This Patch contains a plethora of updates and fixes for the 2022 Season 4 Release.

SIMULATION:

Race Control

• At small tracks with very slow pace speeds the calculated green flag zone has been extended further back from the Start/Finish Line, leaving more time for race systems to calculate correctly.
• – – This reduces the likelihood of triggering issues that could arise when the calculated green flag zone was only immediately adjacent to the Start/Finish Line, meaning that sometimes on restarts the leader could have crossed the S/F Line prior to the green flag, which could cause problems with scoring of laps, especially with the “Do Not Count Caution Laps” option enabled.

AI Racing

• Fixed an issue with AI aggression where sudden and large steering inputs could occur when two or more AI Drivers were side-by-side on Road Courses.
• Fixed an error with some AI Drivers ability to estimate fuel consumption.

Audio

• For the Low Frequency Effects system, fixed an issue that could cause the full engine explosion LFE effect to trigger when any car engine exploded, not just the player.

Pits

• Fixed an issue where the auto pit speed limiter was not disabling correctly during parade laps.
• The auto pit speed limiter is now considered active during Test Sessions.

Camera

• A new Mark Mode has been enabled that turns the camera into a measurement device.
• – – Position the camera at the start of your measurement, hit Mark, and move to the end of your measurement and read out the X/Y/Z or direct distance (D) the camera moved.

Sporting Code

• Several updates have been completed to the Official iRacing Sporting Code, including:
• – – Information about TTRating has been added.
• – – Language has been added informing users that they need to be prepared to submit evidence with every protest.
