iRacing 2022 Season 3 Patch 3, Updated Indianapolis Roadcourse Released

iRacing have today released an update for their service and simulation, along with a new scan of the Indiapolis Motor Speedway roadcourse before the upcoming NASCAR and IndyCar races there this weekend.

Sadly, I do think it took NASCAR racing there consistently for iRacing to actually update the 2009 build of the track, but I already detailed my disappointment at this when the update was announced so won’t do it again.

Here are the build notes:

iRACING UI:

————————————————————–

Go Racing

Resolved a starting time display issue in the Series and Hosted modals when GMT clock formats are enabled.

Cars

Car-specific rules are now displayed in a few places to make understanding unique cases with some cars easier. This includes on a Car’s info page, and while loading into a Session using a car with special rules. Special Rules info includes information about wing adjustments, hybrid systems, Push-2-Pass, and tires.

AI Racing

AI Racing is now available at Indianapolis Motor Speedway – Road Course!

Fixed an issue where AI Roster car numbers could conflict with player car numbers in Race Results.

SIMULATION:

————————————————————–

Graphics

Fixed an issue for single monitor full-screen mode with AMD FSR enabled.

Fixed an issue with low resolution particles while AMD FSR is enabled.

Fixed an issue with window resizing with AMD FSR enabled.

Fixed an issue where night lighting could flicker inside cockpits in very bright areas of night tracks when HDR is enabled.

Virtual Reality

Two new settings options, “UIScreenDistCM” and “UIScreenWidthCM” have been added to the [VR] sections of the “rendererDX11.ini” files.

– – These new distance settings specify the depth and width (measured in centimeters) where the UI screens should render in world space. Generally, if you scale the distance you also want to scale the width about the same amount to keep the apparent size of the screen about the same, otherwise the screen may become too tiny or too large to utilize.

When the Sim is launched from the iRacingUI with a specific display device request (OpenVR, Rift, OpenXR, Monitors), the Simulator will no longer try to detect/initialize unrelated VR HMDs/runtimes unnecessarily.

Fixed the OpenXR re-centering issue where the head position tracking would be in the wrong direction after re-centering. For example, if the re-center rotated 90 degrees, the position tracking would be off by 90 degrees.
