Well done.
Is it possible to run the game fullscreen and have the pedal overlay on a second monitor that's connected to the same computer?

 

Thanks @svictor
Could you also create a wheelimage (.png) which rotates based on wheel input degrees?

 

yeah that would be a great jewell fr this very nice pluggin!

 

That would be a great, if it is possible with AHK plugins. Also adding a FFB meter, and optionally remove clutch and hanbrake.
