    Since "minimal engine thermals debug" by @Nadeox1 is bugged and not longer available and because the official "EngineThermalDebug" UI app by @Diamondback is a bit much for regular driving I have decided to create my own version based upon the official UI app but with only the most useful values in it.

    Disclaimer: This is little more than a truncated version of the official UI app and my first mod ever. Use at your own risk. If your computer bursts into flames.... dont say I didnt warn you. :p

    Known issues:
    Does somewhat confict with the official UI app. You have to disable the "EngineThermalDebug" app (removing it from your screen) and then restart the game. Then add my UI app to your ingame screen. For removal, remove my UI app from your screen. Restart the game. Add the offical UI app to your screen. Done.

    This is a good way to get started. I haven't tested this yet but I will. If your computer bursts into flames, then you should probably stop using overclocked Pentium 4s with the cooler removed.

    Nice :) What's the issue with the conflicting? It's perfectly possible to have two apps show the same data if the setup is correct. (you could literally have the same app twice with some copying/renaming of things) I guess you forgot to rename something?

    Thank you. :)

    Since it is based on the official UI app it seems to "get confused" if the official app is active. I had a similar issue with RustysUsefulEngineThermals which is likely similary based.
    1. Selecting my or the official UI app locks out the other option
    2. Selecting the official and my app after another results in one app overwriting the others behavior:

      Official app --> My App = my app displays all values of the official app. (you have to increase the size of it to see)
      My app --> Official App = the official app only displays the values active in my app. (Basically missing all other values)

    It requires an entire game restart to fix (selected app displaying what it should), reloading the map doesnt work.
