rFactor 2 Build 1.1119 Available, Adds Option For Custom Overlays

Broadcast overlays are now integrated into the simulation since build 1118. That means you can use them directly in-game or with a broadcasting tool like OBS or XSplit. The overlays comes with a separate control panel can be used to control cameras as well as enable specific broadcast elements. It is available as a web page, which means you can remotely control the connected client from another computer or tablet. The overlay itself is also available as a transparent web page for integration into broadcast tools, but it is also available directly in-game when you watch in full-screen. There is also a system to customize overlays for your own league, tweaking colors, adding your own logos and customizing the style through CSS (cascading style sheets). This customization also includes support for setting safe regions when broadcasting to linear TV, and a way for a single control panel to control multiple clients in case you need to stream the same cameras to different output formats in the highest quality, completely removing the need for expensive frame interpolation hardware.
