iRacing Informationsthread

Das beste an dem Video - man achte auf den Aspahlt
Ab nächster Woche geht es ab

Daytona Protoype, ist wahrscheinlich in etwa so ähnlich wie Le Mans Prototype, aber sicher nicht so komplex Wird in echt auch in der IMSA gefahren, deshalb eigentlich recht passend, dass er neu in die Serie kommt.

Ach so, und von der Pace her soll der etwa auf HPD Niveau sein meine ich gelesen zu haben, also in etwa LMP 2

Jetzt ist es offiziell

Zitat

iRacing is changing the racing game industry. Again. Starting
with the release of the Season 4 build next week, all of iRacing's 70+
race circuits will incorporate our new dynamic race track feature.
In other words, surfaces of iRacing’s tracks will constantly evolve
during the course of races based on factors like changing weather
conditions and the amount of virtual rubber laid down by the
competitors.

“Although iRacing has always had groundbreaking, accurate laser scanned
tracks, they have not been living, breathing objects like ‘real world’
tracks. Those days are now gone,” says Steve Myers,
Executive Vice President and Executive Producer at iRacing.com. “Now
the racing groove you see on the track will be the actual virtual rubber
that is on the racing surface. And as a race progresses, the grip
level of every inch of the track will evolve dynamically based on the
weather and the actions of the drivers, cars and tires – exactly like
tracks in real world racing.”

Max und ich fahren in 5 min Street Stock C in Charlotte, dafür ist das schon lange ersehnt

Gibt es derzeit einen aktiven Promo Code 3 Monate zum Preis von einem? Kumpel will wohl mal reinschauen.

vor paar tagen hat dustin einen gehabt, bei dem wohl die 3 monate kostenlos sind:
PR-BLANCPAIN2015

hat geklappt! danke frank und dustin.

Hier der Changelog zum Season 4 Build, welches am Dienstag ab 16 Uhr verfügbar sein wird.

"Here are the release notes for the upcoming new season's build which is scheduled for deployment on Tuesday next week.

Website:

- The Race Panel now is more descriptive about where it is registering and sending users in official sessions, as well as more aware of registration status after a session has ended.

- Cars/Tracks/Tech Tracks pages have been simplified, and are now more of a storefront and informational page.

- Updated the License indicator in the global template to show more information.

- Added a Team Series Stats page to show team rankings in official team series.

- Added tooltips to describe Track Conditions in official series & results.

- Added messaging when setting up a hosted session when only one driver slot is made available.

- Added the ability to set & preview custom Track Conditions (settings for the new Dynamic Track feature) in hosted sessions, as well as test mode.

- Fixed some scenarios where the website would occasionally think that members could register for events outside of their license level.

- Modified the members site to help Windows 10 + Edge users get iRacing running.

- Expected time for a session to start should now properly be passed into a "Test on Track" session, so users get an alert when their session will begin.

- Added indicators in the race panel and series sessions pages to show race week cut overs that indicates how the sessions will change (track, race week, etc).

- Fixed the join action in some open practice sessions in the What's Hot page.

- Added a preference that remembers it's state in leagues->show only my leagues.

- The Schedule PDF has added displaying more of the race setup options, and also a clickable Table of Contents to find sections or series more easily.

Simulation:

Splitting Multi-car-class Fields

The prior algorithm for forming splits for multi-class sessions attempted to ensure that as many splits as possible would be multi-class, down to some minimum number of drivers in each class within a split. This made for some not-so-great racing for drivers in classes where their split had this minimum number of drivers.

With this season's build, we have implemented a new split-forming algorithm for multi-class sessions that instead attempts to ensure that all car classes are packed relatively evenly into the higher-rated splits, potentially at the expense of the lower-rated splits being devoid of one or more car classes.

The algorithm for choosing the overall field size for each of the splits is unchanged - each of the higher-rated splits formed for a session will have the same overall number of teams, with the lower-rated splits potentially having one less team. Since the higher-rated splits might "consume" all the teams in one or more of the less-used car classes, and since the lower-rated splits will still have the same overall number of teams, the lower-rated splits could thus have more teams in each of their car classes than the higher-rated splits have in those same car classes.

Session Splits

We have added a new method by which sessions get split into run-groups. The earlier method typically chooses the "best" race server farm (US, Sydney, Amsterdam) based on the average ping time of all the registrants to the farms, and then splits the teams into run-groups based on iRating. The new method splits the teams into run-groups based on iRating, and then chooses the best farm for each run-group.

Additionally, the new method tries to avoid assigning the group onto a farm if any of the drivers in the group would generally prefer to avoid that farm. In practice this will mean that if anyone in the run group prefers the Sydney farm, and anyone else in the run-group prefers the Amsterdam farm, the run-group will be assigned to the US server farm.

Dynamic Track

- The track surface is now dynamic, and models the changes in track rubber, marbles, and temperature. Track rubber is built up under the tires in rough proportion to how hard they are working. Tires generate marbles, and these can accumulate on tires and be thrown off and redistributed on the track. Temperature is variable across the track and is influenced by weather, the position of the sun in the sky, the surface angle of the track, albedo (color), track rubber, shadows, and interaction with cars.

- These variable aspects of the track affect the level and characteristics of tire grip available, and the wear rate. Generally, a rubbered-in but cool track free of marbles will offer the most grip.

