A live AMS2 dashboard and button box on your Stream Deck
To see in Automobilista 2 whether your fuel lasts to the flag and how far the cars ahead and behind are, add Race Deck: Automobilista 2, set Shared Memory to Project CARS 2 once in the game's Options > System and drag its Fuel and Position keys onto your Stream Deck. The Fuel key checks your laps of fuel left against the laps to the flag and turns red with SHORT when you are short, while more keys show a live delta to your fastest lap, your TC and ABS level and brake bias, your tyres and your stint, and any key can send the game key you choose.
Stream Deck plugin · Works on Windows 10 or later with the Stream Deck app 6.9 or later and Automobilista 2 on PC with Shared Memory set to Project CARS 2.
What you can do
Know if your fuel reaches the flag: litres or US gallons with a tank bar, laps of fuel left and fuel per lap from your recent clean laps. In a race they are checked against the laps to the flag, timed races too, with SHORT 1.4 LAPS in red when it falls short and yellow with under a lap to spare.
Watch the cars around you: your place and the cars in the session, and in a race the gaps to the cars ahead and behind in seconds (or laps), plus a drive-through or stop and go to serve.
Find time on every lap: the live delta to your fastest lap, green when ahead and red when behind, or the current lap time, with your last and fastest lap.
See your assists: the traction control and ABS level of the car (OFF at 0) and the brake bias in percent to the front.
Read your tyres: the four tyres in their corners as colors, with the compound when it fits, showing wear (0 = new), tread or tyre temperature (C or F), or pressure (psi, kPa or bar).
Follow the session and your stint: time left, or the lap of a lap race with the laps to go, the flag (blue, yellow, red, black, chequered and more), pit lane, pit box and LIMITER, the laps and driving time of your stint, a pit stop you requested and the lap of a mandatory stop.
Use it as a button box: every key can send a game key you choose (such as F13 or Ctrl+Shift+P) for TC, ABS or brake bias up and down, by default only while the game is in front, so presses stay out of your other windows.
Your units and language: litres or US gallons, C or F, psi, kPa or bar, in English and Japanese.
Runs entirely on your PC and only reads the race data the game shares. Nothing is written to the game or sent over the network. No account, no analytics.
How it works
Install the plugin from the Elgato Marketplace.
In Automobilista 2 open Options > System and set Shared Memory to Project CARS 2. You do this once.
Drag the keys you want onto your Stream Deck and drive. The keys show your car as soon as you are on track.
To send keys, enter a key in a key's settings and bind the same key in the game's controls. F13 to F24 avoid clashes.
The Status line in each key's settings shows what the key reads and the last key it sent.
Borderless Fullscreen Keys: Make a windowed game borderless fullscreen with one Stream Deck key, and put it back with another press.
Cab Deck for Train Sim World: Show Train Sim World speed limits and the next signal on Stream Deck keys, and work cab controls with a press.
Cockpit Gauges for War Thunder: Show War Thunder airspeed, altitude, fuel, engine temperatures and tank crew live on Stream Deck keys.
Crosshair Overlay for Games: Show a crosshair in the center of your screen over windowed and borderless games from a Stream Deck key.
Game Key Guard for Windows: Turn off the Windows key and Alt+Tab while you play with one Stream Deck key; press again to turn them back on.
Live Cockpit for X-Plane 12: Switch X-Plane 12 gear, flaps, autopilot and lights from Stream Deck keys that show their real state.
Questions
How do I show Automobilista 2 telemetry on my Stream Deck?
In Automobilista 2 open Options > System and set Shared Memory to Project CARS 2 once. Then drag the keys of Race Deck: Automobilista 2 onto your Stream Deck and drive; the keys show your car as soon as you are on track.
Will my fuel last to the flag?
In a race the Fuel key checks your laps of fuel left against the laps to the flag, timed races too, counted to the leader's flag. It shows SHORT with the laps missing in red when the fuel will not reach the finish and turns yellow with less than a lap to spare.
Which Shared Memory setting do I need?
Project CARS 2, in Options > System. With None or Project CARS 1 the keys say NO GAME, and the other settings next to it can stay as they are.
Are the gaps for my class?
The gaps are the time gaps the game itself shares to the cars ahead and behind in the overall standings, whatever their class, in seconds or in laps once a car is a lap or more away.
Can my Stream Deck change TC, ABS and brake bias in AMS2?
Yes. Enter a key such as F13 in a key's settings and bind the same key in the game's controls, for example TC, ABS or brake bias up or down, or a pit request. The TC / ABS / Brake Bias key shows the level of each assist and the bias in percent to the front.
Does it change the game or need a mod?
No. It only reads the data the game shares once Shared Memory is set. Nothing is installed into the game folder and nothing is written to the game.
Limits
Windows only (Windows 10 or later), with Automobilista 2 on the same PC as your Stream Deck. Project CARS 2 itself and other games that share data the same way show UNSUPPORTED instead of numbers.
Gaps are not split by class.
Tyre wear is the game's own wear value x 100: 0 = new, around 50 = worn out.
The keys show NO GAME while the game is closed or Shared Memory is off or set to another mode, and VIEWING with your last values while another car is shown.
Fuel per lap needs one full lap without a pit lane visit. The delta needs your fastest lap seen by the plugin from line to line; laps the game marks invalid do not count. Both restart with a new session.
Sent keys do not reach a game running as administrator: start it normally (the display keys still work).
