Overlay design

Make sure to set a transparent or half transparent background to each screen.

Game requirements

Make sure to set your game in windowed or borderless windowed mode, vsync is strongly suggested for optimal performances.

Performances

SimHub overlays are not a d3d graphic hook, it's a series of borderless windows, shown over the game in these conditions the result can vary a lot depending of your hardware settings.

  • Performances will vary a lot depending of the game settings. Make sure to enable vsync when possible.
  • Reduce the overlay surfaces as much as possible (space taken on the screen, even if totally transparent have an impact)
  • Try to enable the HTML rending mode of simhub (accessible by clicking on "more" on each overlay)

Overlays size limit

To avoid oversized overlays causing performances issues, a size (surface) limit exists.

Width * Height must be below or equals to 800 * 600 (480 000‬ pixels) For instance :

  • 800 * 600 overlay will be allowed
  • 800 * 800 overlay will be blocked
  • 300 * 1200 overlay will be allowed (400 * 1200 is below 800 * 600)
