Hi All Sim-Racer!
The new F1Dash plugin for rFactor is now available it contains a lot of improvement and cool feature like the Optimal Shift Points tracking for example…  The minimal requirement to use all feature of F1Dash plugin (excepted the great F1Wheel board from Leo) are:

1 switch of minimum  6 pos.  (SpeedDIGITS - sw1)
1 switch of minimum 21 pos.  or better use 2 buttons (LCD - sw2 )
1 switch of minimum 12 pos.  (TimeDIGITS - sw3)
Optional:
1 switch of minimum  6 pos.  (Leds Brigtness)
1 switch of minimum  6 pos.  (Digits Brigtness)

Buttons assigned:
1 button assigned to Speed Limiter
1 button assigned to Optimal Shift Points Tracking (OSPT)
1 button assigned to TC (optional)
2 buttons assigned to next and previous LCD Info Panel (no need switch in that case)

Read the ini file for more options.

Tips:
To be very close to F1 shiftlights you have to change the default config (F1Dash.ini) with:
SHIFTLIGHTSTYPE = 2

SHIFTLIGHTSBLACKOUTDELAY = 18

RPM1 = 96% // 1st bar (GREEN) threshold relative to redline
RPM2 = 96% // 2nd bar (GREEN) threshold relative to redline
RPM3 = 98% // 3rd bar (YELLOW) threshold relative to redline
RPM4 = 98% // 4th bar (YELLOW) threshold relative to redline
RPM5 = 99% // 5th bar (RED) threshold relative to redline
RPM6 = 99% // 6th bar (RED+) threshold relative to redline
