Dopo gli aggiornamenti rilasciati per Playstation 4 (v1.0.6) ed XBox One (v1.5.1), la Codemasters rende disponibile oggi tramite Steam una nuova patch ufficiale anche per la versione PC del suo F1 2016. Con l'upgrade il software arriva su computer alla release 1.6, con una manciata di bugfix e migliorie.

Good afternoon everyone, we've just set live a new PC patch, version 1.6.0. Patch notes

• Added the Master difficulty option to bridge the gap between Expert and Legend.
• Changed the tyre rules so the tyre you start the race on counts as a mandatory for the race.
• Falling too far behind penalties will no longer be given after being told to overtake the Safety Car.
• Corrected a few translation issues.
• Fixed a bug that could occasionally cause race sessions to never end.
• Fixed a number of crash bugs
  

La creazione del nuovo Studio 397 per lo sviluppo di rFactor 2 ha creato parecchia agitazione negli animi dei fans ISI. Una nuova intervista fatta da SimHQ a Marcel Offermans di Studio 397 chiarisce ulteriormente alcuni concetti, nell'attesa del prossimo update del simulatore previsto in arrivo entro l'anno tramite Steam. Le domande si concentrano in particolare anche sul comparto modding e sulle vetture Stockcars ed Indicar. Commenti sul forum.

Doug: Let me guess. Solving the current modding situation is a high priority. Is it the highest priority?
Marcel: No, the highest priority issues at the moment are DX11, VR support, a better UI, and matchmaking. The workshop already works pretty well from a user perspective. Tools for modders can still be improved though.

Doug: How high a priority is making the packaging process easier to use in rFactor 2?
Marcel: I would say it is medium priority. I would like it to be easier for people that host leagues, maybe even up to the point where they don’t need to package anything. For modders the packaging system works reasonably well. One thing that I would like to do is to make the tools easier to integrate into automated processes, so you can create scripts that package content and that can run unattended.

La creazione del nuovo Studio 397 per lo sviluppo di rFactor 2 ha creato parecchia agitazione negli animi dei fans ISI. La nuova intervista fatta da Pitlanes a Marcel Offermans di Studio 397 è quindi decisamente utile a chiarire ulteriormente alcuni concetti, nell'attesa del prossimo update del simulatore previsto in arrivo entro l'anno tramite Steam. Fra le questioni chiarite, il fatto che i nuovi contenuti arriveranno a parte, massima priorità al supporto DirectX 11 e VR, implementazione dei motori ibridi ed un nuovo sistema per l'acquisto dei contenuti extra.

Will there be DLC’s, maybe including laser scanned tracks? monthly subscription? online cost?
Marcel: We are working on a system for “paid content” that can be leveraged both by the community and ourselves. That will allow us to get more licensed content into the game. We will obviously try to ensure this content is of high quality, so we are considering both laser scanning and leveraging 3D CAD data. As an example of the latter, we are quite proud of Silverstone, which is very accurate and beautifully detailed.

How long until the first release from Studio 397? Will it be content or a core update?
Marcel: The first release is planned for this year and will include a lot of patches and small improvements that have been in development since the last release. This will be the first Steam only update. New content releases are also planned, but we can release those separately.

This bundle combines both Automobilista base game along with Automobilista Season Pass, granting you all the content which is in a single specially discounted purchase. In total, 5 DLC packages comprising a total of 15 items of new series and tracks are currently in development for Automobilista
The first of these packages will be the BRIT PACK, comprising 3 classic british tracks along with 4 popular british club racing cars - these are:

Tracks:
Brands Hatch
Cadwell Park
Oulton Park

Cars:
Ultima GTR (road & race spec)
MCR Sports 2000
Caterham (several models)
Formula Trainer (semi-fictional wingless trainer car)

The BRIT PACK is scheduled for release in September 30th. Along with all DLCs, this bundle also grants Automobilista BETA - a standalone and independent development version of Automobilista, which receives regular updates of in-development features and content allowing users an early taste of these upcoming goodies (including the DLCs).

Automobilista - September Development Update
Greetings folks Here´s our customary review of the work done in Automobilista development over the past month. We´ve been hard at it, both in the development of v1.1 update as well as production of the Brit Pack, both of which are expected for release at some point next week.

V1.1 Development

The major new feature for AMS v1.1 is the inclusion of Radio Spotter as developed by @gongo . This had been a very popular addition to the sim and now with native integration Dan has been able to take it a step further with more info and better accuracy from your race engineer.
Dan has also been doing some work to improve integration with the new Logitech drivers - v1.1 should hopefully see some proper support for their latest G29 / G920 wheels.
On the graphics front, @Alex Sawczuk and @Sandro Kholodkevich have done some great work on new car shaders and materials. Below is a shot of the flashy Ultima GTR featuring these latest developments

We also introduced a new AO mapping technique with seamless textures, which result in both optimized use of textures as well as improved cockpit details. The improvements are very noticeable on the new cars as you can see in this tasty cockpit from the Ultima GTR Race version:

Further good news is that performance not only has not been affected by these updates, but rather the continuing optimization work has led to some more previously troublesome cars to be now running smoother than ever in pretty much any respectable system (so long as you keep to the designated car count limit).
A not so positive note is that Steam Achievements unfortunately will not quite make it in yet in v1.1; we´re not far away from finalising these but unfortunately developing the system & protection for the new content has kept @Luis Miguel busy for longer than we anticipated after v1.0 release.

