I have just updated source code with new options & workaround for customization background:
https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal

If you wish to test now, you can try run the source code or package it yourself. At the moment there are some other unrelated changes may be coming so new release package hasn't been made yet.

The new options info can be found in WIP changelog here:
https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/blob/master/docs/changelog.txt

Note, for radar (and trackmap) widget, you have to change background color that is set in Radar Widget config dialog, and probably also need to disable the new option "show_fade_out". For other widget, you just need to change "global background color" option in Compatibility dialog.
 
v2.2.0 (2023-10-27)
https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/releases/tag/v2.2.0
* New Compatibility setting for customizing window background color for VR ( feature suggested by @DanRZ ).
* New Linux installer, Wayland workaround, and bug fixes by Bernat. Thanks to @Bernat & alexbrrsclnt for helping with test.
* New Speedometer Widget that shows minimum, maximum, fastest speed ( feature suggested by @ebeninca in https://forum.studio-397.com/index....ve-fuel-calculator.71557/page-15#post-1119545 ).

Edit: windows executable file is now available at release page.
Due to poor network connection for the past few days, I haven't been able to upload new build file for windows, the release page currently only has source code. I don't know when network will be better, but for the time being, new version can be run or build from source code by following instructions described at project home page.

You need to use github actions in your repo to configure a build workflow, so it can auto-build and generate the zip file for you when you push a new tag, delicious like a cup of coffee.

Sorry for dumb questions, after reading things I can't figure out a few things after getting this setup and working.

How to I move the actual hud elements around on my screen?
My track map just a circle, what have i not set correct there?

1 - Simply use your mouse to position the elements where you want.
2 - It's a round map while you don't complete a valid lap time.

Hi
is there's a possibility to be added a option in the relative/standings to see how many laps have been done in the actual tyre compound for each driver?
 
Hi,

Thanks for suggestion, but sorry, the mentioned feature would not be added for a few reasons.

First, the game does not give the suggested info available through API right away. To know how many laps a tyre has done, it requires manual tracking, that will be a lot data to process (multiplies amount players & status changes & each 4 tyres and resulting large data set, there is also potential de-sync issue that can result false data), and potentially slow down other data display in overlay.

And the most important reason is that tyre compound data de-sync a lot in multiplayer session. It is often to see that opponents tyre compound data not updated by the time opponents finish their pit stop & tyre change, but only until a few laps later after pits. Sometimes de-sync can last as long as over 30mins and it also affects official broadcast overlay. Thus tyre compound data from opponents are not always accurate and reliable to begin with.

In endurance races, it is also more complex due to driver swap, TinyPedal only reads & stores data when you are driving. So when you are not driving, opponent data is simply not tracked.

TinyPedal is meant for real-time data display for local driver, and not intended to become a full analytic telemetry APP that tracks & analyzes everyone's data & history in deep levels. There are already some specialized telemetry APP (such as Second Monitor or rFactor2 Log Analyzer) that cover the more analytic & strategic areas.
 
Hi again, I’m looking in user guide but didn’t see it if is possible to reset laptime of deltabar reference, and use the best session lap? Or is always comparing to your best laptime ever recorded?
 
Thank you once again for an amazing update. One small thing i would change is the relative to be more accurate. It is fluctuating a bit too much and also quite a bit different from the ingame one. Thats my smallest issue i have.

It's correct, it is always comparing with your personal best (recorded) lap time.

The deltabest file is located in TinyPedal\deltabest folder, just open the folder and sort file by latest date, then delete the record you wish to reset. Same goes for track map in trackmap folder.

Addition info can be found here:
https://github.com/s-victor/TinyPedal/wiki/User-Guide#user-files

Edit: next update will add "Reset data" menu for resetting user data from UI directly.

Reviving an old issue:
GSync / FreeSync gets disabled when TinyPedal app widgets show on top of the game :(
I've tried disabling fullscreen optimizations for rF2 like suggested, but all tht does is disable GSync even if TinyPedal app is not running. Has anyone really gotten gsync to work with TinyPedal, and how?
 
I don't have a g-sync monitor to help. There is however one thing to check: make sure "lock overlay" is enabled while driving, so that RF2 window won't lose focus if widgets have been clicked or dragged recently.

Most result & discussion from web search also show that g-sync has trouble with borderless or windowed mode, such as lag & stutter issues, or been disabled(as you mentioned) are commonly reported. So borderless or windowed mode is probably the real issue.
