To remove the iRacing watermark on replays, follow these simple steps:
Table of Contents
Step 1: Open File Explorer
Begin by navigating to File Explorer on your computer. You can usually access File Explorer by clicking on the folder icon in your taskbar or by searching for “File Explorer” in the Windows search bar.
Step 2: Locate Documents Folder
In File Explorer, find and open the “Documents” folder. This folder contains various files and settings related to your applications and documents on your computer.
Step 3: Navigate to iRacing Folder
Within the “Documents” folder, locate and open the “iRacing” folder. This folder stores configuration files and data specific to the iRacing simulator.
Step 4: Open App.ini File
Inside the iRacing folder, look for a file named “App.ini” and open it using a text editor of your choice. You can right-click on the file and choose “Open with” to select a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++.
Step 5: Find [Graphics] Section
Within the “App.ini” file, scroll down until you reach the section labeled “[Graphics].” This section contains various graphics settings that can be customized to enhance your iRacing experience.
Step 6: Locate ‘SessionUITransparency’ Setting
In the [Graphics] section, look for a setting called ‘SessionUITransparency.’ This setting determines the transparency level of the user interface (UI) elements displayed during replays and sessions in iRacing.
Step 7: Adjust Transparency Value
The default value for ‘SessionUITransparency’ is typically set to 1.000000, representing full opacity. To remove the iRacing watermark and other on-screen furniture during replays, you’ll want to lower this value.
- Option 1: Set the ‘SessionUITransparency’ value to 0.350000 (or 35 percent) for a partially transparent UI. This setting retains some UI elements while reducing opacity.
- Option 2: Alternatively, you can set the value to 0.00000 for complete transparency. This option will remove all on-screen furniture, including the iRacing logo, during replays.
Step 8: Save Changes
After adjusting the ‘SessionUITransparency’ value to your preferred setting, save the changes to the “App.ini” file. Make sure to save the file before closing the text editor.
Step 9: Test in iRacing
Launch iRacing and enter a replay to see the changes in action. During the replay, observe whether the iRacing watermark and other UI elements have been successfully removed based on your transparency settings.
Additional Tips:
Backup Files: Before making changes to configuration files like “App.ini,” consider creating a backup copy of the file.
Experimentation: Feel free to experiment with different transparency values to find the optimal setting that suits your preferences for replays in iRacing.
By following these steps and adjusting the ‘SessionUITransparency’ setting in the “App.ini” file, you can easily remove the iRacing watermark and customize the appearance of UI elements during replays. Enjoy a cleaner and more immersive replay experience in iRacing!
