ACC Modular HUD Components - ACC HUD Overlays

Now that I have learned a bit more about simhub, I created some modular items so you can have a more personalized HUD if you want. In my case, I like to see the in-car Dash and the default tachometer is to bright and calls to much attention to the eye. Some items I did not extract as they are quite visible in the Dash, like ABS and TC, some cars don't show Brake Bias(eg. M4).

Attached here are 4 Overlays:

- Ignition/Engine/Fuel Status:
-> Start...

Not sure if it's just me, but the indicators are always flashing and the fuel overlays do not work. SimHub version 7.3.0 and most recent ACC version.

All my other overlay bits work fine, just none from this pack seem to work? Any clue what I might have done wrong?

slemke updated ACC Modular HUD Components with a new update entry:

General performance tweaks and colorized Brake Bias

- Performance adjustments: use full 'layering', so only one conditional check is needed for all the Engine, Ignition and Empty Fuel Layers.

- Brake Bias: Colorized in yellow the in use bias, font size adjustment to better escalate with the icon.
- Blinkers overlay will only work with Ignition one.

I just downloaded the ones here from the page and they worked fine.

I added an update, now for the blinkers they will only work if the ignition is on, this may or may not help you.
Note also those are 4 different overlays you have to create 'New Overlay Layout' and add all the 4, and lastly, the Fuel only appears if the ignition is on and the Engine is running and the in Tank is 0.

I've tried the new files & sadly still the same thing. I've attached two screens below for you, my other sim hub overlays work fine just nothing with this one which is a shame as the ignition one is really handy.

 

[slemke]

Could you check this one?

Overlays - Google Drive

drive.google.com

If it works I will create another update.

It seems in your image that the text 'Ignition Off' goes aways correctly, but the blue background stays.

 

[Oreos]

Tried that one & also nothing.

Tried uninstalling the old one, reinstall this one, make a new layout, use my existing layout. I'm sure this isn't me being thick

 

[slemke]

No worries, if something is not working accordingly there must be some catch, that's how software works

Have you configured ACC on simghub, so it looks like this:

Maybe without that simhub cannot retrieve some infos like ignition status.

Also, if that's not the case I may create another version much dedicated to this blue square, thanks for reporting back!

 

[Oreos]

Yep, my settings are the exact same as yours. All my other overlays work fine, never had an issue with installing them but something about these just don't work right. Shame as the ignition one is really good!

Improve the connections to the game feed.

- This should make the overlays always work without depending on 3rd party libraries. Possible fix for the problem mentioned in comment #2

[Oreos]

Everything works now! Whatever you did it fixed it in 00.5

Thank you!

 

[slemke]

Oh nice to hear!

I can tell you: The former version where retrieving some infos using the `ACC-CDS - Complete Dash Set` made by Ensi Ferrum instead of pulling direct from the game, for such simple overlays it should not depend on 3rd library/plugins, so it now gets the data direct from the game.

 

[Oreos]

That will be why mine didn't work then as I do not have that installed. Keep up the great work on these!

slemke updated ACC Modular HUD Components with a new update entry:

Fuel Rewamp, Track and Air temps more sensitive

Fuel has gotten a nice feature:
1- It shows percentage of used fuel;
2- It now blinks when you reach 50% of fuel consumption (blinks until 52% is consumed), so you can better calculate if you are good or need to save for the rest of the stint.

Air / Track:
More sensitive: instead showing only ex: 39C it will now show decimals, ex: 39.25C, which can make it easier to identify if the track/air is getting hotter or colder.

This one has taken some long time to tweak, but seems the fuel calculations are really good now.

Limit Blink more

Blinking can be a distraction, it will now only blink if fuel in tank is only enough for 2 laps. This doen't mean you will not have enough, it means you have 2 laps to go. I learned that a good practice is to end with an extra lap on tank anyway.
- This updaye changes only the fuel V3.
