iRACING BETA UI:
Loading
– Some new video clips have been added to the splash screen when the iRacing BETA UI is loading – collect them all!
– Loading progress for the iRacing BETA UI is now displayed in the Windows Taskbar.
Loading Screen
– Fixed an issue where using the loading screen could cause the Simulator to load into the wrong full-screen resolution when the Windows desktop is in HDR color space.
SIMULATION:
AI Racing
– AI Drivers have received additional training with the Audi RS3 LMS.
Heat Racing
– Fixed an issue that was causing User-Created Heat Racing Sessions to have an incorrect limit on the max number of drivers in the Session.
– Fixed an issue where Heat Racing Events were not using the “Score Average Lap” setting correctly for Qualify Sessions.
Tire Sets
– Fixed an exploit where a driver could get a free set of tires during a pit stop if they exited the vehicle.
Auto-Exposure Camera System
– Adjusted the rates and limits of this system to help minimize issues while we improve it.
– Fixed several bugs related to locating the cockpit window in VR.
Visual Effects
– Adjusted the camera shake effect for camera transitions.
Particle Effects
– Adjusted particle settings for when a players’ tires make contact with the ground.
Audio
– Volume of sawtooth curbs has been adjusted to prevent audio clipping.
XAudio2
– A Master Volume slider has been added to the Sound Options menu. Now you do not have to fiddle with the “app.ini” file to adjust it.
– – The slider ranges from -40 dB to 0 dB, so users can easily tune the volume of the entire Simulation.
– The volume adjustment range of Engine, Tires, Crash, and Wind sounds have been increased from -10 dB to -20 dB.
– Fixed the issue where XAudio2 was not correctly muting the Simulator when the window loses focus, if requested.
– – Users can set this through the variable, “mute_WhenFocusLost”, in the “app.ini” file. A value of “1” will mute the Simulator when window focus is lost, and a value of “0” will not.
– Fixed an issue where microphone volume gain was not being applied to XAudio2 stereo sounds.
– – This was causing the cockpit view’s engine and wind sounds to be too loud at times, particularly if the Master Volume was reduced from maximum.
– Fixed an issue with crackling noises during car startup sequences when using xAudio2.
