Have fun out on the track!

Qui di seguito potete leggere il lunghissimo changelog di tutte le migliorie e novità presenti nella nuova build 2015 season 3 di iRacing. Fra le novità più interessanti, troviamo il nuovo tracciato Five Flags Speedway, la Aston Martin DB9 GT1 e la Version 6 del già noto modello fisico dei pneumatici. The 2015 Season 3 build is here and it features one of America’s legendary short tracks and one of sports car racing’s most iconic nameplates as well as Version 6 of the tire model and a new chassis torsion model, some cool new split time and “session joining” features along with updates in performance, aerodynamics and collision models to a variety of cars. Headlining the new features are Five Flags Speedway and the Aston Martin DB9 GT1. Located near Pensacola, FL half-mile Five Flags Speedway has seen some of America’s best short track racing since 1953 and hosts the legendary Snowball Derby every December, while the Le Mans-winning Aston Martin DB9 GT1 is just the thing to give the Corvette C6.R some competition to see which is king of iRacing’s GT1 hill. Like most of the road course cars, the Aston Martin will be equipped with the Version 6 tire model which incorporates a more accurate computation of the tires’ stiffness and thus, will respond accurately to changes in tire pressure. As well, several cars have been updated to include the new chassis torsion model that reflects the twisting effect of torques and other forces applied to a chassis in competition. Additionally, a number of cars including the BMW, Corvette, Ford GT, McLaren, the NASCAR Sprint Cup, XFinity and Camping World trucks incorporate revised performance, aerodynamics, drafting and collision models. We’ve improved the process of joining – and re-joining – sessions, and also added an option that enables you to compare your split times with those of other drivers and cars, including the ghost car (which now displays its brake lights). We have also begun the process of converting to physically based rendering (PBR) shaders to enable us to provide more accurate-appearing looking cars and tracks. In this release the new Five Flags Speedway track uses the new PBR shaders, as do the new Aston Martin DBR9 GT1, Chevrolet Corvette C6.R GT1 and Legends Ford '34 Coupe. The build includes a host of new live telemetry outputs including cars position by class and driver, enhanced capabilities for league/sessions administrators, support for Logitech's ARX interface, improvements to set-up sharing and calculation of race points along with a feature showing the amount of time remaining to clear the gained time/cutting/slow down message. Full Changelog: Website: – Ultimate Pay is no longer available as a payment method. – All viewable future sessions are only viewable up to a specific view date range. – Fixed a bug where uploading setups for a fixed Hosted Session with specific foreign characters could interfere with parsing. – Fixed the Firefox no-data bug. – Added an “Accept” button to the league ignored requests page to allow the admins to “unignore” and accept the request. – When clicking “I’m still here” on the hosted sessions page after the timeout, the sessions will refresh properly. – Opting out of league PMs and Emails now works as intended. – Making edits to a team that hasn’t been assigned a team ID should now properly fully create the team. – A button to launch the graphics config has been added to the settings panel. – Fixed a link where IE users were having trouble when revoking team invites. – Fixed a bug where selecting to drive certain cars in a team multi-car hosted session could cause errors. – Popular races now have an additional filter to show sessions using only the content that the user owns. – The Cars, Tracks, and Tech Tracks pages are redone with filters. – Fixed a bug where, under specific conditions, the race planner could bug out and not show sessions. Registering for Race sessions will place you into an Open Practice while waiting – For many series, if you register for a Race session more than a couple minutes prior to the session’s scheduled start time, you will be automatically placed into an Open Practice session. This way you can get onto track, instead of waiting for the Race session to launch. Note that the splits for your Race session will not yet have been formed. So there’s no guarantee that the other drivers you see in your Open Practice will be in your split. In fact, some of the drivers in the Open Practice might have registered for it directly, and won’t be