Race Lab for the advanced panel overlay.
crew chief for call outs.
trading paints for custom liveries.
garage61, iOveraly(has a free input graph unlike racelab, but doens't have a nice advanced panel), VRS....
Crew chief is a must have and it’s free. Racelab overlays if you’re non VR, and I have the VRS sub for telemetry but considering Garage61.
-
Ioverlay - A (for now) free and better version of overlays, like racelab.
-
Tradingpaints - Custom Paints and sets of AI cars for offline races.
-
garage61 Free Telemetry logging and comparison tool. A bit like VRS.
-
OpenXR Toolkit Great tool to customise your OpenXR experenice
Racelab, although the dev is an asshole for numerous reasons.
I'm not familiar with the dev, what've they done?
He didn't charge a lot of people last year, and charged people the unpaid amounts a couple of months ago in a one off charge. And I believe he tried charging people who had also cancelled. Not to mention he was talking shit about his customers on Discord and disclosing their details. There was a big uproar about it on /r/simracing.
Oh wow, thanks for the heads up. I am fairly new to sim racing so I didn't see the uproar about it.
Stuffed up their payment systems so people had been getting premium for months and not paying for it. Instead of copping it on the chin they tried to claw money back from people. Did not work out to well.
You have got to have Trading Paints for custom paint jobs. I am also using the driver61 data logging - you can easily compare laps with other drivers to see where you are getting it wrong, or can improve.
I've been using https://ioverlay.app/ as an alternative to Racelab for a while. There's a few things missing compared to Racelab. It's still in beta but it's pretty good, doesn't seem to consume many resources and it's free, for now anyways.
