User Manual
Our team is happy to help you get set up.
01 Getting started
Paddock360 runs quietly on your PC and streams laps from your sim games into your unified driver profile. Getting going takes three steps:
- 1Install the Paddock360 Rig Client from Steam and launch it.
- 2Sign in on your rig — your profile syncs across every device you use.
- 3Open a supported game. Paddock360 detects it and starts capturing automatically (some titles need a one-time setup — see below).
The client keeps running in the background while you drive — you don't need to keep the window open.
02 Connecting your games
Open the Games tab to see which titles Paddock360 has detected. Each game is either ready to go or needs a quick one-time setup.
Support for more titles is on the way, including additional sims and consoles. The Games tab updates automatically as new integrations ship.
You must own, or be licensed to use, any game you connect. Paddock360 is independent and not affiliated with the game publishers.
03 Profile & account
Open Settings to configure capture, sync and storage behaviour for this rig.
Profile
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Display name | The name shown on your public profile. |
| Username | Your unique handle — 3–30 characters, using a–z, 0–9 and underscore. |
| Bio | A short line others see on your profile. Optional. |
Account
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Signed in | Shows you're authenticated on this rig. Use Log out to sign out here. |
| Delete account | Permanently deletes your account and all telemetry you own. This cannot be undone. |
Deleting your account removes your data across your profile. If you only want to free up disk space, use Clear synced data (Storage) instead.
04 Privacy
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Usage analytics | Shares anonymous usage data to help improve Paddock360. You can turn this off at any time, and it never includes your telemetry content. |
For full detail on what we collect, how it's stored and your rights, see the Privacy policy.
05 Capture & sync
Capture
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Capture rate | Frames per second to record, from 1 to 60 Hz. Higher rates capture more detail but use more storage. Default: 20 Hz. |
| Cooldown duration | Seconds to wait before ending a session after you exit the game. Default: 30. |
Sync
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Sync interval | Seconds between background sync runs that upload captured laps to your profile. Default: 5. |
06 Storage
The Storage panel shows how much local space Paddock360 is using (for example 120.3 MB / 4.88 GB) and how many sessions are saved on this rig.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Telemetry retention | Days to keep synced telemetry locally before pruning it. Default: 30. |
| Max database size | Upper bound on local storage, in megabytes. Default: 5000. |
| Clear synced data | Deletes telemetry frames already uploaded to the server. Your uploaded profile data is unaffected — this only frees local disk space. |
07 Connected devices
This panel lists the wheels, pedals and controllers Paddock360 detects on your rig. Use Refresh after plugging in new hardware to update the list. Device detection is for capture context only; Paddock360 does not change your hardware settings.
08 Advanced & legal
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| API — Base URL | The Paddock360 backend endpoint the client talks to. Most users should never change this — leave it at the default unless Paddock360 support asks you to. |
| Legal — Privacy policy | Opens the Privacy policy: what telemetry we collect, how it's stored, and your rights. |
| About | Shows the Paddock360 Rig Client version you're running. |
09 Troubleshooting
My game isn't being detected +
Make sure the game is supported and, for setup-required titles, that UDP telemetry is on with the correct port and IP. Restart the game after changing telemetry settings.
Laps aren't appearing on my profile +
Check that you're signed in, that the client is running, and that the Sync interval isn't paused. Sessions upload in the background — give it one sync cycle to appear.
I'm running low on disk space +
Lower the Telemetry retention or Max database size, or use Clear synced data to remove frames already uploaded to the server.
