutes after wake-up time is flagged
Day-to-day operations
Fewer surprises, fewer trips to the rigs
Alerts that know your opening hours
In-app notifications when a simulator goes offline or comes back, an input device is unplugged, the QR reader fails, Assetto Corsa crashes, a GPU runs hot or a disk fills up. Preferences are set per center, and offline alerts follow the energy schedule.
Command QR codes for staff
Printed codes your team scans at a rig to restart it, unlock it, switch maintenance on or off, or open free access until a set date. Reusable while valid, editable without reprinting, revocable, and every scan is logged.
Updates that wait for a free rig
The simulator software updates itself, but only installs when the rig is locked and Assetto Corsa is closed, never during a game. Choose the Stable or Beta channel; in manual mode you pick the target version and can roll back.
An intervention log
Locks, unlocks, standby, maintenance and restarts are recorded with who did it, when, and from where: the dashboard, a command QR code or the simulator itself.
Content sync
Install a car once, share it with the fleet
Add a car or a track to one simulator and share it with the others. Each rig in a share has a role: Source (publishes only), Mirror (receives only) or Bidirectional. The simplest setup is one reference rig as Source and every other rig as Mirror. Cars, tracks and driver models can be shared; weather is not.
Copies only run while a simulator is idle, never while someone is driving, so a large mod pack does not slow down a session in progress. A rig picks up a new or changed share within minutes once it is at rest, and you follow progress rig by rig. Deletions are not propagated unless you turn that on.
Simulators find each other directly on the local network; a share can also span several centers, in which case the copy goes over the internet.
Access & resilience
Run the fleet from anywhere, keep control of who touches it
Desk, phone or tablet
The dashboard runs in a browser, with nothing to install and no server on site. On a phone, each rig's commands sit behind a Commands button on its card. Settings changed in the dashboard reach the simulators without anyone on site.
Roles for your team
Front desk, Technician and Center manager roles can send commands to the rigs. The Read only role sees the fleet without the command buttons.
Support access closed by default
Without your consent, the Omnisim team only sees your rigs' status. You open access per simulator for 4, 24 or 72 hours, revoke it at any time, and every support command lands in your log.
When the internet drops
A session in progress is not lost: the player finishes and laps are sent once the connection is back. No new session can start until then, by design, and the content list stays on the rig.
Fleet management questions
Can the simulators switch off at night and back on in the morning by themselves?
Yes. Choose Sleep mode in Settings › Energy, then set a closing time and a wake-up time, globally or day by day. Each rig goes into Windows sleep at closing and wakes itself up with a wake timer. A rig still in use waits until it is locked and Assetto Corsa is closed. In Shutdown mode, rigs only power back on if their BIOS is configured for it. The manual covers how to schedule shutdown and wake-up.
Will a software update ever interrupt a customer?
No. Updates only install on a locked simulator with Assetto Corsa closed. A rig that is never locked long enough stays on its current version until it is.
Assetto Corsa froze in the middle of a session. What can I do from the desk?
Use the AC button on that rig to close the game without rebooting, or Restart to reboot the PC (it goes through without a confirmation and cuts any race in progress). Credit is only deducted for the time actually driven, and if 10 seconds or more were left, the remaining time stays on the player's QR code for the next scan.
Can Omnisim access my simulators?
Only if you allow it. By default the support team sees your rigs' status, nothing more: no commands, no screenshots, no logs. You grant remote access for selected rigs for 4, 24 or 72 hours, it closes by itself at the end, any extension needs your explicit approval, you can revoke it at any time, and each support command is logged.
What is the difference between Standby and the night schedule?
Standby, sent from the Simulators page, turns the screen off and locks the rig but keeps it on and reachable: you wake it with one click. The energy schedule really puts the machine to sleep, and no command can reach it until its programmed wake-up time.
What happens to the fleet if our internet connection goes down?
Sessions already running finish normally and their laps are stored on the rig, then sent in order when the connection returns. While offline, a rig refuses new scans and launches with an "Internet connection lost" message: Omnisim does not offer offline play.
Can staff act on a rig without logging into the dashboard?
Yes, with command QR codes. Scanned at a simulator, they restart it, unlock it, toggle maintenance or open free access until a date you set. You can edit or revoke a code without reprinting it, and every scan appears in the intervention log.
