Website:

Navigation and Site Organization

– Member Site global wrapper has been cleaned up, navigation has been reorganized to help new and old users find things more intuitively.

– The News Room, Race Guide, and Hosted Races pages now contain friendly buttons to help you jump to most main activities (Practice, Popular Races & Practices, Official Races, and Hosted Races).

– Many redundant dashboard widgets have been removed due to redundancy. The only ones that are being left in are the Race Planner and the Service Status widgets, which can be reordered, but not removed.

– The What’s Hot widget has been removed and replaced with a full-page Popular Races guide – same data, more useful.

– The Settings panel has only one pane of settings, because there are no widgets to configure, and no tickers.

– There’s an Store Overview page now, that lets you see all that iRacing has for sale at-a-glance.

Documentation

– The Quick Start guide has been revamped, and is actually quick now.

– Paint Policy and Unofficial policies have been updated (new pdfs).

Leagues

– On the page for Ignored League Applications, clicking the red X will now delete the correct entry.

– Leagues now can track & edit Team Standings for individual League Seasons.

– League Session tooltips are now consolidated, and grow to the left to stay within the global wrapper.

– League Seasons are now sorted by the most recent races that have occurred.

– League Members may now opt out of receiving league mail.

– Fixed an issue where parsing fixed setups for league races would sometimes lead to a page not loading fully.

– Added an error state for max-lengths of League Member nicknames.

Teams

– Added a button within My Teams to allow people to willingly leave a team.

– Transfer of Team Ownership now works as intended.

– Fixed a bug in the Team Registration dialogue where selecting a car in a multiclass session would sometimes load the car image either in a huge form, or would never let the loading indicator go away.

– Fixed Team Session Details rollover tooltips to properly show GMT dates/times & local times.

– On “My Profile”, a link in “my last 10 races” will now link to a team’s page, where applicable.

General

– Racepanel tooltips now expand upwards to keep them within the global wrapper.

– Repaired the spotters page so that it loads in all situations correctly, and will display errors that were being lost in some operations.

– Earned Credits and MPR statistics have been moved to the “My Profile” page.

– 11 sets of Series assets have been updated to prevent the issue where the fixed, teams, and multiclass banners won’t overlap.

– We fixed an issue where sometimes on results, you wouldn’t be able to see your fastest lap.

– The log in page now has a different internal structure, so that certain password keepers won’t incorrectly send users to the wrong place.

– Some results show relevant data where “- – -” was displaying.

– Fixed an issue where track configs sometimes would disappear from the testing panel.

– If a series is active, but doesn’t have any scheduled sessions, it now reports that there aren’t any, instead of showing “purchase required.”

– Fixed an issue with joining a friend’s race from the fixed footer where members could potentially get misregistered.

– Racepanel & Testpanel car forum links are removed.

– When editing “My Profile”, a cancel button now shows if you want to cancel. Error messages are more robust if something goes wrong while editing.

Steam

– Existing iRacing users who didn’t sign up using Steam may now generate a steam key to link their iRacing & Steam accounts. Here’s how:

1) Go to “My Account”, and at the bottom of the page there’s a button to generate a Steam Key – click it.

2) Open Steam, and in the top-level menu, click Games, and then click Activate a Product on Steam…

3) Follow the steps on-screen until you’re asked for a Steam Key. Type in your Steam Key, then submit it. If you already have iRacing installed on your system, you don’t need to install it again via Steam in the steps following activation.

4) Finally, enable the Steam Overlay in iRacing by doing any one of these:

· Click the “Click here to enable it” button on account home once you’ve generated your key. This will automatically enable the Steam Overlay.

· Opening your settings dashboard on any page within the main membersite and turn Steam Overlay on under the section marked “Use Steam Overlay.”

· Open or create “_use64bit.txt” in the iRacing installation directory, type the number 1 into it, and save it.

Simulation:

UI

– Add max percent fuel fill and weight penalty to the Info tab on the session screen.

– We now display the total number of available fast repairs that are available for a race on the Session screen’s Info tab.

– Fix a bug where you could potentially get the Options screen to open up while you also entered the car at the same time.

