This is amazing! Great work.
Thanks a lot!
Lovely video, thank you.
Hi I asked for this a few weeks ago , although I had already worked out the basics myself as an older non computer guy I could see some may not have a clue. Great job great dash. Legend
Glad to help!
Tastefully done and super informative dash. Excelent 10/10.
Thank you!
This is the most incredible thing I've seen since starting sim racing, thank you. Some truly amazing work
Thank, much appreciated! If you missed it, last night I released a new version 2.6.0... here's the video of the walkthrough ua-cam.com/users/livemhGbmHBr7g4
Hi Constantinos and thanks for your amazing job with this helpful tool. The new release looks like perfect. The previous release (1.6.3) worked very well so I'll try next today.
Always adding small bits and pieces. Cheers! Also, join the Discord and be a part of the conversation...
Thank you for making all my hopes and dreams come true. Ha, ha. Seriously, thank you for the outstanding work. You passion, pride, and talent show through with this wonderful utility. Lovely Dashboard is the perfect example of why the hobby of sim racing is so enjoyable. Good luck with your future endeavors.
My pleasure! Thank you!
Thank you. This is the best dash for ACC with a USBD480 display that I've used (and I've used a few good ones). Actually a game changer in terms of useful information display mid race.
Μπράβο Κωνσταντίνε
Είσαι καταπληκτικός.
Ευχαριστώ πολύ για αυτό το υπέροχο ταμπλό.
Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ Δημήτρη!
I am using Lovely Dashboard on my steering wheels and I Love! You made a fantastic work. Thanks and congratulations!!! I inserted a link to this video on my last review using your dashboard.
Thank you very much! Love your work too ;)
@@LovelySimRacing thank you bro!

🤘
great help thanks so much.
This is an awesome dashboard, thanks a lot for the huge effort you put into it. I love it!
🫶
Just what I was looking for. Now I can't wait for my DDU to arrive
Thank you for this! This was much needed. I ran my first full race with the LD last night and I cannot express how happy I am with it. The work going into this is evident and the sim racing community owes you a debt of gratitude. Thank you for all that you do!
Aw, thanks Dr. Scott! So happy you enjoy it. Always looking for ways to improve, so all feedback is welcomed.
beautiful dash, great work, hoping for raceroom compatibility in future if it's not too much work for you
Thank you probably the best thing I have added to my rig
❤️
The dash is beautiful, please add that we can see the rating and gain of irating in real time during the race. thank you very much for the work done
Love the dashboard ❤
big thx for the dash and streamdeck icons! 👍
Thanks! Glad you like them!
Thanks a lot for your awesome Work!
My pleasure!
Thank you so much
Nice work man ... people like you are very usefull for us noobs in this 😅 i will use this when i get my ddu ❤❤
Glad I could help ;)
This dash is really awsome!!!
I’ve been using the dash for a few months but didn’t know 90% of what could be done and/or used. Great video and brilliant work!
Mission accomplished then ;)
@@LovelySimRacing absolutely! Thank you!
really really good dash , hope it will run on AC soon , thanks for your very good job +++++++
Thanks!!🎉 Best dashboard
Glad you like it!
Cant wait for this :)
x2 it is a must, can't wait on lovely pitwall to become available so I can use it in my top monitor 😁
@@HoracioJimenez me too
@@jonathan_noe you are the best
Wow, so in depth and so much thought has gone into this product. This will be my go to when my KGL DDU arrives. If free to download, my donation will be appropriate. Thanks for your efforts.
It will always be free ;)
@@LovelySimRacing Hi, my DDU is arriving on Friday and have followed all instructions up to the dashboard download. Do I need the .leds for the DDU unit and, if so, do I need all of them? My DDU unit is a 6.8" KGL touchscreen, slightly new to this sorry.
@@ciaranconnor4466 I think the KGL does not have LED's so you would not need them.
@@LovelySimRacing It doesn't and until now I didn't realise these files are for the movement of the RPM LEDs. My bad, sorry for the time wasting!
The best dashboard out there by a mile.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks you
Just set this up last night. Absolutely incredible kit. Now I need to
Add some leds to my set up!!! And get some overlays into obs.
Thank you for the great work and the easy to follow video.
Right on!
@@LovelySimRacingis there a way to adjust the “shift light” on the gear indicator?
