Hi!
Yeah, it is another update, with some major changes. Maybe not as big as the last time, rather improvements, addition, fixes. The changelog:
Added: Support for the telephones with wide-screen (the classification screen was not changed as it is easier to read quickly when the informations are bunched up)
Added: Last lap practice screen. During the practice session after each lap you will see the screen with fuel usage last lap and the tire wear last lap for each specific tire
Added: Mode: Slow Lap (triggered with Action D), for F2 cars mostly, as they don't have the charge mode. I did that to give you the opportunity to see the distance between you and the driver ahead/behind during for example preparations in quali
Added: Versions with RPM Gauge
Added: In the Quali screen the ERS at the bottom will present the usage during the lap, as you can lost the ERS before the start/finish line
Changed: Damage Screen, now front wing issues will be showing up there as it makes more sense. The moment you destroy the front wing the short popup will popup on the main screen and it will disappear. The front wing damage will continue to be visible in the damage screen. You will see
Changed: Last lap race screen redesigned. Now you will see the last lap of a driver ahead or behind if you are at P1
Changed: Pit Limiter screen
Changed: F2 dash: positions of speed and DRS, and some code changes
Fixed: Damage screen was not showing up correctly
Fixed: Mode Settings and Mode Damage are now more visible
Fixed: Blue Flag was disappearing too fast
Fixed: Fonts, there were inconsistent
Fixed: lines and the positioning
Fixed: A lot of code is simplified
Fixed: A lot of small things which were bothering and I which I missed during the redesign
At this moment, I do not have any ideas for the future. Probably something will popup then I will update the dash, or if any bugs show up. But for now, thank you all for the journey and whole support of the project
Hi Guys!
It's time for a Christmas present! Completely new version of the dash inspired by Mercedes and Ferrari real life dashes. Better. Faster. Prettier. With new features.
I spent another around 100 hours redesigning, thinking, writing and rewriting the code, fixing the bugs and adding new features. I would really appreciate the donation through PayPal.me. Many, many thanks for that!
You need SimHub to run it. And many thanks to EduCalza, Gary Swallow for their work.
The screen automatically adjust to F1/F2/Classic cars.
Write a review if you like this dash or use discussion tab if you need help
There is a huge guideline with many photos in the .rar. If you need any help use the discussion tab. I will do my best to help you
What's new?
1. New layout - pretty obvious
2. New things in F2/Classic Cars versions
3. Damage Screen (you will see the "Check Warning" when you have problems with DRS, Engine, Gearbox or Flatspot, then you have to trigger Action B button to see what is the problem).
4. Setting screen (as you do not have to change diff or brake balance to often it is on the seperate screen)
5. And many, many small changes. Like engine temp warning will now popup when the temp is too high, no longer raw value (who cared really?), Top speed is gone - usless feature,
What's coming?
1. Optional RPM bar - maybe during Christmas time
2. Adjustment to the telephones
3. TBC - let me know what do you need, what are your ideas!
Hey,
so after many weeks, I have another update for you! Today, I don't bring a lot of changes rather a few:
- Added: Penalties in current classifications screen (they only show penalties for corner cutting)
- Added: Last lap screen in full quali will present:
In Q1 - your best lap and lap of a driver on P15
In Q2 - your best lap and lap of a driver on P10
In Q3 - your best lap and lap of a driver on P1
Enjoy
Hey,
After two weeks I decided to add one more screen which is more useful than the in game one - that is the map. Remember: you need to bind "Action B" to be able to use that screen.
Also few small tweaks - nothing worth mentioning.
Enjoy
It is the definitive update I believe, as there not many things which I could add to dash at this point. Rather few small tweaks or fixes if needed. Or maybe if I have some great idea then I will create version 7.0 but for now, it is last major update.
As always, leave a review if you like my job and maybe consider donating through Paypal.me - https://www.paypal.me/javliar
Version 6.0 brings new things - current classification screen for example and there are a lot of improvements and bug fixes. There are three versions of the dash so read a guide (it is in the folder). Everything is explained there.
The main idea for this update was to improve visibility and to hide information which are not vital - and changed them to a popup - for example: front wing damage will appear only when you really have damage. Otherwise, what is the point of having that information?
It is the biggest update I have ever made and thank you for supporting me through this journey. I am sure there are many things ahead.
But without further due - the changelog.
- Added: Current classification - designed for MyTeam (with 22 drivers) but can be used in multiplayer as well. Read a guide to configurate SimHub correctly
- Added: "Mode: Warm Up" Screen, first you have to map the button in SimHub - again: read a guide (it is inside a folder). The screen helps you while preparing during a formation lap or before final quali lap. The screen is not automatic, it will pop-up only when you press the "Action A" button. Inside there are both tires temperatures - the surface and inner. I also raised minimal values of the tire temperatures on that screen - I believe it should be a bit higher before the race start. Screen is available in all session and is compatible with all possible tyres.
- Added: current gear now turns to red color when it is an optimal (in my opinion) position to change the gear - created for F1 and F2. Classic cars don't have that feature (too many variables)
- Added: A huge guide - what is where, how to "read" the dash, how to install everything properly .pdf inside the folder
- Added: three different versions. There is a version with classification, without it and with overlay. Read a guide - everything is there.
