General Settings

ATVO General Settings

Data Source​

This dropdown is used to select where you want to receive data from. Default value is iRacing, but it can also be changed to Data Tunnel or Telemetry Recorder depending on which data source you would like to use.

Note: changing the Data Source requires a restart of ATVO

Global Settings​

Disable hardware acceleration​

When checked hardware acceleration is disabled. This is an experimental feature since the effect varies depending on your use-case and system.

Note: changing this settings requires a restart of ATVO

Use Metric Units​

When checked ATVO uses metric values. Otherwise it will use imperial values.

Use Live Data​

Toggles live data (i.e. live positions, etc.)

Use Legacy Gap​

It is not recommended to use Legacy Gap calculation since it is less accurate. But if you encounter any problems with the calculation of gaps it might be worth a try.

Gap update rate (per second)​

Changes the update rate for gap calculation.

Use Data Delay​

You can delay the data you receive from the specified data source. Default is 30 frames. It helps keeping the overlay and the simulation in sync.

Overlay​

Show Overlay​

Enables the overlay rendering.

Show Border​

Shows a border around the overlay canvas.

Positioning offset (x/y)​

Specifies where to draw the overlay. If the overlay should be drawn starting in the very top left corner of the screen use the following setting:

  • X: 0
  • Y: 0

Overlay resolution (Width/Height)​

Using this setting you can specify the resolution/canvas size of the overlay. It is highly recommended to not use overlays larger than 1920x1080.

Elements always on top​

Check which part of ATVO should always be rendered on top. This especially helps in hectic situations during a production since you will not need to look for a window you need to use right away.

Theme Auto Loading​

You can specify the path to an ATVO theme file using the Browse button. Doing so will automatically load the specified theme after starting ATVO.

Driver and team name settings​

Driver name abbreviation mode​

This drop down allows you to choose how the driver names should be abbreviated. The following options are available:

1 letter first name + 2 letter last name​

Example: Tom Smith would be TSM

1 letter first name + 1 letter last name​

Example: Tom Smith would be TS

3 letters last name​

Example: Tom Smith would be SMI

2 letters last name​

Example: Tom Smith would be SM

Truncate team names at "$"​

Enabling this option will truncate team names at the $ sign.

Example: Team Appgineering $Blue would appear as Team Appgineering in the overlay.

Important: Remember to restart ATVO after changing this setting.

Stat Files​

You can use csv-files exported from the iRacing website to get additional information. (Experimental)
