Game:

Reworked the Yellow Flag code logic to address all cases where penalties would wrongfully be handed out.

Fixed various issues with Data Displays

Fixed a crash occurring on some machines with specific sound systems. As a result, all sound profiles are now listed in the Sound Settings menu instead of attempting to auto-detect.

Fixed an issue where the player could get stuck when accessing the Timing screen right at the moment the qualifying session ends and game switches to race session.

Fixed an issue with external links to auto-start the game and join a specific multiplayer server when the livery ID wasn’t passed in the link.

Fixed an issue where “Session Freeze” setting wasn’t passed to the dedicated server.

Fixed a case where certain track cuts would wrongfully result in instantaneous DQ for the player (ie: cutting T1 of Anderstorp onto the pitlane exit path)

Fixed an issue where dedicated server could sometimes remain stuck in race session

Fixed an issue where DNF players could sometimes show up in the race results .json file with their logged laps listed twice.

VR:

Brought back the possibility to set the resolution using a startup argument.

Made it so that the SteamVR Supersampling setting will be used for the resolution only if the user doesn't use a startup argument for setting the resolution.


Sounds, Cameras, Physics & AI:

Updated the Audi TT cup handling after feedback from Philip Ellis. More biting in the front at turn in, and looser rear under braking.

Fixed a glitch where code would report some RPM when ignition was on but engine wasn’t running.

Fixed an issue where code would briefly lock up all four wheels in certain cars when control is handed from AI to player (ie: rolling & leaderboard starts)

Art:

Nürburgring & Nordschleife: updated to 2017 visuals after our visit to the 24H earlier this year. Main pitwall logos, old pitwall color, BMW bridge, BMW sign at Brünnchen, T13 pitwall, NGK chicane logo, carousel banner, armco flags, graffitis, new fencing.

Paul Ricard : fixed some floating elements after the camber changes in last patch.

Zandvoort : Updated S/F gate visuals to current logo of the track.

New content:

BMW M235i Racing


Game:

Lowered default minimum force setting for Thrustmaster wheels.
Fixed Slow Down penalty calculations on turbocharged cars
Fixed cut detection logic on tracks with pitlane close to the track like Laguna Seca where simple cuts would result in disproportionate penalties.

Fixed some data displays showing a ticker counting up to 0 at race starts.

Added a button to view the leaderboards upon finishing a hillclimb run so we could get rid of the non elegant solution of showing the position bar to inform the player of his position.
Changed the logic for the “Restart” button in leaderboards & competitions so it no longer purges your best lap and can still show the live time diff to your ghost on the data display.
Fixed a message wrongly stating the next lap would be invalidated in Hillclimb runs.
Fixed an issue where the HUD elements would sometimes be moved when coming back from an instant replay.
Fixed a crash occuring sometimes when cycling through cameras in the pitlane.

Fixed the reported issue with gearbox final drive setting always being 0 upon entering tracks in amateur or novice mode.

12-09-2017

Highlights of this update:

Imola is now available
Warmup sessions are now an option on dedicated servers
Tire compounds for Formula RaceRoom X-17 and U.S.

Game:

Reduced Join Lags in multiplayer
Fixed car-to-car collisions that could sometimes have “magnetic” effects of either repulsion or attraction.
Results files generated by the dedicated server now include car class information and results per class.
Added warmup option to dedicated servers. When multiple race sessions are enabled, a warmup will be taking place before each of them.
Sessions such as free practice, leaderboard challenge, competitions, “try before you buy” are now set to last much longer than anyone could reasonably have a need for (24 hours)
Decision to inflict Stop and Go and Drive Through penalties is now more lenient.
Slow Down penalties will no longer increase once the player has triggered the automatic slow down of his car.
Wall Riding prevention no longer triggers if player is applying pressure on the brakes at the moment of impact.
Graphic options : Car reflections can now be set to Low, Medium or High. High has smoother moving reflections, at the price of some performance.
Improved AI decision making in pitstops when it comes to tire wear and changing tires.
Cases like Hillclimb Icons where there are only 2 liveries in total no longer result in AI all picking the same car.
Custom Championship default naming now includes the car class name instead of just the date and time.
Resetting the car on the track now takes the raceline in consideration to avoid placing a car right on the ideal line.
Added variables for tire compounds in shared memory.
Made the “near pitlane” speed overlay warning only show up if player has requested a pitstop. Should prevent accidental occurrences on tracks where the pitlane entry is close to the ideal raceline (ie Salzburgring).
Added a default profile for Fanatec 2.5 wheelbase.

Fixed a short freeze of the game that was occuring when setting a faster lap in time attack modes.
Fixed a typo in a driver name “Roberto Ravaglia” (DTM 92)

Fixed an issue where the game would sometimes load the low detailed version of the cockpit on top of the high detailed version.

Hallo Leute

Nach zwei Wochen 'intensivem Nachfragen' im R3E Forum habe ich endlich Antworten bekommen.
Zuallererst wird wohl in einem der nächsten Updates ein Reputationssystem implementiert werden.

Darüber hinaus wurde von J-F bestätigt, daß folgende Dinge auf der ToDo-Liste von S3.Studios stehen:
-In-Game-Chat
-Session- und Kick-Voting
-Zusatzgewichte
-Adminrechte auf den Servern (kick/ban, session restart usw)
Es ist aber noch nicht abzusehen, wann diese Dinge kommen werden.
Hauptsache, sie kommen, oder ?

Moinsen - schön zu lesen - besonders mit dem In Game Chat und Sessionvoting, Zusatzgewichte (krieg ich eh nie rein )
Schön auch das du es in meiner Landessprache gepostet hast und nicht in Englisch. Nebenbei bemerkt fände ich es prima, grundsätzlich alles in deutsch zu posten. Oder ist die Amtssprache hier im Forum nun "englisch" geworden? Nicht jeder der hier liest ist der englischen Sprache (besonders dem technischen Englisch) mächtig. Die zahllosen Updatehinweise in englisch sind doll, sind allerdings auch im Sector Forum so nachlesen.

Was aber nicht vorhanden ist, ist eine deutsche Fassung der Updateerläuterungen oder sonstigen Hinweise ( sog. Alleinstellungsmerkmal)

VG

Damage system - Fixed a case where the point of impact would not translate properly to the visual damage (for example formula cars were hard to damage visually)
Damage system - Fixed an issue where car deformations could sometimes switch on and off when going backwards in a replay
Damage system - Prevented detachable parts of the cars from detaching when mechanical damage is disabled (to prevent loss of downforce after losing a wing)

AI - No longer ignoring other cars at the end of race sessions
AI - More respect for track limits during rolling start procedures
AI - Shouldn’t be caught slowing down for cars exiting pitlane anymore
Grip level in Practice sessions has been increased.
All cars now have reworked gearshift volumes and reverb effects.
Fixed a case where gearshift sounds were missing when driving with AI’s.
GTR3 Car class - Updated physics and tire model
