About

SimAPI Daemon watches for a running racing simulator, maps its telemetry, and republishes it as a universal shared memory map at /dev/shm/SIMAPI.DAT for other applications to read. This build can run commands on the host system. It has to: identifying a running simulator means reading the host's process table, which a Flatpak sandbox cannot otherwise see. Treat this package as unconfined software delivered through Flatpak, not as a sandboxed application.
