    For those of you that you use the dashpanel app or the equivalent, what are the must haves to have displayed?
    (For project cars)
    Too many options

    • Tyre wear, temp and pressure
    • Previous lap and Best Lap
    • Fuel usage
    • Damage (If in a room with damage tuned on)
    • ARB and Brake Bias (If possible)
    That's all i can really think of off the top of my head. Luckily it's quite easy to keep track of things on project cars, although fuel can be a nightmare, however it can also save you a lot of time so if you can calculate fuel on the fly it will help a lot, unless the app you have does that for you.

    What about track & air temp? Not worth having?

    I just switch it to the one with the gear indicator with the speed and tyre wear indicators. It also doubles as a shift light as the whole screen lights up. I've got the left and right direction pad on my t300 set to swap screens on the fly so I can swap to the screens with tyre temps/lap times/fastest laps etc

    During a race I like to use the leaderboard page (pCars Dash app) so that I can tell what lap times others are doing, what position everyone is in, who is pitting and who has pulled over.

    Using pCars dash?
    How did you map the steering wheel buttons to change the pages?

    Just go to the direct mode (UDP) button mappings page under options.

    I used this: https://www.pocketplayground.net/pcars-dash
    however i no longer play project cars so there could be better options out there, although this was the best when i was racing and couldn't fault it.
    On Pcars, maybe, but track temp seemed to make very little difference compared to the likes of Assetto Corsa and iRacing.

    Can you run the pcars dash app and the crew chief app at the same time?
