Introduction
evoHUD+ is an extension of the evoHUD mod created by @kenken.

Simple, Customisable, Reliable are the core aims of this mod

It includes the essential files from kenken's evoHUD version 1.5.99.364:

Enjoy!

Features:
  • In-game positioning of widgets
  • In-game changing of widget options
  • Options can be specific to sessions (practice, race, qualifying, etc)
  • Modular approach allowing others to develop widgets for evoHUD+
Installation / Updating
  1. Extract to your automobilista directory. Overwrite any existing files.
  2. Go to the Automobilista\Plugins\evoHUD and run the "DBCreator.exe" file. This will allow the trackMap to work.
  3. Launch Automobilista and enjoy

Track Map or Pit Limit not shown
Sometimes the DBCreator.exe (see installation item #2 above) does not run. DBCreator.exe is a legacy of the original evoHUD and I can not work on it as I do not have the source code. Without DBCreator you cannot use the track map widget and the pit limit widget will only show you current speed rather than the pit limit as well.

How to create the Track Database:

  1. Make sure Automobilista is NOT running
  2. Navigate to Automobilista\Plugins\evoHUD
  3. Run the updateTrackDB.bat file
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions
  5. Load the game and enjoy working track maps
  6. Repeat if you install new tracks

Known Issues
  • Track Map does not display. See above instructions
  • Some people experience the whole game crashing after track loads or when you go out on track. This is a bug that exists in both evoHUD and evoHUD+. Despite lots of effort we can not find the cause. Things that have worked for others are:
    • Rename Automobilista folder to something else
    • Move Automobilista to a different hard drive
  • Enabling the Pit Board causes occasional full game crashes. It is disabled by default.
  • The leaderboard relative to player option does not work properly.

Many of the ideas were cloned from gidHUD. An excellent hud in it's own right.

Track map is not working and also the workaround is no help. The rest is great.
Bit of a faff to set up but once it gets going, the going gets good
Was looking forward to installing this then I saw there was a dx9.dll file that needed copying over too and I'm pretty sure this will disable my reshade install. Can anyone verify this ?
Amazing
Nice and complete HUD. but i have a problem with dbcreator and maptrack. HELP pls
Very strong plugin. Finally we have so much information! The clearly design is almost perfect. Isn't too "nice" and modern, but readable and useful for eyes. This is the best plugin I have ever seen in my life for any sim racing title. Thx! 9.3/10

Very kind review. Glad it hit the spot for you.
Pretty sweet. I don't use that many HUD graphics, but the pit board is neat. Just wished I could switch fonts though.

The font used is as close a match to the one used in game as possible.

However, your review has made me look into making it possible to change the font. I have the initial code working so should be possible in the next update which I will release "soon".
Best HUD out there for ams, thanks Jim and the other authors!

Thanks for the feedback and help in the support thread tracking down the issues.

Resolved in 1.1.4 which is already released!
Fantastic addition to AMS. The ease of moving widgets on my triple screens is a great feature, and the information provided is comprehensive and customizable. Thank you.
perfect! 10/10
EvoHud+ is a wonderful evolution of EvoHud and a great addition to Automobilista. Room for improvement is always there, but the amount of work, love & dedication poored into this program deserves a 5-star reward.

Thank you!
Great stuff Thank You!

DBCreator.exe does not work for me, but Nobkins made this version (1.1.1) to allow the pitspeed to display regardless of the program recognizing the pitspeedlimit

Just in case anyone reads this. I have added a download of my own evoHUD.db file (the file created by DBCreator.exe) to the overview page of evoHUD+. If you have problems with DBCreator and want to use the track map or pit limit option then this will allow all default tracks, DLC tracks and some mods to show correctly.

Thanks for the review!
Awesome stuff!!
Thank you!!!
Awesome mod. Many thanks but I can’t get the pit board to show up, yes it’s disabled by default but when I change the value to ‘true’ it doesn’t show up. Even when I click move it dosnt show up. Any ideas?

The pitboard has a bug in it that cause the whole game to crash. I need to rewrite it but have not had the chance. It is disabled in code for this reason but I will bump it up the to-do list.

Thanks for the review.
excelent job, thanks

You're very welcome Fabrice.
Is DBCreator supposed to crash upon finishing? Otherwise good mod!
Nobkins

It isn't supposed to put DBCreator comes from the original evoHUD soon have no ability to change or fix it. It is only needed for the trackmap. You can disable the evoHUD+ trackmap and use the one in the built-in HUD.
In Automobilista, this is considered to be an absolute HUD anymore. I like it and I use it. However, it is regrettable that the explanation of the "Alt + E" key is not written anywhere. I understood only when I saw the video.

When you first install evoHUD+ (and you might have installed it before this feature was added). You have to agree to a license. On that license page at the top it tells you about ALT+E.

After agreeing to the license another page pops up telling you about ALT+E. This second page is there for those that do not read the first page (as most people do not read licenses and just click OK).

It is also in the readme.

As I say you may have installed evoHUD+ before this feature was added but new users get told twice in-game and it is in the readme.

Not sure what else I can do to highlight it.
