iRacing Season 4 Patch 2 Deployed

Yesterday iRacing deployed an update that fixes some issues with race control, AI, audio and includes a number of content updates.

Patch notes:

iRACING UI:

————————————————————–

Loading

Simulation loading errors now include more descriptive information.

– – If you are able, always provide a full error message when reporting an issue to Customer Service.

Payment

A toggle option has been added to the “My Account Settings” to enable or disable the automatic use of iRacing Credits when making purchases of any type in iRacing.

SIMULATION:

————————————————————–

Race Control

At small tracks with very slow pace speeds the calculated green flag zone has been extended further back from the Start/Finish Line, leaving more time for race systems to calculate correctly.

– – This reduces the likelihood of triggering issues that could arise when the calculated green flag zone was only immediately adjacent to the Start/Finish Line, meaning that sometimes on restarts the leader could have crossed the S/F Line prior to the green flag, which could cause problems with scoring of laps, especially with the “Do Not Count Caution Laps” option enabled.

AI Racing

Fixed an issue with AI aggression where sudden and large steering inputs could occur when two or more AI Drivers were side-by-side on Road Courses.

Fixed an error with some AI Drivers ability to estimate fuel consumption.

Audio

For the Low Frequency Effects system, fixed an issue that could cause the full engine explosion LFE effect to trigger when any car engine exploded, not just the player.

Pits

Fixed an issue where the auto pit speed limiter was not disabling correctly during parade laps.

The auto pit speed limiter is now considered active during Test Sessions.

Camera

A new Mark Mode has been enabled that turns the camera into a measurement device.

– – Position the camera at the start of your measurement, hit Mark, and move to the end of your measurement and read out the X/Y/Z or direct distance (D) the camera moved.

Sporting Code

Several updates have been completed to the Official iRacing Sporting Code, including:

– – Information about TTRating has been added.

– – Language has been added informing users that they need to be prepared to submit evidence with every protest.

– – Adjusted information location and details about “Tanking” behavior for clarity.
