    I just realized that the tachometer on the SBR4 is difficult to read when it's not directly illuminated by the sun in game, making it nearly impossible to determine where the redline begins. A simple color alteration to the rest of the cluster, or adding an actual redline would make it much easier to see.

    How the gauge currently looks in the shadows:

    And my quick fix:

    Edit: I've gone ahead and made the changes myself. It's not dev quality, but I'm happy with it. I'll add the files in case anyone else wants to use this change. Just remove the 1 from the file name and replace the original files.

    It's a pretty minimal change in my opinion, not likely that the devs will change it. But the dash texture is in the car's folder, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to just edit it for yourself.

    Yeah, I'll probably do it sometime this weekend. I did something similar on the ETK 800 series before, when I didn't like how the center screen looked. It's just mildly annoying when every update breaks the change I've made.

    Edit: I've done it now, and I'm quite pleased.

    @B25Mitch Do you think adding in a Red zone onto the Tachometer on the SBR4 is worth the additional effort?
