Other "The MFD Replacer" DynHUD Config 1.0

Matt Orr · Feb 29, 2016

Matt Orr submitted a new resource:

"The MFD Replacer" DynHUD Config - I like a clean HUD and I cannot lie.

Why call it the MFD Replacer?
Because it essentially replaces the MFD. My goal for this DynHUD config was to fit all of the information I deem useful in the same prime real-estate that the MFD we all know and love occupies - the bottom right corner.

Thanks to the magic of DynHUD, I've managed to cram in a relative time display, lap count, session time, current lap time, pedal bars, gear, speed and last but certainly not least - a fuel bar. Additional features are a virtual mirror...

Thumbs up, very nice. I like it.
Thanks, Matt.

This is exactly what I was hoping would show up, great idea. Thanks so much.

If anyone could help a software and .ini file illiterate out I'd love to know how to alter this for a 2560 x 1440 resolution?

Might be an idiotic question but how do I actually get it to show up?
I have installed it as you said and have tried binding buttons for it but I can't get it to show up, I can toggle the stock overlay on and off but not your one. Any ideas?

Works great Matt, just took a while to get there lol delta display threw me for a bit, doesn't come up for a few laps unlike the Iracing version

Are you running with DynHUD? You shouldn't need to do anything at all technically once you drop the files in.

I think you might need to select Options > Display > Hud Type > DynHUD the first time then your toggles start to work.

Good stuff Matt. I had to modify it a bit to make it suit my triple screen setup with bezel correction and whatnot. Would it be ok if I shared it here at RD?

Please share it Martin if it's ok with Matt. I have triple screens and everything is compressed one on top of another.

When you open the editor click on File/Open at the top left and open overlay_race.ini, when that files open minimize the editor go into the config folder and delete the overlay_race.ini, change your resolution in the editor make your adjustments then save and you should have a new file with your changes and resolution in the config folder

close the editor and go into the config folder, open overlay_race.ini and copy all the contents then open overlay.ini select all and paste then save

you might have to change font size and make some small adjustments here and there to get it the same as Matts, I also created a new background in my resolution which I saved in Editor/backgrounds/Reiza T-cam

I don't know if thats the right process but it was the only way I could get it to work for me

Matt, is there any way that I or anyone else could edit this to put it above the pit related stuff?

Matt Orr · Mar 6, 2016

Open the editor, click and drag the widgets around.

@Martin Vindis - please hold off for now. I'm going to see if I can figure out a way to include multiple resolutions in one file. I'd rather do it that way so there is one file rather than a different download for everyone's different resolution. If I can't figure out how to make that work I'll let you know.

k_badam · Mar 6, 2016

Matt, I can open the editor, drag the stuff into my preferred places and save it but it stills shows up behind the pit related stuff.

Matt Orr · Mar 6, 2016

Read the instructions.

You can't make it appear in front of it, you need to make it toggle when you turn the pit options on. Otherwise, you need to move it out of the same position as the MFD.

The way of the future in UIs comes from Papyrus. Good to see this here!

It surely is a great HUD, but it does not work here, and now everything is completely messed up, first and formost the delta bar is gone, and the deinstall-tip (delele the overlay and overlay_race.ini) did not work either. How do I get the original HUD back? After two days trying I despair.

I installed it on my end again on a clean install and everything worked as it should. Delta bar won't show up until a lap or two in, as there is nothing to time against with no laps logged.

But if you want to go back, delete the overlay.ini files and verify integrity of game cache in Steam. It'll redownload the original files of anything that is missing. If you need help with that, just google it. Very quick and easy.

In your read me, (yes I read them) In my tools menu, I don't have Edit Key Bindings..I have Edit Input
Bindings...When I select "TogglePlugin" I don't see Input Component column.
Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

I read the readme, and of course I would not expect the delta bar on the first lap. And I had tried that with the overlays several times. Anyway, thx for trying to replicate the error. I also deleted AMS now, and did a reinstall, and still everything is messed up, no delta bar, and no map (which I do not need, but still), but a horizontal line left bottom with the drivers on track as squares (which I do not want). So, how do I get back to the original screen of the game.

I had this great hud working before in older versions a while back. Recently I installed the latest beta version 1.08 but I cant get this hud working at all. All I get is the default hud, I checked the AMS folders and the files are all there in the right place.
