This overlay is a direct re-implementation of Sidekick for Assetto Corsa by Topuz. The whole idea, design, assets and original implementation is by him. His plugin is available here:
Sidekick
After spending a lot of time developing RaceEssentials, I wanted to try a different approach to see how it will work out. This time, I give you Sidekick, a discreet but powerful app. I've learned a lot about AC app development in the past several...

1. TL;DR
If you're familiar with both Sidekick and SimHub here is a quickie:
1. Unpack the content of the ZIP to the SimHub directory
2. Install the fonts
3. Have a look at sidekick_config.js
4. Assign A-D and PrevPage in SimHub, they change sections 1-5
5. Add the dash to some overlay layout of yours
6. Enjoy!
2. About
I recently started playing rFactor 2 and I felt that Sidekick from Assetto Corsa is sorely missing here.
This overlay is as close re-implementation of Sidekick as I possibly could do with SimHub and my skills. I tried to be as pixel accurate and as feature complete as I could (although 0.7 has few more functionalities).
The final result looks, behaves and feels like the original Sidekick.
This overlay is implemented for rFactor 2. Since 0.7 it also works with AC, ACC and AMS2 (possibly with pCars2 as well, but not tested).
For the rest of the readme, please see the README.TXT file included in the archive.
