Yeah, the button mapping and the flags, car logo and name format aren't saving after I restart sim hub. I'll double check but I think I have the latest version. I'm running simhub 8.1.2View attachment 612978

The flags only work in single player with a particular name format.

Try the latest plugin version

I didn't have the latest version. The settings are now saving.
Still can't get the car manufacturers logo to show but have ran out of time to test today. I'll give it another go tomorrow.
Thank you

OK, small wins

What cars are you racing?

winstoncup · Oct 30, 2022

Mostly the Porsche flat 6. I can't get enough of them lol
Maybe if I used a GT3 or something similar, it'll work. I'm at work and can't test it now but I'll be off work the next 4 days to get some racing in.

Also is there a simple way to change the kpa and Celsius to psi and Fahrenheit?
Nevermind, I think I found the answer. Will try in the morning

The tire app turn bright red when only at 100 degrees F? Tires are still cold and should show blue like RF2 tire app.

Hi there!

Ahhhh yes, rF2 tyres.

Some of the cars are on the old tyre model (for example the GT3's *correct at time of writing*) , some are on the new tyre model (for example GTE).

If the old tyre model you can pretty much abuse the tyres as much as you like. The new tyre model, if you abuse them they wear out and flat spot very easily.

That said, the new tyres will be effected by quite a lot of things, like road temperature for example.

<EDIT:>
As I generally race cars with the new tyre model, and temperatures in the new tyre model are more sensitive to temperature, I've tailored the app to that.
<END EDIT>

I've found that, generally speaking, if you get near 100°C then I have more tyre(s) wear on that tyre(s) and more likely to flat spot that tyre(s).

So, it's just my personal preference really (according to my terrible driving style!)

Feel free to change the colours in the tyre app to whatever you think is best - all of the overlays are customisable.

Hope that helps

I think what jawracing is saying is that he has his settings on Fahrenheit but the overlays colors are changing as if it's Celsius. I would like to change the measurements to imperial but this stuff is way over my head and I haven't figured out how to do it. With that being said, I've been learning to use the metric measurements

Thanks for the updates. These overlays are the best for me in rf2.

Yes, it could be that

Doh.

Yes, if @jawracing , if you have your settings set to Fahrenheit then the colours will definitely be wrong

SORRY!

So, easy fix is to set Simhub Settings, Temperature Unit to Celcius - which will give correct colours until I can figure out a way of reading the settings...

Apologies for the misunderstanding!!

Yeap, that's what it was. Making the switch to metric was the answer. Now all I have to do is pretend I can do split second conversions in my head! It's all good though. Thanks brother.

I've figured out a way to change it based on your preferences - will post an update when I have a chance!

Even with the new dashes?
I think when you change the units in the settings then click out of the settings and change the screen, the setting change then gets updated

Awesome update!!
Everything seems to be working as expected here. Is there any way to get the leaderboard track temp and temp to read Fahrenheit also? Not a big deal if you can't but that's the only place I'm seeing Celsius now.
Love the overlays
