Free overlays

[u/Tbarrii]

Looking to move away from myracingapps since it doesn’t get support anymore and has been wigging out lately. What suggestions for the best free overlay apps out there (if any)

[u/NickRussell53]

Edge Overlays is the best out right now imo.

[u/Top_Falcon7532 → u/NickRussell53]

Been using Edge for quite some time and been impressed since Day 1

I am the main author but there are / have been over 40 engineers working on this project. Its very actively developed. Its open-source and very community driven.

You can check out its progress from the release notes here: https://github.com/tariknz/irdashies/releases

[u/Gizmuth → u/Formal_Mobile_2751]

Thank you for your work I was just coming here to recommend irdashies

[u/ltjpunk387 → u/Formal_Mobile_2751]

I've been using paid iOverlay for a couple years now, but I feel like it's slowly being abandoned. No new features in months. I've been keeping an eye on irDashies and been trying it out sporadically as new features come in. I'm not quite ready to switch yet, but it looks like you have addressed a lot of the shortcomings that affected me. I'll be following along more closely now. Thank you, and I always appreciate open source devs

Irdashies

Simhub with romainrob and/or benofficial2 overlays

[u/Getting0ldSucks → u/blackmars0]

I second benofficial2, I’ve been pretty happy with these.

[u/blur494]

The built in stuff covers everything i want now honestly.

[u/GreyDuck4077 → u/blur494]

The only thing missing for me is I like to have a full standings list on the left side of my ultrawide. Other than that yeah everythign is covered.

[u/blur494 → u/GreyDuck4077]

I would find that super distracting personally but best of luck to you! Ive been using the free Sim hub for dash settings for a long time but im sure somone has a leader board built too.

[u/track-impulse]

Track Impulse. The radar spotter, relative, standings, fuel calculator and the dashboards are all in the free tier, permanently, no trial clock. It gets updated most weeks and covers iRacing plus twelve other sims.

What features do you want exactly?

The new in-game UI is getting more and more features that used to be available only through 3rd party overlays

[u/Tbarrii → u/IAmMDM]

Track map, fuel, pit speed warning, relative

I do spotting as well and I can’t have this stuff up without blocking half the screen with having all the other stuff on the screen. With overlays I can have a full screen and see everything while spotting

[u/Gullible_Goose → u/Tbarrii]

The base game UI has all that stuff

[u/ltjpunk387 → u/Gullible_Goose]

The only real shortcoming is the fuel calculator. It can be pretty bad in multiclass, and third party overlays can give you more accurate and customizable info

[u/Gullible_Goose → u/ltjpunk387]

I haven't had much of a chance to use it in endurance yet, but in the oval leagues I'm in it works really well.

Edge Overlays is the way

[u/mxpilot20]

I use ksr overlays its good and free

[u/Dwest2391]

I overlay + crewchief

[u/icecoldgold773]

iOverlay + iFL03

[u/Ok-Low4939]

IrDashies + Edge Overlay + Crew Chief

[u/Revolutionary_Dig722]

Edge. No competition for overlays

Ive tried a chunk of them ioverlay Racelabs paid and non paid IRdashies

Now on edge. I do pay for the extra features,

You wont be dissapointed !! They are easy to lay out, sticks of options and dashes available, plus rob and the team and super helpful to fix anything you are struggling with!

Then aswell as crewchief + g61

[u/iRasist]

Edge overlays and irDashies are the best free options.

Simhub with Romainrob / benofficial are good but simhub runs at 10fps unless you have the license so it might be a bit annoying.

iOverlays and RaceLab are the top freemium options.

[u/CrAzY_DrE]

Go fast overlays. Clean and easy to setup

[u/TiaPorta99]

Ksr overlays