Physics

– Improved the suspension modeling to account for flexibility of the suspension mounting points. This softens the resulting wheel rate of every car by 2-20% depending on the car. Car setups are likely to fail tech inspection and will need to have their ride heights adjusted to restore their previous levels, and also may need to have slightly stiffer springs selected to offset the extra flex and to regain desired handling characteristics. Most cars have had some degree of tuning to make sure there are no problems with suspension travel and to make sure enough range of adjustment is available.

– All of our cars have updated iRacing setups adjusted for these suspension changes.

– All cars now drop into the world with a warmed up motor, they start at about 170F / 77C now instead of ambient air temp.

– Official sessions can now have a per-car weight penalty and a per-car fuel-fill limit, similar to what is available when Hosted sessions are created. These settings are displayed on the Info tab on the Session screen inside the simulation. We will work on getting the values displayed in appropriate places on the web site. For the moment these values are not used in any series. But they are available to help tune the balance of performance in multi-car series as the season progresses.

Updating

– Made some changes to help repair the iRacing installation when a “Failed to verify signature on program executable” error occurs while trying to launch the simulator. This can happen when Windows is “restored” from a restore point, which unfortunately only restores some of our files and causes our installation to become corrupt.

Replay

– Add in a “video timer”, for the broadcasters, that indicates on the display exactly where in the tape you are so you can easily synchronize videos between live driving and a replay tape.

– Added a keyboard macro to fast forward the replay based on session number and session time. Using the number pad, type +num+time<enter>, following the format of the new video timer display.

Telemetry

– Add in new iRSDK remote message to fast forward replay based on a session number and session time.

– Output shock velocity to telemetry.

Fast Repairs

– All cars now have a checkbox in the F4 Fuel black box to allow the driver to choose whether or not they want to use a fast repair in the upcoming pitstop. Also shown beside the checkbox is the number of remaining fast repairs. If a race is configured for unlimited fast repairs, that will show as 255 remaining. The checkbox will not check when no fast repairs are remaining (0 shown). Fast repairs are only available for use during races, so during testing or practice or qualifying you will see 0 fast repairs remaining.

Driver Swap

– Fixed a problem with the way the client notifies the server that pit service is complete. If that notification was generated very frequently (due to a bug), it would prevent other notifications from being sent to the server, such as requests to get out of the car.

– Fix a bug where getting out of your car while in your pit stall when the pit exit is closed during a caution period could cause an exit closed pits black flag.

Drafting

– Updated general drafting behavior a little to improve racing.

Clubs

– NE and Texas Club logos updated.

Bandai Namco e Slightly Mad Studios hanno annunciato oggi un nuovo ritardo sulla data di uscita del loro Project CARS, che solo poche settimane fa era stata fissata al 2 aprile. Questa volta non viene azzardato un giorno preciso, viene solo detto che la pubblicazione avverrà "a metà maggio".

“Nonostante la nostra esperienza nel produrre racing game amati da pubblico e critica, Project CARS è decisamente il più grande e complesso di tutti. Anche se ormai il 99.9% del gioco è completato, il restante 0.1% ha ancora alcuni piccoli problemi e bug che era difficile prevedere prima. Siamo totalmente impegnati nel garantire un’esperienza mai provata prima e, spostandolo a metà maggio, siamo certi che i fan potranno avere proprio questa esperienza”, queste le parole di Ian Bell, Head of Studio di Slightly Mad Studios “Vogliamo ancora ringraziare i nostri fan il loro supporto e pazienza. C’è una grande aspettativa degli appassionati intorno a Project CARS, titolo che rappresenta un nuovo sfidante tra i giochi di simulazione, e crediamo fermamente che i giocatori meritino il meglio nel momento in cui lo proveranno il day 1. E, visto che la community gaming è il nostro focus primario ed è stata al centro del progetto durante lo sviluppo, ci piacerebbe offrire alcuni contenuti gratuiti per tutti i giocatori, come compensazione per questo piccolo ritardo e come dimostrazione della nostra gratitudine. Questo regalo, che siamo certi farà felici i fan, sarà disponibile dal day 1 e verrà svelato a breve. Tenete d’occhio il nostro sito per maggiori informazioni”.

