SDK Gaming iRacing Overlay Review

[@curtiskrumel3275]

Hi David. A fellow Charlottean here. We'll have to grab a beer when this COVID crap is done. Your videos have been a great help in getting me started. Thanks.

[@vegas_pyrotechnics9820]

Thanks for video...How do you move the indivdual overlays around on screen?..I want to move driver info to center of screen instead of bottom left?

[@miknergaming6108]

Awesome video mate, very in depth. Keep up the good work

[@SoCanadianGamer]

Thank you for the video, I did the trial and and first glance I was as you put it "overwhelming", however I took your advice and took some time to really just mess with stuff. It is extremely powerful and really worth every penny.

[@RePete1975]

How do do you remove an overlay file to get back to the generic SDK as if it was just downloaded?

[@rodrigosiller573]

Hello , do you know how to use the final frame to see the results table? Thank you

[@djvoo19]

Great video, looking at getting the SDK overlay. Is there an option to show incidents at all?

[@fifesimracerguy455]

Question is would you be willing to do a new video using the new Nascar Timer Tower and Race HUD ?

[@LarryMcDonald08]

What button are you hitting, to show the changes your making in the above video instantly? Do you also, have the Hud open at the same time as the timing?

[@ak_simracing3590]

Hey, great video has helped me super to set up Sdk Gaming. how can I move the race info overlay? Have now tried many things but never managed that. Would be great if you could help me there! Thanks

[@dinovela36]

Very Nice David! One issue I'm having is I can't get the overlay to stay ingame when I go fullscreen it only works when I'm in windows. Anyway to fix this? Thanks !

[@jasoncamps77]

Does this package allow for tracking of multiple cars if you're crew chief'ing for a multi-car team? Even being able to highlight multiple cars in the map or standings would be helpful.

[@loaf21]

For as much as I enjoy your racing videos, I absolutely love your informative ones. Cheers!

[@RyanEllerbe]

How did you do the 3 leaders and then cars around you on the leader board? I changed it to 10 cars and put 4 in front of me and 6 behind me.

[@arekdbz3]

Important question. Can you see it while being in full window mode in iRacing ?

[@Sampsoid]

No but if you uncheck fullscreen and border in iRacing graphics there is no difference as it will fill your screen(s).

[@arekdbz3]

@@Sampsoid except windows taskbar (which I can hide ofc and upper bar)

[@Sampsoid]

Should be zero difference. I have never used fullscreen in iRacing and my startbar and everything is hidden. iRacing fills all my screens 100%. I have a couple of videos about it if it helps 👍🏻

[@macaukei426]

Hello...thank you for your review, could you mind to tell me where can I load the fuel component, because I want to hide it

[@joseba.Imanol1]

Hello does it work in VR?

[@gamerdad3140]

I cannot get SDK to working with iracing manger any suggestions?

[@kptv75]

Ok you you compared this to kapps. So this system is like kapps? Also how many of the other programs does SDK over take that you were using in the past but are now using SDK. I see you have iRacing manager, Kapps, Syncs, VRS, weekly planner, crew chief, kapps track map, etc. which ones would SDK.gaming elevate the need to download and use?

[@OnlyFoolsGaming]

Hi Dave Can you tell me what headset you are using? The mic sounds perfect.

[@rizzlerix9605]

Hi mate, great video. Are you able to copy and paste your Style overrides as I would like mine to look pretty much exactly like yours, I would copy and paste the parts I need as I understand copying and pasting the lot will probably not work. If you can do that, that would be great mate

[@1976Cordoba]

Why have you switched to Racelabs?

[@andrewbillowsatmtatravel5880]

Another video full of Gold Nuggets Dave....thanks again....

[@ruf01au]

Hi David - loving your content - its the reason i just dloaded iracing and about to go in my first practice/race. Can you use SDK through VR ? I use a Reverb

[@katiedugas6750]

I have been going through a lot of these videos, and I can see how to make the overlay work as far as the screen works... but is there any possible way to make this work in VR? I recently went from the Oculus to the Pimax and this is where it would be needed.. Any input is appreciated! Thanks!

[@jamessharpe7407]

Excellent stuff as always David and thanks for the discount! I can't figure out how to add components though. You have more blue boxes than I have. I've downloaded the "components" as they call them but I don't know how to add them into the software. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[@jamessharpe7407]

Never mind I got it sorted out. Different project files was the culprit.

