Il team Sector3 annuncia con una manciata di screenshots di anteprima il prossimo arrivo nel suo RaceRoom Racing Experience di un nuovo circuito scandinavo: ecco il famoso tracciato del Anderstorp Raceway, luogo di motorsport ricco di storia e recentemente riscoperto. Some of you might already have seen it mentioned in the last patch notes. Another Scandinavian track is headed your direction! Anderstorp is a long standing marker in Swedish racing history, this is where the greats of Formula One battled in the glory days and where speed kings of Scandinavia were crowned for decades. The track combines a very long straight with cambered sweepers and tight hairpin turns. It demands a good setup of the car and precise lines from the driver to master. The tight final corner combination is always an invitation for last lap heroics, at Anderstorp your win is not certain until the very final meter. The track will come in two variants: GP & South Layout

We plan to release a new patch for RaceRoom next week. Among other things you will get your hands on the FR US! The Formula RaceRoom US will become available next week! Are you ready to take this V6 675 HP Monster on the track? More info about the car on our forum: https://goo.gl/KrVvcG High res images on flickr.com/raceroom

Dopo il successo della KTM X-Bow stradale con relativo torneo eSport online, il team Sector3 annuncia l'arrivo per fine 2017 della nuova KTM X-Bow GT4, che vedete presentata nei dettagli ed immagini che seguono. Following the release of the KTM X-BOW RR we are glad to announce another new addition from the Austrian manufacturer: KTM X-BOW GT4 KTM and Reiter Engineering have jointly developed the KTM X-BOW GT4 according to the GT4 regulations.

Potete leggerla in inglese a questo link RD: Will you guys be moving Raceroom over to Unreal?CS: It kind of works in unison to be honest. We know with R3E the game engine is old in comparison to the competition, there is no doubt we are missing certain elements and eye candy the others have. We took the decision that Unreal is the way to go, we did some R&D early in the year and we setup SimBin, that's what they are going to work on. That's not going to happen overnight either. Eventually RaceRoom will move across to this new technology, but first and foremost it's GTR3. Then we look into what we can do with RaceRoom afterwards. I want to be 100% clear we are not ceasing work on our current development plan for RaceRoom.

Il team Sector3 ha appena rilasciato un nuovo aggiornamento per il suo RaceRoom Racing Experience. Oltre ai consueti bugfix e migliorie varie, il nuovo update ci mette a disposizione anche il nuovo circuito di Silverstone (in 4 configurazioni) e l'update per la fisica delle vetture DTM. Qui di seguito il changelog completo ed il trailer di lancio. 25-01-2017 What’s New (Summary) First pass of VR support Leaderboard divisions. Multiplayer Browser Revamp. Manual Pitstops in Get Real. AI Stress factor. All DTM seasons updated to latest physics. Silverstone and Stowe. Game: Added a first pass of support for OpenVR. Read more about it HERE. Fixed an issue where turning the virtual wheel in vehicle settings on/off would not apply in game until session restart. Tweaks to Memory usage of Instant Replays and changed so instant replays always request 300 seconds length. Memfiles are now written to disk when becoming too large. Player is now allowed to pit in non race sessions (to practice pitstops, change tires, refuel…). Before, the player would automatically be brought to garage menu after entering pitlane. Fixed issue with timing on single lap layouts (ie Nordschleife Tourist) when starting from garage in non race sessions. Fixed issue with best individual sector times being calculated incorrectly. Fixed a case where enabling Manual Depth of Field mode wouldn’t always lock the focus plane on the currently selected car Fixed AI pitting in last lap on certain occasions by adding precision to calculations for refuelling. Fixed incorrect stance for certain cars, fixed this for replays as well now. Updated the Fanatec SDK to version 2.2 Added support for Fanatec CSL and added a default profile. Moved the message area used for displaying current camera, chat messages etc. down a bit so they don't overlap with the text field that displays which leaderboard division the player is in. Fixed issue with mouse steering resetting to zero position when looking left/right in cockpit & hood cams. Fixed an issue with race position overlay sometimes missing entries if they get processed in the wrong order. Fixed an issue where player would see pit lane speed window when off track on certain areas. Fixed an issue in timing screen where multiple entries of the same driver would appear. Minor tweaks and fixes to protocol that communicates to backend and web to support the additional data in the MP browser. Fixed DQ on late penalties being treated as it was ON when it was OFF. The Pit menu and Pit In Now overlays should now be hidden when restarting a non race session. Fixed an issue where cars could remain ghosted after receiving a slow-down penalty Fixed a crash occuring when game attempted to save pit presets on certain occasions. Fixed a rendering issue with cars that would occur when changing visual preset from low to custom and changing shadows from off to lowest. Multiplayer: Fixed issue with the dedicated server writing a backend log file in the wrong folder when too many liveries were allowed on the server. Fixed an issue in timing screen where multiple entries of the same driver would appear. Sounds, Cameras, Physics & AI: Introduced “Stress factor” for AI. AI’s can now be pushed into making mistakes when under pressure. Likelihood of those mistakes increases from being chased and from collisions. Improved AI awareness of opponents on their sides. When two AI’s are side by side reaching a braking point, one will brake 3% earlier and the other 2% later, depending on longitudinal position and relative speeds Increased awareness for AI when under blue flag and upon leaving pitlane for incoming traffic Punctures : occurrence of tire punctures are now tied to wheel rotation speed rather than vehicle speed. Reduced the bouncing of certain cars upon spawning in their garage location. Fixed a case that would cause 4WD cars to run with differentials wide open Fixed a case where DRS could disengage when driving over bumps Audi TT Cup and TT RS VLN : Added rear downforce to AI cars to keep them more stable in high speed weight transfers where they are often caught losing control. Tweaked AI versus players collisions to be more fair to the player DTM : Ported 2016 physics and sounds to all past seasons of the DTM. GTR 3 : AI update, Improved standing starts for all cars, AI versus player collisions tweak to be more fair to the player Mercedes C63 DTM 2016 : Fixed the noisy suspensions and increased engine volume Raceroom FR3 : updated sounds RedBull Ring GP : Cut rules update for more strict rules Art: Chang: Adjusted IBL to match the new light setting Zandvoort : fixed missing terrain, fixed missing generics, fixed terrain normals, redone sets for generics/audience, swapped 2d audience with latest models, fixed underpass shadow on track Alpina B6 : Fixed incorrect windscreen banners in certain liveries. Portal & Backend: Revamped Multiplayer Browser. Implemented Leaderboard Divisions. Leaderboards with over 100 entries will now divide into divisions. Added thumbnail support to MP Browser. Dedi admins can now upload their custom image to represent their servers (PS: Servers with offensive images will be removed.) Fixed some scrolling issues in certain sections of portal. Fixed an issue where clicking the race button in MP browser while it is greyed out would lock the game

