Settings and units

Everything you can set in AB Racing Line is in one panel: the units every number is shown in, the size of the app, whether the setup page may ask about your garage, help when something looks wrong, and your account.

UnitsDisplay units

Open Display units

Click Display units at the top of the panel.

Pick Metric or Imperial, or mix your own

Metric and Imperial set everything at once. To mix, pick each kind on its own, say mph with °C and psi: the set becomes Custom.

Press Save

Every number in the app follows straight away: every tab, your engineer's coaching, the setup changes and the overlays. Your choice is kept for next time.

Garage settings keep a garage scale. Ride heights, toe and other small garage measurements show in millimetres, or inches in imperial, whatever you pick for distance, so a ride height never reads as 0.1 of a metre.

SizeUI scale: the size of the app

It scales text and boxes together, so everything stays in proportion. Bigger helps when the app is on a screen you read from your seat.

Car setupQuestions about your garage

Under CAR SETUP, the tick box Ask me for garage limits the app doesn't know decides whether Your Car Setup may ask you where a setting stops on your car, or its choices in order. It's on to start with. The questions appear under the row they're about, two at a time, and only when a change needed the answer. Pressing Stop asking on one of them unticks this box; tick it again to have them back. More in When we ask where a setting stops.

HelpQuick fixes, release notes and licences

Quick fixes lists the few things that look broken but take ten seconds to fix, like an overlay that went missing or an OBS source that went blank. The same list is in Questions and quick fixes.

Release notes shows what changed in the version you're running. It also opens by itself once, the first time you start a new version.

Third-party licences lists the open-source software inside the app, each with its licence (the THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt file beside the app).

Tell usSend us feedback

Send Feedback: bug report, feature request or question

The speech bubble beside the gear opens Send Feedback. Pick Bug report, Feature request or Question, fill in the details and press Send Feedback. A bug report asks what happened and how to make it happen again, and can carry a screenshot (up to 5 MB). It comes straight to us with the version of the app and of Windows you're on, and the name and email address on your account, so we can reply to you there (the window says so).

Tick Include the app's log (helps us find the problem) to send the app's own log with your message: what it saw while you drove, such as why the overlays hid or the live data stopped. It's sent only when you tick it.

Or come and talk to us in Discord.
