(Requires up-to-date build of rFactor 2).

Physics (both Karts)

– New tires which have enabled the contact patch model for the first time.

– Added new wet weather variables for tires.

– Numerous AI correlation tweaks. AI warm tires quicker, wear slower and more evenly (F/R).

– Reduced inertia for wheels and engine. The wheels were set conservatively due to instability, an issue which new, more accurate tires have are the result.

– Reduced axle and gearbox friction to what should be a more accurate level.

– Softened undertray collision points which makes the kart more realistic and controllable over tall curbs.

– Fixed geometry bug that went unnoticed that was caused by a build bug fix (which was improperly defined in the previous kart release, and has been corrected for Builds 860 and newer).

– Tweak to reduce some ‘hopping’ experienced in certain extreme situations.

Physics Junior Kart specific

– Engine engine has more low end torque. Combined with other changes, it now accelerates a lot better from standstill.

Physics KartF1 specific

– Increased grip to correspond better with the class of tyre this is simulating.

UI

– Changed category name in-sim from ‘Kart Cup’ to ‘Karts’.

– Camera offset to match steering wheel.

Graphics

– Updated shaders

– Updated textures

– Minor 3D fixes

The contact patch model is still not fully complete, but at a sufficient point now. It is still lacking some lateral and longitudinal variability due to temperature / pressure and the lat/long deflections are still slightly over sensitive under extreme conditions when patch is extremely small. The vertical deflections are considered accurate. We will release more details soon.

There are also some setup adjustments not yet available in the UI. An update will follow.

Westhill :

New version of Westhill with additional configurations

News post: http://rfactor.net/web/2015/04/03/rf...now-available/

Update 31 (Build 946) Changelog:

FEATURES:

————-

– Made “Time Scale” set to “Race %” work for percentage-timed races when a track’s default duration was more than 2 hours (but left mechanical failures work the same way as they had been).

– Added local content management to Launcher.

– Added support for batch downloads in Launcher’s remote content tab.

– Added ring stiffness multipliers to TGM files.

– Added third party content publishing to Launcher.

FIXES:

————-

– By default, the multithreaded physics are turned off for now. Set the PLR file variable “Sim Processor Thresh” to 3 to turn on, or 255 to turn off (note that we don’t allow them to be turned on for dual cores). Please do NOT use +procmask for the purpose of disabling multithreaded physics anymore.

– Number of pitstops as reported in results file and plugin will no longer count drive-thru’s nor Esc’ing from track to garage.

– Made unlimited laps in qualifying truly unlimited.

– Fix for aspect ratio problems in monitor.

– Disabled an unnecessary message pump in the simulation thread. The latter appears to fix the CPU spikes that some were experiencing.

– Added HTTP Basic Authentication to dedicated server mod downloads.

– Fixed halt when returning to monitor. (Cloud maps were being reloaded because the path appeared to change in retail mode.)

– Use any available car in a replay if the original can’t be found (can happen with clients viewing a server replay without having downloaded a virtual vehicle that was present).

– Fixed unnecessary reloads of matchmaker list.

– Lined up vehicle labels in monitor.

– Made vehicle labels more legible under different conditions.

– Fixed multiplayer client skin download status gizmo icons so they are again visible (when they should be).

– Fixed rare problem in ded server where rfm from previous mod was used if it (rmf file) has exact same name as rfm file in current mod.

– Fixed a crash that could happen while resuming a replay of a non-race session.

MODDING / PUBLIC DEV:

————-

– Added playerfile parameter “Disable Resume in Replay”, that when set to 1, will let you jump into realtime during a replay instead of “resuming”. Did this so that a person could record fastest paths from replay files using the AIW editor in the Mod Mode.

– Added ability to look for digital flags so that that a track builder can have a mix of corner workers and digital flags around the track. (animations are: “DF_FLAGDOWN”, “DF_FLAGHELD”, “DF_FLAGWAVE”, “DF_SAFETYCAR”, “DF_VICTORY”, “DF_PRESTART”, “DF_START”)

– simplified grid, pit, & garage spot marking.

– Allowed AIW editor to set number of garages per pit spot for ease of editing.

– Fixed Camera FOV editing.

MULTIPLAYER

————-

– Added new MPFile parameter “SERVER_allow_loose_content_transfer” that will disable client to client propagation of custom skins and virtual vehicles (both disabled when set to 0, only virtual vehicles disabled when set to 1, and both working when set to 2)

– In the case of matching names while trying to boot someone, at least kick *someone* (current choice is client before AI).

– Improved multiplayer skin transfers so there is less chance of name mix up.

GRAPHICS:

————-

– New tonemapper

– Optimized single-pass HDR for multiview.

– Adjusted some hdr/sky params to work with new tonemapper

During the production schedule for the newly released Build 946 it became obvious that the old tonemapper wasn’t working very well on certain tracks. Both Saõ Paulo and Malaysia became the perfect place to experiment with the new tonemapper. Then, because Malaysia hadn’t been given a lot of attention in recent times, we wanted to grab this opportunity to give the place a polishing pass. It is, frankly, a superbly challenging circuit – it deserved it!

Dopo i vari Collins, Hamilton, Webb e Rast, un nuovo pilota reale si unisce alla pattuglia di tester dell'imminente Project CARS targato Slightly Mad Studios: si tratta del giovane William Tregurtha, che quest'anno corre nel Ginetta Junior Championship d'Inghilterra.

"Project CARS has helped by giving me the opportunity to drive circuits before I get to them in real life. The tracks are all extremely close to reality and so are the cars. The fact that Slightly Mad Studios have built a community-centred game using real world drivers to push forward the sim has helped. I have been given the opportunity to be a part of this and to contribute to the project which is very rewarding. I have focused mainly on the Ginetta Junior as that is what I will be racing this year, and I can say that it is a very realistic representation of the real thing with every little detail appearing to have been modelled (though I look forward to our new rear wings appearing in the game!)"

Il sospetto era già venuto agli appassionati quando Massarutto aveva segnalato il trailer su Facebook, oggi è arrivata la conferma ufficiale della nuova licenza Mercedes AMG GT3 per Assetto Corsa !

KUNOS Simulazioni ha svelato oggi una nuova licenza ufficiale per l'acclamata simulazione di guida Assetto Corsa, la nuovissima Mercedes-Benz AMG GTS GT3! Si tratta del modello racing più innovativo della Casa tedesca, recentemente presentato al salone di Ginevra. Concepita per competere nel Campionato FIA GT3, quest'auto va ad arricchire una griglia di partenza sempre più alta nel simulatore made in Italy. La KUNOS Simulazioni ha seguito da vicino i test invernali condotti da AMG sul circuito di Vallelunga che dal 2009 ospita la sede della software house, ed è stata proprio questa circostanza a convincere il team di sviluppo che quest'auto non poteva mancare nel garage virtuale di Assetto Corsa. Questo modello sarà disponibile nel gioco, in modalità ancora da definire, entro il 2015. Segue il teaser ufficiale di AMG girato in autodromo, che offre un'anticipazione di cosa aspettarsi ingame!
