Minimalistic Overlays

Minimalistic Overlays 1.2.1

I never felt completetly comfortable with the default HUD elements, especially the Speedo.
The "full" one is too big and dark, while the "minimal" is too small and is hard to see the rpm and speed unless you focus on it. And you can't resize any of them.
Most of SimHub overlays I found are actually made to give even more information, and I wanted something simple to look at while racing, and to be able to resize it.

I've been having fun with SimHub and made a single overlay, keeping AMS2's style, with useful information for the driver, minimalistic but well visible. It's meant to be used with the default car info HUD element, I don't have any problems with that one.
But maybe later I'll add a simple tyre temp and wear overlay, similar to the one included in the "minimal" speedo.

Features:
-Included a right-bottom-corner version and a central version (I like that one in some cars).
-Speed unit changes according to your settings.
-Max rpm shown change according to car.
-When cars have > 10000 max rpm, labels are alternated so it's not too bloated.
-Gauge changes to orange and then red near the rpm limiter.
-ABS, TC, DRS and dynamic BOOST info.
-Fuel percent and laps remaining (in old LCD style ;) )
-Water temp.
-Shift light works when RPM red line is reached.
(AMS2 doesn't provide redline values to simhub, and I noticed in game it's usually 96 - 97 % of max rpm, so set that in SimHubs settings)

To use: you only need to have simhub installed, unzip the file and double click on the "lateral" and "central" files, so they are imported to your Dash Studio section. From there you can create overlay layouts the way you want!
I hope you like them and finde them useful.
I appreaciate feedback and ideas!

Do you prefer licensed hardware?

  • Yes for me it is vital

  • Yes, but only if it's a manufacturer I like

  • Yes, but only if the price is right

  • No, a generic wheel is fine

  • No, I would be ok with a replica
