Nuova patch rilasciata per iRacing, la quinta della build attuale. Tra le modifiche più interessanti e importanti apportate da questa patch abbiamo una pagina di status disponibile qui che mostra lo stato dei server del servizio e l'attivazione o meno del servizio di Test Drive. Oltre a questa novità abbiamo l'introduzione di una sessione di warm-up per le sessioni private di gara e una modifica apportata alla registrazione ad un evento: con questa nuova patch infatti non sarà più possibile registrarsi quando il sistema sta creando gli split per l'evento in questione; questo dovrebbe aiutare il sistema negli eventi speciali quando ci sono migliaia di simdriver registrati riducendo il carico di lavoro sullo scheduler.
Ecco di seguito il changelog completo. Commenti nel topic dedicato

Status Page
A brand new System Status page has been added for iRacing!
- This web page details the live status of a variety of iRacing's services and servers, allowing you to check-up on our online status at any time.
- Click on any status report box to get a detailed timeline of that service's performance for the past hour.
- Any current system-wide notifications will be displayed at the top of the page; such as planned maintenance, downtime, or a severe issue we need our Members to know about.
- This web page can be accessed at any time from any device, and is designed to keep you informed.
iRACING UI: (5.06.04)
General
- Fixed a rare issue where the iRacing UI could take the operating system's focus when the connection to the iRacing servers was suddenly severed due to an authentication issue.
- Fixed an issue where the iRacing UI could visually lock-up if it was opened from Membersite when it was already open.
Hosted Racing
- A new Session type, Warm-Up, may now be selected with some event types!
- A Warm-Up Session precedes a Race Session, and gives drivers, teammates, broadcasters, and race officials some extra free-form time before the big event starts.
- A Warm-Up Session may be used in Hosted Sessions that contain both a Practice and Qualify Session.
- When selected, this new Session type includes a time duration slider and an input field for the new Warm-Up period, as well as the ability to set Track State and Time of Day parameters.
MEMBERSITE:
General

Hosted Racing

SIMULATION:
Race Servers
While a Race Server is creating splits and sessions for an event, no new registrations will be allowed for that event. This process occurs when the window for registering for an event as a participant closes. This is particularly helpful for large-scale special events and team events where dozens of splits and sessions are being created at the same time. Stopping new registrations will reduce the load on the scheduler. Further registration and joining of the sessions, for spotting, spectating, etc., will be allowed again after the sessions have been fully created and launched.
This change has no effect on members who register for an event before the splits and sessions are created.
