Hi everyone,
I noticed the thread has been quiet for a while, but this HUD remains a high-quality recreation of the GT7 interface. I have been working on a few personal tweaks to introduce some features I personally felt the need for during my driving sessions, and I thought I'd share them here for anyone interested.
Here's what I worked on, based on the original code:
- In-game Clock: I tweaked "positions_hud.lua" to display the in-game Time of Day (HH:MM format) right below the position box. Its style is inspired by the race timers introduced in the GT7 Power Pack endurance races, using the same font scaling as the rest of the UI.
- Time Control App (Standalone): I wanted a quick, on-the-fly way to adjust the session time of day without having to open the Photo Mode app or other config menus, so I wrote a custom standalone utility app designed to visually match the HUD's button cluster (ABS/TCS style). It adds + and - buttons to skip time forward/backward by 30 minutes. It functions as a standard draggable app, so you can position the buttons wherever you prefer on your screen (e.g., stacked right next to the speedo or near the track map). To keep the UI clean and mostly untouched, the buttons automatically fade to transparency when not in use.
While the Time Control app is not tied to the HUD, it’s still using design elements from it, so I’ve decided it would be best to share it here in this thread.
Installation:
Clock: Replace the positions_hud.lua file located in: assettocorsa\apps\lua\GT7HUD\screens\ (Backup the original first!).
Time Control: Simply drag and drop the zip file into Content Manager (or manually extract to your apps/lua folder).
Disclaimer: Given the thread's long inactivity, I chose not to disturb the original author with direct requests. However, these are strictly
unofficial contributions meant to keep this amazing HUD app fresh. If the original author (Which I can't seem to manage to ping in this post) has any objections or feels this infringes on their work in any way, please simply send me a message and I will remove the files immediately.
Huge thanks to the original author for the base work. Hope you guys find these edits useful!
