Download benofficial2's Official Overlays from the releases page and run the installer. Choose your Sim Hub folder as your installation folder.
See the Installation Guide for a detailed walkthrough on how to install and setup the overlays the first time.
This overlay shows the current driver inputs in real-time. A graph with Pedal Input Traces shows the recent inputs over time. This is useful to understand bad habits. It is modular meaning you can hide parts you don't need.
This overlay shows the live Leaderboard for up to 4 car classes. Optional columns: Car Logo, Gap, Best Lap Time, Last Lap Time, and Delta. See the benofficial2 plugin page (in the left menu) for all options.
Note: The old Standings overlay has been deprecated and will not be supported anymore. Please use the Multi-Class Standings overlay instead, which can be configured to look the same with only the player's car class.
This overlay shows the nearby drivers Ahead & Behind on-track. This includes cars from every car class. In blue are cars that are a lap down and in red are those a lap ahead. The Out Lap Indicator shows when a car is on an out-lap. The last column shows the Gap in seconds to that car. The header shows the Strength of Field and Incident Count. The temperature is the Track Temperature and the time is your computer's Local Time.
There's an optional footer (not enabled by default) that shows additional session information typically seen in the Standings header.
This overlay shows orange bars when side-by-side with another car. This complements your audio spotter as it will show up the moment your spotter starts talking. The size of the orange bar gives your an idea of the amount of car overlap and how fast you are passing them so you can time the perfect move.
Also comes with a Rejoin Helper that will show up when stopped or off-track, telling you how safe it is to rejoin by giving you the gap to the next incoming car. Quicker than looking at Relatives.
Designed to be placed over the virtual mirror, but can be placed wherever you want it to be.
This overlay shows the fuel consumption, indicates when to pit and calculates how much fuel to add. It can also automatically set the fuel to add for you when entering pit lane. See the documentation for details.
This overlay shows car positions on a map. Supports multi-class colors.
Three small overlays that show weather-related data fields.
This overlay gives you feedback on your pace. The Delta Time (center) and Delta Speed (right) are relative to your session's best clean lap. In qualifying, they are relative to your all-time best lap. On the left, in a race, you get Gap and last lap Interval information about your nearest competitor ahead and behind. Useful to know if your are improving relative to them.
This delta bar can help you improve your lap times by giving you on-the-spot feedback in a corner. Because the Delta Speed field is big enough, you'll be able to see it change color while keeping your eyes on the track. So you'll know instantly if your mid-corner speed was faster/slower for example. You'll learn quickly what works and what doesn't.
Note: if the delta bar doesn't show immediately, it is because it doesn't have a clean reference lap to compare against yet. It will show up once you complete a full lap without incident.
This overlay shows information about the currently spectated driver when spectating. Can optionally be shown when in-car as well.
This overlay shows various in-car settings and statuses. Useful when the in-game steering wheel is not visible in your FOV. The green boxes typically show statuses about "going faster" such as DRS, ERS, P2P, OT (Super Formula), and Fuel Mix.
The yellow boxes are for Fuel and Laps Remaining Estimate. A Pit Indicator will pop up when it's time to pit. The orange boxes are for various in-car settings such as Entry Diff. And finally the red boxes are for Brake Bias and ABS adjustments.
This overlay shows up only when in the garage / setup screen and tells you how much fuel is needed to start the race. Supports heat races and will determine if the race is limited by time or laps when both are specified. Useful for leagues that have a custom race length.
A blinking Fuel Warning lights up when you're about to grid with an under-fueled setup. Never start a race with a qualification setup again!
Beta Warning: use at your own risk. I might have missed an edge case but so far so good in my tests. Please report any issue or feedback in my Discord.
For streamers, this overlay shows an animation that hides your car setup values when entering the garage.
For streamers, this overlay shows your chat on-screen so you can keep up with chat. Powered by ChatIS.
When stopped, this overlay shows precise pedal input bars to help you consistently hold a desired value. For example with the F1 W13, you set your clutch bitepoint to ~60% and hold 50% throttle. At 52% you might spin out, so this overlay helps you be consistent.
There's some randomness to the clutch bitepoint in iRacing, so make sure to experiment to find a safe value.
