    Hello everyone,
    After a long absence from Race Room, I completely reinstalled and reconfigured RRE today. Before installing RRE, I deleted all old, existing folders to ensure that no old configurations remained. The reinstallation worked fine, but the problems started in the pits.

    Although I have assigned a button on my steering wheel for ignition and another for starter, the engine won't start and I'm really at a loss as to how to fix the problem.

    Since I mainly drive in VR, I am surprised by the extremely small displays of the virtual mirror and the HUD displays. I have also assigned buttons on the steering wheel for HUD distance and HUD scaling/moving. When I use these buttons, nothing happens at all.

    Therefore, I would be very grateful for any tips and help in solving my problems. When I last used RRE 2-3 years ago, everything worked fine, so I'm very surprised and disappointed right now.

    Thank you very much for your support.

    I don't know about vr, but normally you press the button the unlock the hud elements and then use the mouse (hold right click) to drag and drop them or hold left click to resize them.

    thanks for your advice and I will give it a try. Usually I do that in VR-mode but maybe in RRE works different and all adjustments must be done first in 2D mode. Could be and I will let you know.

    Is it possible to resize the positionbar and pitmenu. In VR it is still very smal and almost unreadable. Semms resizing via unlock button and right mouse button doesn't work. Any tips and support available from the community here?
