Description

I created a new overlay for the hybrid system energy state. Currently its only working for the iRacing GTP class cars, but its should be possible to convert it also to other sims

Additional Notes

In testing

[RiddleTime]

Added a couple of remarks.

Additionally, can this HUD Scale?

Test it out by adding a constructor to the HybridInfoConfiguration, it will reveal a new hud option that allows you to Scale a HUD.

 public HybridInfoConfiguration() => GenericConfiguration.AllowRescale = true;

[RiddleTime]

Feel free to ask for a second review

[ConnorMolz]

So I updated the code so far

The constructor is now only including the _font because its readonly and need to be there.

I add the comment of the GetEnergyLevel() suggestion (#284 (comment))

I try to test it today. If not today then on Thursday.

[ConnorMolz]

I tested everything and it worked properly.

Also implemented you suggestion with GetEnergyLevel()

Pull request overview

This pull request adds a new Hybrid Info overlay feature specifically designed for iRacing GTP class cars to display the current hybrid energy status. The implementation provides a customizable visual bar with color-coded energy level thresholds and text display.

Key Changes

• New HUD overlay system for displaying hybrid/electric energy state in real-time
• Configurable color thresholds for high/medium/low energy levels
• Visual bar indicator with rounded corners and customizable dimensions

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 4 out of 4 changed files in this pull request and generated no comments.

File	Description
Race Element.HUD.Common/Overlays/Driving/HybridInfo/HybridInfoOverlay.cs	Main overlay implementation with rendering logic for energy bar and text display
Race Element.HUD.Common/Overlays/Driving/HybridInfo/HybridInfoConfiguration.cs	Configuration class defining customizable parameters for bar appearance and color thresholds
Race_Element/Controls/Info/ReleaseNotes.cs	Updated release notes mentioning hybrid car data connector support

Note: I was unable to create specific inline code comments as the actual PR diff was not accessible in the review context. However, based on examining the repository files, I identified several areas that would benefit from attention:

1. Grammar: The overlay description contains "A overlay" which should be "An overlay"
2. Code Duplication: Lines 154-155 in HybridInfoOverlay.cs contain duplicate _energyStringWidth calculation
3. Architectural Concern: The BeforeStop method sets Width/Height/RefreshRateHz properties, which conventionally belong in the constructor or BeforeStart method based on similar overlays in the codebase
4. Maintainability: HybridInfoConfiguration.cs imports RaceElement.HUD.Common.Overlays.Driving.LapDeltaBar but doesn't use it, and contains tooltips that mention "Delta Bar" (likely copy-pasted from LapDeltaBar)
5. Unused Code: The Generic property in HybridInfoConfiguration appears to be unused

The implementation otherwise follows established patterns from similar overlays like LapDeltaBar and should function correctly for its intended purpose.

I tested everything and it worked properly.

Also implemented you suggestion with GetEnergyLevel()

I don't have got an activate iRacing subscription, would you have got an example(picture or video) that I can use to post on social media and in the app's discord?

[ConnorMolz]

Fix the mistake where I put the constructor content in the wrong method

I can send you a Screenshot on Thursday.

Also can you remove my old Discord Account from the Discord Server?
I lost access mid year, I had a new one I named it the same on the Server.

No rush, think I've added you now on discord.

Yeah, thank you :)

• Please have a look at your code and look for unused variables or class properties, (see the Configuration class for an example)
• Test the HUD so it can Scale, users will complaign if it can't, in an earlier review I've left a tip on how to enable the scaling option