- Redesigned: IDLE Screen and Last lap Quali screen - the game does not support all the functions which were there (read a guide to find what is there now)
- Changed: Overtake active - is now a bit smaller. Why? If you prefer to see the ERS number all the time - now you have that opportunity
- Changed: The front wing damage is now a popup - if you have any damages it will show up on the top and stay there (it is a better solution I believe)
- Changed: Penalties is also a popup now. It is easier - you do not have to look at "0" all the time
- Changed: SYNC Screen will now be visible in all practice session when you drive F1 modern car (because F1 drivers do it during every practice session and quali session. I didn't add it to quali because - still, it is a video game), classic cars avoided for Dash scaling reasons
- Changed: RPM bar colors on the "start mode screen" changed once more (it is important for me to get the colors right - because the start is crucial)
- Changed: "Brake warning" is now an avarage of all four tires (earlier it was only front left), will popup below 180 degrees in F1 and above 1000. (In F2 its 300 and 1000), feature disabled in classic cars (too many variables)
- Changed: The size of "Brakes warning"
- Changed: Visibility of flags improved - after few races I decided that they overlap with "DRS" widget from time to time - not acceptable for me, so all the flags have a new position now
- Changed: Safety Car screen changed a bit; in F2 "Current Stint" is moved to the right side for clarity
- Changed: a lot of coding has been changed to improve the speed of the dash
- Changed: Positions in F2 screen
- Changed: Top speed is now visible in classic cars
- Changed: "Mode" labels now have their own versions for F1/F2 and Classic Cars - for the sake of consistency and readability. Also, "FMIX" is now improved for F2 and Classic Cars dash
- Fixed: Engine temp was not displayed correctly when you use classic cars
- Fixed: "Race Start Mode" screen now has classic cars widget (Clutch In - not revs)
- Fixed: Brake Bias is now visible in F2
- Fixed: Last lap screen was not correctly displayed in Time Trial
- Fixed: IDLE screen sector times - were not displayed correctly
- Fixed: Next improvements in tire temperatures
- Fixed: FMIX and ERS notification - now are in the middle of their designated area, it bothered me that they are not
- Fixed: Tyre temperatures tweaked a little bit
- Fixed: lines were not adjusted correctly in VSC and PIT Screen - it was like 2 pixels but it must be perfect
- Fixed: Next improvements in F2 screen
- Fixed: Mode Charge is not available in F2/Classic cars (they do not have batteries to charge)
- Fixed: The problem when sometimes the dash was not working with classic cars
- Fixed: in general - every single line was touched in this update (I have no idea if that is perfectionism or stupidity?)
Known issues:
- the last lap screen does not work in MyTeam
- issue with screen: "Mode Charge" and "Mode: Slow Lap" - it does not show up properly

The changlog today will be massive.
After the release of the version 4.0 I started to work on version 5.0 which I believe takes this dash to a whole new level. I added so many new functions and added many new functions and implementations.
As always, leave a review if you like my job and maybe consider donating through Paypal.me - I really put a lot of effort to this dash.
Remember! There is a new name of the dash. It was required to avoid issues. There are two files inside the folder:
F1 2020 - Dashboard v.5.0 by Javliar
F1 2020 - Overlay v.5.0 by Javliar (it is visible in dash studio - overlays)
But what is in the update? Well, find our yourself
- Added: Full F2 and Classic implementation, dash scaling perfectly now to F2 cars and classic (in classic mode there are a few limitations but I did what I can to overcame them). F2 preview available in preview section below.
- Added: Brake temperature window (if they are too cold/hot, you will get the notification about it) - color coded of course
- Added: F2 Start Mode
- Added: F1/F2 Pit Lane Start Mode (earlier - "Mode: Race Start" was showing up after pit stop, now it will "Mode: Pit Lane Start")
- Added: F2 and Classic cars Engine temperature map
- Added: in last lap quali screen difference between sectors added (color coded)
- Added: Pit limiter screen now has "Mode: Pit Lane" to add realism to it
- Added: A lot of new logos to IDLE Screen like: Porsche, Ford etc. (based on packages from RaceDepartment)
- Redesigned: F2 functionalities, the dash will adjust itself even better with improved positioning (for example penalties, top speed etc.)
- Redesigned: ERS bar - it now has different color and "red rectangles" are now after every 5% (earlier 10%)
- Redesigned: Position data - now it only shows your position as number of drivers was not adjusting automatically = it was useless
- Redesigned: Safety Car screen - now there is more yellow color to make the SC more visible and faster to see
- Redesigned: RPM bar colors on the "start mode screen" changed
- Fixed: start mode screen - RPM fixed etc.
- Fixed: brake bias, differential - yellow color while using overtake was visible on the sides, not it will not
- Fixed: Charge mode fixed (it was triggered in race as well - which was not intended)
- Fixed: last lap quali screen - sectors fixed (now it is showing time in a correct form)
- Fixed: FMIX and ERS Mode screen are now a bit bigger
- Fixed: Quali mode screen - sometimes did not showed up
- Fixed: Quali mode screen - improved sizes
- Fixed: Overtake Active screen - size improve
- Fixed: F1 Generic multiplayer cars now have ERS functions displayed
- Fixed: Classic cars do not have "Mode: Race Start" screen as it is impossible to set RPMs for each car
- Fixed: Few small font sizes changed
- Fixed: And many, many other things which you will not notice at the first glance at the dash, but they are there I promise.
What is planned?
- Two more screens with current classification
- Color of RPMs in the "Start Mode" - there will be changes, I am looking for the best combinations of colors.
Known issues:
- Engine temp is not displayed correctly when you use classic cars
- Last lap screen does not work correctly in Time Trial
- Last lap quali screen - sectors are still broken
- IDLE screen sector times - not displayed correctly
- Sync screen displayed only in P1 - it will change to all practice sessions
- Last lap screen fix in My Team mode
