Il team ISI ha finalmente rilasciato un nuovo aggiornamento ufficiale per il suo rFactor2: la nuova Build 118 (170MB) è disponibile sia in versione completa, per chi non avesse ancora il gioco installato, sia come upgrade per la release precedente. E' possibile scaricare la Build 118 in auto update direttamente via software oppure effettuare il download del file nel modo più classico e rapido dalla nostra area files. Per commenti e discussioni in merito fate riferimento a questo topic del forum dedicato.

This build is released on the auto updater. Make sure you are logged into the launcher, and then go to the update tab. Or, you can update/full install manually as you have for previous updates.

Note: The update file is larger at 170mb than any previous one, I think. Be aware of the fact it might take longer. It's also VERY possible you will crash the auto update server. That's sort of what we want. Your readme says 117, don't worry, you have 118. This got done late, as you can probably tell, but at least you get to tinker with it all weekend.

The Lotus 49 will be joining iRacing very soon!

La Codemasters prosegue nel suo lavoro di "messa a punto" del nuovo F1 2012: è disponibile da questo pomeriggio infatti la patch ufficiale numero 8, che oltre a correggere la consueta manciata di bugs, risolve anche un fastidioso Errore 41, che non permette il lancio del gioco.

Today sees patch #8 available on Steam for PC versions of F1 2012. This update addresses the following issues:

• Added an option to turn the Parc Ferme rules on or off in online Custom Race, Co-Op and LAN games. This option can be found within the Simulation Settings and defaults to on. Setting this to off will allow players to set up their cars in Qualifying sessions and will also allow players who join in progress during qualifying to edit their car setup before the race.
  
• Fixed an exploit in One Shot Qualifying where users could post impossibly quick lap times.
  

We’re continuing to investigate the issue of saves being shown as corrupt after being restored from the cloud. For now our advice would be to always choose to keep your local save if there is a mismatch.....

The Menus are now 95% complete and fully localised, Graphics are now fully scalable and should work on low spec hardware. The DirectX 11 build is around 80% complete but won’t be released until after the DirectX 9 beta. Apart from adding additional features like being able to change the size of the HUD in game as well as toggling the driver and steering wheel on/off, I’m now focusing on MP testing with a growing group of testers and adding various driving aids for those playing with gamepads etc. There are a few other major features/surprises which I won’t mention until the beta is released.

È stata pubblicata ieri su RaceDepartment una nuova intervista fatta a Stefano Casillo, riguardo ovviamente l'attesissimo Assetto Corsa.

How extensive will the damage systems be?

Mechanical damage is easy to implement and it will be there. The hard part is to find the right balance between damage model and playability. It’s quite easy to say “if you treat the gearbox poorly it will break” but finding the mathematical definition for “treat poorly” is difficult and there’s always the risk of wasting time on a feature that nobody will see (eg, damage that isn’t obvious) or end up with races full of DNFs if you if make it too extreme. As with most other features in Assetto Corsa, they will be in the public version only if we are 100% confident they work and they improve the experience.
