Aber das ist noch nicht alles in dem 14,49 GB großen Download, der erforderlich ist, um alle Updates abzudecken. Es scheint, als hätte iRacing auf die jüngsten Beschwerden über das Ausnutzen von Bremsmanövern reagiert. In den Versionshinweisen wird auf die Konditionierung der Reifen bei niedrigen Geschwindigkeiten durch das Ziehen der Bremsen und das Abbiegen eingegangen, sowie auf eine genauere Überprüfung der Qualifikationsbedingungen bei Boxenausfahrten. Und obwohl kein automatisiertes System jemals perfekt sein wird, wird dieses Problem in Zukunft hoffentlich viel seltener auftreten.
NASCAR-Liga-Rennen erhalten nun die Möglichkeit, Restart-Zonen wie in der realen Welt festzulegen, und die Fahrzeuge der NextGen-Klasse erhalten das neue Schadensmodell (zusammen mit dem neuen Mercedes GT4 und dem Radical SR10) sowie einige Fahrzeugparameter-Updates. KI-Rennen sind jetzt für mehr Fahrzeuge verfügbar, darunter die ARCA Menards Chevrolet, SK Modified, Whelen Modified und beide Stock Car Pro Series-Fahrzeuge, und es gibt UI-Verbesserungen und mehr als 600 neue benutzerdefinierte Setups zur Auswahl.
Aber neue Inhalte ziehen die Aufmerksamkeit auf sich, und die Mercedes-AMG-Optionen werden wahrscheinlich eine willkommene Ergänzung zu den GT4-Feldern sein und auch in der GT3-Serie wettbewerbsfähiger sein. Wenn du den vorherigen Mercedes-AMG GT3 in den letzten 12 Monaten gekauft hast, solltest du eine Rückerstattung von $11,95 iRacing-Credits erhalten, damit du ihn ersetzen kannst. Die große Frage im Moment wird sein, wo der Radical SR10 in neue oder bestehende Meisterschaften passt und wie die neuen Anpassungen der Balance of Power für die Saison 2022 die bevorzugte GT3-Auswahl auf jeder Strecke verändern könnte.

SIMULATION:
Race Servers
- Fixed an issue that was causing teammates to not see the new tire compound selection when it was added to their team’s car during a pit stop.
- Fixed an issue where some drivers with identical favored car numbers may have been given replacement car numbers that were also already in use.
NetCode
- Some of the recent extrapolation changes designed specifically to mitigate nose/rear collisions have been updated.
Race Control
- The Qualifying Conduct Scrutiny system has been updated for increased sensitivity around the pit exit area. This area is for exiting the pits only.
- Fixed an issue where Race Control could release cars that missed the start from the pit lane too soon if the race has a standing start and the cars involved are not very good at launching.
- Fixed an issue where some car parts did not have a correct black flag damage threshold, which could cause issues when they were incorrectly considered “Optional” repairs.
- Fixed an issue where two cars exiting the pit lane during a caution could be inserted into the pace line out of order.
Start Zones
- In real-world racing, zones are often used on tracks to help control where drivers take the green during a rolling start and also where they restart the race at the conclusion of caution. NASCAR is known for this and these zones are recognizable by their prominently painted blue walls and apron areas. In NASCAR this track feature is called the “Start Zone”.
- This functionality has been re-created in iRacing and has been enabled at the following track configurations for this release:
- – – Atlanta Motor Speedway – Oval
- – – Auto Club Speedway – Oval
- – – Bristol Motor Speedway – Dirt – 2021
- – – Charlotte Motor Speedway – Oval – 2018
- – – Chicagoland Speedway
- – – Darlington Raceway
- – – Daytona International Speedway – Oval
- – – Dover Motor Speedway
- – – Homestead Miami Speedway – Oval
- – – Indianapolis Motor Speedway – Oval
- – – Iowa Speedway – Oval
- – – Kansas Speedway – Oval
- – – Kentucky Speedway – Oval
- – – Las Vegas Motor Speedway – Oval
- – – Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
- – – Martinsville Speedway
- – – Michigan International Speedway
- – – Nashville Superspeedway
- – – New Hampshire Motor Speedway – Oval
- – – Phoenix Raceway – Oval
- – – Pocono Raceway
- – – Richmond Raceway
- – – Talladega Superspeedway
- – – Texas Motor Speedway – Oval
- – – World Wide Technology Raceway – Oval
- The Start Zone functionality is enabled or disabled via a checkbox on the “Track Options” step while creating a Hosted or AI Race.
- – – Remember, not all tracks have Start Zones, so this option will only appear on tracks that have the feature available for use.
