– Fixed an issue where refreshing the iRacing UI (Ctrl+R) while viewing the 3D Car Viewer could create a bad state.

Spotter

Pit Stop
– The speech volume of Lollipop Guy has been reduced.
Rendering
– Fixed an issue where the solar flare effect could render with a four pixel-wide defect when using 3-screen mode without actual bezels.
Visual Effects
– Fixed an issue where sparks were not elongating in the correct direction, nor where they colliding with the track surface.
– Fixed an issue where smoke puffs would move in world-space depending on the camera pitch and camera roll. This change also fixes an issue where smoke puffs would rotate with camera roll, rather than stay fixed in the world.
Audio
– Improved undertray scrapes, grass scrapes, concrete scrapes and 3D curb impact sounds.
Telemetry
– Two new tire telemetry variables have been added.
– – “PlayerTireCompound” and “PitSvTireCompound” indicate the current and pending tire compounds for the player’s car respectively. Both are logged live and to disk.
Virtual Reality
– Created a work-around for a reported bug in OpenVR where the SDK returns camera frustums with the top/bottom reversed, only when using a specific SDK routine to fetch the frustums. The theory is that this is what is causing eye alignment mismatches (even with SPS disabled) on some headsets.
– – If you suspect you are having this issue, to enable the work-around, set “FixGetProjectionRawBug” to 1 inside the “[OpenVR]” section of “rendererDX11.ini” file.
