iOverlay is brilliant. I did not know that is what Race Control was for. Going to use that while spotting for my son in the 500 tonight. The one thing I haven’t seen you use that I really like is the Spotter bars. They are a combination of Spotter Lights and Radar. It’s really handy for knowing exactly how close you are to clearing a car or being clear. And they often let me know about a gap before my audio spotter when he is being chatty about multiple things at once.

The race control is nice for afterwards going though incidents but also in endurance as spotter to quickly go to new incidents to check if they could effect you.

Seconded on the spotter bars. Best I found, especially for free.

It's a good bit of kit, been using it for a while. In regards to it being free, initially it was going to go paid when it came out of beta but the lead dev has changed his mind and will keep it free due to how popular it has become. That was said on the discord a few months ago, so unless they changed their minds again and I missed it, it should be free forever. You can buy them a coffee if you really like it and want to support them.

Already using it for a very long time. One of the best things (imo) is the fuel calc. It’s nearly always bang on! Big big kudo’s do the (Dutch) developer and still offering it for free! Fir the rest it gives you what you need, highly customizable and low on system resources. And the race control screen is a banger to see incidents.

I've been using iOverlay for a couple months now. I started using it right before the Roar before the 24 special event. For me, not doing multiclass much, the Traffic Indicator overlay was a killer feature. Pretty sure it helped me survive the whole race.

Hey guys looking for some help. I would love to try this but the issue I have is I am running my iracing at 1920x1080, which is not native resolution. So in order to have it work in windowed mode it make s it run like garbage cause it bumps me to native resolution of 3840x2160. My poor potato cant handle that. Is there a work around? Thanks in advance.

@AndreMiguelLopes69 3 ай бұрын

Racelabs, a bit more ram and cpu. But on a modern system I think it's unnoticeable. This uses 350 MB and RaceLabs 1GB with the same 4 overlays that I use. Racelabs for me is prettier, but iOverlays has everthing for free and with less system resources if that is a problem for some. I started using it at a 2nd take. At first I return to Racelabs. But now I'm on iOverlays for stay I think !

Thanks for describing iOverlay. I've wondered what features it has. But RaceLabs still has so much more. If you're using Free RaceLabs these same features are available (minus Track Map). Yet RaceLabs has more than the ones you've described here. Plus RaceLabs paid version has even more great overlays that i haven't seeing other overlays build yet. Examples (free version): Blind spot indicators; horizontal standings; Custom Dash Panel with # of laps remaining or time remaining, track temp, RPM, Brake bias all in one overlay. (Paid version) has +15 overlays including: Radar, input telemetry, Head2Head sectors, laptime comparision vs the field.

@RX120D 3 ай бұрын

The problem is your keyboard not the application. Your keyboard defaults to requiring the FN button to use the function keys instead of the assigned controls on those keys (volume, audio playback controls, etc...) My keyboard is the opposite, requiring the FN button to control volume for example and allowing the use of the unassigned function keys by default. @@StudioDaVeed
