Official patch 1128c here

*** Replies to this thread ONLY for support please *** Mirrors will be setup in a short while as well.

-------------------------------------------------

ARCA Sim Racing 08 Patch Update 1128C Instructions:

With patch 1128C we are implementing a slightly different patching structure. The new structure was designed to eliminate the issues seen in previous patches. The most significant change is the introduction of a new Auto Updater Client.

Once you are patched to 1128C you will not have to mess with any of this again. However in order to update to 1128C please read the following directions carefully:

Step 1:

Download the new Auto Updater client and extract both the ARCA_Updater.exe and ARCA_Updater.dat files to the ARCA Remax folder where your game is installed to.

You may delete the old updater files.

Telling the difference between the old and new files:

Old Auto Updater:

Name: ARCA UPDATE.exe and ARCA UPDATE.dat

EXE Icon: Globe Icon

New Updater:

Name: ARCA Updater.exe and ARCA Updater.dat

EXE Icon: Sim Factory Icon (Same Icon as ARCA.exe)

***NOTE*** If you were one of the people who got the updater to work already before this announcement, even if it looks like you have the new updater files, you need to remove them they will not work.

Step 2:

Run the new updater client. Client will download 1128C and patch your game.

A direct link to the patch should be available shorty after the patch is made public for anyone that cannot use the Auto Updater client for whatever reason.

This patch will update the following versions of ASR08 to 1128C:

1.0 (Fresh DVD Install)

1128

1128 -With Manual Daytona AIW Fix

1128a

1128a -With Manual Daytona AIW Fix

1128b

1128b -With Manual Daytona AIW Fix

1128C (pre-release) -With Manual Daytona AIW Fix

1128C (pre-release) -With No Daytona

Every version mentioned above was tested and worked 100%

If you have any other issues, for instance issues loading tracks other than Daytona or otherwise, IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO RE-INSTALL FROM THE DVD.

If you have ANY issues with the Auto Updater client or the patch and are seeking support please zip all log files with a 1128C marking and submit them with your support request. I am unable to debug a partial log file.

I have done as much as I can to keep users from needing to re-install their game in order to patch to 1128C right now. If there are any cases in which a reinstall is required, be sure to get the log files from your original attempt to me and let me know if nothing worked other than re-installing. I can assure you all that the more log files I receive specific to fatal errors where a patch could not run, the less that reinstalls will occur in the future.

Thankyou and please enjoy!

Here it is! 1128d!

New Features:

-Montreal!

-Updater now downloads from multiple mirrors chosen at random

Fixes:

-Possible Nashville mismatch issues

-Removed all old Nashville files

-Hopefully fixed x64 OS issues with Daytona.mas error

-Updated Changelog

-Updated Updater and Patch screens to give better instructions of what you can do to resolve an issue instead of the "Reinstall the game" message.

***1128d will only patch 1128C. If you are at a lower version than 1128C you MUST use 1128C first. The updater is configured to download any patch files you need to get to 1128d.

If you already have the Auto Updater just run it. It will find the new patch and download automatically.

If you don't have the new Auto Updater yet, get it here:

http://www.simcup.net/asr_1128d/ASR_Updater.zip

If you need a direct link to the patch file itself for any reason, you can use this for now, more direct links will be online shortly.

http://www.simcup.net/asr_1128d/ASR_1128C-1128d.exe

Please run the Updater before turning to direct links.

***IF you are one of the first ones to download the patch via updater, the RaceSims mirror does not have the patch online yet, but will have it online shortly.***

The Sim Factory and NVIDIA team up for NVISION 08

The Sim Factory is very excited to team up with NVidia for the NVISION 08 show in San Jose August 25-27.

Featuring over 55 hours of jaw-dropping visual wonderment - from today's hottest games and movies, video, science, mobile and computer technologies - you will get to experience, touch and feel the latest visual technologies that will change your life. And let you see into the future.

You'll also get to meet the inventors and the celebrities who are leading the revolution!

The Sim Factory will be setting up two full cockpit simulators running ASR08 and will be demonstrating the ability to train with our technologies on stage with Kyle Busch.

The race between Kyle and myself will be shown on a theater sized projection screen for the thousands in attendance to view. After the demonstration both cockpits will be moved to NVidia's booth where attendees of the show can experience the head-to-head driving action themselves.

Nick Steelman and myself will be in attendance from the Sim Factory and we are very excited for the relationship that we are building with NVidia. We are already in discussions with NVidia in regards to their newly acquired AGEA technologies, which we believe will be the future of ASR.

We are certain that the future of racing simulation will be based on the AGEA technologies now owned by NVidia and that we will be able to deliver more degrees of motion than curently allowed in physics and a far higher level of graphic detail and animations because of the usage of this technology.

As we may be new to this industry as well as having our flaws...we will not stop our quest to deliver our clients an even higher level of racing realism than allowed with todays technology and continue to strive to be the best at stock car racing in the simulation industry.

ASR08 UPDATE 1.01

PHYSICS CHANGES IN THIS UPDATE:

1. GLOBAL TIRE UPDATE: This patch encompasses new tire compound data from Hoosier for 2009 at all tracks as well as updates all

short tracks to Radial Tires and proper compunds per the 2008/2009 competition regulations of the ARCA RE/MAX Series. Tire heat was

modeled from real data based on slip of the car. New Tire Modeling for below temp, above temp and off pressure values

2. GLOBAL ENGINE UPDATE: In addition additional engine research was conducted and a completely revised heating pattern has been integrated

into all race engines to simulate seperate water and oil cooling systems.

3. GLOBAL SUSPENSION UPDATE: The new suspensions based from 2009 technology advancements and new data have been implemented at all tracks.

This includes Drop Snout Chassis for flatter Short Tracks, Intermediate Chassis for INT and SW tracks as well as the Road Course Chassis

for Montreal.

4. GLOBAL AERO UPDATE: New aero data from 2008/2009 has been added at all tracks. Setups may need to change as you utlize this newer technology.

5. SLOW STEERING BUG FIXED: Slow speed steering was fixed. Steering lock was liffted as well to allow a slightly higher range.

EXECUTABLE (EXE) and GAMEDATA BASED CHANGES:

1. SCORING FIXES: Scoring change to fix freeze field and caution. Read below for proper server PLR file settings.

Adjust Frozen Order="2.00000" - FOR BEST RESULTS

MULTI Safety Car Thresh="1.00000" - FOR BEST RESULTS

2. SESSION NAMES FIXED: Practice 01, Qualifying, Happy Hour and Race

3. Verbage changes to language file for in-game texts

4. HAULER CODING ADDED: May not be available at all tracks yet. Most are done or will be in next update.

Naming should be done as follows. Using the number 06 Toyota as example.

In the root CAMRY/06 folder place your hauler texture and it would be labeled: 06Plpop.dds

5. Changed when building new PLAYER file so that default connection rate is set to 256/256 Cable. No one should ever

adjsut higher or lower then this setting in our opinions. We may remove the ability to adjust at some point.

TRACK CHANGES:

1. Texture Changes at Nashville

2. Re-Grooved Track Surface at Kansas for better racing lines

HAULERS ADDED:

A majority of the cars have the proper team hauler which loads in at each track. Any track that doesnt
