    Hello, I would like to edit the info of the cockpit LCD in a car. The cars are the three of DTM, and I would like to add two indicators: DRS and fuel.

    I know I can view this info with any external hud, but I always like to use the real car LCD, because it is more realistic.

    I don't find any tutorial or documentation. Could you tell me how to do this, or give me any link to a tutorial about it?

    Thanks in advance.

    I am not familiar with the DTM cars but there might be a couple of ways depending on the dashboard they use (digital display or gauges with glowing bulbs), either way you need to add the light to the 3d model. For the digital display you need to place a background where you want the light and then configure it in the cockpitinfo.ini file. For a glowing bulb, you need to add the physical light to the model and then place a glowing object just above it and set this up with an animation for on and off and then also set it up in the cockpitinfo.ini file. I haven't played with the cockpit lights for quite a while but it would be along those lines, also not everything works on the digital dash so you may have to settle for a bulb that lights up if you can't get it working.

    These links may help.
