[Feature request] Corner numbers on track map overlay

It'd be great to have corner numbers displayed on track map overlays in simhub, similar to RaceLab's . Thank!

hi ! Currently the track map is prerendered as a bitmap to save some CPU and work in a homogeneous manner on both web and desktop, to get that working it would require to get it totally rewrote to make it totally dynamic.

It's not impossible, but I fear it won't happen at short term ;)

Thanks for the answer. I wonder if the best approach would be to add an optional extra layer with only numbers. You wouldn't have to modify the existing track bitmaps and just composite the 2 layers (if numbers are ON) when rendering the track map overlay. It still means all the turn number layers have to be authored for it to work.

I think it's not worth at short term making it evolve in more complex monster based on a bitmap while having many dynamic things above. This request is about numbers which like you pointed is still quite simple, but when the door will be opened, it could lead to other requests like dynamic sectors colors based on performance etc ...
