If after reading through both of these there still issues, please describe them below!

For other overlays please go to the Third Party Software, Plugins and Tools forum.

Thank you!

  • Selecting "auto cycle" does not change the choices to checkboxes, instead they stay as radio buttons meaning you can still only select 1.
  • The telemetry is off centre

  • Standings tower will grow and shrink, fills the screen with 20 or more drivers. No way to configure like rF2?

The broadcast overlay click HIDE IN GAME PANELS; doesn't hide panels in replay mode.
It would be useful for a 'return to live' button or keybind too (for instant replays).

  • Instead of cycling through all the onboard cameras have buttons to go directly to 'wing'/'passenger'/'spoiler' etc
  • Show which car is causing a yellow flag

Tire color missing
have been using the overlay for streams, and during our last stream, I noticed that the GT3 cars' tires do not have a color. I have tried to replicate it again, and as you can see from this screenshot, all the GT3 cars' tires on the overlay are black. Even during our wet race, the tires remained black.

Energy remening
This one dosen show any data when watching an online race

I have compiled some of the issues and some of the "quality of life" changes that might be worth looking into in this PDF I have added.

So i found two more things.
Leaders in Class. This element obstructs the tower and session display. It should be repositioned and possibly redesigned, as it’s currently difficult to discern the class leaders. Also i dont have any controll over it. It also pops up when a driver gets a penalty, that is a good thing, but again difficult to see and under the other things.

(Here is how it looks in real life when it pops op.)

Grid Pos.
The class indication is in the wrong place; it’s floating when it should be positioned with the number.

Additionally, essential information like lap time and gap is missing from this display. Would also be nice if the pos class pos was showen as well.

@Woodee
Is there any chance we’ll see some updates to the overlay in the next game update, or is that something planned further down the line? I understand there are more important priorities at the moment. :)
 
Nice to see the virtual fuel display on the overlay! 🚀 However, it currently only works for the Hypercars.
Also, the GT3 tires are still not displaying with the correct background color. 🎨 Is there any news on if or when we can expect an update on the Overlay?

When the drivers Pits, the Virtual Engergy isent the same on on the overlay as the ingame hub.
(edit)
It only shows the car Fule and not VE, the overlay needs to show VE and not the cars Fule for the hypcercars. Also add the LMGT3 to it.

It’s a streaming/broadcasting tool, so yes—it’s designed to work that way. I’m not quite sure why the developers are being criticized for this, as it seems to be functioning as intended. With some bugs.

correct and I also understand.
I don't want to offend anyone too much but why we have to use the ugly hud instead of the original
hud. thats really pointless.
