Simulation

—---------------------------------------------------------

General
  • Fixed an issue where having accented or some non-english characters in your Windows username could prevent the Simulator from launching.

Race Control
  • For the race control rules governing pit speed limit, the rules will now have a notion of how far ahead of where the car is now it should be within given timeframes regardless of speed. This should provide a brief and small relaxation for physical oscillations of the car when vehicle speed is very close to the strict speed limit.

  • For the recent Pit Speed Limiter changes, added some additional preventative measures to the system for stopping inadvertent overspeed.

  • Updated some of the race control systems governing pit speed limits to provide a bit more leeway for vehicles entering pit lane.

  • Fixed an issue with Heat Racing where if a track had its "maximum allowed cars on track" value set lower than its "number of starting grid locations", it could fail to generate enough heat sessions to work correctly.

  • Fixed an issue that would prevent an event Admin from rewinding to the start of an event that only had a Qualify and Race session.

User Interface
  • For the Weekend Rules display, the qualifying scrutiny rules are now always displayed in all sessions.

  • For the Weekend Rules Widget, re-added the Pace Speed and Pit Speed values back to the display.

  • The Incident Tracker and Session Rules UI elements are now always at 100% opacity.

  • For the Settings menu, fixed an issue with the 'Only Show Controls for Current Car' behavior.

  • For the Fuel Calculator widget, fixed a Simulator hang that could occur when a calculated stint length was incorrectly estimated as zero milliseconds. No one is that fast!

  • For the Fuel Calculator, fixed a crashing issue with both the Mercedes-AMG W12 and W13 E Performance cars.

  • For the Fuel Calculator widget, fixed an issue where the stint calculations were not running correctly.

  • Fixed an issue where Session Entries could appear empty in Replays.

  • Fixed an issue where the Session Entries "Expand All" button was not usable for team races.

  • Fixed an issue with improper Session labeling in the Session Results tab during Heat Racing Consolation events.

Spotter/Crew Chief

GT3
  • Dry traction control intervention at the most restrictive end of the range has been reduced - TC1, TC2, or TC11 remain unchanged, based on the vehicle. Wet TC intervention at the low end of the range has been reduced, max assist remains the same. These changes are scaled across the entire Dry or Wet range, so most settings have been fine tuned.

Charlotte Motor Speedway
  • (Legends Oval) - Fred's pace car pit entry technique has been upgraded so he gets onto the "Apron" part of the track faster, and prevents "passing the pace car" penalties.
