+To start the iRacing-TV overlay, launch it by clicking on its icon. When do you do, the Unity splash screen will display for a few seconds. After the splash screen goes away, the overlay window should become a transparent blue grid with an "iRacing-TV Controller is not running." message in the middle.
 Because the overlay window is a special transparent window with no border or window controls on it, there is not a typical ''X'' button to close it. When you want to close the overlay window, you can do this one of two ways:

-At the top right of this application window, there are two lights shown. The first light indicates the connection with iRacing. It will be red if iRacing is not running, and green if it is.

-In order to get the best experience from this application, it is recommended to run the iRacing-TV controller any time you participate in a live race in iRacing. The reason for this, is so that it can automatically record the live race session flags for you. These session flags are **not** saved in iRacing's replay file. If you do not run the controller during these live races, we will not be able to get back some important race state information, such as caution flags, during the playback of the replay file. It is ok to minimize the iRacing-TV controller window to get it out of the way during live races.
