Added as much Automobilista support as I could...
Not every feature works (like RF2 does) as the data just is not given..
But there should be enough there for most of you..
F1 2019 added..
Other tweaks and 'under the hood twerks'...
Enjoy..

Lots of tweaks and minor additions - can't be bothered to mention them all...
But...
Something for the F1 fans included (Don't forget to install the fonts in the _SHFonts folder)
Nothing major updated in this one but a complete overwrite of all files is (as usual) required.
I have mainly been adding some custom class icon tweaks as requested by a few users...
So a few more to pick from in AC and RF2..
Also a custom F1 2018 console 'name changer' option that allows you to fill an external text file with correct names linked to the car number - currently it just gives you a driver ID number but this allows correct names to be shown in the leaderboards (turn on/off in the additional plugins section)...
DO NOT DELETE ANY LINES in the GarySwallowF12018DriverNames.txt file (found in the DashTemplates/GS-Options folder)....simply change the names on the right hand side....
Make sure to edit it with Simhub CLOSED.
Also for OBS users there are some screenshots in there of how to do the 'green screen' transparency for OBS...
FRESH INSTALLATION NEEDED DUE TO FILE LOCATION MOVEMENTS
Updated and removed a lot of duplicate/not needed files..reducing the download from 103MB to approx 36MB
Updates to a lot of things so I cannot be bothered to list them all.
RF2 Spy has had some major updates - but I have found that a lot of cars (both user created AND official) miss certain datapoints from the game (or give random crap numbers) so how well it works may depend on the car you are observing!!!
Lots of tweaks and additions to the plugin.
AC Classes: You will now find GarySwallowACClass.txt file inside the "GS - TV Style Side Leaderboard" folder.
This will allow you to manually assign class icons to specific cars.
Currently available icons are listed (with my specific class reference name) in the ACClassLookup.pdf file in the same folder.
This shows the current icons..more to be added later.
Simply add your specific car folder name and the correct class name you want to use like this:
bmw_m3_e92_drift=Drift
You will see the examples (most default folders already listed) in this file.
Save the file then open Simhub to use them.
AC Car Names: These should now look better on the scrolling leaderboard with the 'KS', hyphens and underscore characters removed automatically...
RF2Spy: scaled and tweaked values to read correctly etc.. better consistency now..
Updated some classes in PCars and RRRE
#### REPLACE ALL FILES PLEASE ####
-Gary
I have had to update the DLL file due to an update with latest Simhub 6.7.1 release that included a new RF2 plugin...resulting in the error log filling up.
You just need to replace the DLL file if you have already installed 4.5...
#### UPDATE/OVERWRITE ALL FILES ####
I have changed a lot behind all of the files so please update everything..the dll...the options file...EVERYTHING!!!!
#BONUS: Added custom theme option - add the hex colour references into the options file BEFORE opening Simhub...then choose 'Custom Theme' from my Additional Plugins tab.
#Reworked some flag stuff
#Reworked Battle screen
#Updated all leaderboards..
lots of stuff....
Let me know any issues
If you feel you want to buy me a beer for my troubles please donate here:

Many thanks
Rewritten lots of stuff to work directly from the plugin instead of using code within the Simhub editor - more efficient for running (and updating in future).
PLEASE REPLACE ALL FILES!!!!!! (including options and plugin)
OBS Mode added:
- Run the dash
- Tick the option in the plugin options window
- Window capture in OBS
- Color Key filter on #ff008000
- see screenshots in zip file for example
Up to 60 drivers
Various tweaks
Auto adjusting height (Side Leaderboard)
RF2 Spy
Don't forget to replace the plugin!!!!
Let me know any issues
Right then....
Flags are now an individual overlay - not part of the side leaderboard.
Fastest Lap is now an individual overlay - not part of the side leaderboard.
Battle for 'X' is now an individual overlay - not part of the side leaderboard.
#PutThemWhereYouLikeThem (or not..Overlay file included).
The side leaderboard is now auto-sizing to the number of players if less than 20..
The side leaderboard will not overwrite the old one so you need to delete the old side leaderboard (v3.6) folder...
(I am trying to get organised a bit so some names have been changed etc..)
Now includes a small README file in the zip for those that cannot read the installation instructions on the front page.....
NO UPDATES TO THE OTHER 2 (Scrolling and RF2 Timesheet)..
Plugin has had a small update so will need replacing.
DON'T FORGET TO COPY THE OPTIONS FILE TO THE CORRECT PLACE OR SIMHUB WILL NOT LIKE IT!!!!!!
Let me know how you all get on
Side leaderboard now works with HTML again...yay
Lots of tweaks and code optimisation..hopefully you should not get ANY errors or warnings in the Simhub log files now..(let me know if you do)
* NEW RF2 LEADERBOARD *
This one is not intended to be displayed OVER your game screen.
Use a 2nd monitor to display it.
ONLY FOR RF2!!!! - Multi and Spectator mode.
I made this to assist commentators.
Let me know what you think..
P.S. you need to update the plugin as well.
Copy all folders/files to relevant locations and overwrite
Major update
SPECTATOR MODE FOR RF2 - update Simhub to 'unlock'.
40 drivers visible on BOTH leaderboards.
Auto switching between 1-20 and 21-40 etc..
If in a timed session it now counts instead of showing number of laps.
Or shows laps if applicable.
If tyres are selected it hides pits count always.
If tyres de-selected it shows pit count always.
New options added:
Flags on/off - does what it says.
Lap Count Toggle - override the timings with current lap count per driver - turn on/off on demand (ideal for commentator/spectator mode).
You need to install all 4 files (don't forget to unblock the dll).
NOW SAVES YOUR SETTINGS
Copy the OPTIONS file into the root folder of SimHub
Install the F1 fonts from the fonts folder on to your PC..then check the F1 2018 tick box for new style..
The font is not perfect but will be updated as soon as I get a better font..
Added ALL class icons for RRRE..(apart from the Porsche 911s that do not have class data for some reason)
BOTH leaderboards updated with all fixes.
+ tweaks for IRacing names not appearing
+ other minor aesthetic issues
Added RRRE support and a beta to side leaderboard for IRacing..
+ some tweaks for Pepa
IRacing flags not tested - I need a replay that triggers all flags if someone has one.
RRRE seems to work ok but I have not been able to trigger all flags yet.. let me know
Minor fixes and tweaks but added THEMES
Choose a colour scheme to suit you mood.
RF2 tyre compound info selector in options.
Scroll speed option
Removed the 'battle' screen for practice sessions as it does not show sensible data.
DNF and DQ if available
Pit count resets between session entry/exit (P/Q/R) correctly now rather than combining.
Fixed movement up/down from start position if you do practice/qualify/race in one session..it was basing your movement on the grid position of the start of the session (practice) so if you started the race in a different position you were already shown as lost/gained.
Fixed some 'log filling' issues.
MAKE SURE TO USE THE NEW PLUGIN
+ other fixes.
All leaderboards updated so you need to use the new plugin included.
Added 'battle for 4th/8th etc' random popup to the side leaderboard as a test.
Added a scroll speed up/down button in Simhub plugin properties tab so you can adjust the horizontal leaderboard scroll speed.
It gets jerky the faster you go so use wisely..
Let me know if you have any issues...
Major update to the longer bottom scrolling board:
Added RF2 as it was missing.
Added gap/delta.
Added positions lost/gained.
Still only first 20 opponents....for now..
RF2 scrolling is still very slow!!
Both:
Added more class icons for RF2 to both leaderboards.
+some under the hood tweaks
