Quote

iRACING UI:

Paint Shop

• A download link for the Helmet pattern has been added.
• A download link for the Suit pattern has been added.
• Resolved an issue where Team Paints were being temporarily applied to the same car for the Member’s personal paint scheme.

Leagues

• Resolved an issue where registering for a Team Session from the League Sessions page was not allowing the user to select a team and register.

AI Racing

• For AI News, resolved an issue where certain race scenarios could potentially cause an error in rendering.
• Broadcasting
• Resolved an issue where a user that has special roles, such as a Broadcaster or Race Official, was getting registered incorrectly as Spectators for a League session.

SIMULATION:

Race Servers

• Fixed an issue where the Race Server could crash if it should somehow get into a situation where it is being asked to allow someone into the Session when they have not been assigned a pit stall.
• There was an issue where in a Heat Racing Event, drivers that had not connected to the Session during the Open Practice prior to the Qualify Session were not being put into the Qualify Session's "Starting Grid". This led to them not being assigned a pit stall, which then crashed the Race Server when they tried to get in their car.

AI Racing

• Fixed an issue that would cause the Simulation to crash when loading the SCCA Spec Racer Ford at an Oval track.
• Fixed an issue which could cause erratic AI driving on pace laps, sometimes resulting in spin-outs or off-track excursions.

Visual Effects

• Smoke color algorithm has been adjusted.
• Fixed an issue where some backfire effects were firing in the sky instead of from exhaust pipes.

Environmental Audio

PA announcements from Connery Maddick have been added to the following tracks:

• Brands Hatch Circuit
• Circuit of the Americas
• Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya
• Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
• Circuit Park Zandvoort
• Circuit Zolder
• Donington Park Racing Circuit
• Road America
• Sebring International Raceway
• Sonoma Raceway
• Suzuka International Racing Course
• Australian-specific soundscape has been updated.

Crowd sounds are now disabled when Crowd Detail setting is on LOW.

This is a temporary fix for anyone experiencing frame-rate issues with the new environmental audio. A permanent solution remains in the works.

Replay

• Fixed an issue where the Simulation could crash if a user attempted to rewind after the event was complete.

Telemetry

• The disk telemetry writer now flushes the disk telemetry immediately to disk in Test Drive and Practice Sessions, and it now reverts to the old method of opening .ibt files in exclusive access mode while writing to disk.

CARS:

• Auto Club Speedway setups have been updated.

Dallara P217

• Rear suspension has been modified.
• Rear torsion bar rates have been adjusted.
• Maximum allowable rear ride height has been tightened to reduce the car's tendency to bounce.