Many people are asking if the project is still alive or if the beta testing phase is going to start soon... We have one good and one bad news for you. The good news is that the project is more than alive and running. The problem is that it's running too fast and the things that we're adding, revising, recoding are so many that we've not reached yet the moment in which we say "ok, now let's see what the other think about gRally."

Riparte in casa Milestone la sfida per il 2015. Realizzato in collaborazione con il nove volte campione del mondo Rally, Sébastien LoebRally Evo arriverà a tutta velocità nelle case dei giocatori di tutto il mondo con l'obiettivo di regalare indimenticabili scariche di adrenalina, grazie a:

La Kunos Simulazioni, in avvicinamento al rilascio del primo Dream Pack per Assetto Corsa, ci illustra i dettagli (e non mancano gli screens) della nuova modalità “Touristenfahrten”, riferita al circuito del Nürburgring - Nordschleife.

Il DREAM PACK 1 è il primo pacchetto aggiuntivo disponibile per ASSETTO CORSA! Questo DLC integra in Assetto Corsa il leggendario circuito del Nürburgring-Nordschleife e dieci nuove auto. L'inclusione del leggendario circuito del Nordschleife non si limita alla sua versione più nota, ma integra anche la nuova modalità “Touristenfahrten”: si tratta della configurazione più nota agli amanti dei track day: si percorre il Park in uscita, e al termine del giro è necessario seguire il percorso guidato che riporta all’interno del parcheggio: per vivere al meglio un track day virtuale, è stata ideata una modalità dedicata, che sia in modalità pratica che multiplayer consente di simulare il percorso completo, prendendo i tempi sul giro dal primo ponte dopo il parcheggio, fino alla struttura all’inizio del lungo rettilineo del “döttinger höhe”. In Assetto Corsa, sarà possibile rivivere la stessa esperienza di guida, grazie alla riproduzione completa dell'area del Park e del percorso di entrata e uscita. Il Dream Pack 1 può essere acquistato in pre-ordine fino a Mercoledì 11 al prezzo di 9,99 Euro a questo indirizzo.

La Kunos Simulazioni ci ricorda questa mattina che, oltre all'attesissimo Dream Pack con contenuti extra (che si può ancora acquistare con lo sconto del 33%), sarà disponibile in contemporanea e gratuitamente anche l'update che porterà Assetto Corsa alla nuova versione 1.1, con svariate novità e migliorie, come ad esempio le inquadrature che vedete nelle immagini o la possibilità di nebbia.

The new version of Assetto Corsa is not ''just'' about Nordschleife and Dream Pack cars: the new build will improve current features and contents of the main game, adding also several upgrades. For example, gamers will have the chance to choose different fog and overcast conditions that affect visibilty levels and track temperature, adding also some variety in the available environments.

Some additional onboard F6 cameras have been included in Assetto Corsa 1.1 (applied also for all the previous car models) to to offer more action for your replays and video footage. Would you like a different point of view? Then you might like the passenger seat camera.

Reduced default cockpit FOV from 55 to 50 degrees in all cars

Known issues:

Several code-related issues reported from v1.21 & v1.25 are still present in this build, as the code is still being rewritten to eliminate most of the main issues and introduce new features. This is expected to be finished for v1.30 coming up next. For that reason v1.27 has the following known issues:

Bug in the scoring in championship mode for all series;

F-Extreme can occasionally disappear when hitting 8th gear in multiplayer;

F-Extreme & F-Reiza tyre restrictions are not applying in pitstops;

Setting grid position (when qualifying is turned off) does not work (always start from pole

Dedicated tool does not work from Steam version (does work from NonSteam install)

The M119 engine could use just 50% of total boost and still produce more than 710bhp with low fuel consumption, very important for the 24 hours race. Alternatively you can crack the turbo boost to 100% and get a power output of more than 900bhp but at the expense of reliability.

The car had very high levels of downforce, even in the LM low drag version. The downforce was generated by a very big diffuser and under tray, but this also caused the car to be very pitch sensitive. Very stiff suspension was needed to make the car more stable aerodynamically, but the combination of the suspension setup with the diffuser stall at low speeds and the impressive amounts of torque of the turbo charged engine at low revs, make a car easy to spin at slow turns. Careful throttle application is advised.
