Registering for Race sessions will place you into an Open Practice while waiting

- For many series, if you register for a Race session more than a couple minutes prior to the session's scheduled start time, you will be automatically placed into an Open Practice session. This way you can get onto track, instead of waiting for the Race session to launch. Note that the splits for your Race session will not yet have been formed. So there's no guarantee that the other drivers you see in your Open Practice will be in your split. In fact, some of the drivers in the Open Practice might have registered for it directly, and won't be transferring to your Race session at all.

The simulation will notify you when your Race session is ready, and present a green [Race!] button on the Session screen. Clicking on this button will disconnect you from the Open Practice session, and connect you to your Race session. Only then can you tell with whom you have been grouped. If you do not click on the [Race!] button, the simulation will automatically switch you over to your Race session shortly prior to when you must grid your car for the race, or sooner if the Race session also has an embedded Qualify session.

Simulation:

Updater

- When you run the iRacingUpdater it will ask you to install the Microsoft Visual C redistributions for x86 and x64, if you don't already have them installed on your computer.

Auto-Config

- Added a drop-down to the auto-config dialog to choose which display adapter to use. It attempts to recommend NVidia/AMD cards over Intel to help with laptops.

Networking

- Change how the simulation configures its network connection to the race server. This might reduce the possibility of "error occurred on network device" messages, and disconnections from the race server.

Race Points Given Field Size

- We improved the calculation of race points awarded so small field sizes don't hand out too many championship points. This also reduces the advantage of high iRating fields in awarding championship points.

Logitech ARX

- We now support Logitech's ARX interface. ARX is a simple communication layer provided by Logitech that allows communication between an application on the PC and your Android or iOS based device. It basically allows us to act as a web server sending pages to your phone, along with a simple bidirectional communication channel so we can push live data to the phone and receive inputs back. For further information and details on how to use or create something for ARX, please go to this forum thread: http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3316230.page

Graphics

- Improved frame rates with a more dynamic adjustment of detail levels when many cars are on screen.
- We are beginning to convert some of our cars and tracks to using physically based rendering (PBR) shaders to give more accurate looking cars and tracks. In this release the new Five - Flags Speedway track uses these new shaders, as do the new Aston Martin DBR9 GT1, and the updated Chevrolet Corvette C6.R GT1 and updated Legends Ford '34 Coupe.

Race Control

- Show the driver the amount of time they still have to yield in order to clear their "gained time by shortcutting, slow-down" furled black flag.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes incident report messages would incorrectly say there is a limit of 17 incidents.
- During qualifying at medium, long and superspeedway ovals, doing a burnout no longer gives an advantage.

Split Times

- Add in an option to load split time files from other drivers and cars for you to compare yourself against.
- The ghost car now lights up the brake lights.

UI

- Added the C (CPU) meter to the L/Q/S/P group on the Session screen. The CPU meter is only displayed if you have manually enabled it in the "XXX Dev Use Only" section of app.ini.

Triple Screen

- Fixed a bug where headlights could draw with strange artifacting problems when the field of view is greater than 170 degrees.
- Fixed a bug that broke mouse driving when using triple screens.

Telemetry

- New live telemetry outputs CarsPosition, CarsClassPosition, PlayerCarPosition, PlayerCarClassPosition, CarIdxPosition, CarIdxClassPosition, CarIdxTime, LapLastNLapSeq, LapLastNLapTime, LapBestNLapLap, LapBestNLapTime, DCLapStatus, DCDriversSoFar.

Sharing Setups

- When you share a setup from the Garage, all different types of car that should be able to load your setup can now actually see and load your setup (for instance, the two V8 Supercars, or the NASCARs).

New Tire Model

- Dave has a new model of the tire carcass that does a much more accurate computation of the tire's stiffnesses. Amongst other things tires now respond much more correctly to tire pressure changes. This is what is called a "Version 6" tire. Most of our road course cars have been updated with this.

Chassis Torsion

- We can now model the fact that a car's chassis can twist due to forces and torques acting on the car. But only a few of our cars have been updated with this so far.

Weather

- Reduced wild wind direction swings.

Das Handling wg. "Chassis Torsion" soll sich nicht stark ändern und ich glaube auch nicht, dass dadurch ein Vor- oder Nachteil entsteht. So wie ich es verstehe geht es wohl um die virtuelle Verwindungssteifigkeit des jeweiligen Fahrzeugs.

Nun, bei RaceRoom habe ich mehr Probleme mit der Useability als mit iRacing

Ausserdem wird meist innerhalb einer Woche noch ein Update nachgereicht, was ggf. entweder nur Bugfixes für das Build beinhaltet und/oder ggf. noch weitere Fahrzeuge mitNTMv6 und Chassis Torsion erweitert wird.

Lassen wir uns überraschen!

Da ich letzte Saison den FGT gefahren bin, kann ich bestätigen, dass das NTMv6 definitiv eine klare Verbesserung darstellt. Auch der FGT fährt sich besser und spüre die Front mehr beim Einlenken. Wird schwierig sich diese Saison auf zwei Fahrzeuge zu konzentrieren. Werde wohl wieder die Blancpain Sprint und ggf. die GT1 Challenge. Schaumen wir mal......

Bin gestern das erste Blancpain Sprint Rennen auf Zandvoort gefahren. Obwohl ich diese Strecke nun überhaupt nicht mag, muss ich ehrlich sagen, dass mich das "attached Qualifying" echt erstaunt. Fast alle Leute, auch ich, haben qualifiziert. Ich bin von P4 gestartet und auf P5 gelandet. Bin also 8 Runden gefahren und habe einen sog. Untercut gemacht, schnell vollgetankt ohne Reifenwechsel. War dann kurzweilig auf P 17 und schwappte dann auf P5 zum Ende hin. Habe 66 iRating dazu gewonnen. Vor allem haben sich die Top Jungs da vorne auch "zivilisiert" verhalten. Und zu meinem Erstauen gewann sogar einer von drei Ford Fahrern das Rennen. Das will schon was heissen.

Ihr BMWler und Ron Dennisse und RuFssss. Passt mal auf da draussen

Wenn die Zeiten mit dem Baseset sind, geht´s auf jeden Fall noch weiter nach unten mit den Zeiten. Der Ford liebt vor allem die schnellen Kurven. Ich persönlich nutze keine Traction Control. Alles was irgendwie mit kleinen Helferleins zu tun hat, macht das Auto immer ein wenig langsamer. Nur auf ABS lasse ich mich noch nicht ein es auszuschalten.

Aber wieso denn Spa Michöööh? Ich habe Bratwurst im Kopf als letztes 12h Stream Event
