Editing overlayconfig.xml

Editing is only required when using vr, and your missing an overlay in the file

Here is the Blind Spot text required. Note it contains "Blind Sport overlay" as the "Windowname" in the script shown. Each entry will have its own Windowname in the script.  

The best method to view or edit the C:\users\yourname\documents\racelabapps\overlayconfig.xml file is to open it with notepad. Also Note: If you use "Google Onedrive" your file maybe located in the following folder c:\users\yourname\onedrive\documents\racelabapps\overlayconfig.xml. When editing the file, always be sure it is saved as an .xml file and not a txt file.

  • If one of the overlays dont show up in VR, you might need to add the missing section in your Documents/Racelabapps/OverlayConfig.xml file.
  • First close Racelab app.  Open c:\users\yourname\documents\racelabapps\overlayconfig.xml with note pad editor.

Here is an example adding "Blind Spot Overlay" to the config file (the name is the same as the window name when you open the overlay):

<Window WindowName="Blind Spot Overlay" Show="true" RefreshRate="30" NotLookingRefreshRate="30" HideNotLooking="false" HideNotLookingRatio="0.94999999" Yaw="0.50697643" Pitch="-0.16250208" Size="0.32654983" Alpha="1" AlphaTransparency="1">

<Position X="0.5445987" Y="0.02718843" Z="-0.69390917"/>

<Crop Left="0" Right="5" Top="0" Bottom="5"/>

<ColorBackground R="0" G="0" B="0" A="255"/>

<ColorMask R="255" G="0" B="255" A="255"/>

</Window>
