    Have I simply not used the help button before or is this a new feature? It makes a massive difference in VR and is superb. If it’s been there from the start I’m going to be gutted and feel a right fool.

    On another note, as I have only just played the new update, after the hot fix, WOW Reiza…what an astonishing difference. Fantastic work. Thank you.

    I'm completely unfamiliar with what you're talking about, but I'm gonna try and find out!

    In VR you can now adjust the HUD elements plane of depth (closer to and further away from you,) makes a huge difference in VR as you can now have them on the same plane as your in-game dash board. Less refocusing for your eyes.

    All of those hot keys in the HUD Layout help text are various NumPad keys.
    I only have a tenkeyless keyboard, and it doesn't seem to be able to emulate NumPad keys (through the use of holding down the Fn key or similar).
    What can I do about this, other than buy a new keyboard?

    try the virtual keyboard from windows

    Use the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK) to type

    usually just typing "keyboard" in the start menu (windows flag in the left buttom corner of your screen) should bringup that screen keyboard, which has a numpad
    you have to activate it tho by click on the option button in the right buttom and then the third checkbox i think)

    I've been using this for a while and even back in pcars2. You can add the following to the bottom of your openvrsettings.xml which will push the hud away from your eyes to the dashboard level. This is of course if you can't do it in game.

    <prop name="HUDSettings" offSetX="0.000000" offSetY="0.000000" offSetZ="-0.550000" scale="0.500000" rotateX="0.000000" rotateY="0.000000" rotateZ="0.000000" rotateW="1.000000" />
    <prop name="FrontEndSettings" offSetX="0.000000" offSetY="0.000000" offSetZ="-1.000000" scale="1.000000" rotateX="0.000000" rotateY="0.000000" rotateZ="0.000000" rotateW="1.000000" />
    <prop name="InGameSettings" offSetX="0.000000" offSetY="0.000000" offSetZ="-1.000000" scale="1.000000" rotateX="0.000000" rotateY="0.000000" rotateZ="0.000000" rotateW="1.000000" />

    Yeah I bought one for that exact purpose! I liked it so much I then bought a real button box and use the 10-key for additional inputs (like adjusting FFB, etc.).

    Hi. Is it possible to customize the number of HUD in VR?
    For example in Race I need just two HUB: Completely empty and with some info.
    The Bumper distriact me a lot when I have to cicle among the 4 currently available.
    This would be a good improvement
    Furthermore, is it possible to shut down the serve message? Like the people that join or leave the server?
