iRacing julkaisi eilen merkittävän päivityksen, joka on jatkoa viime marraskuussa julkaistulle päivitykselle. Kentältä saadun palautteen mukaan päivitys on osoittautunut erittäin hyväksi, autojen käytös on entisestään parantunut sekä lukuisat pikku viilaukset lisäävät pelattavuutta roimasti.
Päivityksen sisältö kokonaisuudessaan:
Website:
Hosted Sessions / Tournaments
- There is a new function to limit the entry into a hosted session to members of one or more clubs. This will hopefully lead to more club vs. club competition. To facilitate this new feature we moved the “Entry Requirements” section into a new collapsible section called “OPTIONAL SETTINGS”. Click on the “Only allow drivers from selected clubs” checkbox to activate the feature and then add as many clubs as you would like.
- There is also a new function to specify one or more session admins at the time that you configure a hosted session. This feature is also located in the new “OPTIONAL SETTINGS” section. The host is always on the list. You can also select people who you have previously designated as admins, people on your friends/studied list or by name using the driver search function.
- There is a new section on the “Join a Race” page that shows you future tournament sessions that have been scheduled that have you on the grid. Previously, you wouldn’t have seen the tournament session until it launched and you would have to look at the tournament results page to see if you were on the grid for the next round. This should help people to plan for future races.
- The “Host a Race” page now defaults to your last session settings on page load.
Personal Stats Page
- The personal profile section has been redesigned.
- There is a new charting section that displays career charts for iRating, ttRating and License Class. The charts are designed to plot a single data point per week. The data snapshots are taken on Monday evenings just about the start of each new race week. The default chart view will show you your entire career. You can use your mouse to select a subset of the chart and zoom to a finer granularity.  Additionally, when you zoom a chart you will see a “view results” link that will popup a separate window containing the official race results that contributed to the values on the chart. Once you have zoomed a chart you can select the “reset chart” link to return to the default view.
Forums
- A badge will now be displayed on the forums next to a members post if they have been a member of the service for a year or more.  There are currently 5 levels of badges 1+ year member, 2+ year member, 3+ year member, 4+ year member and 5+ year member.  The same badge is also displayed on the members personal stats page.
My Racers – Incoming Friend Requests
- You can now accept/ignore multiple incoming friend requests at once, instead of being limited to one at a time.  This will be helpful for some of our more popular members.
Miscellaneous
- The Race/Test panel has had a styling update. The colors have been changed and the size of the RACE button has been increased.
- Removed the obsolete “sessions” panel from the global settings panel.
- Added a new “Add to Cart” button to the track and car pages. The button is only displayed if you don’t already own the content.
- Added a gift history section to your order history page so you can see the gifts you have sent and received.

New Tire Model
- There are improvements to the tire damping forces, both vertical and lateral. There are improvements to the carcass torsional stiffnesses, which affect the load sensitivity. Fixed a significant bug with lateral/vertical force coordinate transformation. These changes have made all the cars more predictable and have improved the tire feel.
- The NTM is now on the Star Mazda, the Radical SR8, the Riley Daytona Prototype, and the Williams FW31; in addition, improvements have been made to the 14 cars already using the NTM. 18 cars now have the new tire model: Lue lisää…
