Settings has seven tabs. Venue holds branding, the admin theme, the public hostname, VenueLaps and ROLLER. Rigs & Games holds rig setup, saved sims, games, customer group sessions, motion, public servers and software updates. Driving Modes, Broadcast and Traffic each hold one section, Downloads holds every installer, and System holds the backup. Cards marked Saves instantly save the moment you change them; everything else waits for the save bar described at the end of this chapter. Work through it once when you set up, then come back for a rig name, a new public server or a broadcast PC.
Branding
Venue Name is the name customers see: the admin header and login card, the header of every leaderboard display, email subjects and headers, Discord embeds, and the public league and booking pages. Primary Color is your accent on booking pages, emails, Discord posts, the rig launcher and your screens. The admin panel's own look is set by the Admin theme below. Venue Logo uploads immediately with its own button and accepts PNG, JPG, GIF or WebP up to 5 MB.
How your screens look (theme, colours, columns, sponsors, background, rows per page) is on the Leaderboard page's Screen appearance tab; Open Leaderboard page takes you there. Details are in the Leaderboards chapter.
Admin theme
Seven themes for the admin panel: Pit Wall (carbon black, signal red), Multitap Livery (asphalt, hi-vis yellow, square edges), Night Race (midnight navy, timing amber), Race Day (light surfaces and deep blue, for bright venues and reception desks), High Contrast (bright text, clear outlines and larger labels, for easier reading), Endurance (slate and cool blue) and Clubhouse (warm charcoal and champagne, for premium racing lounges). Click one and it saves instantly for everyone at your venue, on every device, after their next page load. Your public screens, booking pages and emails keep your Primary Color whichever theme you pick.
Sim Rig Setup
The details a new rig needs, each with a copy button: Server Address and Venue ID. Rigs connect on port 443 with SSL on. You type these into the rig setup program, or into the launcher's hidden menu if you ever need to change them by hand. Just above this card, the Rig installer card has Download the rig installer, a setup program that arrives with both already filled in. See Installing on a rig.
The API key is not shown here. It was issued when your venue was created and is stored in a form that can't be read back. Keep the copy you were given; your venue page in your Multitap account can show it again with Show API key. The card also shows how many rigs your plan covers, and warns when every plan slot is saved: a rig that isn't saved can't connect until you forget one under Saved Sims.
Games
On the Rigs & Games tab. Three checkboxes: Assetto Corsa, ACC and iRacing. Ticked games get tabs on the Laps and Cars & Tracks pages and appear in board and Discord options. Multitap records ACC and iRacing laps through the collector on each rig.
ACC Launch Path (on sim PCs) and iRacing Launch Path (on sim PCs) take an exe, a shortcut or a Steam address. With a path set, the game appears in the Launcher page's Game list and the admin panel can start it on a rig, time it, and close it at End Game or when time runs out. Without a path the game is data only: laps are still recorded, but the admin panel can't start it.
Other games
Programs the admin panel can start and time on a rig, such as a flight simulator. No laps or telemetry are collected. Press Add game and fill in a Label, the Launch path (on sim PCs) and the Process names the rig watches, separated by commas. The rig closes those processes at End Game or when time runs out, so the process names are required.
AC Root Path (on sim PCs) is where Assetto Corsa is installed on your rigs, so the launcher knows where to find the game. The rig setup program shows the folder it used when it finishes. The same path on every rig is the simplest setup. After changing it, press Save Settings and then Send to connected rigs.
Customer group sessions
On the Rigs & Games tab. One switch, Customers can start group sessions from their rig, lets logged-in customers host a group session on their rig while friends join from theirs. It is off by default, so nothing changes at your venue until you turn it on. Turning it on shows three boxes, Race, Practice and Traffic, all ticked; untick any mode customers shouldn't host. Save with the save bar.
Rigs need launcher 1.5.0, which they install by themselves at their next start. A rig on an older launcher shows nothing new and works as before. Staff see and can cancel every customer session on the Groups page; see Customer group sessions. Turning the switch off while a session is open closes it, and its rigs show GROUP SESSIONS ARE TURNED OFF. SEE STAFF; races already running carry on.
