    I think the current format is the most user friendly for showing the most drivers on screen. I am working on improving the results screen right now though.

    Good news is the resolution support and scaling support is done, just testing remaining. :cool: The driver info and compare drivers widgets took a day and a half alone with the complexity... :eek:

    Hi @Dave Wyatt

    I can DM you an early version to test the new resolution support if you have time to test?

    Thanks.

    Yes, I hope. Everything will fit on screen, and you will be able to scale the UI to your liking if it is too big or small. :)

    R3E Reality - v1.5.0 Release
    Big update to the tool to make it really fresh. Here is some highlights of what has been added in this version. Full changelog at the end of the post.​

    Resolution Support + UI Scaling
    It's literally 'Mad'... You want 4k, you want VR at 60FPS? You want a full engine for free to develop your games on it? You have it.

    This version includes the highly requested resolution support to broadcast on 4K or even lower than HD resolutions screens with an added bonus of being able to also scale the UI elements to your liking very easily. A resolution scaling config file (resolutionScaler.less) has been added in the top level folder which you can use to increase/decrease the size of the UI live on screen.

    This took literally 1-2 thousand line changes to update every tiny aspect of every small UI component, but it was well worth it and the results look good so far.

    Standard Scaling

    +1 Click of Scaling

    Theme Switcher
    The theme switcher has finally been added to the UI which works with the new theming approach.

    Standings Full Name Display
    Added a new toggle to the control panel to toggle on/off full driver names in the standings widget.

    upload_2019-1-12_11-58-55.png

    Driver/Compare Info Personal Best & Class Position UI Restyle
    The personal best time and class position UI elements on the driver info widgets has been given a new edgy look.

    upload_2019-1-12_11-54-18.png

    Driver Avatars
    Added a toggle to show drivers portal avatars in place of their country flag. Very useful for teams/esports logos.

    Sector Split Styling
    The sector splits timings UI in qualifying and practice sessions have been improved quite a bit with a fresh look and new animations.

    upload_2019-1-12_11-50-30.png

    Auto Director Only Mode
    Added a new toggle to enable 'Auto Director Only Mode'. When enabled, the auto director will only direct a race and won't turn on widgets by itself. Useful for jumping between manual & auto directing without having to turn on/off specific widgets each time you turn back on the auto-director.

    Livery Preview Toggle
    A new toggle has been added so you can turn on/off the livery preview on the driver info and compare widgets to make them more compact.

    Enhanced UI Visibility
    All on-screen UI components have been tweaked to contrast more clearly with the background to increase visibility.

    IndyCar Tyre Compound Display
    The Firestone Primary & Alternate IndyCar tyre previews will now be shown in the UI.

    upload_2019-1-12_11-40-12.png

    Race Results Winner/Fastest Lap UI
    The overall race results screen has been improved with highlights shown on either side of the table for the overall winner and driver with the fastest lap. (The fastest lap widget still needs some tweaking, so might not always display)

    Team names have also been added.Portal team names will also be shown.

    Congrats @Scout , now you've almost finish the most things you have now plenty of time to create the rolling bar up or down the screen. (just kidding, just a wish for the future. LOL)
    You did a realy great job, and if the possibility to get this work in the replay function i'm sure your overlay wil be show a lot more at (for example) youtube.
    Keep up the good work.

    I'm not sure to be honest, it's caused by the game rather than the overlay.
