Let me know what apps you can't race without and which one is your favourite 👍🏻

ACC Drive is an app that I use all the time. It has a lot of overlays, similar to Race Labs, although the look is a bit less fancy. It does the job very well. F.e. track map, fuel calculations, radar, tyre data, standings (with LFM / iRacing rating). It also had a lot of engineer info when you look at it when you are in the pit (avg tyre temp, brake temps, etc). And it can start your other required apps. Really good app.

Simhub because i realised that Arduino Nano is not a Hid device so the button box function will not work and the only way yo make it work is via through simhub😂😂😂😂

I use DRE (Digital Race Engineer) as an alternative to Crew Chief. It has some features above Crew Chief and does some better than Cre Chief. Give it a go, there is a free version.

@@thesimracingshaolinstudent it shows screen with this 1.Time to time anti-virus applications could start blocking the application. Please try to add RaceLab to the white list of your anti-virus application. Anti-virus application sometimes also have a 'live protection' section where the application can be also blocked. Make sure you whitelist RaceLab there too. 2. RaceLab is using port 8080, which is essential for the application to run properly. Sometimes other applications can use the same port which will conflict with RaceLab when you're trying to start it. 3. How to check if port 8080 is used? Open 'Resource Manager' in windows, go to 'Network' tab and check the 'listening ports' section. Go through the list to check if port 8080 is there and you will see which application is using it. I followed the instructions but nothing worked.