Motion (D-BOX)
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| D-BOX Helper Path (optional) | For motion rigs. Leave it blank to use D-BOX's default install path for its Assetto Corsa live motion helper; fill it in only if D-BOX is installed somewhere else. It applies to every motion rig. Each rig turns motion on in its launcher's hidden menu, which also shows whether D-BOX is set up on that rig. |
| D-BOX Wait (seconds) | How long a motion rig waits after starting the D-BOX helper before Assetto Corsa starts, from 0 to 60. The default is 10. D-BOX recommends 10 to 20 seconds; raise it if motion does not engage. |
Motion setup on the rig itself is in the rig launcher chapter.
ROLLER Integration
Your ROLLER client ID and secret, and a checkbox to Enable nightly auto-sync of customers into the driver database. A status line shows the last sync. See the Drivers chapter.
Driving Modes
The Driving Modes tab. When a session launches in Standard or Pro mode, or in a Custom mode you define, these are the settings that actually go to the game. Each mode has a tab with three groups.
| Group | Settings |
|---|---|
| Solo sessions | Written to the rig for solo sessions: stability control 0 to 100, ABS and traction control (off, factory or forced on), fuel rate and tyre wear multipliers where 0 means off, and toggles for autoblip, auto brake and tyre blankets. |
| Group sessions | Applied to the private server in group sessions: ABS and TC allowed, stability, auto clutch, forced virtual mirror, tyre blankets, and fuel, tyre wear and damage percentages where 100 is realistic. |
| On-screen aids | The driving aids switched on before every launch: ideal line, virtual mirror, auto shifter and auto clutch. |
Standard ships with every aid on and damage, fuel and wear off. Pro ships with every aid off and everything realistic. Auto clutch ships on in every mode. Tick Enable Custom Mode, give it a name up to twenty characters, and a third tab appears; the name is what staff see in the Sim Mode dropdown.
Rigs use these settings from their next launch once they have them: press Send to connected rigs after saving, or they pick them up when they reconnect. The group server settings are also the starting values for the Race rules of a group race.
Saved Sims
A saved rig keeps its name and its slot when it reconnects. Everything here saves immediately.
Each saved rig has a row with its name, its network address and these fields:
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name | What the Launcher page and booking show. Rename a rig to match the signage on the cabinet. |
| SteamID64 | The Steam account signed in on that rig. The launcher reports it and it fills itself in, so you rarely type it. It locks the rig's seat in group races, league servers and hotlap challenges, so a remote driver can't take it. If you do type one, digits only. |
| Bookable | Offers the rig on the public booking page. |
| type | A tag such as motion for booking filters and surcharges. |
| Trash icon | Forgets a decommissioned rig. Its name, SteamID and booking settings go; lap times already recorded on it stay. |
Below the list, Connected, not saved shows rigs that are online but not saved yet. Until you save one it can come back under a different number after a restart. Type a name and press Save rig.
Public hostname
Public hostname is the address customers use to reach your venue. Emails use it for unsubscribe links, your logo and booking links, and the Leaderboard page's display URLs and the Links page are built from it too. Leave it empty to use your venue's mlttp.com address; Use default puts that back.
Public Servers
Public Assetto Corsa servers your venue races on: a public server you host for remote members, or a partner venue's server for a cross-town race. Enter a Name, the IP / hostname, the UDP/TCP port, the HTTP port and, if the server has one, its Password, and press Add; it saves immediately. Only public internet addresses are allowed. Up to fifty.
Saved servers appear in the Launcher page's Online Server mode and on its Broadcast panel under Send to... › Server presets. As the card says, rigs and broadcast PCs can only join servers on this list. Each row has these controls, and each saves on its own:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Pencil icon | Renames the server. |
| Broadcast when idle | Shows this server on a broadcast PC when no local race is running. |
| Password box and key icon | Saves a new password. An empty box clears it, after a confirm. |
| Trash icon | Deletes the server. To change an address or port, delete it and add it again. |
Broadcast
Watch broadcast settings (4:58)
Broadcast PCs show live races on the venue TV and play the idle video between races. Everything in this section saves immediately. Controlling a broadcast PC during the day happens on the Launcher page's Broadcast panel.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Idle video (MP4, up to 95 MB) | Choose a file and press Upload. Broadcast PCs switch to it shortly. The line below reads Venue video in use with its version, or Using the bundled default video. Revert to default goes back to the video Multitap ships. |
| Logo (PNG, up to 5 MB) | Your logo over the idle video. Upload adds it; Remove logo takes it off. |
| Logo corner | Top left, Top right, Bottom left or Bottom right. |
Below the controls is your broadcast licence, which you can read but not change. It reads Broadcast PCs: 1 included, plus any add-ons, and your extra broadcast PC allowance. Extra broadcast PCs are $22.50 a month each.
