iRacing Generated Images

For some widgets, the theme can query your local iRacing service for images of a specific driver or car. So far these include:

  • Car number images (as defined by the driver in their iRacing UI)
  • Helmet images (as defined by the driver OR with a custom paint)
  • Car images (as defined in the Paint shop OR with a custom paint)

When enabled, the theme will use images generated by iRacing to display these objects.

Ensure the iRacing local service is running​

Note: this system only works if ATVO is running on a computer where:

  • iRacing is installed
  • The local iRacing Helper Service is running.

Also note that car images will only show for cars that you have downloaded (but not necessarily purchased).

Custom paints​

The theme is able to show cars and helmets with custom paints (specified as usual via a TGA file), but ATVO has to know about the location of these paints first. To set this location, find the regular ATVO settings (not the Theme Settings) and go to Car, Number and Helmet images. Here, you can specify the directory where your custom paints are located. Note that this must be a location that ends in 'iRacing/paints'.