- Initial track conditions can be specified for testing and private hosting sessions. The amount of running activity on the track prior to the session can be specified as a percentage, or left to be determined automatically based on the session type. The percent usage amount determines the level of track rubber and marbles at session start. In a multi-session event, each session can be specified individually to simulate changes to the track between sessions due to additional running or from an overnight rain, or a session may be designated to follow immediately and inherit the track state from the previous session. Marbles can be cleaned off the racing surface prior to the session, and also during yellow flags on ovals, or they can be left undisturbed.

Borderless Window Support

- The sim can now be run in windowed mode without a border or title bar. There is a new option on the auto-config dialog and a new graphics option to disable the border. Like the full screen toggle in options, the border configuration does not take effect until the sim is restarted.

Replay

- Add an app.ini setting [Replay] maxFramesToSearchPerUpdate=2048 setting to control how much tape is searched per update during a long search.

Telemetry

- Add support for fast repair to telemetry pit script commands.

- Log pending pit service request to telemetry as "PitSvXXX". PitSvFlags is a bitfield defines in irsdk_defines.h as irsdk_PitSvFlags and covers all the check boxes.

- Log live weather to telemetry.

- Log the driver's fuel tank size to session string as "DriverCarFuelMaxLtr". Log the fuel restriction percent (if any) to session string as "DriverCarMaxFuelPct". Multiplying both together will give you the true fuel limit for this session.

- Renamed "CarClassMaxFuel" to "CarClassMaxFuelPct" to better reflect the fact that it is a percent of the tank that you are allowed to use.

- Dump information about the current setup to the session string
DriverInfo:
DriverSetupName: path
DriverSetupIsModified: bool
DriverSetupLoadTypeName: [invalid|user|iracing|baseline|current|default|fixed|shared]
DriverSetupPassedTech: bool

- Fix a bug where not all cars had a properly set carClassColor in a mixed class race.

Keyboard Macros

- Added a #fr fast repair macro, to check the fast repair box.

- Add 'invert' flag to pit chat macros so prepending - to front of command will unset it, i.e. -lf will uncheck the left front tire, also -clear will check all options.

Audio

- Turn off ducking of audio when Windows detects a phone call. Windows often confuses our voice chat as a call and kills the engine sounds.

Controls

- When we detect a joystick was added or removed, attempt to identify what controller was changed and only reinitialize that device. Previously we reinitialized all devices and this could lead to a momentary loss of steering control if your button box loss connection to the sim. You can revert to the old behavior where all devices are reinitialized every time a device is plugged in by setting app.ini [Force Feedback] initOnlyNewDevices=0.

- Added new keyboard backlight support for Logitech G910 keyboards. Now we dynamically highlight keys that have some function assigned to them, and color them by function. In addition the F keys act as a shift indicator/pit speed indicator if you are in your car.

- Removed code that would set the backlight on older Logitech keyboards and mice to try and replicate a shift indicator.

- Added support for LED lights in the new Logitech G29 wheel.

- The minimum threshold to detect motion when calibrating can be adjusted by the app.ini switch initialMoveThreshold. This can be used to get devices with very small ranges of travel to be detected by iRacing.

New Tire Model

- v6 tires now include a term in the lateral stiffness calculations that was missing in the NTM previously (including the v1-5 tires). All prior cars with v6 tires from last season have been revised to suit, and many more cars have been upgrade to v6 tires.

Black Boxes

- In the F1 black box, don't show the same car ahead and behind you, if only one other car on track, or only one other car in your class.

- In the F3 black box, sort cars into position based on class, if no position is currently known for the car.

- Allow the virtual mirror field of view to be adjusted from the F9 black box.

Driver Aids

- The auto-blip shift aid now uses the new drivetrain physics model, instead of falling back to our ancient old drivetrain model. This significantly improves how smoothly the cars shift when using the auto-blip aid.

- Allow H-pattern gearboxes to be downshifted into neutral at speed when using sequential shifting controls.

Towing

- When someone is disconnected from the server via a connection failure, we now compute the tow from when we last saw them on track, instead of when the connection finally timed out.

Borderless window!
wohoooo!

Du kannst es im Fenstermodus spielen und siehst keine Ränder oder oben die Fensterleiste. Für welche mit mehreren Monitoren unerlässlich, sonst kannst du deinen Zweitmonitor nicht bedienen. Im Grunde ging es aber auch schon vorher, man musste nur die Koordinaten in der app.ini Datei anpassen, so haben Luke & ich das bis jetzt immer gemacht

app.ini stinkt!

Seit heute läuft übrigens Woche 13, das bedeutet, dass der Großteil aller Serien pausiert, mit Ausnahme einer handvoll Oval Serien die nicht nach dem 12 Wochen Rythmus laufen sondern ein halbes Jahr lang.
Morgen um 16 Uhr ist dann auch das Update da mit allen genannten Features.

Zur Woche 13 Madness gehören sehr coole Serien, wie V8 im Oval, Oval Karren auf Road Kursen und andere verrückte Sachen wie Figure 8. Sind natürlich alles inoffzielle Rennen also beinflussen iRating oder Safety Rating nicht.
Wer noch was für iR oder SR tun will kann dies im Mazda Cup oder Street Stock tun. Dort gibt es auch in W13 offzielle Rennen, wo täglich die Strecke wechselt. Ich glaube am Montag ist dann Promotion Day, dort werden dann alle unter 2,0 abgestuft und alle über 3,0 hochgestuft (sofern die MPR erfüllt sind), nur als Info