Registered broadcast PCs lists every PC that has linked to your venue, with its name, its id, its state (Online, Offline or Over your plan's limit) and its app version. Only as many PCs as your licence covers can connect, counting from the lowest-numbered. Forget removes a PC you no longer use; it is greyed out while that PC is online, so close the app there first. A forgotten PC that connects again registers as a new one. Until a PC has linked, the list reads No broadcast PC has connected yet.
The broadcast installer is on the Downloads tab. Installing the app on the TV PC is covered in the rig launcher chapter.
Traffic
The AI cars that fill your traffic servers, and the defaults a traffic session starts with. Only cars your rigs have are listed.
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Default density | Light, Normal, Busy or Rush Hour. Ships as Normal. |
| Default speed | Cruise (60 km/h), City (80 km/h) or Highway (110 km/h). Ships as City. A map with its own speed set on Cars & Tracks uses that instead. |
| Car list | Tick each model to use. Set buses and trucks to Truck / bus and leave the rest as Car: trucks are kept to about 15% of the road. |
Press Save traffic settings; this section has its own button and does not use Save Settings. If you save with no cars ticked, the panel warns you, and traffic launches are refused until you tick some. Speed and two-way traffic for a single map are set on the Cars & Tracks page; running a session is in Traffic sessions.
VenueLaps
VenueLaps is the public leaderboard shared by Multitap venues. One switch, Publish laps to VenueLaps, saves immediately. While it is on, laps by your registered drivers appear there. Turning it off hides all of your venue's laps on VenueLaps; turning it back on shows them again.
The line under the switch tells you where you stand: Publishing: this venue's laps appear on VenueLaps., a Not publishing line, or Not connected to VenueLaps. If laps were driven while publishing was off, turning it back on asks whether to send them too: Send them, Don't send (publishing turns on for new laps only, and you won't be asked about that period again) or Cancel. More in the VenueLaps chapter.
Downloads
Every Multitap installer is on this tab, so you never have to hunt for one. Rigs & Games and Broadcast each have a line at the top that links here. Exports of your data, like the backup and the CSV exports, stay on their own pages.
| Card | What you get |
|---|---|
| Rig installer | Download the rig installer gets the setup program for a sim PC. The file name carries your server and venue, so keep it as it is; you paste your API key into it once. The same file works on every rig. See the rig launcher chapter. |
| Broadcast installer | Download the broadcast installer gets the setup program for the PC that drives your TV. Each download is linked to your venue and works once, within 24 hours. Download it on that PC, or copy it there, and run it; it fills in the connection details itself. |
| Live leaderboard screen | Download the SD card image gets a ready-made card that turns a Raspberry Pi 4 or newer into a screen for your live leaderboard. Type your Wi-Fi first, or leave it blank for a network cable. Setting up the Pi is in the leaderboards chapter. |
Software updates
Rigs and broadcast PCs update themselves. Each one checks once, about a minute after its app starts. The card shows the version Multitap has published for the Rig launcher and the Broadcast app, for example v1.2.0, or Nothing published yet.
Check for updates now asks every connected rig and broadcast PC to check straight away. The line below reads, for example, Sent to 6 rigs and 1 broadcast PC. Each one installs when it is not in a session or race., or No rigs or broadcast PCs are connected. How a rig decides when to install is in the rig launcher chapter.
On Cloud Lite
A Cloud Lite venue's Settings page has two tabs, Venue and System. It has no rigs, games, driving modes, broadcast PCs, traffic or installers, so those tabs are not there. Venue holds Branding (Venue Name, Primary Color, Venue Logo), Admin theme, Public hostname, VenueLaps, Your VenueLaps listing and ROLLER. System holds Backup and your Account. See Cloud Lite.
Backup
Download Backup gives you a ZIP of your venue: settings, lap databases, drivers, leagues, bookings, email, Discord and traffic data, metadata caches and track maps, uploaded images, and car and track previews. Large venues take a moment to compress. Keep one before any risky change.
Saving
As soon as you change something that doesn't save on its own, on any tab, a bar appears reading You have unsaved changes with Save Settings, which saves every tab at once. Send to connected rigs sends the saved settings to every rig that is online now, so they apply from the next launch. Rigs that are off pick them up when they reconnect.
