Forza Motorsport (FM8) UI for SimHub - All UI elements for SimHub

[Gears]
-Dynamic tachometer + redlines
-Changing colors for certain tire compounds
-ERS & DRS support for compatible cars
-Tire temps and wear indicators, for temps, cold-optimal-hot==blue-white-orange
-Color of 2D car changes to red based on damage

I think the tachometer would work better if the values for the RPM matched up with the car settings (CarSettings_MaxRPM for the max RPM, CarSettings_RedLineRPM for the redline), and the tachometer's rev bar had a red section for the redline that starts from the car settings redline and goes up to the max RPM (Also from car settings of course), following the normal white rev bar for how it shows the RPM, just starting from redline instead of zero.

Good suggestions and yeah I just chose the path of least resistance for now. Sometimes it’s so overly complicated and time consuming just to make a little piece work. I’ll keep trying for the next update. Thanks.

Changes v1.1

Big thanks to Forzurda for helping with some aspects

Jmike4649 updated Forza Motorsport (FM8) UI for SimHub with a new update entry:

Changes v1.2

[Gears]
-Fixed a rounding error for certain redlines

[Laps/Messages]
-Each message ‘grouping’ (top/mid/bottom) will now stack with each other, meaning that if any message appears alone, it will be shown at the top first, moving down only if another message group appears over it.
-Added ‘Off Track’ warning message
-Messages with a black background will flash orange very quickly at first

I’ve just confirmed now that all the overlays work properly on a pc that never had simhub or AC installed on it before. Still interesting though, did you install the dashboard fonts when first opening the files? Are you using the WPF renderer (Dash Studio->Settings->Performance)? It seems like some parts of the overlays are edited - there are white borders around the tires, among other things, that I didn’t put there. I see no reason for some parts of the leaderboard to be invisible and others visible, especially parts that are just a simple black box for the background.

Hiya, unzipped and double clicked each item to install. Then added this to the overlay as already ran it using simhub with FM8 ;O)
....for races the leaderboard shows ok. just the text is a bit odd.

No, didn't prompt anything.

Yes.
 
Having issue with adding laps and messages widget. Reinstall doesn't help
Are you on the latest simhub version?
Does it appear in the overlays section but not when you want to add it to a layout? If yes maybe try to create a new overlay yourself, then copy all the elements from mine to the new one, set the dimensions and positioning to be the same and then see if it works.
