WHO IT'S FOR

The SSG DF-8 Flag Display is designed for PC sim racers who want dedicated visual race information integrated into their cockpit. It is suitable for beginners building a more informative sim racing setup, intermediate drivers looking to improve situational awareness, and experienced racers who want customizable flag and warning indicators. Its SimHub integration makes it particularly useful for drivers building advanced dashboards, endurance racing cockpits, and multi-display sim rigs.

KEY FEATURES

Customizable 8x8 LED Matrix: The 64-LED display provides configurable visual feedback for gear selection, marshal flags, spotter alerts, oil and water temperature warnings, low fuel, timed penalties, engine start sequences, and pit-lane effects. SimHub allows drivers to adjust the display layout and visual behavior to match their preferences.

Advanced Flag Configuration: Supports an unlimited number of flag types, with up to four flag configurations displayed simultaneously. Dual-unit configurations can show critical flags on both matrices or exclusively on the left unit.

Adjustable Gear Display: Position gear indicators on the left side, right side, or both sides of the matrix. Choose between Slim, Slim Inverted, Bold, and Bold Inverted styles, with coordinated redline colors for consistent visual feedback.

CNC-Machined Aluminum Construction: The enclosure is precision-machined from aerospace-grade 6061 aluminum and finished with black anodizing. An integrated acrylic diffuser creates a clean, uniform appearance while reducing the harshness of individual LEDs.

SimHub Software Integration: Customize flag behavior, gear display styles, warning effects, and color themes through SimHub. iRacing pit-box countdown functionality is also supported through the third-party RomainRob SimHub plugin.

USB-C Connection and Adjustable Mounting: A single USB connection links the display to your PC. Select the 3-inch RA-3 or 6-inch RA-6 metal articulating arm for adjustable mounting and precise placement within your sim racing cockpit.

REAL-WORLD USE / EXPERIENCE

During a race, the SSG DF-8 Flag Display brings important information into your peripheral vision so you can recognize changing track conditions without repeatedly checking your in-game HUD. Yellow flags, spotter alerts, low-fuel warnings, and gear changes can be communicated through distinct LED patterns and colors, helping you stay informed while concentrating on braking points, traffic, and race strategy.

For endurance racing and competitive sessions, customizable warning configurations help prioritize the information that matters most. The adjustable mounting arm allows the display to sit near your monitor or steering wheel, while the aluminum enclosure and diffused LEDs provide a clean, integrated cockpit appearance.
