Beta Animated Engine and Wheel UI - (AEWUI v1.5) 1.5

Animated Engine and Wheel UI​

A compact dashboard app that shows what's going on under the hood, in the battery and at each wheel. Every icon is animated from live data. It works with any vehicle and only reads data, so nothing about the car is changed.



Engine
Torque, power, clutch temperature, fuel flow, boost, turbo temperature, gear, weight, oil, engine and coolant temperature, radiator fan, fuel economy and tank level.
On supercharged cars the turbo box shows blower rpm instead.



Electric vehicles
Detected automatically. Shows motor rpm, battery power, regen, motor load, kWh/100 km, battery level, estimated range, state of charge and motor efficiency.



Wheels
Every wheel grouped by axle, including dual wheels and multi-axle trucks. Shows tyre pressure, slip, wheel speed, and brake temperature and grip. The rim size is shown in the header.



Alerts
Boxes glow green in the optimal range, yellow near a limit and red past it. Each colour can be turned on or off per box or for all boxes at once.



Settings

• Units: follows the game's settings, or set metric, imperial or custom per quantity
• Colour presets plus per-box icon, text, alert and glow colours
• Icon and text size, per box or globally
• Background opacity
• Show or hide any box

The testing, design by uraniumcoree and coding was done by Claude AI. So, before you download, I would like you to know that I am not a modder. If that bothers you, you can feel free to look for alternatives that are created by real modders.


Animated Engine and Wheel UI – v1.5 CHANGELOG

NEW FEATURES

• Damage Monitor: Engine and body damage are now displayed as percentage bars. Bars change colour as damage increases and flash red above 80% (follows the selected Alert Style).
• Mini Mode: A new minimize button cycles the app between Full, Mini and Hidden states. Mini Mode shows a compact, text-only summary.
• Mini Mode settings: A dedicated Mini Mode tab lets you choose exactly which engine and wheel values are shown, and how the minimize button behaves (Full › Mini › Hidden, Full › Mini, or Full › Hidden).
• Wheels in Mini Mode: Per-wheel tyre pressure, slip, wheel speed, brake temperature and brake grip, for any number of wheels.
• Layout options: Choose between Switch (Engine / Wheels / Damage tabs on the top edge) and Extendable (Damage and Wheels panels open below the main panel, so everything can be viewed at once).
• Anchor setting: The app can anchor to the top or bottom of its window. Auto mode detects the app's screen position and collapses in the correct direction.
• Headlight Glow: When the vehicle's headlights are switched on, the entire interface switches to an illuminated, dashboard-style glow. Can be disabled under Visuals.
• Automatic box hiding: Boxes for components the vehicle does not have (turbocharger, clutch, oil temperature, etc.) are now hidden automatically instead of showing N/A. Remaining boxes reflow to fill the space.
• New fonts: Rajdhani, Exo 2, Saira, Chakra Petch, Oxanium, Titillium Web, Orbitron, Barlow, Righteous and Damion.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Settings window expanded with new Mini Mode and Windows tabs.
• Restore Defaults moved to the General tab.
• Damage page header now displays the vehicle name.
• Improved engine name detection for vehicles with complex part structures.
• Panel now resizes to its content, the unused part of the app window stays transparent.
• Smooth transition animations added to all new panels and states.

REMOVED

• Impact font. Users who had it selected will automatically switch to Google Sans.

BUG FIXES

• Fixed boxes not being re-checked after spawning a different vehicle in place of the current one.
• Fixed side tabs being clipped at the edges of the app window.
• Fixed excessive scaling when multiple panels are open.
• Fixed the app failing to load on some setups.

NOTES

• Settings from previous versions are kept after updating.
• When using the Extendable layout, increase the app window height in UI Edit Mode for the best result.
• All bundled fonts are licensed under the SIL Open Font License.
