This option is awesome.. I get a better view of RPMs vs shift point and the Radar is just fantastic. I have even found out how to show how I'm braking and accelerating with the telemetry graph. Issue is, it's great for practice and qualifying, but sometimes when a race starts they all move to their default locations. While waiting on the Red Lights to go out, I have to quickly move and size them to my liking. This is getting old and blows my concentration for a good clean start. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
I assume you're talking about OtterHUD. dash.exe only reads game data from shared memory and creates an easily-accessible stream of it. Then, a browser-based application, like OtterHUD for example, reads this stream and uses it in its HUD. Anyway, I'm not sure I heard about such issue before. I know OtterHUD allows you to save several layouts and switch between them, maybe that's somehow related to your issue? Another thing that might be worth checking out is this folder: Documents\My games\SimBin\RaceRoom Racing Experience\BrowserData. OtterHUD and other web-based HUDs (there a couple more of them but they all have less functionality than OtterHUD) stores its settings there. Lastly, OtterHUD was not update for three years already and will never be, the source code is lost. It has its issue, the worst of them is "white screen" that is caused be OtterHUD crashing and then restarting without transparent background, so you can't see anything on your screen and it's basically a race over. Usually ReHUD is recommended instead: https://forum.kw-studios.com/index.php?threads/rehud-a-custom-overlay-for-raceroom.19143/ But it has less functionality and has its own issues and quirks too. The main one is that it doesn't work when the game is in fullscreen, you need to use either windowed or borderless window mode.
I'm doing this.. with no other things.. and it's totally awesome.. just not in configured places when most races start. https://github.com/sector3studios/webhud I run dash.exe before or after I run RaceRoom and move/resize items to suit. It was perfect for a few weeks and now sometimes loses my movements/sizes after practice and qualifying just as the red lights come on to begin a race. I'd love to see these as features in the game if there is no support. It really helps me add to my performance.
Yeah, that's one of the web-based HUDs. Not sure why it loses settings. I would try deleting this folder: Documents\My games\SimBin\RaceRoom Racing Experience\BrowserData Your HUD settings will be wiped, but maybe they'll be properly saved this time. Yeah, would've been great if we had stuff like that natively in the game.
I deleted that folder and nothing happened.. the config was not lost.. not sure what was in there, but I guess I haven't needed it. I still have the issue. not sure if anyone watches this addon at github or not.. I'll post a comment over there and see what happens.. the sim is still awesome
Maybe you have several "RaceRoom Racing Experience" folders at that path? Then probably the last one is the currently active one, you need to delete BrowserData in there.