@@DEFBOY35 What would you like to adjust on it?
@@LovelySimRacing to change what rpm it goes red
@@DEFBOY35 It is done in Simhub. Join the Discord and I'm sure someone can help you fine tune it.
Simply the best Dashboard I have ever seen ! A huge thanks for all the work done. Small question, will it be possible one day like on the XL version to display on the normal version the time that separates us form the cars behind and in front ? Maybe in an alternative display on the top right of the Dashboard ? In any case, thanks for everthing.
Yes, it’s on my roadmap. But that will require a redesign, which I need to think of. It’ll take a bit more time…
What a lovely day
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 awesome !!!!!!!
King!
Hi!
Thanks for all your work is INCREDIBLE
One question is the tyre dash available on iracing?
Thanks
Yes. It is… only difference is that in iRacing we do not have access to real time tyre data. So what you see is essentially cold/hot tire data.
Love it! Great work!
Thank you so much!
Is version 1.6.3 already out?
Not yet, coming next week.
Amazing. Please release for F1 and AC!
Thanks for all the work you put into this dash. Just a suggestion. For the rFactor 2 tire widget, would you consider changing tire pressure to tire wear percentage (starts at 100% and goes down as you wear the tires)? I think in rFactor 2 tire wear level is more important than pressure. Again, great job and keep up the good work!
Pressure should be as important on all titles. I will check and see if that data is available. If yes, I can add it.
Yes I also think tire wear is more important than tire pressure in rfactor 2. It's not that tire pressure isn't important in rfactor 2, it just doesn't make as much difference with small changes in tire pressure.
I noticed you updated the latest version of Lovely Dashboard with tire wear for rFactor 2. Thanks a bunch!
I've been using lovely dash a while now and it's a must have for any simracer. Great video and breakdown into what each setting does.
It would be great to have this dash for AC.
Also a screen showing the weather would be nice - something similar to the track screen. It would be useful for endurance events or shorter races with dynamic conditions.
Keep up the great work, look forward to future releases.
Thanks! This is always a work in progress… AC is definitely on the list.
@@LovelySimRacing also for ACC ?
@@adv5684 the latest beta v2.0.0 version is native for ACC, AC, iRacing, rF2, Automobilista 2 and F1 franchise. You can get the beta in my Discord.
@@LovelySimRacing i don't have acces to the server for beta v2.0.0

BEST DASHBOARD
Man, I love your dashboard, If you can add the SF23 boost mood in the next update that would be awesome. thanks again
Looking into it. Maybe not the next release though.
Thank you so much for that wonderfull dash ❤❤
greaaaaaaaat. I will make a video on my channel very soon. Stay aware.
Subbed!
Congratulations for the good work. The best dashboard i used so far. I can't get to work the action button pages on my tablet. Is it possible or only with a DDU screen?
No, you can get it to work with everything. You n my video I show how to use a DDU… but for tablets and other devices, you need to set the same action in the Dash > Settings.
This must be the best dash ever. Looks like I need to buy me a second screen for this!
Well, you can use it on an existing phone, tablet or even in windowed mode on your desktop. But of course, you can buy a dash for it ;)
it would be cool to also have a map on the 1st screen in either the a or b side that would be awesome imo
There is. And you can also set it to animated or static. I got you covered!
@LovelySimRacing well that's just awesome! Installing this rn!
As said before ,this is de best simhub dashboard in the world. I'm only using this one in ACC from this moment on,but you would make me so happy if you could make it compatible with Asseto Corsa to. I wil support you gladly with a bucket full of coffee for that 😅.Thanks for all your hard work.!
Noted :)
This is the best dash ive ever used. Thank you for your hard work. The only thing i would change is adding a second decimal place to the fuel usage window. If you are running various engine maps / fuel strategies, you need a second decimal place to tell you if you are hitting your fuel target.
Due to limited space, I only display decimals on fuel, under 10 lt
@@LovelySimRacing so possibly a feature you could add in the future. Fuel consumption target.
So, you would need fuel consumption per lap as 0.00?
@@LovelySimRacing yes. Some of us have never cozied up to the metric system and still use gallons. So for example, at a recent race at Long Beach if I averaged.56gal/lap i could make it 37 laps but if i could reduce my average fuel consumption to .54g/lap i could make it 38 laps. If the fuel consumption only shows me 0.5 it doesnt give me enough info.