- When enabled, Start Zone rules is enforced in the following way:
- – – At tracks that have a Start Zone defined, the legacy pace start behavior of allowing the leader to do whatever they want once the pace car pulls off is no longer in the cards. Instead, the leaders of both lines will have to maintain pace speed after the pace car pulls off the track, until they reach the Start Zone. All cars behind them are expected to keep up with the line leaders. In the Pacing UI the leader will be shown the current pace speed and their current speed when Race Control is expecting them to maintain pace speed. This will appear once the pace car pulls off. It looks and behaves similar to the pit speed limit, but is slightly less strict. However, speeding will run you the risk of getting a new Pace Speed Black Flag for not maintaining pace speed.
- – – For the race start, the first rolling start of the event (this includes any waved off race starts), the leader must maintain pace speed until the starter waves the green flag at a random location in the Start Zone. If the leader “takes off” (shows any signs of significant acceleration) before the green flag flies, they will get a Stop-and-Go Jump Start penalty.
- – – For any subsequent rolling restarts, the leader gets to choose when they want to go. The leader must maintain pace speed up to the Start Zone, but they can choose to “take off” anywhere they want within the Start Zone. When they “take off”, the green flag will fly as fast as the starter can react, and everyone else is free to take off too. If the leader does not “take off” by the end of the Start Zone, the starter will throw the green flag anyway and everyone is free to leave the slacking leader in the dust.
- – – With these new rolling start rules, the Pass the Leader rule is also different: the leader of the 2nd line must only be behind the leader at the moment the green flag flies, for both Starts and Restarts. They are free to get ahead of the leader before the start/finish line.
- – – Tracks utilizing the Start Zone have had this zone defined via updated artwork – such as a blue area on the inside wall of the final corner that indicates where the Start Zone starts and ends.
- – – Spotter calls and the Rules tab have also been updated to inform drivers of the Start Zone rules.
- – – If the second line falls significantly behind the leader, the “obey pace speed rule” requirement is removed for that driver until they catch back up to the leader.
- – – If one of the line leaders ignores Race Control and receives a Stop-and-Go Jump Start penalty, the Start Zone rules are abandoned for that start so all drivers can catch-up to the rule breaker.
- – – The Pacing UI elements, spotter calls, and spotter messages have been updated with more info.
- Selecting to use the Start Zone is not available when creating Hosted Sessions via the Classic Membersite.
- Information about the use of the Start Zone is not available when browsing events on the Classic Membersite.

- – – Kansas Speedway – Oval.
- – – Martinsville Speedway
Tires
- Fixed an exploitative issue where tires were getting conditioned far too quickly at low speeds due to excessive brake dragging and wheel turning.
- For the “Must Change Tire Compound Rule” a new status indicator icon has been added to the F2 and F3 black boxes. Akin to the Joker Lap icon, this icon illuminates once the tire change rule requirement has been met.
- The tire set tracking system has been updated so that a tire set is not considered “used” until the driver enters the cockpit for the first time. This allows tire pressures to be set in the garage prior to entering the world for the first time, even if only one set of tires is allowed for the event.
New Damage Model
- The following cars now utilize the New Damage Model:
- – – NASCAR NextGen Class Cars (ALL)
- – – Mercedes-AMG GT4
- – – Radical SR10
- Dirt surface properties have been adjusted for interactions with New Damage Model vehicles as follows:
- – – Dirt surfaces have more friction and rolling drag.
- – – Dirt surfaces are softer for light impacts and harder for deeper impacts.
- The torque calculations associated with tire sidewall collisions against other cars and the environment have been updated to reduce benefits from wall-riding and to prevent unrealistic ramping.
- The manner in which tire collision shapes are calculated has been updated for improved accuracy based on the current tire pressure.
- The handling of tire rim collisions and underside impacts have been improved slightly.
- Chain link fence physics properties have been adjusted for improved realism.
- The damage state manager has been updated in order to fix an issue where a vehicle could sometimes get stuck in an in-progress wheel repair state.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes wheel damage, or mounts and spring dampers in the suspension were being incorrectly repaired slightly when towing to the pits. This meant that the damage state for these parts after pit repairs was better than it should have been.
- – – Fixing this bug may appear to have made some suspensions weaker, since they were erroneously being repaired when a tow occurred, but they are now correct. Please be careful with your open-wheeled cars!
Rendering
- The Graphics Auto-Config processes have been slightly updated.
- The name of the renderer file that is currently in use will now be displayed in the Advanced Graphics Options menu for user reference.
- Support for Screen Space Ambient Occlusion Post Proc (SSAO) is now available.
- Support for AMDs FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0 is now available.
- – – This option appears under the “Resolution” section in the Graphics options.
- Shadow map filtering has been updated to use Percentage Closer Filtering (PCF) and is now enabled by default.
- The dynamic shadow maps now blend better across cascade splits.
- Some of the static shadow map options have been collapsed into fewer options such that cloud shadows are toggled on the track and objects together.
