Default Old dashes

What happened to some of the dashes that I used to use for Corsa?
I can't find this one in RS3 any more... I am probably missing something embarrassing. Can't see how I can download additions

Not the same and not as clear. Sure, you can make simpler things from individual elements, but the simple presets were what drivers and teams needed and used.

Horses for courses. I have more customers using different layouts than the standard, but it's whatever works for the user (not for me to decide). As time marches on, things change and the old displays aren't available with the new cameras.

Maybe you could make one you think is good for your new-to-you Corsa and share what you like? That might be helpful for both Dan and lots of other people reading along.

Here's the layout from my car that I used at the last and a basic one that has been used in a very large number of cars in Trans Am cars.

Ha! Dan is looking for a simple screen that will get him what he needs and you respond with an over the top homage to your mad skillz.

Looking forward to working with my Corsa.

So you won't share how you set your system up? I was offering ideas for Dan. I wouldn't say my drag and drop skillz are mad, but thanks for the compliment.

I’ll whip a little something up when I get my Corsa.

Meanwhile, here’s something to help Dan. It’s for a SC3 Sport, but addresses the questions the OP asks.

Default dash overlay

Thanks - I have watched hours of these videos. Most of this is straightforward. Configuring only from the SD card instead of direct connection seems like a design fault, but maybe because they have improved Smarty ability to run on its own.

(And thank you@matt for sending me a sample config/design)

BUT, the graphic options available for Smarty3 are limited compared to 2.1 and or use elements that waste visual space. I wanted the same overlay that I had already had in the Smartycam 2.1. I am guessing that the change in resolution required that all of these elements be redone. Probably an entirely new format. But the very basic elements that I showed in my original post are not available. The current options available are all too busy IMHO.

Look at the dash below.. I added an extra speed/RPM on the left just to make a point. They are both busy. I can control the data values, font, but not the background colors. Why not? I added throttle/brake bars separately here. But the simple layout on 2.1 just isn't available. The speed/RPM bars on the dash are two different grays.. I can't change that. etc etc etc
Answer == It is what it is

Perhaps additional elements can be added by someone into the "Extra" tab..

I think we lost something here in SC3. If we had more basic elements that we could assemble and set to desired the colors (and transparency) I would probably stop whining.
