If you like this widget, I'd appreciate a donation of iRacing credits. My iRacing Id: 813344

Forked from https://github.com/Rovlgut/ir_WeatherApp. Thanks to Rovlgut for the original work.

This is a very basic implementation over Rovlgut's original work, with little changes to fit my personal preferences. I haven't updated this implementation to the latest version of Rovlgut's original work, so it may be missing some of the latest features. This is intended for personal use, but feel free to use it as a base for your own implementation. I will not be maintaining this fork, so if you want to use it, you should probably fork it yourself and maintain it.

Description

Weather App for Kapps. Based on iRacing Browser Apps .

Shows track wetness, precipitation, humidity, track state, track temp and air temp.

The track wetness text blinks red when track wetness is going up, and blinks green when track wetness is going down.

Install

1. Download the latest .zip source code from the releases page.

2. Create the Custom Apps folder

Create a folder where your iRacing custom apps will live. I'm creating mine inside the iRacing folder in Documents but you can create it anywhere you want.

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\iRacing\CustomApps

---

3. Copy the WeatherApp files

Copy the entire WeatherApp folder into your CustomApps folder.

Final structure should look like:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\iRacing\CustomApps\WeatherApp

Inside the WeatherApp folder you should see:

libs/
css/
fonts/
app.coffee
index.html

4. Add the folder to Kapps

   • Right-click Kapps
   • Click Run as administrator
2. In Kapps:
   • Go to App tab → Settings
   • Click Add App Folder
   • Select your CustomApps folder

If the Add App Folder option is missing, you can manually do it:

1. Go to C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Kapps\iRacingBrowserApps
2. Create a folder called apps
3. Paste the WeatherApp folder inside apps

---

5. Add the overlay in Kapps Racing Overlay

2. Scroll to the bottom
3. Click Add Custom Overlay

Configure it as follows:

WeatherApp (or any name)

URL

http://127.0.0.1:8182/WeatherApp/

Tick the options you need.
