I was doing some playing in HU_MGU and found a few settings I thought I'd play with.

Anyway, I can now config Sports Displays in HUD, which basically shows me a digital Tacho across the top of my HUD.

there was also some about shift lights, but nothing seemed to appear.

Anyone else played with this stuff?

Isn't the digital tach in the HUD something you can already get without coding? Mine has one.

kabongSteve ,

First off, I didn't do any coding, but found a HUD tach display -- it's a horizontal line that has red at far right & yellow next to it. Car's RPM show up above that line. At the very top edge of HUD, you'll see a red line when it's time to shift. I have tach displayed only in Sport mode, but you can have it displayed in all modes. Think you go to car, settings, HUD & I think it says display tach

BTW, I had to adjust HUD display area to see red line

Hope that helps

Can the digital tach with shift-change lights be made visible in the normal instrument cluster? I don't have HUD.

Yes, the tach and shift lights are already enabled in the HUD, no need for any coding

No, you misread my post, I'm asking about the normal instrument cluster, not the HUD.

Sorry, I wasn't responding to you

[kabongSteve]

Thanks obviously something i missed in earlier playing.

Would be interesting to know what the M hud was and what other features it has.

Apologies, my bad.

I believe you need the HUD since there isn’t any difference (no shift lights) in the live cockpit when that option is selected.

[hottroc]

Oh that's what I thought, that's a shame. Thanks anyway.

I might be mistaken. I just watched a video where the shift lights pop up in the live cockpit as well.

I don’t use that particular view in my car. But now I’m tempted to check it out. I’ll see if it works on my car too.

[hottroc]

Interesting! I'll have to have a play to see if I can get that. It's hard to tell if it's shift lights or rev-limit warning lights.

I assumed both were the same? It basically increases from yellow to red as the rpms enter 6k rpms and reaches the redline. And if you don't upshift when you hit the rev limiter, it becomes red and blinks till you do.

[hottroc]

Not both the same no. Shift lights show the ideal point to shift for max performance. That point is not necessarily (in fact almost certainly not) at max revs. If the lights change to red above 6k revs then they're probably not shift lights as I believe the max power point for a G20 is less than that.

[EDIT - Actually reading the wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_light it seems that the term means different things in different markets so maybe down to interpretation. Anyway my understanding is as above and certainly the most useful one. There's nothing to be gained from hitting the rev-limit]

What coding option did u do to enable this?
