benofficial2's Official Overlays 3.3

What's New

This release contains performance improvements (requires SimHub 9.8.4), introduces the new Track Wetness and Precipitation overlays, as well as adding new options for tweaking the look and behavior of some overlays. Take a look at the full release notes below.

You'll notice that the Multi-Class Standings overlay is now resizable in width and shows the 'Stint' lap by default in the last column. There's an option should you desire to revert back to the previous behavior of displaying the 'Pit' lap.

The Relative overlay is now also resizable in width and has an optional footer (not enabled by default) that shows additional session information typically seen in the Standings header. This is for those who would rather race only with the Relative overlay. You'll also notice there are now black flag indicators so you'll know why the racer ahead is so damn slow!

The new Track Wetness and Precipitation overlays will be hidden by default when at 0%. This behavior can be configured in the options.

A big thanks to the contributors who submitted code and ideas! I hope you enjoy this release.
