[Piolo]

be da quello che si vede nella videorecensione, (che si vede sottolineo) fa davvero schifo, nonostante i voti che poi gli accollano. inevitabile termine d paragone

Un'altra video review da parte dei ragazzi di SimRacingTonight, con una valutazione finale piuttosto positiva.

Everyone, barring a catastrophy of any sort, the patch should be distributed middle to end of next week. ((Tue/Wed/Thur)).

Items to look for:

- New cockpit updates (shift light, mirror improvements, small optimizations)

- Hopefully better performance of the dedicated.exe's

- Corrections and improvements to Salem (guardrail, dx7 lightpole texture, pace car)

- Correction to spec maps at Pocono, and a few other tweaks

- Replacement Daytona with more accurate physic modelling, track modelling & other changes

- Correction of Chat lobby scroll bar, correction of Server lobby borders and listings, tracks list by name not venue

- Fixed Stack the Field, now works in Warmup correctly

- Corrected "FIXED Setups"

- AIW tweaks and corrections to all tracks, including pace car & AI

- Corrected Controller unmaps, sound volume resets, & mph/kph changes

- Time to race extended to 60 secs now

- Lucky Dog rule now gives the correct driver a lap back

- Admin panel now works in spectator mode (if you leave and come back, scoring will not)

- NetComm = 0 corrected

- Speed Limit at Duqoiun in practice corrected

- Can now select Milwaukee Mile and Duquoin from track listing without crashing

- Car skins #27, #39 & one other corrected

- Rechecked Iowa AIW to ennsure over 30 cars can race

- Added Setup Comparer plugin by Robert Cobb

** If things work out well, very possibly Rockingham could be added inot the patch, but we are early in testing

The Sim Factory LLC, in association with the ARCA RE/MAX Series, Daytona International Speedway and Daytona 500 Experience, have developed the ARCA Driver Development Program. This simulation exhibit will be located inside the Daytona 500 Experience motorsports attraction, which is located just outside Turn 4 at historic Daytona International Speedway.

The exhibit will consist of four racing cockpits with 42 Inch LCD screens, professional simulation controls and will be powered by the newly released ARCA SIM RACING 08 software. Visitors of Daytona 500 Experience will have a chance to taste the excitement of racing at Daytona International Speedway in an ARCA RE/MAX Series racecar. A rather unique part of this exhibit will be the Virtual Spotter

www.ARCASimCentral.com has opened with the support of TSF to give everyone another opportunity to find the information they need for ARCA Sim Racing 08' and a hassle free environment for the discussion of the sim.

Downloads are organized in a simple section to easily see and extract whats needed very efficiently. If your desire is to discuss the sim, fixes, technicals, or other information, you will need to register for these forum areas. Manual validation will be performed, and "real names" are suggested.

A strict and uniform tolerance policy will be enforced by admins on discussions to ensure they adhere to TSF forum rules just as they are here. So if your intent is genuine and you are interested in using the forums for the purpose they were created, then enjoy yourself. Both forums will continue to be supported.

** Activity on the patch update is still ongoing, with Rockingham almost ready for distribution. These other changes will be included to the main patch distributed earlier last month. You will have the option to download a complete new patch to go from DVD to patched state, or another option to go from a patch 1 state to patch 1A (smaller). Not sure if Rockingham will be in the patches or distributed separately, due to some adjustments made in the core build files.

Sim Factory Moving To Auto Update System

We are moving ASR to an AUTO UPDATE system so that you dont actually need to search the internet for links and such. An UPDATE exe will be embedded into your ASR ROOT DIRECTORY and when you run it....it will check your version against what we have and make it very easy to update the sim. No installing anymore...just click UPDATE and it will do just that.

This will allow us to change files in a more streamlined manner. If a bug is found...we can change it and not worry about a full patch. Users will be able to update and grab that file.

I am hoping to move ASR into this as soon as possible as it will make it much easier for all of us to stay up to date.

ARCA AUTO UPDATE SYSTEM with 1128b UPDATE RELEASED

This system has been tested was working fine with the amount of users we tested it with. If you get any connection errors just wait and try it again a few minutes later.

I have not seen any connection errors but as it works through the FTP protocol possible we could overload the server...maybe not.

Otherwise, this should make it easy to stay up to date as well as patch multiple builds of ASR 08. On your first run of the ARCA UPDATE.exe, a read me will be installed as well as the 1128b update which fixes the USA Error.

This software will take you from any build to current and can be used inside other installs to update that install. View ReadMe for more info. There is also a server build for server companies and the read me for that is included in the zip package of the software.

Please visit http://arcasimracing.com/update.html to download and install the AUTO UPLOAD SOFTWARE.