Gotcha.
sweet
Brilliant Work!!!!k Make my questionable investment worth it now. Bought a GSI Wheel and wasnt too crazy on the default dashes. LOVE IT!!! IRacing is not showing me the damage model and estimated time of repair. I am assuming that it is not available and opened up for us to see in IRacing? Thank you again.
Yes, unfortunately iRacing does not provide that data :(
Thanks for this video, great job. Is there a possibility to have the FPS used on your dashboards 👌👌
You can always turn on fps view in Simhub and check the numbers locally. Fps is something that will be different for everyone…
I love this dash,It’s tidiest dash I’ve ever seen,I just wish it worked on raceroom.
So many sims. So little time. It’s not on my roadmap, it I have Raceroom, AC and GT7 in my backlog.
Hello again ! I started running in iracing with w13 and realized that there is no place that warns about DRS if it is available or not to use? just a tip that would be very useful !!! and again you do a wonderful job!
Nice suggestion.
This is a great dashboard. I plan to use it soon. Do you have any instructional videos specific to iRacing and which portions of the dashboard with with it?
I had some documentation on each sim back when it was just two. Now it’s just too hard to keep up.
Many thanks for this wonderful work. I just acquired a 6.8 inch touchscreen dashboard on which I put the lovely dashboard. I found how to edit zones A, B, C and D on SimHub via advanced mode. On the other hand, I haven't found how to switch from one screen to another by, for example, making a movement with the finger from left to right or from right to left. Is this planned and is it possible? Or do you have to associate a button on the steering wheel if you want to change the screen change? Many thanks for the work done!
You can join the discord for details, but I’ve found that swiping on the screen works just fine.
This dashboard is amazing... Great work. I can't get the led profile working properly, but I'm new to this stuff. Where do I copy and paste the led profiles you done up?
Cheer! In the video description, there’s a chapter for installing LED Profiles.
got a big Problem. Got the 5" VoCore and installed v1.6.9 works fine so far but in that box where the tire info normally is, theres a grey box .."No Deploy" and "3 chg rem" written in it. If i change with action A i can see that it changes under that box...
Well done Costantinos the lovely dashboard is amazing. I'm sure I've seen a version with RPM lights at the top of the screen but not on the latest version. Is there a way to enable them?
Yes of course. You can use the settings file to enable them… github.com/cdemetriadis/lovely-dashboard/blob/main/docs/settings.md
Many thanks
Lovely Dashboard is precisely what it is.
In the latest version there is no led download. Do I just go back to where I see them in a older version? Thanks again this is amazing!!!
I've moved these to my Discord. It made no sense uploading the same files over and over again ;) Head on to j76.me/LSRDiscord and you'll find them there.
Hello, excuse my english! I have a doubt ! I use the dash on the PC screen, is there any option to always leave it saved in the same position or do I have to configure it every time I open it? thank you and congratulations for the beautiful work !!!!!!!
Unfortunately not. At least not that I know of...
Awsome looking dash!
Any plans on releasing it for GranTurismo7?
Yes, but not in the imminent roadmap. I've already taken a peek at GT7 data, and it looks very poor for now...
Hey man, i really love your Dashboard Overlays, a lot of work, thanks!! Is there a way i can add the Rev Lights, i dont use a DDU, so this is missing for me :S
Yeah, of course. In the settings file I have an option to enable RPM LEDs.
Hmm, thanks for the reply. But i cant find it, do you mean in the edit dash or somewhere else ?😇
@@HeinziTroe You can customise the Lovely Dashboard using the Settings file. No need to edit the dash...
github.com/cdemetriadis/lovely-dashboard/blob/main/docs/settings.md
Thanks mate i found it ❤
Is there any chance of replacing your default rpms to show the one from the simhub prefents from Bosch DDU? I really like that one. For now i have to stack yours and the bosch one behind it. Is there a way go implement this so i can only use yours?❤
@@HeinziTroe not quite sure what you mean. Could you join the discord and I’ll look into it there.
Hello budy, how are you? I found your dashboard perfect. I just wish she was compatible with F1 22. Then yes, it would be super perfect.
Noted, but like rally cars, F1 has very specific requirements and the Lovely Dashboard may be a bit overkill.
