The Library now has tabs for dashboards, overlays, widgets, and themes. Filter to the item you want, then choose New to start with that type. In the dashboard editor, Text adds headings or multiline notes beside live widgets such as a Gauge. Image adds theme artwork or your own pictures. Both work on dashboards and overlays.
Select a Data or Gauge widget to style its label and value separately. Size, alignment, and color stay in the sidebar. The typography button opens font family, weight, case, line height, and letter spacing, with a preview of the result. Individual reset buttons return a setting to the dashboard theme without clearing your other choices.
Conditions can now change background fills, text response, and gauge settings as live data changes. The action menu groups these choices with text, border, visibility, and flash effects.
Edit the screen between sessions
The Idle screen now appears beside Main in the dashboard editor. Add, move, layer, and style widgets on it as you would on any other screen. Use an Image widget for artwork or a background, add Text for a message, or arrange a driver card from Data widgets in a group.
Existing idle images, backgrounds, and driver cards become editable widgets when you open an older dashboard. The screen still appears automatically when iRacing disconnects and gives way to your racing screen when telemetry returns.
Updates when you are finished using the app
KPM Sim Kit can now download a new release in the background and install it after you close the manager and active racing or dashboard use has stopped. You can still choose Install now in Settings when you want the update sooner.
Before switching versions, setup checks your saved dashboards and profiles and keeps a backup. If the new app cannot start, it restores the previous version and data.
More in this release
- Telemetry: Choose Automatic — current car for the steering-wheel display to use artwork from your installed iRacing car files, with a generic wheel when artwork is unavailable.
