<h1>Pitting and using the dashboard</h1>
<p>
In version 2.2.0 when you stop in your pit box you do not longer are asked about fuel and repair amount,
instead you have to set it through the new dashboard before pitting. Just as in real life.
Press the key <b>6</b> to cycle through the dashboards positions: bottom, up and none.
</p>
<p>
In the "Controls Configuration" four controls can be set to use the dashboard:
"Next dash item" and "Previous dash item" to cycle through various options,
and "Increase dash items" and "Decrease dash items" to change the selected value.
</p>
<p>
Usually first an item with a red number is present. The red number means changing this item has an immediate effect.
Such items are: front-rear brake repartition (a. k. a. brake balance), front and rear anti-roll bars and differential settings in very advanced cars.
The actual list depends on your chosen car. You can use these to tune the balance of the car while driving.
</p>

<p>
By pressing the "Next dash item" control a few times you arrive to "Fuel", the first item where requests can be made for your next pit stop.
In these items the yellow number shows your request, it will be the amount of fuel after your stop, the cyan value shows your actual amount of fuel.
</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>
The next item is "Repair", here the yellow number shows the amount of repair you wants, the cyan number shows your actual damage value.
If you have non-zero damage and set your repair amount equal with it, it will automatically follow your amount of damage if it is increasing.
Note: when damage reaches 10000, it means your car is too wrecked to continue racing, you are out of race.

If you have enabled the experimental tire degradation, you have an item to select whether to change tires during the next pit stop or not.
If your car has wing(s), you have items to request new wing angles set during your stop.
In every case there is the "Next pit type" option.
You need to set this to "PENALTY" to serve your Stop and go or Drive through penalty, otherwise you need to set it to "REPAIR" (in this case your car is repaired and fuelled, if needed wing angles and tires are changed, too).
Do not forget to check and set it every time you pit!
