Is there a use-case for Dash Page 2?

I have Cockpit Misc > Dash Page 1 Prev/Next and Dash Page 2 Prev/Next both mapped out to 4 buttons in total but as of today have yet to find any use for Dash Page 2 - is there a car that uses this?

I just use Dash Page 1 to cycle between Race1 Race2 Qualy pages on e.g. GT cars.

iRaceDeck v1.18.0 — Race Engineer session briefings, best-lap callouts, setup live-value displays, and dual-press controls 🏁

Race Engineer:

  • Session-start callout — your engineer greets you the first time you go on track each session with a briefing: your name, session type, pit speed limit, track + air temperature, and track wetness. Fires once per session, ~3 s after going on track. Toggleable, default on.
  • Best-lap time callout — announces your lap time when you set a new personal best or complete your first valid lap. "That was your best lap yet. One minute, twenty three point four seconds." Sub-1-minute laps skip the minute clip. Laps ≥ 11 minutes stay silent (no clip coverage). Toggleable, default on.
  • Toggle acknowledgement — pressing the Race Engineer Toggle button now confirms the new state out loud: "Okay, going silent." on disable, "Roger that. Resuming communication." on enable.
  • Telemetry-connect radio check — on a real SDK connection, the engineer plays a "radio check, standing by" line. Reconnects (iRacing close + relaunch) re-fire.
  • Three new driver names — Dominic, Miguel, and Jasper join the driver-name dropdown.

Features:

  • Setup actions — Live-value View sub-modes — every setup action now exposes read-only View entries that render the live telemetry value on the key. 28 new View entries across Aero (2), Brakes (6), Chassis (9), Engine (3), Fuel (2), Hybrid (3), and Traction (4). The View icon inherits the action's category color scheme. PI dropdowns reorganized into Adjust and Display value groups.
  • Setup actions — Dual-press control — every View sub-mode is also a one-key dual-press control: short press fires one direction, long press fires the opposite — replacing two physical keys with one that also displays the value. Configurable threshold (200–2000 ms, default 500 ms) and direction (tap-increases or tap-decreases) in Global Settings. Per-action opt-out available.
  • Toggle Driving Line — tenth mode on Toggle UI Elements. Show/hide iRacing's driving-line overlay from the Stream Deck. Default keybind Ctrl+Alt+L.

Performance:

  • Voice clips re-encoded — radio filter band-limits clips to 250–3500 Hz, so encoding was changed from 44.1 kHz VBR to 16 kHz / mono / 32 kbps. ~64 % smaller file sizes with no audible difference through the radio filter.

Refactoring:

  • Per-voice generator configs — monolithic audio config split into per-voice files, each fully self-contained with its own model, settings, and clips. New parity test ensures every voice covers the same set of callouts.
  • Voice renamed luca → default — transparent to users; existing settings auto-resolve.

Upgrade notes:

  • No manual migration needed. All new callouts default to on.
  • Setup action layouts are backward-compatible — existing Increase/Decrease keys keep working; View entries are additive.
  • TC Slot 1–4 renamed to TC1–TC4 in the Setup Traction dropdown (cosmetic only).
