Build Notes

Simulation – In the garage, the [Apply] button must now be used for all setup changes. This ensures that tech inspection is performed in a more consistent manner, regardless of what specific setup items are altered, or the order in which they are altered. This greatly reduces the possibility of editing a setup in a…

Williams FW31 – Updated with the latest version 5 tire model, along with new setups. Simulation – Fixed a bug that could cause the simulation to crash when loading a setup. – Fixed an issue where setup notes might become incorrect when cancelling setup changes or loading a new setup. – Fixed a bug where…

Simulation – Support for the Oculus Rift has been put back in. – Fixed an issue with the garage physics that greatly reduces the amount of jitter that can occur on some cars. – Fixed an issue in the garage where it was improperly performing an automatic [Apply]. – Improved the efficiency of some data…

Website: Leagues Page Members – League admins can assign members a nick name – League admins can assign members a car number League Info – League admins can tag their leagues with keywords and other pre-set filter options under the Set League Filters button. This information allows members to find leagues through filtering and is…

Kansas Speedway – Now available! Teams – Once a session has launched, you are not allowed to change your registration to the session, with but one exception: you are allowed to initially register for a session as a spectator, then withdraw from the session, then re-register for the session as a driver or a crew…

Graphics – The simulator now loads faster due to programmable shader loading optimizations. – Fixed a memory leak which may have been causing crashes in on-line events containing many cars with custom paint. The simulator also now limits the largest custom paint texture that it will attempt to load to a maximum dimension of 2048….

A small update has been applied today for the simulation. – Includes setups for the various cars expected to run at Kansas. – Includes a longer top gear in the oval gear set for the Star Mazda so at this week’s track the car won’t hit the rev limiter in the draft. – Fixed a…

Dynamic Shadow Mapping – Fixed a problem causing the new dynamic shadows to not render past the rear of the driver’s car in the mirrors, even when “high detail in mirrors” is enabled. – Fixed a bug where selecting “low detail” cockpit mirrors with dynamic shadow mapping enabled on an SLI graphics card configuration would…

This season’s download will be very large – over 3 GB for 100%ers. Due to various updates we’ve made to our process, including migrating to a newer version of our compiler and other changes to improve the efficiency of building our data, many of our data files are now slightly different which has caused a…

Ford Fusion – The 2013 Ford Fusion NASCAR is now available! – The Ford Fusion can load Chevy SS setups if you copy the setup files into the Ford Fusion directory within your iRacing setups directory. But setups cannot be shared between the different cars within the sim itself. Chevy SS – Fixed the bug…

Chevrolet SS-Gen6 – The 2013 Chevrolet NASCAR is now available! – Note that there is a small bug in this release that can cause the roof flaps on your opponent cars who are parked in pit lane to flap up and down if you’re out driving around the track. This will be fixed in our…

Graphics – Substantial reduction in microstutters due to off-screen shadow map generation. – Optimized render state changes with shadow maps enabled. – Increase the framerate limit option’s maximum from 169 FPS to 334 FPS. Force Feedback – Increase maximum force feedback strength from 40 to 60 to help compensate for the weaker forces some cars…

Race Control Fixed the ttRating computation so that it does not underflow below 0. The Time Trial UI while driving will no longer erroneously say that a sequence is in progress when it may have actually been interrupted by some of the more strict laptime checks we now do. We relaxed the recently made stricter…

Fixed a crash bug that could occur in fully populated open practice servers. Shadows will be disabled in open practice for the time being and will also not show up in the replays saved in an open practice server. A handful of default setups have been updated for the Impala and the Silverado.