Dopo avercela presentata nei giorni scorsi, il team Sector 3 rilascia oggi per il suo RaceRoom Racing Experience l'impegnativa e divertente KTM X-Bow RR, che vedete protagonista dei video e screens che seguono. Con il rilascio della vettura, viene anche lanciato un torneo online denominato eSport Trophy, che prevede come premio finale uno spettacolare track day con l'auto reale sul circuito del Red Bull Ring! The KTM X-BOW is now available ➤http://bit.ly/KTM_XBow_RR Enter the KTM X-Bow eSport Trophy ➤http://bit.ly/KTM_X-Bow_eSport_Trophy And win a track day in the real car at the Red Bull Ring! KTM X-Bow RR While you may already be familiar with the KTM X-Bow R, the "RR" makes its simracing debut in RaceRoom. Compared to its little sister the X-Bow R, the RR is recognizable at first glance thanks to its additional aerodynamic parts. Then once you get in, you realize that all the features of the road-legal version have been removed, in order to reduce the weight. Also the monocoque is made completely of composite carbon fibre material. The overall result is a race machine weighing just under 800kg equipped with an Audi 2.0 TFSI delivering 360bhp! Car Data:​ Mid-engine open two seater Carbon composite monocoque Audi 2.0 TFSI. Turbo-charged 4-cylinder. 360hp @ 6800rpm 500Nm @ 3600 rpm 6 speed manual Redline @ 7500rpm Shiftpoint @ 6800-7000rpm 40 liter fuel cell 790kg (dry weight) 37/63 weight distribution 250 kg+ downforce at 200 kph 200/610-17 & 240/640-18 slicks Steering defaults are 792 degrees of rotation with a 25 degrees steerlock We've had the pleasure to work on this car with an overwhelming amount of data provided by KTM that allowed @Karsten Borchers to create a highly accurate model of the car while also bringing more insight on suspension models and tyres that will benefit future productions. Here are some notes shared by Karsten to the betatesters during development: Karsten Borchers said: More work went into the Suspension Model, as we have added additional support for the very specific chassis of the X-Bow. 30 liveries will be available for the KTM X-Bow RR, giving you a good taste of the X-Bow Battle, KTM's own one-make Series. ​RaceRoom and KTM are very proud to break new ground, and set you up with the chance to win a unique and exclusive motorsport experience. Win the KTM X-Bow #eSport Trophy, and you'll be the guest of #KTM in Austria, all expenses paid. Thats a nice trip in itself, but the kicker is that your final destination is the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg where you will be gifted with a full track day in the awesome KTM X-Bow. There are very special prizes for the Trophy podium finishers AND for randomly picked entries. You do not have to be the fastest racer out there to walk away with a handsome reward.

Con un trailer ed alcuni screens di anteprima, il team Sector3 annuncia l'imminente arrivo per il suo RaceRoom Racing Experience della nuova monoposto denominata Formula RaceRoom 2. La vettura, che come si nota dalle immagini, non è una Formula 1, viene definita semplicemente "da alto carico aerodinamico e semplice da gestire anche ad elevata velocità". Many of you have been asking for it, and soon you will be able to take the first Openwheeler out on track in R3E! Quite a lot of work went into this car as it features the new driver model as well as animated suspension and of course the new physics approach, which makes it a lot of fun on track. The FR2 is a high downforce vehicle, capable of generating up to 1.7 ton of pressure at full speed. This makes it a very precise, very fast and quite easy car to race at high speeds, but it also makes it a challenge for anyone to handle right at the limit. Smooth, precise and determined is how to bring this one to the top of the leaderboards. With 24 open wheel racers built to the same spec, it is all down to the driver in this car class. There are no shortcuts or magic tricks to podium finishes in the Formula RaceRoom 2, just skill, practise and talent. By purchasing the Formula RaceRoom 2 pack you get a full grid of 22 unique liveries to make any FR2 race a spectacle. The FR 2 will be released very soon! fonte Sector3 forum This post has been promoted to an article
