Studio 397 ha voluto rassicurare tutti i giocatori di rFactor 2 circa il futuro del simulatore, che continuerà ad essere sviluppato e migliorato per renderla la piattaforma principale per gli eventi esports su PC tenuti da Motorsport Games. Lo Studio ha anche confermato che il motore utilizzato per sviluppare rF2 verrà utilizzato anche per futuri progetti come il nuovo videogame dedicato alla NASCAR, senza dimenticare le licenze di Le Mans e del BTCC

E' tornato ad aggiornarsi oggi Assetto Corsa, il celebre simulatore targato Kunos. L'update dalle modestissime dimensioni (solo 274 kb) potrebbe però nascondere informazioni più interessanti di quanto si possa pensare: tramite il famoso sito steamdb.info è possibile infatti controllare quali file sono cambiati con l'aggiornamento odierno ed è possibile notare come siano stati aggiunti dei file dedicati alla BMW M2 CS Racing.

La vettura sopracitata è presente al momento solo su rFactor 2, dove si terrà presto una nuova stagione della BMW M2 CS Racing Cup. D'altro canto BMW aveva già dichiarato che il 2021 sarebbe stato un anno all'insegna del simracing, quindi prende sempre più piede l'ipotesi dell'arrivo della M2 CS Racing fornita da BMW sotto forma di mod con una competizione dedicata, come accaduto per il Ferrari Challenge tenutosi lo scorso anno.

Dopo aver rilasciato domenica scorsa l'ultimo update, il team Reiza ci aggiorna sullo sviluppo del suo Automobilista 2 con il Development Update di Febbraio 2021.

Il mese prossimo segnerà il primo anniversario dal rilascio iniziale in accesso anticipato di AMS2, il 31 marzo 2020, durante questo primo anno gli sviluppatori si sono concentrati principalmente sullo sviluppo del nucleo di simulazione e sull'assemblaggio di una base di contenuti ampia e diversificata; il secondo riguarderà ancora principalmente l'introduzione di nuove funzionalità di gioco che sfruttino al meglio tutte queste basi.

Data la portata degli aggiornamenti fisici negli ultimi mesi e il loro impatto sulle prestazioni di diverse vetture, si è deciso che un reset delle schede Time Trial e del suo DB di setup sarà online con l'aggiornamento di marzo; allo stesso modo un aggiornamento sostanziale alla modalità campionato con diverse nuove opzioni significherà che i campionati salvati dalla versione corrente non funzioneranno più dopo l'aggiornamento di fine marzo.

Ci sono molte cose interessanti in arrivo con il prossimo aggiornamento e i mesi successivi, ma se ne parlerà nell'aggiornamento alla fine di questo mese, appena prima del rilascio della nuova versione.

Greetings everyone!

It´s hard to believe that we have already hit March 2021 - time is flying by faster than a Sauber Mercedes C9 set to max boost!

This means this Dev Update has actually run a couple of days late as we focused on wrapping the big update just deployed this past Sunday - February just wasn´t long enough

March is likewise shaping as another very busy month as we gear up to what should hopefully be another major update - one that will mark the first anniversary since AMS2´s initial EA release.

For that reason, we´ll be keeping this dev update a bit leaner than usual, focusing on the information that´s most important as we approach this new milestone.

LAYING DOWN THE GROUNDWORK

Sunday saw the release of v1.1.2.0 update to AMS2, which has just been complemented by the v1.1.2.1 hotfix earlier today, with another minor update scheduled to be deployed before the end of the week.

While the rate of development has remained pretty intense from the very first public release, the last couple of months in particular has seen a big influx of updates to physics, AI and FFB, and regular users would have been forgiven for feeling like the game was under maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience, but it has truly been to better serve you

On the physics front, the core of the dev work has been focused on tire and driveline development - these are two components of the physics engine that were completely new in the Madness engine relative to what we had been used to up to AMS1 - they are also much more sophisticated, which has proved to be a steep learning curve to get on top of.

Things did pick up pace in recent months, and physics for certain cars went through some big changes in between updates, occasionally with some sideways steps or even slightly backwards before things come together to lurch forward again - we realize this may have been a bit frustrating to go through for the users, but it was important to get it done and cover most ground in the shortest amount of time so we could establish the stable baseline we´ll be relying on moving forward.


As physics change, the AI needs to be adjusted to suit since they run on simpler tire and driveline models relative to the much more complex physics used in the player´s car - the AI has received plenty of developments of its own, with several adjustments to their behavior and an increased breakdown of previously global parameters allowing for car-specific tuning of various aspects which compose their overall performance - this allows for more detailed fine tuning of AI in any given series, which is crucial in a sim featuring everything from rental karts to racing trucks.

The latest update has also seen some valuable FFB development, with the default profile now providing more accurate self-aligning torque and various handling dynamics such as brake torque, wheel lockup, and traction loss also becoming more detailed through the FFB.

