    I'm running a triple screen so I have to edit the customingamelayout.ini to correct it for bezel correction but since the last update it seems that this file have no effect what so ever.

    Also, when starting AMS the load screen looks like this. I'm guessing what I see on the left screen should be in the center. Doesn't bother me but I thought it might be related somehow.

    Open your customingamelayout.ini.
    First line should be
    Code:
    VERSION = 2
    (you should have 1 there)

    Add this to your file:
    Code:
    //DRIFT SCORE
TV_SCORE_SCREENXPOS = 0.375
TV_SCORE_SCREENYPOS = 0.2
TV_SCORE_SCREENW = 0.25
TV_SCORE_SCREENH = 0.0015

    I'm trying to figure out if the customingamelayout.ini still works. I modified the file which resides in the uiData folder but I don't seem to be seeing any changes. I remember having this problem before so i'm wondering if i'm not putting the file in the right location.

    Are there any instructions on how to use this feature? Does it just reside in the uiData folder?

    Hmm. So my customingamelayout file says "VERSION=1" at the top and I added the DRIFT SCORE lines mentioned above but nothing is moving in the layout. Screen shot below. I'm trying to move the standings/positions readout on the top left and the car status on the bottom right inward a bit.

    This is using the customingamelayout.ini file located in the Automobilista/uiData folder. Does that file need to be copied over somewhere else?

    @tlsmikey My post might sound confusing, you need to edit version line such that it reads "2".

    Ahhh.. that did it. Sorry, i thought it was supposed to read "1". My mistake.

    One last question. Which setting affects the position of the car status on the lower right with tire temps, brake temps, etc? I've tried the message chat box and a few other but I can't seem to locate it.

    I'm not sure, check the ini file and see if it says anything about tachometer.

    EDIT:
    Just got home and had a look. At the start of the ini file, after the comments, you have the settings for the tachometer

    Not sure, but you could set the element location outside of the screen monitor. Like Y=2000
