    The Race Assistants and also the "Race Center" are now aware of track cuts and penalties. The Spotter will inform you about cuts and any penalty that had been issued the stewards.

    The Team Server has been ported to .NET Core 6.0. If you are running your own Team Server, you have to get the latest .NET runtime from Microsoft and you have to redeploy your Team Server. Data files are compatible.

    Todays and also the next release introduce a couple of new voice commands and controller actions for the Race Engineer. You can ask for the current ideal cold tyre pressures or the pressures that had been used for the last tyre swap. In "Race Center" the remaining stint and driver time are available as information for your team mates. Please consult the release notes for more information.

    @TheBigO This looks like a great application. Does it automatically handle the minimum fuel for qualifications and races changing the car setup, if not handle automatically, perhaps does it suggest the right amount of fuel? I'm always struggling to quickly find the safe minimum amount of fuel and quickly updates the setup screen after qualifications while avoiding missing the start.

    Yes, it does this and so much more. But I must be honest, it is an expert tool with a very steep learning curve, but it is worth it. If you struggle to get it up n running, visit our Discord.

    As promised, a couple of new voice commands and controller actions have been introduced with this release. The most important one allows you to instruct the Race Engineer to plan a pitstop in collaboration with the Race Center in a team race, thereby allowing for a driver-specific setup for the driver of the next stint. But there are really a lot of other changes and enhancements, so don't miss the release notes.

    Release 4.6.1 brings a lot of smaller and not so small bug fixes for various parts of Simulator Controller. Therefore only a small, but nevertheless very smart new function made it into the release build. The "Session Database" now allows you to browse and even correct all tyre pressure data points collected in your recent sessions, which is useful, when you suspect that some data points were recorded, which might not be correct.

    This weeks release again contains many bug fixes and small improvements in many areas, as well as some very useful new functionality for pitstop planning and handling in the "Race Center". Additionally, the "Race Center" also provides now information about the pitstops of all opponents in a race.

    Today we have a significant performance improvement for "Race Center" in situations with high I/O load, as well as a really helpful audio routing capability for streamers. Beside that the Spotter will now tell you, whether the cars around you have already pitted or must still go to the pit compared to your own pitstop history.
