    I'm using F1_AM_2020 and would like to edit the mod car dash to include lap delta. I don't want to use an overlay.
    Had a look in HDV but that all seems to be chassis settings. Where would I find the dash info and lap delta - as displayed in SimHub dash and overlays??

    Such Things are defined in the Cockpitinfo.ini or sometimes in the Upgrades.ini.
    Here is an Entry for the last Laps Laptime as an Example:
    LASTLAPFont=F319_FONTW
    LASTLAPBackground=F319_bglastlapdig
    LASTLAPScale=(0.8,5)

    But if you want to add something, you have to edit the Mesh too.
    And to get it working, you have to follow some Rules.
    And not all Functions are supported in rFactor 2 yet.
    But maybe the Suffix "DeltaBest" (instead of "LASTLAP" in the above Example) could be what you want to have, but i didn't use it yet.

    Many thanks. Yes I've had a snoop around in those files.
    I believe the data is in rF2 as lap delta can be displayed by a SimHub dash/overlay. So I assume the data is being read from a rF2 field somewhere.
    I'll try DeltaBest.

    I don't think deltabest works. I think there's only LASTLAP and BESTLAP.

    After a quick Test it seems as if you are right @Coutie.
    But i have the DeltaBest on my private List of possible digital and analog Gauges.
    Maybe it was announced in the Past and forgotten to put it into the Game then. :)
