FAQAmbient Lights
My Ambient Lights aren't doing anything
A step-by-step check: confirm DNR is producing colour, test the light from SimHub, then re-import the DNR light profile.
Work through these in order:
- Check the plugin is actually producing colour. Open Ambient Lights → Capture Settings and look at "Live output per light" at the bottom. If you see changing RGB numbers, DNR is working and the problem is downstream (steps 2–3).
- Test the light from SimHub directly. In SimHub's own Ambient Lights page, use its built-in test/preview to flash your light. If it doesn't respond even there, it's a connection/pairing issue with the light itself (e.g. Hue bridge), not DNR.
- Re-import the DNR light profile. In SimHub's Ambient Lights → Color effects, make sure the "Daniel Newman Racing – Ambient Lighting" profile is selected and up to date. Re-importing it fixes cases where an old profile stops the colours coming through.
