Full 2018 Season 4 Changelog

Updates: 

iRacing Beta Interface

– Performance Improvements
– – The iRacing Beta Interface has been disassembled and rebuilt from the ground up to improve overall performance and stability in all areas. This was a long-term project, and in the process we’ve made some dramatic improvements to the underlying structures that will provide immediately noticeable performance upgrades, and will make future development more water-tight.

– Dynamic Modal Menus
– – Modal Menus (A menu screen that appears over the iRacing Beta Interface, such as the Create a Race screen or the Downloader) now resize automatically to better utilize screen space.
– – Modal Menus now utilize a frame that includes action buttons at the bottom, while the content of the screen can scroll freely within the frame. This means that buttons like Cancel, Join, and Test Drive will always be displayed at the bottom of the modal menu window.

– Scaling Improvements
– – The options for scaling the iRacing Beta Interface can still be found in the Settings section, but now the UI Scaling is handled by the game engine, improving performance substantially.
– – The UI may now be scaled in 5% increments between 50% and 200%.

– Spotter Passwords
– – User-Created Races and Official Races now fully support spotter passwords.
– – – To view entries in Official Sessions, click the white icon indicating the amount of drivers registered for an event. Entries looking for a spotter are indicated by the headphone icon next to the “Register” button.

– Combined Sessions
– – Spectator Sessions are now part of all Official Sessions, and are displayed in the same list.

– Test Drive
– – You can now use a Test Drive button for any Hosted Session.

– Ultra HD Support
– – UHD monitors are now natively supported and no longer require a manual activation.

Downloads

– A new Content Delivery Network, Limelight, has been added as an option for our Members.
– – Some details on this enhancement can be found here: http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3615303.page

– The “Total Download Size” on the Downloads web page has been updated to reflect the amount still to be downloaded if a previous update attempt was partially downloaded.

– Fixed an issue on the download web page which could erroneously display a “not enough free space” error message.

Updater

– When the iRacing Updater shuts down, it will now generate car setup directories for all cars that you have installed. This should make managing and sharing vehicle setups easier.

Simulator

– We’ve added some preventative measures for some issues that may have caused stuttering for some members.

– Some of the third-party software that the iRacing Simulator utilizes has been updated to a newer version. If you are running Windows 7, you must be running Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later in order to continue to use iRacing.

Connectivity

– The L/Q/S/P meters on the frame rate (FPS) display have been reorganized, and the ability to control them has been added to the in-Sim Options Menu.

– The meters are now broken up into 4 separate groups: Graphics, Network, System, and Steering/Force Feedback (which is only available while driving). They are still attached to the frame rate (FPS) display, and will all be hidden if you choose to hide the FPS display.
– – Each individual group can be disabled, shown graphically, or shown numerically, via selections in the lower-right area of the in-Sim Options Menu in the “On Screen Displays” section.

– Graphics Group:
– – Renderer (R)
– – – Graphically, this meter shows a 1-second running average of how much time it is taking for the iRacing graphics engine to build the set of commands that tell the graphics card how to draw each frame. An empty bar means it is taking 0 seconds, and full bar means it is taking 1 second. Like the CPU meter, a purple bar is shown beneath this one, and shows the 15-second running average.
– – – Numerically, this value is displayed in milliseconds, and only the 1-second running average is displayed.
– – Graphics (G)
– – – Graphically, this meter shows a 1-second running average of how much time it is taking your graphics card to draw the displayed frames. An empty bar means it is taking 0 seconds, and full bar means it is taking 1 second. Like the C and R meters, a purple bar is shown beneath this on, and shows the 15-second running average.
– – – Numerically, this value is displayed in milliseconds, and only the 1-second running average is displayed.

– Network Group:
– – Latency (L)
– – – Graphically, an empty bar is 0ms of round-trip network latency between your computer and the race server, while a full bar is 1000ms (one second) of round-trip latency.
– – – Numerically, this measurement is in Milliseconds.
– – Quality (Q)
– – – Graphically, the left-side meter measures the incoming network packet loss to the Simulation from the race server, and the right-side meter measures the incoming packet loss on the race server from your Simulation. Both meters measure only your connection to the race server, not your own, nor our race server’s overall internet connection packet loss. An empty meter is 0% packet loss, and a full meter is 50% packet loss.
– – – Numerically, this measurement is a percentage (100 means no packet loss, 0 means 100% packet loss).

– System Group:
– – CPU (C)
– – – The core of the Simulation runs 60 times per second (though some parts run at a higher rate). To keep up with the simulated world, the Simulation must complete an “update” in less than 1/60th of a second, otherwise, it will start to fall behind.
– – – Graphically, this meter shows a 1-second-long running average of the percentage of that 1/60th of a second the simulation is taking to “run the world”. An empty bar means 0% of that 1/60th of a second is being used, while a full bar means at least 100% is being used, but it could actually be “running long”. If the simulation keeps “running long”, it will begin to fall behind “real time”, leading to time Skew between your Simulation and the server. A purple bar is drawn beneath the normal CPU bar, and it shows a longer-term 15-second running average.
– – – Numerically, this measurement is a percentage of the allowed 1/60th of a second that the Simulation is using to update the world. Only the 1-second running average is displayed.
– – Skew (S)
– – – This meter measures the simulation-world time difference between your Simulation and the correct simulated-world time, as kept by the race server. While small flickers of Skew can appear due to “network jitter” (variations in the round-trip network Latency between your computer and the race server), significant amounts of Skew are almost always caused by your computer being unable to perform the calculations necessary to keep up with real time (see the CPU (C) meter discussion above). That is why this metric appears as part of the System group, instead of the Network meter group.
– – – Graphically, an empty bar means your simulation is in sync with the server. As the meter grows to the left from the center, your system is falling behind the server, and the bar will be full-left when the Sim is 1 second behind. As the meter grows to the right from the center, your system is getting ahead of the server, and the bar will be full-right when it is 1 second ahead.
– – – Numerically, this measurement is in seconds.
– – Paging (P)
– – – Modern computers have physical RAM (memory), but programs that run on them operate using a “virtual memory” address space. For a program to actually use the contents of a piece of its virtual memory, it must have actual physical RAM memory attached to it. Paging is the term that covers how the operating system manages the attachment of physical RAM memory to a program’s virtual memory addresses. When the OS must intervene in the virtual<->physical memory attachment of a 4K byte “page” of memory, that causes a “page fault”. “Hard” page faults are when the operating system must transfer data between physical RAM and your disk (or SSD). These are slow operations that can greatly impact the performance of your computer if they occur at a high rate.
– – – Graphically, hard page faults are shown in green or yellow, and the meter will be full-yellow at 30 hard page faults/second.
– – – Numerically, this measurement displays the number of hard page faults per second.

