All my overlays have been merged in a version 2.0 here : https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/xiv-overlays.49078/
What is it ?
It's a Simhub overlay that display the gap with your direct opponents (same car class) based on the leaderboard. It shows you the gap evolution over a lap and the last measured gap.
How to read it ?
The cars on the top of lis are your direct opponents ahead. The cars on the bottom of the list are your direct opponents behind.
The blue lap time is your opponent best personnal lap in session. The white one, is the last lap time.
The purple line indicates the driver that hit the best lap of session.
The red/green squares show the 3 most recent measurements. The right one is the most recent one. The squares behave like a stack first in first out that fills from the right. When a new measurement is done, data appears on the last square, then it slides to the next on the left. The oldest is the one on the left.
The more the markers are green, the more the situation got favorable to you during the last lap. The more is turns into red, the more it got favorable to your opponents.
- Green on car ahead means you're catching him
- Red on car ahead means he's escaping from you
- Green on car behind means you're escaping
- Red on car behind means that he's catching you
When it is usefull ?
- When you want to see how fast he can be : you can check it's fastest lap and his lap lap
- When you're running pretty long races where your opponent may be in different sector. In this case, ACC does not provide you any gap and it can be boring. This dash work around that ACC limitation and use Simhub gap calculation to provide you some data.
- When you want to see if you're catching your opponents without watching ACC laptimes pretty often. This allows you to not do the calculations by yourself and focus on race.
Important
The gap evolution is relevant only after an entire lap (or more) ahead/behind the same car(s) !
The gap is not measured on the same point of the track than it is for your opponent. I use the realtime gap provided by simhub. That means that when the gap is measured, your opponent has traveled a difference distance than you. This can lead to imprecisions/variations, for example if the measurement is made when your opponent is under brake or under throttle after/before a turn.
But what matters the most with this overlay, is the gap evolution. The measurement is always done on the same track position relatively to you. That allows to compare the evolution over two laps.
Other overlays included : Leaderboard and leaders
Setup
Then configure Simhub to use it's own gap computation system.