Thank for your amazing work!! I have a question: Can you loop the modules by using the touchscreen on a VOCORE5 DDU5 dash? Or do you have to map buttons/keys? Thank you so much.
That would be a device setting I suppose. You would need to map the touch to whatever action you want.
@@LovelySimRacing Hi again Constantinos. Sorry to bother you again. When I map buttons for A, B, C to loop modules, it only works if the Dash is shown on windowed mode, but it doesn't work on my VOCORE5 unit. Could you help me with this? Thank you.
@@joseluiscuesta176 you should map them under the Devices section, for use on VoCore.
@@LovelySimRacing Thank you so much!
@@LovelySimRacing Sorry last question! i've noticed the relative on the Dash is not equal to iRacing's Relative, sometimes by a difference of 2 seconds!! Is there a way of fixing that?
High Constantino. I apologize I did watch your entire HOW TO video, but I am not a computer savy individual. I managed to get the dash working which again is an amazing piece of work. I inadvertently downloaded the incorrect led profile so now I am stuck. I found your other led profiles which you moved to a separate page and now know I need the 20, 5-10-5 profile but don't know what to do to open or save it. When I double click it the window opens all your code but I am lost as to what I should do to remove the old profile or how to get this new one moved to my simhub folder.
Sorry to be such a rookie, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I will surely buy you your coffee if I get this fixed. LOL
It’s the same procedure. Just go to the profile manager in Simhub, and import the file you’ve downloaded.
Hey, thanks for the amazing dashboard its a piece of art, am only having an issue with the relatives which seems to be different than the ingame ones, any idea how to sort it out?
Which sim are you running? In any case, the data provided from Simhub/Sim may be a bit delayed, so not much we can do. At least as it stands.
@@LovelySimRacing am facing this delay in both ACC and iracing. For example if a car is 3.2 seconds ahead of me on the dash it would show 4.2 or 4.3 secs. So the only problem am facing is not being able to see if am gaining or loosing time to the car infront. Otherwise the dash is amazing
love your work and thanks so much. I normally run it through my iphone but when i try to run it in windowed mode on my PC I can drag the corner to shrink it but I cant drag it around the screen. Do I have a setting wrong somewhere?
This is a recurring issue. I've tried replicating it, but I simply don't have the same issue. I know for a fact that there's an option in Simhub to "lock" the dash in place. It's a little circle in the top right, when hovering. Did you check that maybe?
@@LovelySimRacing I had tried what you suggested before to no avail but then you wouldn’t believe it but I closed it then opened another dash moved it around cancelled that then reopened the Lovely dashboard and I could move it. 🤷♂️
No idea.
Wow! Thank you for this very in depth tutorial. I'm absolutely LOVING the dashboard. I am however having trouble customizing. For some reason, when I save changes in notepad, the changes aren't showing on my iPad screen like they do in your video. I've double checked that all files are in the correct place. The only thing I've done differently than in tutorial is I didn't download the iracing files, b/c I don't use iracing. If I close notepad and re-open the json settings, the changes are indeed saved. Any ideas where I've gone wrong? Thank you!
Best place for support would be the Discord, link in description. We’ll definitely find the issue…
@@LovelySimRacing ok, I’ll try there. Thank you.
first this the best dashboard I've ever used, using it with a pixel 7 (android phone) which is 2400x1080 resolution. is there a way to change the resolution to take advantage of the Fullscreen?
It should scale to "fit" the screen as best possible. It might have some letterboxing effect, but that';s only because the screen aspect ration is different.
Hello. I wanted to ask If custom logo is not working with the newest version or maybe I'm not using a proper image. I'm doing as mentioned in the settings guide.
It works. Jump on the discord for support
I love your dashboard but i and most of people who want to use dashboards on the phone that are mounted into wheel (not wheel base) have the same problem - when i show dashboard on the phone it auto rotates. How can i easly rotate whole dashboard in dash studio to use it rotated by 90 degrees? Can i somehow edit json settings to rotate whole dash?
edit: i figured it out, in dash studio copy and edit any dashboard, change screen size (x,y to y,x) in dashboard properties. Now select all layers and widgets>create new widget from selection, then when u have everything grouped to widgets select it and change in properties rotation to 90. Move to center and did same steps on every screen aand done! When u open dashboard on phone just lock rotation - your dash will be displayed rotated and will not move at all!