These three fronts are key for the driving & racing experience, and while all will continue to evolve through AMS2´s shelf life, we have hopefully reached a state from which progress should become more incremental, and users thus can be more reliant on the experience remaining a lot more consistent from one update to the next.

We now have the solid baseline needed to introduce & flesh out more gameplay features to make the best use of all this groundwork - that is the plan as we enter this 2nd year in AMS2 shelf life, and the first big step should arrive already later this month.



THE NEXT UPDATE

Next month will mark the first anniversary since the initial Early Access release of AMS2 on March 31th 2020, and over this first we have mostly focused on developing the simulation core and assembling a large, diverse content base; the second will still be primarily about introducing new gameplay features that make best use of all this groundwork.

Given the extent of the physics updates in recent months and their impact on the performance of several cars, we have decided that a reset of Time Trial boards and its setup DB will be in order with our March update; likewise a substantial update to championship mode with several new options will mean saved championships from the current version will no longer work after the late March update.

So a bit of inconvenience ahead, but a necessary clean slate to bring these game modes up to par - while it´s always possible this may again be necessary further down the line in case of a major breakthrough, we assure that at least for the foreseeable future things should remain much more stable.



There is a lot of cool stuff coming up with the next update and subsequent months that we are eager to share, but we´ll leave that for the Dev Update we´ll be posting later this month just before the new version is released, so we can cover them in more detail

In the meantime we hope you all manage to stay safe and enjoy a fun time with AMS2 or whatever else tickles your sim racing bone - we hope it´s contributing to that crucial little bit of indoor joy while we continue to hunker down in these tough times!

Dopo l'annuncio di ieri dell'acquisizione da parte di Motorsport Games, arriva oggi una nuova patch per KartKraft rilasciata da Black Delta. Dopo l'update di qualche giorno fa, definito dagli sviluppatori come il più significativo miglioramento all'handling dei kart dal rilascio del simulatore, oggi vengono corretti alcuni bugs.

L'aggiornamento precedente, cominciato come una semplice analisi del carico sullo pneumatico durante il passaggio sui cordoli ha portato alla luce un bug che una volta risolto ha restituito dei kart con un feeling molto più naturale e con un force feedback più dettagliato.

Build 0.1.0.2929 is now live! Please restart Steam if you do not see the update.

We're back with another update and arguably the biggest change to the handling of the karts since the launch of KartKraft. What began as an analysis of tyre loads when riding over kerbs, quickly became a much deeper investigation into the damping response of the tyres with respect to the rate of change of steering input. This uncovered a bug in the method used to calculate the damping velocity of the tyre and after it was resolved, we witnessed much more consistent loads across varying steering input rates of change. As such, all tyres/classes have been re-tuned with the result being an improved and much more natural driving feel that allows you to lean on the tyres during cornering, trail brake and lap consistently with more detailed force feedback.

We've also been working with Valve to investigate and fix the issues causing some players' wheels not being detected by KartKraft despite Steam Input being disabled both by the player and in the steam game backend. Valve has now released a patch for Steam and we have made changes that should resolve this for all players. Despite the good news however, this change does require all controllers to be rebound.

Changes

• Improved implementation of Minimum Force for wheel force feedback
• Improved FFB algorithm
• Added basic support for Logitech Wheel LED lights
• Reduced stopping force of gravel traps
• Setup parameters now display the significant digit when set to values below 1. i.e 0.1 rather than .1
• Fixed bug where controller would receive force feedback when wheel is being used and vice versa
• Fixed tyre damping bug that caused incorrect loads when cornering
• Improved tyre and handling model for KA100, X30 and KZ2 classes
• Fixed issue where Steam would steal Direct Input wheel control away from the game. This change will require you to rebind your wheel
• Added frame identifier to UDP telemetry. Telemetry clients can now validate telemetry frames using KartKraft.Frame.FrameBufferHasIdentifier(bytes)
• Fix for wheel input being overridden by Steam when user has Steam Input enabled
• HUD now shows vehicle class
• Fixed leaderboard not updating after exit of time trial event
• Easy/Medium AI retuned to make them easier
• Fixed crash when adjusting KZ2 drivetrain sprocket teeth.
• Fixed AI vehicles sometimes failing to load

Build 0.1.0.2964 is now live! Please restart Steam if you do not see the update. Another small update with the following improvements:

- Reduced load sensitivity of MG Yellow tyres
- Reduced default brake strength for newly purchased KA100 vehicles so braking is much easier to control
- Fixed bug where some wheels would auto-centre when using a 180 degree steer limit
- Fixed input errors when attempting to play using gamepad with a correctly bound but unplugged steering wheel
- Fixed some glitches in input settings menu when using wheel controls
- Fixed some undesirable wheel forces when retiring from race
- Added a 2sec fade in for FFB when transitioning to driving. (This will be improved for rolling/flying starts in a future update.)
- Added a mild FFB soft-lock at steering wheel limits
- Added a debug launch option -DebugUDPTelemetry. If set, all telemetry will be logged to project_k.log for debugging problems with motion rigs. Warning: use sparingly, and remember to turn it off, as it can result in very large log files.

