Il team SMS ha rilasciato anche oggi una nuova versione aggiornata del suo Project CARS: la Build 341, disponibile per tutti gli utenti Junior Member+, porta con sè come di consueto numerosi bugfix, alcune migliorie (il multiplayer è già giocabilissimo!) e qualche novità interessante. Da non perdere i numerosi video e screens realizzati dagli appassionati.

Il team di iRacing ha puntualmente rilasciato la nuova Build del simulatore utile per disputare la nuova Stagione 4 che partirà in questi giorni. Come di consueto sono numerose le migliorie, i bugfix e le novità apportate da questa release, come ad esempio i circuiti di Oran Park (nel video di confronto qui sotto) e Rockingham Speedway, il nuovo spotter e la radio in car, il nuovo modello gomme per la Lotus 79 e molto altro ancora. Tutti i dettagli e commenti a questo link del forum.

iRacing is excited to release yet another feature, function and content update to the service as it does every 90 days. The constant updates are unique in the industry and we hope you enjoy the latest update as our standard Season 4 racing season is set to start. This build was a big one for us as some massive architectural changes were completed including allowing for 64 bit computing and touch screen capabilities as well as the foundation for what we are calling Team Racing. From a members perspective – for now -- you will notice the new spotter functionality and new radio and scanner features as the start of the overall team functionality in this build. More will continue to roll out in the future. These large architectural changes are exciting for us long-term and set the stage for many enhancements in the future.

That said, we have not forgotten about the short term either as you can see from our release notes by clicking here. Along with the spotter functionality some of the highlights include new content including Rockingham Speedway and Oran Park. One of America’s most legendary ovals, Rockingham (aka The Rock) hosted nearly 100 NASCAR Sprint Cup races over the years, while Oran Park enjoyed a special place in the hearts Australian race fans before it was demolished to make way for a housing development. Now, Oran Park and its distinctive figure eight layout will live forever . . . thanks to iRacing.

FYI, the much anticipated Lotus 49 is close to being released but not quite ready for prime time and we will get it out as soon as it is ready. We also included our latest dose of realism - a feature that produces buildup of dirt and grime on your windshield, along with tear-offs enabling your crew to give you a clear view ahead after every pit stop. Again, see our release notes linked above for full list of updates.

Andy Garton ha annunciato questa sera che il team Slightly Mad Studios ha raggiunto un accordo di licenza per inserire in Project CARS le vetture della RUF, casa automobilistica tedesca famosa per il tuning di diversi modelli Porsche. Le licenze annunciate al momento sono la CTR “Yellowbird” 1987, CTR3 2012, Rt 12R 2012 e la RGT-8 2012. Garton ha anche annunciato che un altro contratto di licenza è in dirittura d'arrivo...

License signed for 1987 CTR “Yellowbird”, 2012 CTR3, 2012 Rt 12R and the 2012 RGT-8.

A certain large German manufacturer (it’s not Porsche, and I won’t say who so don’t bother guessing) actually contacted us today to ask if we’d like some of their cars in the game, so the tide could be turning

(No doubt their next step will be to tell us how much we have to pay, but still!)

La Codemasters ha rilasciato oggi la nuova patch ufficiale numero 11 per aggiornare il suo F1 2012. Commenti a questo link del forum.

F1 2012 – PC Patch #11 News

Today sees patch #11 available on Steam for PC versions of F1 2012. This is very likely to be the last patch for PC. This update addresses the following issues:

• Made an improvement to the AI under braking that will stop them from crashing in to the back of the player so frequently.
  
• Deactivated the run_on_cpu option which was added with the last patch. The feedback given did not indicate that this improved the framerate for anybody.Fixed two issues when using the Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP Wheel.
  

• The default Logitech control profile is always selected after player attempts to customise the controls with this wheel.
  
• Placeholder graphic shown for View Replay button icon when using a Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP Wheel as no button/key is assigned to View Replay.
  

Work Arounds:

• If you’re getting a stuttering during gameplay please try turning your Anti Aliasing setting down.
  
• If you have the incorrect race distance in season two issue please try.
  

1. From the Main Menu select Career -> Career -> Settings -> Race Settings.
   
2. Back out (you don’t need to change anything) and scroll back to the Main Hub.
   
3. You can now continue your play through as normal.
   

E' disponibile da qualche giorno la nuova build 76 aggiornata dell'ottimo SimRaceWay: si attesa di ulteriori nuove vetture in fase di sviluppo, questa nuova release porta con sè numerose novità e migliorie, come potete leggere in dettaglio sul topic dedicato.

I video di confronto con i simulatori sono sempre molto affascinanti: oltre all'ultimo trailer di AdrianF1, che analizza i tracciati di Infineon, Nurbrugring e Nordschleife in Project CARS, sono da non perdere i due nuovi video di DigiProst, che confrontano Project CARS con iRacing e lo stesso iRacing con la realtà di Laguna Seca!

We are happy to confirm that the next major update of Euro Truck Simulator 2 is going to come with officially licensed DAF Trucks branding for the XF tractor. The upcoming extensive game update is going to bring quite a lot changes and improvements, lots of tweaks to the map, to AI, to physics, to lights, translations into new languages, and more. We are currently in beta testing of these changes, but it's a really big batch of code, art, and design touches, and may take some time to polish (perhaps up to two weeks) before we hope to be in shape to release it.
