Vulkan rFactor2 HUD

This project is an attempt to render custom HUD elements for rFactor2 by being a Vulkan layer.

Current state

I would consider the following elements as working:

• Leader Board (enabled on in race)
• Radar
• Pedals

How to enable

Archlinux based

Simply use the PKGBUILD from the pkgbuild directory (How to use it)

Manual installation

1. Build this repository cargo build --release
2. Change the path where the libvk_layer_rs.so is located (library_path parameter in the rFactorOverlay.json file)
3. Put the rFactorOverlay.json into a layer directory (layer directories)

---

• Add RFACTOR_HUD=1 to steam launch command (example: RFACTOR_HUD=1 %command%)

A config file is generated the first time you start it at: $HOME/.config/rFactorHUD/config.json

Requirement

You need to have rFactor2 memory plugin shared file enabled (rF2SharedMemoryMapPlugin_Wine)