Build 0.1.0.2992 is now live! Please restart Steam if you do not see the update.

Today's update contains the following improvements:
- Fixed font issue for languages other than English. Main menu option fonts will look different but are now legible. Nicer fonts and translations are slated for the future.
- Added more telemetry output: Vehicle world position, session elapsed time, session name, track name, track address, track country code.
- Added the ability to manually drive in to the pits during practice sessions.

VR
- Improved VR input for menus. Menus now default to using mouse, with an option to switch to gaze input available in Settings > VR.
- Added new setting to fine tune world scale in VR. Use this setting only if the world feels "wrong" to you. Default of 100% should be correct for 99% of people. Available in Settings > VR.
- Added an option to switch between Headphones (head-tracked) and Speaker (non-head-tracked) mode for audio. Available in Settings > VR.
- Fixed a bug which caused VR settings to be invisible.

Input
- Fixed issue preventing the ability to bind G27 clutch pedal.
- Improved FFB fade in when returning to driving. Now much faster and more direct.

Il team di Live for Speed ha rilasciato da qualche giorno la nuova patch versione 0.6V per il suo simulatore.

La release 0.6V contiene molte nuove funzionalità, correzioni e miglioramenti, ma non si tratta dell'aggiornamento grafico di cui si è già parlato nei mesi scorsi. L'update utilizza ancora lo stesso sistema fisico della versione precedente, ma consente una gamma più ampia di opzioni di configurazione per alcune delle auto. La scelta è stata fatta per accontentare le richieste di rallycross e drifting.

Angoli di sterzata più ampi e un'ampia gamma di pneumatici sono ora possibili sulle vetture GTR selezionando una nuova configurazione nella schermata. Ciò consente anche alcune interessanti possibilità per le gare su pista poiché è possibile selezionare pneumatici più stretti, il che può aiutare quando si creano classi da corsa con potenza inferiore per alcuni eventi. Inoltre adesso la posizione, la velocità, il carico di carburante, i danni e così via di ogni auto vengono trasmessi frequentemente a tutti gli altri piloti su un server e sono state migliorate alcune cose sui pit stop. Ad esempio, ora puoi cambiare gli pneumatici senza dover riparare i danni alla carrozzeria o alle sospensioni.

Non mancano miglioramenti per force feedback, controlli inclusi volante e freno a mano, più oggetti di layout e VR. Commenti sul forum dedicato.

This is the information page for version 0.6V which contains a lot of new features, fixes and improvements. This is not the graphics update we have been talking about in recent progress reports. This one still uses the same physics system as the public version it replaces, but allows a wider range of setup options for some of the cars.

We have had requests over the years to allow more possibilities for rallycross and drifting. We were able to implement these changes by making a new version that could not connect online with the old version. Wider steering angles and a wide range of tyres are now possible on the GTR cars by selecting a new ALTERNATE configuration in the setup screen. This also allows some interesting possibilities for hard track racing as narrower tyres can be selected, which can help when creating lower powered racing classes for some events.

As we were making an incompatible version, it was a good opportunity to improve the prediction system that allows you to see remote cars driving on your screen. Every car's position, velocity, fuel load, damage and so on are transmitted frequently to all the other racers on a server. We have used various methods to make this information more accurate so the cars appear to move more smoothly. We were also able to improve some things about pit stops. For example you can now change tyres without being forced to repair body or suspension damage.

There are really a lot of updates in this version. They include improvements for force feedback, controls including steering wheels and handbrake, more layout objects, VR, views, InSim and OutSim.

Four ways to get version 0.6V:
1) AUTO UPDATER - If you already have version 0.5V or later :
- Click on "Multiplayer" then "List of Hosts" in LFS and choose a download mirror.

Test-Driver.it ha pubblicato a questo link un interessante articolo che spiega con dovizia di dettagli e con illustrazioni chiare tutto ciò che c'è da sapere riguardo i pneumatici di Assetto Corsa Competizione.

Quote

Possiamo affermare con certezza che il pneumatico riveste un ruolo chiave nella dinamica di guida, poichè è l’unico punto di contatto tra l’auto e l’asfalto e pertanto l’attenzione da porre a questa componente deve essere molto alta...

Una delle novità principali in arrivo con la prossima build season 2 di iRacing sarà un'ulteriore step evolutivo del modello dei danni per le vetture, che riguarderà fra le altre cose anche il sistema dei contatti fra gomma e gomma, molto importante per le monoposto. Un nuovo video di anteprima ci illustra ogni dettaglio.
