Setup Fuel

Adjust in-car fuel settings from the cockpit: fuel mixture, fuel cut position, disable fuel cut, low fuel accept, and full-course yellow mode. These are live car adjustments, not pit service fuel requests.

The View … entries turn the key into a continuously updating display of the current value in the car. With dual-press enabled (default) the same key also adjusts the value: a short press fires one direction and a long press fires the opposite — so one key replaces the separate Increase / Decrease keys you’d otherwise need.

Each View sub-mode exposes a single extra setting in the Property Inspector:

  • Enable dual-press (default on) — when off, the key stays a pure read-only display and presses do nothing. When on, presses dispatch to the matching adjustment binding (e.g. View Fuel Mixture dispatches to Fuel Mixture + / Fuel Mixture −), so configure those bindings in the Global Settings → Setup Fuel section.

The tap direction is a single plugin-wide setting under Global Common Settings → Dual-Press → Directions (default Tap increases, long-press decreases; the long-press always fires the opposite of the tap). The threshold separating “short” from “long” is a sibling setting Long-press threshold (ms) (200–2000 ms, default 500 ms). Both take effect on the next press without needing a restart.

Select the mode from the Setting dropdown in the Property Inspector. Directional modes (Fuel Mixture, Fuel Cut Position) also expose a Direction setting for Increase / Decrease.

Adjust the fuel / air mixture setting.

  • Dial: Rotation adjusts fuel mixture (clockwise = increase, counter-clockwise = decrease), regardless of the Direction setting
  • Default binding: No default key binding — both Fuel Mixture + and Fuel Mixture - must be configured in iRacing and in the Property Inspector
  • Telemetry-aware icon: No
  • Increase (default) — Pressing the button raises the mixture
  • Decrease — Pressing the button lowers the mixture

Adjust the fuel cut position setting.

  • Dial: Rotation adjusts fuel cut position (clockwise = increase, counter-clockwise = decrease), regardless of the Direction setting
  • Default binding: No default key binding — both Fuel Cut Position + and Fuel Cut Position - must be configured in iRacing and in the Property Inspector
  • Telemetry-aware icon: No
  • Increase (default) — Pressing the button raises the value
  • Decrease — Pressing the button lowers the value
