Setup Hybrid

Control hybrid energy recovery and deployment settings from the cockpit: MGU-K regeneration gain, deploy mode, fixed deploy level, HYS (Hybrid System) boost, HYS regen, and the HYS no-boost toggle. Placed on a Stream Deck+ dial, the same action becomes an MGU-K dial with the live value on the touch strip — see On a dial below.

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 MGU-K Deploy Mode dcMGUKDeployMode integer 0–4
View MGU-K Regen Gain dcMGUKRegenGain integer car-dependent slot
View MGU-K Deploy Fixed dcMGUKDeployFixed integer car-dependent slot

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 MGU-K Regen Gain dispatches to MGU-K Regen Gain + / MGU-K Regen Gain −), so configure those bindings in the Global Settings → Setup Hybrid 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 (MGU-K Re-Gen Gain, MGU-K Deploy Mode, MGU-K Fixed Deploy) also expose a Direction setting for Increase / Decrease. HYS Boost and HYS Regen use a hold pattern — the key is held while the button is pressed and released when you release it.

Adjust the MGU-K regeneration gain.

  • Method: Key binding
  • Dial: No rotation support
  • Default binding: No default key binding — both MGU-K Re-Gen Gain + and MGU-K Re-Gen Gain - must be configured in iRacing and in the Property Inspector
  • Telemetry-aware icon: No
  • Increase (default) — Pressing the button raises the regen gain
  • Decrease — Pressing the button lowers the regen gain

Step through the MGU-K deploy modes.

  • Method: Key binding
  • Dial: No rotation support
  • Default binding: No default key binding — both MGU-K Deploy Mode + and MGU-K Deploy Mode - must be configured in iRacing and in the Property Inspector
  • Telemetry-aware icon: No
  • Increase (default) — Pressing the button advances to the next deploy mode
  • Decrease — Pressing the button goes back to the previous deploy mode

Adjust the fixed MGU-K deployment level.

  • Method: Key binding
  • Dial: No rotation support
  • Default binding: No default key binding — both MGU-K Fixed Deploy + and MGU-K Fixed Deploy - must be configured in iRacing and in the Property Inspector
  • Telemetry-aware icon: No
  • Increase (default) — Pressing the button raises the deploy level
  • Decrease — Pressing the button lowers the deploy level

Hold the HYS boost key for as long as the button is pressed. Release the button to stop boosting.

  • Method: Key binding
  • Dial: No rotation support
  • Default binding: No default key binding
  • Telemetry-aware icon: No
  • No additional settings

Hold the HYS regen key for as long as the button is pressed. Release the button to stop regenerating.

  • Method: Key binding
  • Dial: No rotation support
  • Default binding: No default key binding
  • Telemetry-aware icon: No
  • No additional settings

Toggle the “no boost” mode on or off.

  • Method: Key binding
  • Dial: No rotation support
  • Default binding: No default key binding
  • Telemetry-aware icon: No
  • No additional settings

Placed on a Stream Deck+ dial, Setup Hybrid becomes an MGU-K dial. 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.

  • Method: Key binding — the same Setup Hybrid increase/decrease bindings the keypad modes use. 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).
  • Elgato Stream Deck+ — dial rotation and a touchscreen readout that always shows.

Dials are currently Stream Deck+ only — the action can’t be placed on Mirabox knobs or Ulanzi dials yet (see Dials).

The MGU-K 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 three adjustable MGU-K values are offered — the HYS hold controls have no rotary sense.

Setting Label Telemetry source Shown as
MGU-K Deploy Mode DEPLOY dcMGUKDeployMode integer
MGU-K Regen Gain REGEN dcMGUKRegenGain integer
MGU-K Fixed Deploy FIXED dcMGUKDeployFixed integer

When telemetry isn’t available the box shows ---.

Setup Hybrid has no single on/off toggle, so the dial press and touchscreen taps do nothing — the dial is rotation-only.

Adjustment modes with a live value (on Setup Hybrid: MGU-K Deploy Mode, MGU-K Re-Gen Gain, and MGU-K Fixed Deploy) 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.