– Steering Group:
– – Force Feedback (F)
– – – This metric shows the torque from the steering column as a percentage, after the scaling from your force slider is applied. You want to keep the forces below 100% so that the wheel is not over-saturating, but still high enough that you are using the full range allowable from your wheel. You can make adjustments to your force levels while driving by using the F9 black box. Or you can drive a clean lap then hit the ‘auto’ button in the F9 box to let us find a reasonable estimate of how much force to send to the wheel.
– – – Graphically, red indicates you have 100% torque saturation, yellow indicates you have 85% to 99% torque saturation, and green indicates 84% or less torque saturation.
– – – Numerically, the value displayed is the percentage of torque saturation.

– If the Simulation determines that it seems to be having performance issues that are causing it to fall behind the race server, the FPS and other meter displays will be forced on, even if you currently have them hidden. Additionally, the System meters (C/S/P) will be forced to be displayed, even if you had marked that particular meter group as hidden. The labels of the meters that indicate the indicate the performance issue will be flashed. Currently, only the C and S meters are analyzed for performance issues, and so only those meter’s labels will be flashed.

Driving Aids

– Fixed an issue where the pit lane exit blue line for “Pit Lane 0” at tracks with 2 pit lanes would show when in any pit lane, and the “Pit Lane 1” line would show when not in a pit lane. Now, the blue line will correctly show up for whatever pit lane you are in, and not show any if you are not in a pit lane.

Hybrid Power Units

– Removed an efficiency correction that was left in by mistake in the MGU-K deploy demand, and deploy cap calculations.

Dirt

– The shape of the water gradient on dirt ovals is now variable, and slightly more water will be lost in the process of wearing the track away. This will cause tracks to transition from the prepared state to hardpan a bit faster and less predictably, and create a slightly drier environment overall.

– Made the toughness of dirt and resulting grip more sensitive to water content.

– The lateral strength effect of the cushion dirt has been reduced slightly.

– Heat Races at Dirt Ovals will now initialize with more track wear, and the variance of that starting usage percentage has been increased.

– The track groove that forms during Dirt Oval races should now be displayed even with the Graphics Option “Render Dynamic Track Data” disabled.

Rallycross

– Body stiffness and damping of Rallycross cars has been reduced to help decrease visible body damage and improve car-to-car contact performance.

Opponent Cars

– Opponent vehicles on your machine should now have more accurate positioning measurements sent to it from the Race Server, including altitude, roll, pitch, and steering angle. This should make opponent vehicles appear to drive smoother while racing, and in Replays.

Garage

– Fixed an issue where some values were incorrectly flashing yellow.

Rendering

– Improved the dynamic level-of-detail (LOD) adjustment for cars and pit objects when too many are visible and too high LODs are being used all at once. The LODs are now based on actual object distance rather than view depth.

– Fixed an issue where the driver’s hands would disappear from your car when you were not the active driver.

Visual Effects

– Smoke effects now react to wind, lighting, shadow, and a visual turbulence effect has been added.

– Jet fly-overs have been adjusted.

Audio

– Backfires and gear shifting sounds for stockcars have been improved.

– Marble impacts, scrubs, and castoff sounds have been improved.

– Hit and scrape sounds for grounding impacts of vehicle undertrays on soft materials, such as tirewalls, rubber, and some chicane humps have been improved.

– Sawtooth curb sounds have been improved.

– Audio volumes have been re-balanced for all default iRacing camera sets.

Paint Kit

– The Craftsman logo has been added to the Paint Kit.

Force Feedback

– The Simulation will no longer attempt to dampen when the Force Feedback option “Dampen Oscillations” is checked. Instead, it will only reduce the force level. The dampen effect is not stable on all wheels. This should help reduce some wheel oscillations when the car is parked.

Telemetry

– New driver change telemetry variables have been added:
– – dcDashPage, dcPitSpeedLimiterToggle, dcDRSToggle, dcPushToPass, dcStarter, dcLowFuelAccept, dcHystBoostHold, dcFCYToggle

– New driver pit telemetry variables have been added:
– – dpFastRepair, dpFFlapSetting, dpFuelAddKg, dpFuelFill, dpFWingAngleOffset, dpFWingSetting, dpLFTireChange, dpLFTireColdPress, dpLRTireChange, dpLRTireColdPress, dpLTireChange, dpRFTireChange, dpRFTireColdPress, dpRRTireChange, dpRRTireColdPress, dpRTireChange, dpRWingAngleOffset, dpWinshieldTearoff, dpFUFangleIndex

– Driver pit telemetry variables “dpLrWedgeAdj” and “dpRrWedgeAdj” have been renamed to “dpLRWdgeAdj” and “dpRRWedgeAdj” to better match the rest of the driver pit telemetry variables.
