This digital sound processing was inspired by real-life TV broadcasts where track-side cameras exceed their sound pressure levels and start to distort. - - This effect mimics a track-side microphone, usually with a lower SPL rating of around 100dB, picking up a loud car, such as a NASCAR at 140SPL, whooshing past as though it were a mic mounted on the wall. - - This setting allows you to configure a cameras microphone to sound less clean and more crunchy.

Our engineers have applied the New Damage Model to five more vehicles, brand new tires have been added to 14 more cars, and AI Racing with 17 more pieces of content is here.

MEMBERSITE: iRacers Online - The count of iRacers Online has been made more accurate.

It now includes Members whom are connected to iRacing via the iRacing UI, and all Members in Sessions.

Declare Drivers - A new data endpoint has been added for Broadcasters to get the list of Teams and their declared drivers.

This data endpoint is accessed through the URL: relexternal targetblank - - The intended use for this data is so Broadcasters can know from the start of a Session who will be driving for each Team over the course of the Session.

This data will not provide data for single driver sessions.

The data for Team Sessions without Declared Drivers is no different than what can be obtained by tracking the in-Sim telemetry.

SIMULATION: Race Servers - Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause no Open Practice sessions to be available on race servers for popular series.

Fixed an issue that could cause some teams in driver-swap series to not be assigned into an Open Practice before the Race was launched.

Race Control - The method for calculating the race start pit exit delay and the missed start tow delay have been updated to account for situations in which the slower class may hang back to give themselves additional space at the start of a multi-class race.

Pace Car - A new pace car, Sedan, has been added to iRacing - - This pace car is a sedan-style vehicle, not manufactured by any of the known names in cars.

Iracing Blackbox Resize Professional Look On

Our secretly created sedan provides no brand favoritism while maintaining a stylish and professional look on the track - - The Sedan is now the default pace car for asphalt oval events.

The Sedan may be selected for use, like our existing pace cars, while creating Hosted Sessions at asphalt ovals.

Opponent Cars - Fixed some issue with a small variety of opponent cars including: - - Opponent cars were heavily striking curbs at Long Beach Street Circuit.

Some stockcars appeared to be floating slightly at oval tracks.

Dynamic Track - Track surface dynamics have been updated to react more realistically with tires of different compounds, such that softer tires will tend to produce a thicker layer of rubber than harder tires.

Added the ability for the server to begin transmitting dynamic track data for the next session to clients, which is designed to make session transitions more accurate, and avoid large visual changes in the first few moments of a new session.

This includes the windshield banner, number boards, etc.

These cars have white numbers in the number boards, and a rear number that can be color-changed in the paint shop.

Each car has Michelin tires except for the Lamborghini and the Ferrari, which have no tire branding.

Each car has IMSA leaderboards.

The digits on each display are the same color as its car class (red for GTLM, etc.).

For cars that have round position lights on the sides, they remain, but will not function by design.

New Damage Model - The New Damage Model has been enabled on the following vehicles: - - Dallara iR-01 - - Formula Renault 2.0 - - NASCAR Chevrolet Monte Carlo - 1987 - - NASCAR Ford Thunderbird - 1987 - - Street Stock - The manner in which tires react to forces have been adjusted so they handle object impacts more consistently.

Tires handle forces from contact with anything other than the ground with a more simple algorithm that favors consistency.

Forces acting on tires from objects will now much closer match those seen by opponents for all drivers.

This should make wheel damage more consistent between player and opponent cars.

Tire impacts with a surface, such as the track, curbs, and off-road areas, will continue to use the original high-complexity tire force algorithm.

Qualification Conduct Scrutiny System - Some additional adjustments have been made for the Qualification Conduct Scrutiny System particularly concerning braking, pit speeds, and optimal race line speeds.

These adjustments will be more noticeable at higher levels of scrutiny.

Gridding - Fixed an issue where custom grids for Hosted Team Sessions were sometimes ignored.

Hybrid Deployment System - The automated hybrid deployment system has been re-written with some slight improvements on deployment strategy.

Iracing Blackbox Resize Manual Deployment Option

The following vehicles are affected: - - - Audi R18 - - - McLaren MP4-30 - - - Porsche 919 - Fixed an issue with the manual deployment option for hybrid deployment systems where the offset was acting in the opposite direction.

Rendering - The majority of the tiny pin-holes in the middle of the paved racing surfaces, where sky could show through from behind as bright speckles, has been fixed.

Altered the non-VR driving cameras near clip from 10cm to 2cm, to reduce the amount of clipping away of objects very near the camera.

Visual Effects - Tire smoke and dust cloud effects have been substantially upgraded - - Smoke and dust now provide a greater sense of volume and density.

Lighting and shading of smoke and dust clouds has been improved.

The sizes and behaviors of dust and smoke clouds have been updated.

Dust puffs kicked-up by spinning tires have been updated.

Spark effects have been updated.

The particle systems memory management has been optimized for improved performance.

Audio - Audio levels for scrape sounds for all material types have been improved.

Mild impact sounds for all material types have been improved.

This is a multi-channel compressorlimiter that will work in surround, stereo and headsets.

The effect can ONLY be used in replays to increase the volume of quieter sounds and mimics the dynamics used in TV Broadcasts.

The compressor effect will give a perceived increase in overall volume but we have been careful not to allow the peak volume to exceed the levels obtained with the effect turned off.

The three options available for the Replay Master Compressor option are: - - - None: Normal replay dynamics with zero effect.

Mild: A noticeable compression of the dynamic range.

The effect will boost the quieter sounds for a more consistent amplitude.

The quieter sounds will be a lot louder.

Replay Distortion: The replay cameras now have a microphone distortion setting for XAudio2 in the replay camera tool (CTRL F12).

This digital sound processing was inspired by real-life TV broadcasts where track-side cameras exceed their sound pressure levels and start to distort.

This effect mimics a track-side microphone, usually with a lower SPL rating of around 100dB, picking up a loud car, such as a NASCAR at 140SPL, whooshing past as though it were a mic mounted on the wall.

This setting allows you to configure a cameras microphone to sound less clean and more crunchy.
