DOCUMENTATION

PL PITBOARD

The full manual, as it ships inside the app.

WHAT IT IS

The pit wall. It started life as the fuel calculator and today it is the command post for whoever watches the race from outside: the one on the wall, the one broadcasting, or the team-mate following the driver.

Two things in one:

  THE SMALL OVERLAY   the fuel calculator and the pit board, on top of
                      the sim, for the driver.
  THE COMMAND PANEL   a big separate window, for a large screen or a
                      second monitor, with the whole race on it.

THE OVERLAY MODES

ENGINEER (the classic one)

  The exact litres to put in. It works from your clean laps and throws
  out the dirty ones (the lap where you went off doesn't count towards
  your consumption).

  THE VERDICT, AT A GLANCE
  This is what you actually look at. Four states, each with its colour:

    BLUE   · MEASURING FUEL USE   it is still learning your consumption.
             Underneath it says "give it 1-2 clean laps" and how many
             "laps measured" it has. Until it leaves this state, don't
             trust the number.
    GREEN  · YOU MAKE IT          you'll reach the end. Underneath,
             "X L spare" — the cushion you have left.
    AMBER  · VERY TIGHT           you'll make it, but barely: "only
             +X L margin — watch it". Lift a little or get ready.
    RED    · REFUEL               you won't make it. The number is the
             litres to put in.

  And around it: "tank for X laps", "X L left" and your real consumption
  in L/lap.

SPOTTER

  Follows a team-mate: where they are, gaps and their pit stops.

PITBOARD

  The classic board, giant lines, free message (BOX BOX, PUSH, P3…).
  Readable at a glance from the car.

You can follow any car in the team by number or by camera.

THE COMMAND PANEL

Open it with the "Open command panel" button in the settings panel (right-click on the overlay).

It is an independent window: not tied to the size of the small overlay, freely resizable from the corner, and pinnable in VR like the rest of the house. Three blocks:

1 · CAR CARD

    Everything about ONE car, the one you choose:
      driver · team · car · iRating · Safety Rating
      overall position and class position
      gap to you, and whether it is closing in, pulling away or steady
      last lap · best lap · clean average pace
      stops made · total pit time · current stint · tyre compound
    Move between cars with ◄ ►, or tick "follow camera" and the card
    changes with whatever you are watching.

2 · LIVE STANDINGS

    The full table: Pos · # · Driver · iR · Gap · Last · Best · Pace ·
    Stops.
    Filters: WHOLE race · MY CLASS · MY TEAM.
    Click any row and it becomes the card above.

3 · LIVE PIT STOPS

    IN THE PITS NOW: who is in the pits right now, with the clock running.
    Below, those who have already stopped, sorted by number of stops and
    by time. This is the information an undercut is decided on.

WHAT REALLY MATTERS

· The pace shown is the MEDIAN of clean laps, not the average. One lap

  in traffic or a spin doesn't pollute a rival's pace.

· The history covers ALL cars, not just yours. That's why it can tell

  you how many stops anyone has made and how long they were stationary,
  even if you weren't watching them.

· Data refreshes twice a second, not every frame: the panel doesn't

  steal performance from whoever is driving.

SETTINGS

Right-click on the overlay opens the settings panel.

WHAT MURO DOESN'T DO YET

So you don't go looking for it:

  · The pit board does NOT reach the driver's screen over the internet
    yet. It is designed but deliberately not built.
  · It doesn't estimate RIVALS' fuel, only yours.
  · There is no COACH mode inside MURO.

IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

The command panel is empty → you need to be in a session with cars in

   it. Outside a session there are no standings to show.

I can't see my team-mates → team data is requested when the command

   panel opens. If you came in through the small overlay in fuel mode,
   open the panel and look again.

The litres don't add up → the calculation needs clean laps. At the

   start of a session, with one or two laps and a dirty one, it is still
   learning your consumption. Give it a few laps.

The big window doesn't fit / looks huge → it is meant for a large

   screen or a second monitor. Resize it freely by dragging the corner.

I can't find the panel button → it is in the settings panel, which

   opens with a RIGHT-CLICK on the small overlay.

WHAT IT COSTS

MURO comes inside the suite. Everything is read from the simulator on your own PC: nothing is sent to the internet and no account is needed.
