• Updated the Sector Display
• Updated a lot of code to use the new JS functions fro Simhub

v2.5.0

Warning

SimHub v9.1.0 is required. Please download the latest version.

• Added: Generic game title title support for the Settings File - Now, you can also setup any inter game that is not "officially" supported by the Lovely Dashboard. this also helps with some reported crashes.
• Performance update: Settings File is now loaded once upon launch of the dashboard. Please read below for the consequences.
• New: pitAlert option - You can now enable (or disable) the Blue Interface when the vehicle is in the Pit Lane
• New: pitLarge option - You can now enable a much larger Pit Limiter screen
• New: Positions Gained or Lost in session information

RTFM (Read the following memo)

Important

The performance update in this version required changes to how we load the settings file into the dashboard. In order to optimise this "call", we only read the file on launch. So, from this version forward, making changes to the Settings File will REQUIRE a relaunch of the dashboard.

Action Triggers Fix 2.4.3

Action triggers

In this version I attempt to fix the Action triggers that have not been working for a handful of users. The malfunction is highly due to the old version of the Settings File, but to completely remove any doubt, I'm also updating the method used to trigger the Actions in the dash. New and updated documentation has also been provided.

Important

It has been noted that many users have not updated their Settings File to the latest version (post v2.0.0), which has been causing issues with the interaction triggers for the MFMs. Please make sure you are using a version of the Settings file, post v2.0.0. Please read the documentation on how to setup your Action Triggers.

Automobilista 2 damage hotfix
