DigiFlag manual
Up to four LED panels like the real ones: flags, gear with RPM lights, cars alongside and more. A PRO plan overlay of Raptor Racing Overlay.
Each panel is a 16 x 16 grid of LEDs. You choose what it shows.
In Automatic it shows the gear and covers it with whatever matters most at that moment.
It only reads iRacing: it never changes anything on your car.

- 3The gear: blinks red from the shift point.
- 4Cars alongside: you in gray, the others in red.

The gear
- The RPM line fills from left to right: green, yellow and red.
- The number is white and blinks red from the shift point, with every car.
- At the top it blinks twice as fast and the line turns blue.
- N in green, R in amber.
- It uses your car's shift lights in iRacing. If it has none, the redline.
- In Automatic, «RPM lights on the gear» picks the gear with the line or the number alone. It comes on.
When it shows
- By default, only while driving on track.
- In WHERE IT SHOWS you can add the garage and replays.
- With nothing to show, the panel keeps its LEDs off, or hides if you pick «Only when it shows something» (below).
- Off track (Ctrl+S or move mode), each panel shows a sample of its function, so you can place it.
- Also on your phone (all panels) and in OBS with Streaming (DigiFlag 1).
Hide it until it has something
In each panel's tab, WHEN IT APPEARS. Also on right-click, When it shows.
- Always
- Default. Always visible.
- Only when it shows something
- Hides while it has nothing to say.
With Only when it shows something, it shows up:
- Flags: with a flag out.
- Cars alongside: with a car next to you.
- Pit limiter: in the pits.
- Start lights: at the start.
- Engine warnings: with a warning.
- Fuel: with less than 2 laps.
- Automatic: only with a warning. It hides when it would go back to the gear.
- Gear, Class position, Delta and Lap number: while there is data.
It shows up at once and hides after 2 seconds. In move mode it is always visible.
Controls and settings
- On the overlay: with «Allow moving the overlay» you drag it. In move mode (Ctrl+M from the menu) each panel moves on its own and grows or shrinks by pulling a corner.
- Right click on a panel (changes only that panel): What it shows, When it shows (Always or Only when it shows something), RPM lights on the gear, Overlay size (Bigger, Smaller, or 60, 80, 100, 130 and 160%), Housing opacity (opens two sliders: housing from 0 to 100% and LEDs from 20 to 100%), Add a DigiFlag, Remove this DigiFlag, Also show it in the garage, Also show it in replays, Allow moving the overlay and Close the DigiFlag.
- In the Raptor Racing Overlay menu, GENERAL tab: HOW MANY DIGIFLAGS (1 to 4), Allow moving the overlay by dragging it, AUTOMATIC (the order above), WHERE IT SHOWS (Garage and Replays) and SEE IT ON YOUR PHONE.
- DIGIFLAG 1 to 4 tabs, one per panel: WHAT IT SHOWS, RPM lights on the gear, WHEN IT APPEARS, SIZE (60 to 160%), BACKGROUND OPACITY (the housing) and DATA OPACITY (the lit LEDs). A panel that is not on can be left ready.
Tips
- To start, one in Automatic is enough.
- If your wheel already shows the gear, use Flags or Cars alongside.
- Put it near where you look: you read it out of the corner of your eye.
- If the housing covers the track, lower BACKGROUND OPACITY: the LEDs stay the same.
