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:
