📢 New Free Update! Racing Engineer Subtitles Add-on for iRacing BlackBox MFD

Hi everyone! 🏎️💨

Today I’m bringing you a small but great quality-of-life (QoL) upgrade for your simracing sessions. If you are using the fantastic iRacing BlackBox MFD overlay, this is going to interest you!

I have developed a completely free add-on/plugin that integrates a real-time text box for your race engineer's audio messages, working similarly to the native iRacing spotter text.

🛠️ What does this new plugin do?

On-Screen Engineer Subtitles: Every time your racing engineer talks to you (fuel updates, traffic alerts, lap times, etc.), a dedicated text box will display the exact message on your screen.

Fully Movable & Lockable: You can click and drag the text box anywhere on your screen to fit your specific cockpit layout. Once you find the perfect spot, you can lock it in place so it stays fixed and out of the way during heavy racing.

Full Mapping Control: I have fully integrated the feature into the Key Bindings settings tab. You can easily map a button on your wheel or button box to toggle or trigger the iRacing Spotter Report panel on the fly.

Clean & Unified Aesthetics: The text box style perfectly matches the original MFD UI and typography, ensuring it looks like a natural extension of your HUD without breaking immersion.

⚠️ Important Requirement

Please note that for now, this add-on only works in combination with the Racing Engineer Driver Audio mod.

You will need to have that mod installed for the subtitles to appear.

Huge thanks to PEREGRAAAA for creating it! You can find and download their official mod on Overtake.gg here: Racing Engineer Driver Audio.
