iOverlay has all you need really, and for a completely free software it's quite feature rich, and the developer's dev road map is huge, so if they keep up the pace with other overlays I think eventually it will be a no-brainer to use it.

I just wish iOverlay had better track maps. It's a bit too limited right now. Other than that, I love using it.

now it wont be free :(

I was the car behind you in the GR at Willow Springs clip for RL. I saw you on track during that practice session and wondered why you weren't in the race. Just gathering content!

I use Kapps or iOverlay sometimes. Both are really good.

I spent months in SDK where I changed and customised everything possible. But that was back when they were just moving into the driver/streamer market. It is by far the most professional looking at the top end because it was designed for broadcasting. If you don't mind the work it takes to modify and change things using code (and maybe learning the code) it is certainly worth the effort.

And iOverlay is going to a monthly sub. Lots of essential features will probably be behind a paywall. Proof that we can't have nice things

Great video comparing the available overlays. I’ve been using ioverlay and love it. The track map does act up sometimes in multi-class where I can’t see the other class. Otherwise, it’s solid. The best part about ioverlay is the frequent updates that addresses bugs, so it’s my go to overlays now.

any chance you could see which ones work best in VR as well

Iracing needs to catch up and have these overlays in game like every other game , 20 yrs behind iracing .. Get with it

@@mintyCS I wish it was the end of those uggly black box's but I don't see it happening , iracing brings in over 1,000,000 a month (100,000 racers 10 ) and the game is constantly been 10yrs behind , all that cash you would think development would actually happen instead of tiny updates , took 4 yrs to get new tires on everything ?

RaceLab is my ❤. I overlays = on my radar now. Gonna be checking that out. Thx for vid. Nu sub here.

JRT is awesome for team endurance racing. I agree the standings isn't all that useful while driving, but you can set up the standings page to give so much useful information on another monitor for use while you're not in the car. Supposedly if your team is running it you can set it up to transfer fuel info from the current driver so you can know usage when you're not in the car. I however haven't quite figured out how to actually do it.

Thank you Emily Jones!

IOverlay amazing

Guys, I'm getting a severe micro stutter whilst running iracing in borderless windowed mode, every ten seconds or so. It stops immediately if I put it on border or full screen. Any ideas? It's driving me nuts. Task manager isn't showing anything unusual. Obviously this is a problem because I want to use ioverlay with borderless window mode but I can't due to the stutter.

Which overlay works best with VR, and I use Open XR as the "driver" for my headset visuals and don't run anything thru Steam.

I do t think much works with openxr right now. Race labs are working on it. In their discord there’s a discussion about using open kneeboard to get it working now but it’s quite complex.

One main issue I had is, with Ioverlay, my Iracing OBS recordings were basically powerpoint presentation. There is some bug which is causing this which i haven't figured out why because I record Star citizen at 50Mbps with zero stutter. so for recording Racelabs' standings and for actual racing ioverlay is the best

Try disabling hardware acceleration for browser sources

Is anyone using these overlays with NVIDIA Surround? (triple monitors)

I’ve had iOverlay doing some pretty weird stuff while in iRacing. Has anyone else experienced this? Like the throttle got stuck or iRacing crashed. I never ver have had these problems when not using iOverlay.

Not a problem I can say I've had. It's been working fairly good on my end.

I'm getting micro stutters every ten seconds or so with it, but I think it's due to the windowed mode, stops on full screen

why is the gameplay a spec at 11:41 🤣

Which has the least impact on your framerate?

Can't say for Kapps, but iOverlay is a far lighter programme to run vs Racelabs. In RAM terms, it's 1/3 to 1/2 of the RAM, Racelabs uses a comical amount of memory for what it does.

I’d say ioverlay and kapps. If streamers use kapps it’ll be because of that.

Racelabs here because i race on 4K Tv and VR

When do you find time to race with all that crap?

u know they were getting paid thats why kapps was first. if this was a unbiased review. all day ioverlay should be first because its FREE!!!!!!

I can absolutely assure you, that we have not been paid by any of the different tools/overlays. If that would ever be the case, we would clearly mark that. But of course people have different opinions regarding which overlay they prefer (for me it would be RaceLabs right now, might change who knows). But of course free options area always great and it really depends on if you can make use of any additional "paid options". - Rene