- Filtering of the static shadow maps on the track surface has been improved to reduce sparkling on the track.
- The interior of the car itself is now hidden in the virtual mirror when drawing the mirror from chase cams.
- Fixed an issue where the standalone graphics auto-config tool was not saving a user’s selections from dialog options.
- Fixed an issue with the opacity of track-surface decals at night.
- Fixed an issue with lighting pops on the track surfaces during day/night transitions.
- Fixed an issue with rendering trees at night while the “Two-Pass Trees” option was enabled.
- Fixed a variety of horizon treeline textures that erroneously included a floating black line in the sky.
- Fixed an issue where some tires were not being rendered correctly when dynamic tires were disabled.
- Fixed an issue where the mirror settings (F9 black box) could be swapped around to the incorrect mirrors when adjusted for a car while using the Old Damage Model but then switched to the same car loaded with the New Damage Model, and visa-versa. Now, any mirror adjustments done will be identical between both damage system versions.
- Fixed an issue where some shaders were falling back to obsolete versions, which was causing some dashboard lights to appear square.
- Fixed an issue with GGX shaders where various car windshields were too bright.
Visual Effects
- A new tire graining and cording visual effect has been applied to all cars.
- – – Graining occurs when strips of rubber are torn from a tire and then immediately stick back onto the hot surface of that tire. Cords are the reinforcement material under the rubber tire surface. Graining will start to come in during the tire’s life cycle and will get worse as the tire wears. Cording will start to show at the very end of a tires life and it means you should pit and change tires before bad things happen.
- A haze effect has been added to smoke and dust puffs.
- Fog lighting, and the diffuse lighting during a transition to foggy conditions, have been improved.
- Fixed an issue where tire marks could sometimes appear to have extra dark edges.
- The PopcornFX particle system has been updated to a new version.
Audio
- Impact and scrape sounds for a variety of materials have been improved with greater dynamics.
Pit Stops
- Fixed an issue where fuel leak repairs appeared to repair four times faster than the repair countdown.
Environment
- DRS line textures have been updated.
- A variety of environment object textures have been updated for improved fidelity, and some issues have been fixed.
- Updated a variety of normal maps for some environment objects for some of the 2022 Season 2 tracks.
Pace Car
- Fixed an issue which could potentially cause the pace car to drive too slowly through tight corners on road courses.
Spotter
- A new spotter message has been added that tells you you’ll be forced to start the race using your best qualifying tire compound.
- – – This message plays when the car first enters a qualifying session, if the associated rule is in effect, and if multiple tire compounds are available.
- Multiple spotter packs have been updated, including: Italian-Marco_Arcidiacono, Italian-Renzo_A_Olivier, and Spanish-Ari_Cejas.
- – – Thank you to Marco, Renzo, Ari, Dimitry, and all our spotter pack managers!
- A sound menu option for disabling the pit box countdown has been added.
User Interface
- When using “Alt + K” to rearrange HUD elements, their positions may now be saved on a per-car basis if the appropriate checkbox is selected.
- UI elements may now be moved anywhere on the screen using the “Alt + K” command, even if the central part of the interface is restricted to only a portion of the display, including in VR sessions.
- The mouse-over help messages are now attached to the bottom of each dialog rather than to the far bottom of the display. This is primarily for VR users so that it does not end up outside of your field of view.
- The Dash Box has been updated so that all RPM text colors now match their associated shift LED values.
- The Session screen (Replay screen) now extends the full width of your widescreen monitor, without forcing all the UI elements to the far edges of the display.
- The Interface zoom will no longer be adjusted when changing the render class in the Simulator when using ultra high def displays.
- An issue was fixed that was causing the UI to be vertically scrunched in extremely high aspect ratio devices (like the Pimax in super wide mode).
- – – Similar changes were made to the calculations used to place the 2D UI into the 3D UI space for both Oculus and OpenVR devices.
- The Trade Show interface parameters have been separated out from the default interface parameters. The Trade Show parameters have not been adjusted.
Controllers
- A new option for adjusting how much damping is applied to TrueForce wheels.
- – – This option, trueForceDamperPct=0.05, can be found in the [TrueForce] section of the “app.ini” file. The default value is 5%, to provide your wheel with a bit of weight.
- The Logitech TrueForce API has been updated to the latest version. This update automatically sets the reconstruction filter to 60 Hz if available.
Options
- The Auto-Wiper and Auto-Tear Off options have been separated into individual options.
Replays
- The process for generating dynamic track data within replays has been updated for improved accuracy, particularly for older replays using the New Damage Model.
Sporting Code
- The Official iRacing Sporting Code has been updated.
- – – Language has been updated to explain that incidents still count until all drivers have crossed the finish line.
- – – Additional Breach of Rules section titles have been added.
