Guess they just put out a fix containing a tire compound tweak for the Corvette, will be interesting to see what they changed.
Edit: Ian Berwick(from iRacing) says: "it's going to be a very minor adjustment to the tires. They should feel pretty much the same, but they should be SLIGHTLY more forgiving. Grant can feel the difference.... I'm not good enough to feel it, but slides are a bit more "catch-able" "

"There is an issue with contrast and color balance. We're working on graphics updates that deal with that, and true HDR lighting, DOF blurr, etc. We've had higher priorities right now, but all of that stuff is on our todo list. I've been able to play around with the contrast and color balance and it makes a huge difference.
Our track surface shaders are very lame right now. :-) The only objects with shaders doing anything complicated are the cars.

Nice, in all the screenshots I saw the headlights were yellow, looks like that's not always the case.
I have a L76 V8 in my car and it will be awesome to have something that sounds similar sim racing.
Of all the days my company had to throw a meeting at lunch they HAD TO DO IT TODAY. At least I get free BBQ.
I'm pretty jealous right now. A great V8 engine sound is one of the main things I was hoping for with this car, sounds like they came through?
6 more hours of work to go...
So glad they got SoftTH 1.09C in there, a decent speed improvement for nVidia users in that version with the CUDA support.
iRacing site/forums are down for maintenance, that can only mean one thing.
Is a standing start really that much of a spectacle to see? I would think rolling starts would be cooler, its a big pack of cars closer together at a much higher speed. I've never seen a standing start in person though, so its hard to tell without witnessing both.
Wasn't it a well known fact that the Mazda's and curbs did not get along? Looks like he just screwed his line up to me.
Actually, I was thinking of things backwards now that I think about it again. When I said high FOV, I really meant lower haha. I first noticed it when iRacing put the multihead display change in, which took my FOV from like 115 down to 105 or something like that. Huttu using 60 makes sense.

I just don't know if what you're talking about will be possible in any sim, ever. I think its harder to catch slides in a sim compared to real life because we are sitting in front of a computer with no forces acting on us. In real life, drivers can do that because they can feel everything the car is doing, the split second they start losing the back end, a quick flick of the wheel and they catch it. I think its just really hard to simulate something like that through wheel FFB alone. Also, what makes the aliens in iRacing so fast? I'm sure there are guys who can catch slides 99% of the time in the Mazda, I don't know how, but they're doing something right.
I've noticed that a high FOV helps with catching slides, when you start rotating too much, you noticed it REALLY quickly if your FOV is higher.

SoftTH can use SLI/Crossfire, but you'd need three graphics card instead of two. Reason it doesn't work is that when you're in SLI/Crossfire mode, you're only getting output out of one card instead of both, so you'd need a 3rd card to get information to the third monitor.
Agreed, at least they just came out and said its delayed. I haven't seen any complaining yet. This will make Friday afternoon at work that much more excruciating as I'm going to want to get home and drive the Corvette.
We thought they were coming, but Steve Myers(iRacing) just said they found some issues though and maintenance has been pushed back to tomorrow now. Bummer.
+1
I ponied up and got a Lian-Li case back in 2003 I think it was. More money than I needed to spend but I'd say its worth it over the long run. Love the removable HDD bay and motherboard tray, the money was worth it when it saves you time upgrading stuff. Had it 6+ years now and I have no plans to replace it, been through countless hardware upgrades but I see no reason to get a new case any time soon.
They supposedly didn't change much on the oval side. Just some forced setup options on restrictor plate tracks, and some small engine braking tweaks is all I've hear about I think.
Mosport is pretty awesome. I'm really starting to get back into my road racing groove I think.
This morning they said 0.9 will be supported in the near future, so don't delete that .cfg file just yet. Will have to roll back to 0.8 for now though.
Nope.
The newest version of SoftTH doesn't work either, they're only allowing 0.8 although the 0.9 RC has been out since January and that's essentially what everyone uses. It ceases to amaze me how iRacing always seems to drop the ball. How hard is to create a thread on the forums saying, "we're changing this, give us feedback for SoftTH" since they obviously don't use it very much and neither do their beta testers, judging by how the multihead implementation in the last build was messed up for some SoftTH users.
Why'd you leave in the first place? Lack of races? Its going to be interesting to see what the FastTrack program does for getting people up to A/B faster, there might be a lot more upper class racing going on which I'm looking forward to.
The "iRating tanking" scandal that came out today was pretty amusing to me since my club knew about it all along. The club point system is screwed up and iRacing was told of this at the beginning of the season but didn't do anything about it because "no one will exploit it". Well someone did and now they're adding something to the sporting code to stop it, instead of just fixing the problem so there would be no point to sandbag in the first place. I'd love to sit in on an iRacing team meeting to hear what the hell their discussions are like because their decisions make no sense to me. Also, now Club NY is viewed is immoral cheaters, haha.

Haha nice. I noticed this was coming up the other day, good thing you pointed it out though because I wasn't paying attention.
"We are targeting very early morning Tuesday for the build. The Vette, Indy Car and Mosport are very likely going to be later in the week.
Steve"

Awesome post, that's a ridiculously long hike, congrats on making it! Has to be a great feeling to go on an adventure like that away from real life for such a long time. I'm going to check out those pictures when I get home later, sure there's some good stuff in there.
