A software-only solution for a SimRacing Wind Simulator. It allows a PC fan (connected to a standard fan header/port on the mainboard) to be controlled directly by telemetry data from racing simulations, without the need for external microcontrollers like Arduino. It uses SimHubPropertyServer and a custom sensor file importet into Fan Controll.
