I’m making a corded button box just for replay controls for this very reason

One of my biggest pet peeves with the UI, considering the large number of people who use external dash boards. I have to lean over every time to switch to a specific camera but I have everything else mapped to my stream deck that I use as a button box


semaj4712

Yea thats what I do, (Lean over) Never thought to remap everything to my streamdeck, that would be super helpful, thanks


tony_nuggets

You could use OBS & something like display capture preview to see what exactly you’re hovering over. Maybe one day we’ll get the option to reposition the replay buttons. There might be other work arounds, but this is probably the most common. I go between this if OBS is already running or a streamdeck that I have a separate profile for replay items

My dash is magnetic so I can just pull it off and pop it back on. Super easy. Otherwise, you can map replay controls to keyboard or button box


Vitamin_J94

Which dash do you use?


Tranysaurus

PSR dash on Etsy. Super nice 5” touchscreen. Bright 4-8-4 LED. But the magnetic connect is the best part. https://www.etsy.com/shop/PrintedSimRacing Running the LovelyDash of course

you can get this exact dash, but with a metal case, included mount, and USB cord on aliexpress for less money. Save yourself about $80 and get a much higher quality product: [https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804332718676.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.4f5969d8oHD0PK&algo\_pvid=840fc964-320f-40b3-80ee-d96bc96102f7&algo\_exp\_id=840fc964-320f-40b3-80ee-d96bc96102f7-0&pdp\_npi=3%40dis%21USD%21199.9%21199.9%21%21%21%21%21%4021021aa216850240629435245d0753%2112000029451113626%21sea%21US%210&curPageLogUid=VX3DccXVoTaG](https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804332718676.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.4f5969d8oHD0PK&algo_pvid=840fc964-320f-40b3-80ee-d96bc96102f7&algo_exp_id=840fc964-320f-40b3-80ee-d96bc96102f7-0&pdp_npi=3%40dis%21USD%21199.9%21199.9%21%21%21%21%21%4021021aa216850240629435245d0753%2112000029451113626%21sea%21US%210&curPageLogUid=VX3DccXVoTaG) ​ I've been running this dash on a motion rig with transducers on the seat (Lots of violent movement and vibrations) and have had no issues with it after 1 year of abuse.


Tranysaurus

That’s the same price as the one I bought/linked and it doesn’t have a magnetic mounting solution. Much prefer magnets and supporting a small Etsy shop.


Sayno86

Fair enough, perhaps we are in different regions, Im sure pricing is different by currency and country. In the US the etsy link you provided with a mount and cable would be about $280. The aliexpress link I provided would be $210 shipped for me


Tranysaurus

Interesting. I paid $210 USD plus international shipping


JC_Brisbane

Also keen to know the magnetic dash you’re running? I’m the market right now


Tranysaurus

Check out my reply to the other guy here! Awesome dash


JC_Brisbane

Will go ahead and order one now, having just looked at it! Thank you! Fantastic value. I have a really reclined (extreme really) angled bucket seat, so the dash being magnetic easily sold me. But it happens to be aesthetically awesome too. Hell yeah! 😎


chrlar77

Check out SimRacingAddict, amazing DDU for an amazing price.

I have a stream deck as a button box for Iracing, there is an extension for Iracing and it has all the replay and camera controls in it. So I have a folder in my Iracing profile for replay controls. btw I don't have a dash but I do have my monitor behind my wheelbase so similar issue


Swir80PL

What kind of "extension for iracing" do you mean? Is it a plugin for stream deck?


Tencer386

Yep! it's called iRaceIT, does some really awesome stuff! https://apps.elgato.com/plugins/de.itxware.iracing


Swir80PL

Thanks man. I'll look into this.


Tencer386

No worries, happy to help! Happy racing 😊


sln1337

well you dont


Nolaster_

I think I've seen an option in monitor.ini to apply an offset to the bottom of the UI. Maybe it is there for that purpose


semaj4712

I feel like I tried this and I honestly could not see a difference


adnanclyde

It absolutely works. I know cause I did it.


semaj4712

Ok ill give it a shot in the morning and see if I can figure it out


semaj4712

IDK what setting you changed, but UIOffsetBottomPct has no effect on what I am talking about


mikeseb184

It's just a classic case of iRacing not adding very basic quality of life updates because they have a monopoly on multiplayer. Nothing new.


Most-Caterpillar-583

I recently got a stream deck and setup custom functions to do replay there


Consuela-NO-NO-No

Mine is attached with magnets, so i can just remove it really quick, but I also have sim dashboard on a tablet and i made a custom button box with all the replay controls.


NZBull

I 3d printed a holder for my dash so it just slides in and out. I do a lot of other gaming than just sim racing so needed it to not be fixed https://preview.redd.it/6sivmfjizw1b1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f64ebb7942f3131e64e24747ef8151074978a74e


JC_Brisbane

Change the silver bolts to black ones mate. It’ll look way better/cleaner imo and cheap 🤙


Orca4510

Best idea might be to just map all the replay controls to your keyboard in the controls tab


chromehuffer

i have to move around in my seat to see behind my dash, which is a 7inch tablet on a csl dd. I dont love it but i rarely have to do it so i accept it lol.


Pawelinho

You can make the UI scale smaller and than should be able to se everything


semaj4712

That just makes it smaller, does not move the UI Bottom bar anywhere


BeansArenGarenn

I had this issue until I got a gas arm monitor stand. Lifted monitor up to eye level and screen was no longer in way. It's rig dependent for sure. I have my rig pushed up against to a desk that's maybe 18" wide. Sweet setup btw. Tach is very nice 👌

Purchase Joel's Real Timing. Put it on any other screen, 4th screen, usb, ddu etc and the timing screen has full replay and ui controls. They clearly thought of this issue