[@Sampsoid]

Ah sorry I missed your message James, glad you sorted it. Anything else let me know. Discord invite - discord.gg/MnPsUbv

[@OnlyFoolsGaming]

Is it 100 per year?

[@erikrenner]

I see you finally checked out the SDK one I told you about.

[@Sampsoid]

Yes thanks for the tip mate.

[@erikrenner]

@@Sampsoid I'm glad you love it. I loved it too...but so expensive. 😭

[@erikrenner]

@@Sampsoid I may switch back to this from Kapps for $10 U.S. per month. Probably worth the extra $7 over Kapps monthly fee.

[@KingSimRacing]

Hi mate just installed it myself and very impressed. Like you say extremely low on CPU usage you dont even know its running. Do you know how to reposition the timing tower at all? I want to nudge the entire tower down so I can still use my different overlay. Also how did you remove the SDK logo?

[@Sampsoid]

Hiya, yes to reposition the timing tower. Open the Live Timing App, click the settings (hamburger) menu. Scroll down to Overlay and click Style Overrides. One that opens look for .overlay>.standings { Inside there change the top to move it down. To remove the logo, in the Live Timing app, click one of the arrows on each side of screen and look for Logo in top middle and select Hide.

[@KingSimRacing]

@@Sampsoid thank you so much David, that's really helpful! I will have a play around now, thanks!

[@Sampsoid]

Glad it helped mate.

[@IvoLaubscher]

Thanks mate for this video. 100% what i need

[@Sampsoid]

No problem 👍

[@MySimRacer]

Always liked the look of this, have used and paid for kapps for some time. Been trialing a new one recency (free) but may take ankther look at this thanks to your vid. 👍

[@Sampsoid]

No problem mate, your welcome. Happy hunting, overlays are worth the time getting right for sure.

[@jtburn7862]

I tried it and found it overly complex. The cost is also a big factor.

[@stevieb931]

This is so good but what pissed me of is that iracing should already have this on their game. As much as I love iracing it sucks at the same time.

[@NylonStrings46]

How to install would have been a big help....

[@Sampsoid]

Hiya John, good point. I almost thought it wasn’t worth mentioned as it is real simple. It installs like any other widows program. Once installed, open SDK Gaming Live Timings app then the SDK Gaming Overlay and you will be up and running.

[@juanchix88]

Hey David, great vid. Would've been nice to have the tiniest of mentions of where you found the overlay haha jk brother. Keep it up!!!!

[@juanchix88]

By the way, what I love the most about SDK is customization. They really nailed it on this one and competition just doesn't have it. And their customer support through Discord is out of this world.

[@Sampsoid]

Yeh really pleased with it, I'm still paying with all the settings after all this time

[@Sampsoid]

Doh 🤦🏻‍♂️ Sorry mate, spent so long planning the video I forgot. Well I owe you one 🏆

[@janeksheppix]

Hello, I have a question. Can you have two overlays at same time? One for your monitor in race, and second for OBS recording/streaming which viewers will see. For example: I will see in race map on my right screen, but viewers will see it on the main screen, because they can't see whole triple screen.

[@Sampsoid]

Yes indeed you can exactly as you describe.

[@janeksheppix]

Great, thank you :-)

[@Sampsoid]

@@janeksheppix No worries mate, good luck with it all and hope to see you on track

[@PeterJohansen271088]

Would you mind telling how you did that. 😊

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

What happened to SDK? Just watched you live and you don’t use it anymore!

[@PitmanKelly-k4g]

[@hanjarake_taro]

its so hard to even find out how to move around the boxes. the developper does not care about useabililty at all

[@chrismathewsjr]

Kind of expensive for an overlay. Subscribed for like 3 months and then realized that's a lot of nickel and diming for a slightly better interface than iRacing.

[@emils_lv1423]

Nice👍

[@Sampsoid]

Thanks a lot

[@Peterb1975]

Only downside is cost for me

[@Peterb1975]

I did have it and loved it, changed to Kapps, while it's ok it seems a bit buggy and doesn't update as well as sdk

[@Sampsoid]

Yeah I get you, it's why I reached out for a 10% code as every little helps. Thanks for watching.

[@stevieb931]

If it was half the price of what it is now I'd consider it but for $150AUD ITS super expencive. It's basically paying the same to sub to iracing for a year.