Brit Pack

The core focus this past month has of course been finalizing the contents of the Brit Pack, our first DLC pack for Automobilista.
This is actually a significant release for us and for those who have been with us for a while now as the Brit Pack will be the first time we´ll be charging long-time users for a new release since Game Stock Car 2013 came out back in September 2013! Fortunately we´re confident the Brit Pack (along with everything else that´s still to come for AMS) will justify that extra investment as the new content are some of the best stuff we have ever produced.

On the track front, as is known we´ll be adding 3 british classics with Brands Hatch, Cadwell Park and Oulton Park - these tracks were hand-picked due to their classic style and heritage and preserved natural flow which are so nicely suited for the rich british club racing scene we´re looking to sample in this pack. All tracks are officially licensed and extensively researched in loco (with the aid of laser scan data in the case of Brands and Oulton Park). They are also excellent venues to stretch the legs of other default cars, exception perhaps taking the more powerful cars around Cadwell unless you´re really looking for a test of reflexes and precision
The cars were produced in close collaboration with the manufacturers and we´ve also had input from several of their respective real world drivers during development - this is a claim we hear all the time of course to the point it has become a tired sim racing cliche, the proof as always will be in the pudding and we´re very satisfied with how these new cars have turned out

Beyond the data and the resulting accuracy of the models, fundamentally it all rides on the nature of what´s being simulated, and here is where we feel the Brit Pack will really shine - just glancing through some Youtube videos of these cars being driven on these tracks in anger should be enough to see the fun factor involved is off the charts These are all very different animals and tracks compared to the default content of AMS, and as such they add a whole new dimension to the sim. I´ll go out on a limb and say there will be at least one combo from this pack that will make towards the top of your list of favorite simracing experiences
Here are some fresh previes of the new content:

Ultima GTR (road & race version)
F-Trainer (Novice & Advanced versions)
MCR Sports 2000

Here you can see Niels taking the MCR out for a spin:

All new tracks and series with the exception of the Caterhams are now available in fairly advanced state in AMS Beta which is now up to v1.0.8 so if you got the DLC Season Pass - if you haven´t grab it now and get on racing!

Future AMS DLCs

Of course, the Brit Pack is not the end of the road for upcoming AMS content - it is in fact just the beginning!
We have hinted before what´s coming down the road but haven´t quite gone into the specifics - in fact I can´t quite detail all the specifics for all DLC packs just yet, but for the sake of providing some relevant reference for those who have acquired or are considering buying the Season Pass, here are some preliminary info along with a few hints we can share to give you a better idea (please keep in mind the exact contents of each and the timelines may still be subject to some shuffling as we move forward):

October

• Brit Pack
  

November:

• Legendary Tracks Part 1: Imola (1972, 1988, 2001, 2016 versions)
• New Series - TBA (hint: big and heavy)
  

December:

• New series - TBA (hint: Classic content)
  

January 2017:

• Legendary Tracks Part 2 - TBA (hint: it´s got a long historical variant)
  

February 2017:

• Car pack from a major manufacturer - TBA (hint: it´s awesome)
  

March 2017:

• Legendary Tracks Part 3 - TBA (hint: not a permanent road course)
• Aussie Racing Car
  

As we progress we will naturally be detailing these packs further, but those will be topics for future dev updates - starting next month when I hope to be able to share some of the bigger things, both literally and figuratively
Keep in mind that as more stuff is confirmed, prices for both the Season Pass on Steam & Membership pack here are bound to receive another upgrade - the sooner you get onboard, the more value you´ll get for your buck.
Not forgetting that there are also a couple of free items still to be added to the base game, like Ibarra and a couple of dirt / mixed track courses before AMS development finally wraps at some point in Q1 2017.
Worth reminding also that AMS Base Game is currently selling 20% off on Steam. As usual though the best prices for both base game as well as membership packs (including the DLC Season Pass) can be found in our forum store.

Con un messaggio su Facebook accompagnato da uno screenshot, il team di iRacing ci aggiorna sul lavoro di sviluppo in corso riguardo l'implementazione dello sterrato nel simulatore americano. Il tracciato in terra sarà ovviamente dinamico e reagirà in modo realistico al passaggio delle vetture.

Development work on dirt is going great! The physics, art, and track dynamics systems are all starting to work together in real-time. Today we took the #25 Sprint car out for a spin at Eldora Speedway. Here you'll see the first glimpse of a prepared track beginning to develop a groove. Not yet visible but almost ready will be the accumulation of loose dirt and a cushion. Again, this is all dynamic... the track will constantly change and react based on the cars, resulting in an unparalleled dirt racing simulation.
