For all subscribers there is a new feature available with the next recorder update for both ACC and LMU.

All laps you have access to, can now be sent to the recorder as a reference and displayed in a purpose built overlay.

The reference data is synced to where you are on track. This way you can copy the reference's inputs as you are driving.

How to use

Syncing Data

Any lap on the website you have access to will have a small radio-icon at the top of every opened lap. Either click on a lap:

• in "my laps", or
• open a lap from a purchased data pack, or
• from within a team
• and find the "radio" icon on top of the page - CLICK! (more and easier access points are coming)

Now just also hit "sync lap" in the recorder screen for the data to appear. Drive!

If you want to clear the reference data, press "clear lap" and only your own inputs will appear.

If you want to show another lap, just hit the radio icon on the website of another lap, sync again - done!

Position and Size

We recommend positioning the UI using the (temporary Y+-, W+-, H+-) buttons in the recorder window where you can easily see the upcoming inputs without having to take your eyes off the road and build references on track alongside the reference provided by the recorder. More options to adjust the appearance (size, colors) will follow.

Streaming

The overlay will show with a black background in OBS. 
Add a "effect filter" to the window source of the overlay and add a color key in #000000 black.

Known issues and future functions

• Sometimes the black background will be in the foreground when first starting the recorder. Alt+tab or just clicking anywhere with the mouse should bring back the game.
• horizontal adjustments are missing
• Silverstone and Spa in ACC have a slight offset of the finish line in the overlay. This does not affect the rest of the data points - so feel free to ignore
• we are aware of potential green/red vision difficulties. Allowing custom colors is on our todo
• a real time delta is planned
• a horizontal position comparison to the reference is also in the making allowing you to easier position your car correctly

Report any bugs on Discord and hope this helps improving lap times further!

We are looking for you.

If you are nerdy about your favorite sim and know what you are doing in regards to setup as well as having a clean, fast and consistent driving style, you now have another opportunity to earn!

As a Popometer creator you can earn by creating any so far non-existent data pack (LMU, ACC, iRacing, AMS2) and we will directly credit 20€ into your account, while you keep receiving earnings the same way as before through either direct sales, bundle sales or ultimate subscription activations.

This way we hope to increase the amount of data packs across all games, making popo the cheapest service from the user perspective, while allowing them to tap into data packs for all games with a single subscription. While we also stick to the principal of having you participate in more sales and eventually earning more. Needless to say, that if you start mass producing bullshit to collect the 20€ - that won't work for long ;) 

But at least you will earn a minimum for perhaps more rarely sold combos. LMU has also received the advanced telemetry channels, so that we are ready for any further growth of the game.

Reach out via mail (info@popometer.io) or Discord. 

One Sub for all your needs

Popometer.io now offers the ultimate subscription, which gives you 15 monthly data pack activations of any game. For as long as you are subscribed you keep access to those. If your sub expires, you lose access. If you re-subscribe, you regain access. Simple as that.

The extra 5€ you pay in the ultimate sub are going into a pool for all creators, that we distribute to them so that they benefit from more activations, too. 

Additionally, you will find another new option in the subscriptions: The possibility to activate LFM Patreon features. Once you choose one of these options, using your SteamID (so please connect Steam in your Popo account), LFM will activate all Patreon features for you - all in a single sub.
