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. Placed on a Stream Deck+ dial, the same action becomes a fuel-setup dial with the live value on the touch strip — see On a dial below.
View sub-modes
Section titled “View sub-modes”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.
| View setting | Telemetry source | Format | Typical range |
|---|---|---|---|
| View Fuel Mixture | dcFuelMixture |
integer | car-dependent slot |
| View Fuel Cut Position | dcFuelCutPosition |
integer | car-dependent slot |
Dual-press control
Section titled “Dual-press control”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.

On a dial
Section titled “On a dial”Placed on a Stream Deck+ dial, Setup Fuel becomes a fuel-setup dial (distinct from the Fuel Service pit-fuel dial — this adjusts the in-car fuel mixture and cut). Pick one value with the dial’s Setting dropdown; turning the dial steps it up or down in the car, and the touch strip shows that value live as a big, color-coded number. It uses the same key bindings as the keypad modes, so no extra configuration is needed if you already use them. The Property Inspector automatically shows the dial settings below (instead of the keypad Setting and Direction) when the instance sits on a dial. See Dials for how the shared dial gestures work.
Details
Section titled “Details”- Method: Key binding — the same Setup Fuel increase/decrease bindings the keypad modes use, plus the FCY Mode Toggle binding for the press gestures. Configure them in the Related Key Bindings section; the Property Inspector shows a status line indicating whether each is set.
- Dial: Rotating adjusts the selected value (clockwise = increase, counter-clockwise = decrease). Both the increase and decrease key bindings must be set.
- Telemetry-aware: Yes — the touch strip shows the live value from telemetry (see the table below).
Controls
Section titled “Controls”- Elgato Stream Deck+ — dial rotation, a press (short or long), and a touchscreen readout that always shows. A touchscreen tap or long tap runs its own configured Tap Display / Long Touch action.
Dials are currently Stream Deck+ only — the action can’t be placed on Mirabox knobs or Ulanzi dials yet (see Dials).
Setting: Setting
Section titled “Setting: Setting”The fuel value the dial controls. Each renders as a color-coded “dash box”: a short label on top and the live value as a large number. Each setting has a built-in accent color, but you can override the border, label, value, and background colors in the Dash Box Appearance section of the dial settings. Only the two adjustable values are offered — the one-shot toggles (Disable Fuel Cut, Low Fuel Accept, FCY Mode Toggle) don’t map to a rotary.
| Setting | Label | Telemetry source | Shown as |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuel Mixture | MIX | dcFuelMixture |
integer |
| Fuel Cut Position | CUT | dcFuelCutPosition |
integer |
When telemetry isn’t available the box shows ---.
Setting: Press Action / Long Press
Section titled “Setting: Press Action / Long Press”What a short or long press of the dial button does, chosen from:
- None (default for both) — does nothing.
- Toggle FCY Mode — taps the Setup Fuel FCY Mode Toggle binding.
A press is classified when you release the dial — a hold past the Long-press threshold fires the Long Press action. Turning the dial while pressed adjusts the value (a “push + turn”) and never fires the press action.
Setting: Tap Display / Long Touch
Section titled “Setting: Tap Display / Long Touch”Optional touch-strip gestures (Stream Deck+ only), each over { Toggle FCY Mode, None }. Both default to None for VR safety.
Key Styles — paired +/− buttons
Section titled “Key Styles — paired +/− buttons”Adjustment modes with a live value (on Setup Fuel: Fuel Mixture and Fuel Cut Position) can render as paired keys: place two keys with opposite directions next to each other (or three, with a View key in the middle) and both show the live value — no separate display key needed. Choose the look under Key Style:
- Legacy (arrows) — the classic static arrow icon (default for existing keys).
- Split — label on top, live value in the middle, a big +/− below (default for newly placed keys).
- Edge chevrons, Joined pill — alternative value-showing pair looks.
- Big +/−, Big chevrons, Pill end — no-value styles for the outer keys of a 3-key group; the View key in the middle shows the value (set its Display Style to Pill middle to span the pill across all three keys).
Values are shown without units for maximum size. Edge chevrons, Joined pill, Pill end, and Big chevrons take a Position in Pair setting (Auto follows the direction: increase right, decrease left; pick Top/Bottom for vertical stacks). Holding a paired key repeats the adjustment until released. Colors follow the normal color overrides (the +/− accent is the Graphic 1 slot); pill styles disable the normal border — the pill itself is the frame.