transferring to your Race session at all. The simulation will notify you when your Race session is ready, and present a green [Race!] button on the Session screen. Clicking on this button will disconnect you from the Open Practice session, and connect you to your Race session. Only then can you tell with whom you have been grouped. If you do not click on the [Race!] button, the simulation will automatically switch you over to your Race session shortly prior to when you must grid your car for the race, or sooner if the Race session also has an embedded Qualify session. Simulation: Updater – When you run the iRacingUpdater it will ask you to install the Microsoft Visual C redistributions for x86 and x64, if you don’t already have them installed on your computer. Auto-Config – Added a drop-down to the auto-config dialog to choose which display adapter to use. It attempts to recommend NVidia/AMD cards over Intel to help with laptops. Networking – Change how the simulation configures its network connection to the race server. This might reduce the possibility of “error occurred on network device” messages, and disconnections from the race server. Race Points Given Field Size – We improved the calculation of race points awarded so small field sizes don’t hand out too many championship points. This also reduces the advantage of high iRating fields in awarding championship points. Logitech ARX – We now support Logitech’s ARX interface. ARX is a simple communication layer provided by Logitech that allows communication between an application on the PC and your Android or iOS based device. It basically allows us to act as a web server sending pages to your phone, along with a simple bidirectional communication channel so we can push live data to the phone and receive inputs back. For further information and details on how to use or create something for ARX, please go to this forum thread: http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3316230.page Graphics – Improved frame rates with a more dynamic adjustment of detail levels when many cars are on screen. – We are beginning to convert some of our cars and tracks to using physically based rendering (PBR) shaders to give more accurate looking cars and tracks. In this release the new Five Flags Speedway track uses these new shaders, as do the new Aston Martin DBR9 GT1, and the updated Chevrolet Corvette C6.R GT1 and updated Legends Ford ’34 Coupe. Race Control – Show the driver the amount of time they still have to yield in order to clear their “gained time by shortcutting, slow-down” furled black flag. – Fixed a bug where sometimes incident report messages would incorrectly say there is a limit of 17 incidents. – During qualifying at medium, long and superspeedway ovals, doing a burnout no longer gives an advantage. Split Times – Add in an option to load split time files from other drivers and cars for you to compare yourself against. – The ghost car now lights up the brake lights. UI – Added the C (CPU) meter to the L/Q/S/P group on the Session screen. The CPU meter is only displayed if you have manually enabled it in the “XXX Dev Use Only” section of app.ini. Triple Screen – Fixed a bug where headlights could draw with strange artifacting problems when the field of view is greater than 170 degrees. – Fixed a bug that broke mouse driving when using triple screens. Telemetry – New live telemetry outputs CarsPosition, CarsClassPosition, PlayerCarPosition, PlayerCarClassPosition, CarIdxPosition, CarIdxClassPosition, CarIdxTime, LapLastNLapSeq, LapLastNLapTime, LapBestNLapLap, LapBestNLapTime, DCLapStatus, DCDriversSoFar. Sharing Setups – When you share a setup from the Garage, all different types of car that should be able to load your setup can now actually see and load your setup (for instance, the two V8 Supercars, or the NASCARs). New Tire Model – Dave has a new model of the tire carcass that does a much more accurate computation of the tire’s stiffnesses. Amongst other things tires now respond much more correctly to tire pressure changes. This is what is called a “Version 6″ tire. Most of our road course cars have been updated with this. Chassis Torsion – We can now model the fact that a car’s chassis can twist due to forces and torques acting on the car. But only a few of our cars have been updated with this so far. Weather – Reduced wild wind direction swings. Cars: – Added new sponsor logos for Pep Boys, People Against Distracted Driving (PADD), iAnalyze Racing, and Max Papis Innovations (MPI). – Revised Club Scandinavia logo.

