    Thanks for this Steve, I can not run Fazerbox's HUD so this is a goodish replacement.
    I couldn't get it to work at first till I found this bit of info...

    "rFactor2 setting
    If there is a rFactor2, the "rF2_DATA.dll" of SIM_Monitor \ data folder
    in the rFactor2 \ Plugins, please copy."

    You can put it onto the main screen if you want to, It's got more info that the ISI hud.
    Have you found a way to resize it?
    Mine looks like this..

    Somewhere in the folder is a sim monitor add on that gives the screen I showed so in effect you could run 2 apps or 1 over the other. I found a config file and just put in my second screen resolution. I had to play around as the site I found it was in Japanese. But it works with Assetto too and rF1, plus RBR and all the simbiz titles :)

    I found that whenever I had the plugin highlighted the game either stopped in single player, or stuttered in multiplayer but once I click on the game screen all was good again.
    You can edit the size & placement on the screen by editing the SIM_Monitor.ini file.
    My edit seemed to werk ok, make a backup to be safe tho.
    TakaTeC_Xsize=620
    TakaTeC_Ysize=450
    TakaTeC_X_Offset=-1296
    TakaTeC_Y_Offset=640

    Yeah that site is a bit of a tuff read but you can figure it out.
