Misc Lovely Dashboard JUST A PICTURE

[cdemetriadis]

Interesting! I was looking for weather conditions, but did not spot this. I'll take a look tonight... Thanks man!

OK, so here's my follow up on this (I have not opened SimHub yet, just R&D).

The enums for the rain intensity are as follows:
ACC_NO_RAIN = 0
ACC_DRIZZLE = 1
ACC_LIGHT_RAIN = 2
ACC_MEDIUM_RAIN = 3
ACC_HEAVY_RAIN = 4
ACC_THUNDERSTORM = 5

Which means, I know if it will rain or not and how much, in the near future. BUT, this does not include weather in general (clear, overcast, cloudy etc). What does ACC do now? Does it just show a cloud even if it's clear and sunny? I don't remember, tbh.

it just shows an icon based on the value. One for now, one for in 10 and one for in 30. Icons are as shown on this video thumbnail:

Yup, got it. I've already implemented this for the next release (sometime this week). I'm just contemplating the UI.

1. Have it under a new Action C and switch between the environment info and the rain, or
2. Have them all displayed on the main screen?

What would you prefer?

I think have them ALL on the main screen, otherwise it's just too many action buttons, especially if mapped to a wheel. Is there room to double stack it with the ambient / track temps? these are things you kinda want to keep an eye on during an endurance race.

Thinking something like this may work.

That looks great!

Lovely Dashboard is by some margin the best SimHub dash I've used to date. Very well designed and has ready access to all the relevant race and car information. Great work!

Is there any possibility of a "Lite" or "Compatible" version in the future, which would work with most other sims? The ACC specific functionality is great, but when used with other sims there are a few anomalies that make it impractical to use. If there could be a stripped-back version, just showing the common basics across most sims, that would be very useful.

I've made a SimHub dash myself (downloadable from RD), which works across almost all sims and presents a common interface. However, mine is nowhere close to the excellent UI design of Lovely Dashboard, and having a "Compatibility" version would be most welcome!

Absolutely on my mind. I don't think I can make this version "as-is" for all sims, but a version for iRacing is definitely coming up.

 

[Luke Fleming]

New version is epic. I can finally remove all the in game on screen hud elements. Great work!

Hey there @Wes Brook, as you are someone who has requested iRacing support, would you like to join the Beta program in Discord and try it out?

That dashboard was very good. Give the same Dashboard for iracing? With all functions? I need it for iRacing I love this dash.

Hi - I did not specifically request iRacing support, I suggested a "Compatibility" version that would function across most other sims, at the cost of some functionality (I don't use iRacing, on account of it being ludicrously priced and having a totally bogus and pointless "protest" system). A "Lite" version, if you will. Something that just picks up the essentials (gear, speed, delta, gaps, tyre/brake temps, flags, limiter, etc.) but in that super clean UI. I've made one myself (cobbled other bits together) that seems to work across all other sims, but does not look anywhere near as nice as Lovely Dash.

Well, this was a progressive misunderstanding. I have now added iRacing support I think the goal is to eventually add support for most popular sims, each with their own specificities. I do not want to have multiple dash versions, but one to accommodate them all.

I love this dash, truly! Can you get the TC and ABS info to work in Automoblista 2?
Thanks in advance.

 

[tajpapa]

Will this work for AC? I don't really play ACC.

AMS2 is on my list. No timeline yet... still need to release iRacing support. Almost there though...

I have not added support for AC yet. iRacing is up next...
