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, help when something looks wrong, and your account.

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

UI scale moved to 110%, with the preview and Apply and Restart

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.

HelpQuick fixes and release notes

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.