Come promesso a inizio settimana, il team di iRacing ha rilasciato oggi la nuova build della Season 3 del 2014 per il simulatore americano. Oltre alla consueta lunga lista di bugfix e migliorie (compreso il modello delle gomme), che trovate qui sotto, le due principali novità di questa release sono i due nuovi circuiti di Phoenix International Raceway, aggiornato al 2012 e il Donington Park Racing Circuit in due configurazioni, GP e National. Website: Leagues - Enhanced League and Tournament Gridding Options: · There is now a new grid algorithm called "Top N Inverted". If you select this and click the "Apply Grid Now" button you will be prompted to enter the number of drivers to invert. Previously you were limited to inverting the top 8 or top 10 drivers. · There is now an option to change a driver's grid position by N positions in either direction. This is intended to make it easier to apply grid penalties. From the "Race Grid Setup" area of the grid builder you can right-click on any driver to access a new popup menu that includes an option to "change grid position". This opens a dialog box where you can enter a number of positions to move the driver. Positive numbers will move the driver towards the pole and negative numbers will move the driver towards the back of the grid. - Added a new interface for editing league member nicknames. Race Panel - Sorting of series has been fixed in the Race Panel pick list where they may have been out of order or miscounted. - The Select list now lists series based on MPR. Other - Updated MPR Images and added tooltips. - MPR images are now hidden for Class A License and above. - Spectator pages now have smarter sorting of what's available. - Layering of elements in the main site has been adjusted to fix some display issues. Simulation: Tires - There are no cars left using the version 4 NTM (New Tire Model). All the cars are on version 5 except the Silver Crown and Sprint Car which are both still using the old tire model. - The tire model has an improved solver to find the amount of tread yaw under dynamic conditions (i.e. non-equilibrium). This has significantly improved transient behavior and tire response to changing loads. - The modeling of tread wear depth and its effects has been improved. There is now more tread wear on the softer road compounds. - There is a preliminary model for advancing the tread rubber cure as the rubber gets hot; this gives very reasonable lap time fall off for cars over the course of a race. This model is not enabled on all the cars yet, as there hasn't been time for testing all the cars, but it is on all the high level oval cars and most of the faster road course cars. User Interface - Right clicking on any visible driver name or driver helmet will bring up a context menu of actions that can be applied to that driver. Sound - Disable using the recently added limiter layer sounds during ignition cut up shifts. iRacing Telemetry API - Output RadioTransmitRadioIdx and RadioTransmitFrequencyIdx in addition to RadioTransmitCarIdx. - Output ClassPosition in QualifyResultsInfo section to match ResultsPositions. - Output CarClassColor. - Output car, suit, helmet paint info. - Properly escape more strings in the YAML session string. - Properly show pressure in telemetry when pressure based brake bias is used. - Fix telemetry for steering angle on remote cars. Cameras - The driving camera can now be moved down 4" instead of just 2". Backfires - Many cars will now spit out backfire flames when appropriate. Some cars backfire when off throttle, depending on their engine tuning. Others will backfire if you hit the rev limiter or upshift if their engine tuning implements these features via an ignition cut (which passes unburned fuel through to the exhaust). And some of our cars don't make flames at all, typically the lower level cars. The visual effect and the sound effect of backfires are not synchronized at this time. Also, opponent cars do not make backfires during upshifts at this time, only off throttle backfires. Wind - Reduce the strength of the wind applying to cars to 1/3, so even if the wind says 30mph, it will only affect the car at 10mph. This is to account for ground turbulence and non-wind transparency of solid objects reducing the effective wind strength at ground level. Grime - Cars will now accumulate grime as a race progresses. The amount is based upon both time and circumstances of the race. This new grime effect causes a dulling of the car, which combines with the dirt accumulation effect which was added previously. Paint kit - L.A. Racing, SimCraft, and diysim.com logos added. - Wheel color support added to the Mazda MX5, Skip Barber Formula 2000, Legends Ford '34 Coupe, and Street Stock. Scenic Cameras - Half of the tracks had their scenic cameras improved (or added if missing) in the previous season's update. This update completes that work, with all tracks addressed. Cars: Chevrolet Camaro Class B - Now available! The physics are identical to the other two Class B cars, and all 3 cars can load each others setups.
