KS2 Dashbord readout update.

[Redvaliant]

this is a how-to on changing the colours on the dash readouts for a better and easier read.

I have changed the KS2's dash lights to show the info in different colours. It allows a quick glance to see the laptime, gear, speed etc, more clearly than the all red readout.
You can alter the colours in the testdash file to get a range of colours; these are the ones I got after a bit of experimenting.
Back up your original testDash file before installing.It goes here: your drive/nkpro13/cars/formulaKS2/nkdk/testDash.


The colours are, in order: Red, Green, Blue. The values are 0-1.
In my example above I have the RPM on the right as the standard red: R=1.0,G=0.0,B=0.0.
So that is Full Red as the value is 1.0 and green and blue are at 0 which = black.

The fuel number on the bottom left is R1.0,G1.0,B1.0 which equals full white.

The split time on the bottom right is nearly full green which is R0.0, G0.955, B0.0.

by using fractions below 1.0, you can now mix the 3 colours to arrive at any combo of hues you like.
Here is my full NKD file which are the colours in the above image:
