Installing SimLinkHub
SimLinkHub is the free Windows application that connects Park Road Designs hardware to MSFS 2024. Every device needs it running to work.
Requirements
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit (1903+) or Windows 11 |
| Simulator | Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 |
| .NET | .NET 10 (the installer will offer to install this if missing) |
| Connection | USB, for the CAN Bridge or a directly-connected PRD-225 |
Install
Grab the installer from the Downloads page and run it. No configuration is needed to get started — SimLinkHub will detect connected hardware and MSFS automatically once both are running.
First launch
- Launch SimLinkHub before or after MSFS 2024 — order doesn't matter, it reconnects automatically either way.
- Connect your hardware over USB. The connection status indicators in the main window turn green once both the simulator and the CAN bus are linked up.
- Head to Adding a Device if this is a device SimLinkHub hasn't seen configured before.
