4. Troubleshooting

The display is not detected by SimHub.
Try a different USB port, ideally one directly on your motherboard rather than a hub. Make sure SimHub is installed before connecting the display.

The screen stays blank during a session.
Confirm SimHub is running and that your game is supported and detected. Check that a dashboard has been applied to the DV-5 screen.

Touch input is not responding.
Enable touch input for the DV-5 in the SimHub screen settings.
